Patent GB-2506606-A (GB)
Title: Wireless network registration without requiring a packet data connection to be established
Inventor: JOKIMIES MATTI
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2012-10-02
Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) can indicate to a Mobility Management Entity (MME) that a packet data connection is not required to be established immediately upon registration. This can free resources when the UE knows that it will not need to transmit or receive data for some time, which is often the case for UE using Machine to Machine (M2M) communication. In other embodiments, the MME can delay the establishment of a data connection for a UE if there are temporarily not enough resources to support it. A UE transmits a message indicating a request for attachment to the network, wherein the message includes an indication whether the UE supports registration without establishing a packet data connection. The network accepts the request and selectively configures the UE to either a registered state with or without a packet data connection in dependence on the indication in the message.

Title: Apparatus for converting rotary and linear motion to reciprocate saw blades
Inventor: SEBHATU TEKLEMICHAEL
IPC: B23D49/00
Filed: 2012-10-19
Abstract: Apparatus for converting rotary motion to linear motion or linear motion to rotary motion, comprising a rotatable piece 24 rotatable about an axis and at least one member 26a-26d having diagonal grooves 46a-46d which cooperate with ball bearings 30a-30d in a non-linear groove 28 in piece 24. Rotation of the piece 24 via a drill causes the balls 30a-30d to reciprocate parallel to the axis of the piece 24 which because of the interaction with the diagonal grooves 46a-46d results in lateral reciprocating linear movement of the member 30a-30d. The apparatus may be part of a sawing device for cutting by repetitive reciprocating cutting action of at least one saw blade 10a-10d on a surface of an object to be cut. Also claimed is a sawing device having a rotary shaft extending in a direction of a centre of mass of the sawing device and a saw blade 10a-10d for attaching to the sawing device.

Title: Arrangements for controlling mobility in a network sharing environment
Inventor: BIRE GUILLAUME SA
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2012-10-08
Abstract: Arrangements in network (RAN) sharing for transmission of system information such as neighbour cell frequency information are described. A set of common system information which applies to networks (PLMNs) sharing at least one shared cell is prepared. A set of dedicated system information which applies to at least one of the networks sharing the shared cell is prepared (S210). The dedicated system information is addressed only to UEs configured to support sharing. System information comprising the set of common system information and the set of dedicated system information is transmitted. The common system information indicates frequency channels used by neighbouring cells of the networks that share the shared cell (a unified BA list). The common system information is also transmitted in non-shared cells neighbouring the shared cell. Also disclosed is the use by a network of a different network identification element (NCC) in a shared cell to one used in a non-shared cell. Permission indicators based on the network identification elements are used to indicate to UEs which networks are allowed to be considered in cell reselection, measurement and reporting procedures. The invention allows mobility between shared and non-shared cells while minimising signalling and unnecessary UE measurement and reporting of cells to which the UE has no access.

Title: Systems and methods for safely landing an aircraft by identifying radio altimeter failure
Inventor: GREENE RANDALL A
IPC: B64D45/04
Filed: 2013-12-13
Abstract: A system and method for safely landing an aircraft including a low range radio altimeter (420 figure 4), a barometric altimeter (410 figure 4), and an autothrottle control (430 figure 4). The radio altimeter calculates 302 a first height of the aircraft above ground-level, the barometric altimeter calculates 308 a second height of the aircraft above ground-level, and the autothrottle control determines if the first height and the second height do not correlate 310. If the first and second heights are determined to lack correlation, then a radio altimeter error is identified and automatic thrust-control of the aircraft is reduced 312 or stopped. In some embodiments, the second height is partially calculated by accessing 306 a ground elevation database to obtain an elevation of the ground above sea level and determining a difference between the elevation of the ground above sea level and an elevation of the aircraft above sea level. Lack of correlation may be identified if the deviation between the heights is greater than a predetermined percentage.

Title: Apparatus and methods for measuring electrical current
Inventor: FORD JOHN STEWART
IPC: H03F3/187
Filed: 2014-03-25
Abstract: The impedance of a device under test (DUT) is measured using an AC supply. A transimpedance amplifier is formed of a resistance or capacitor network having positive and negative feedback from the output of an operational amplifier. A first resistance (R21) is between the circuit input and negative amplifier input. A second resistance (R22) is between the negative amplifier input and amplifier output. A third resistance (R23) is between ground and positive amplifier input. A fourth resistance (R24) is between positive amplifier input and amplifier output, with ratios of R21/R22 equal that of R23/R24. The network holds the current input terminal at a ground voltage and the two input terminals of the amplifier at a common finite voltage above the ground voltage.

Title: Multi function collapsible trolley for transferring heavy loads across rough terrain which can also be used as a chair and a camp bed
Inventor: JORDAN GRAHAM
IPC: B62B1/12
Filed: 2014-04-09
Abstract: A collapsible trolley in which a main frame, consisting of two parallel side rails A, is spanned by two separate fabric top covers (J1, J2 figure 19) which are held in tension by hinged cross brace spreaders E providing it with structural rigidity. A single, centrally located, large diameter wheel B is provided. An under-slung carry pocket (K1) is located between the fabric covers, said pocket allowing balanced loading of heavy items. Beaded edges of the pocket and fabric top covers are inserted into grooves in the side rails to secure them in place (figure 17). A four- legged, triangulated, support structure secures the wheel to the parallel side rails such that it transfers further tension into the two piece fabric top cover of the trolley making it more rigid the heavier it is loaded. The four support legs D may be hinge mounted to the parallel side rails such that they can be folded away under the device, meaning that the trolley can also be used as a camp bed when the wheel is removed. The trolley may also be usable as a seat, and the frame of said trolley can be dismantled and folded up for transport.
