Title: A mobility controller subscribes to call status updates originated by a session transfer controller to assist handover of user equipment
Inventor: ZISIMOPOULOS HARIS
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2010-05-07
Abstract: A user equipment 10 is handed over from a first radio access network to a second radio access network coupled to a mobility controller, e.g. MSC 14, and having an association with the first radio access network. The user equipment 10 communicates with a session transfer controller, e.g. I/S-CSCF 28 and SCC AS 30, using the first and second radio access networks. Handover is assisted by receiving a first message 4.6, at the mobility controller 14, from the first radio access network requesting handover of the user equipment 10 and sending a second message 4.10, from the mobility controller 14, to the session transfer controller 28, 30 subscribing the mobility controller 14 to status updates, originated by the session transfer controller 28, 30, relating to a status of a call to or from the user equipment 10. One of the status updates 4.19 originated by the session transfer controller 28, 30 is received at the mobility controller 14, dependent on a communication 4.16 via the first radio access network from the user equipment 10 to the session transfer controller 28, 30 of a change in the status of the call 4.15. A call status indicator 4.20 of the mobility controller 14 is updated in response to receipt of the status update 4.19. Thus, call continuity may be maintained on handover if the status of a call were to change after receipt of the first message and before handover of the user equipment 10 to the second radio access network.

Title: Tracking sonar
Inventor: WANG YONG
IPC: G01S7/62
Filed: 2010-05-10
Abstract: A sonar displaying an underwater image periodically transmits a directional ultrasonic chirp pulse signal underwater, receives a signal reflected from a target moving underwater, determines the position of the target using a time difference of arrival monopulse arrangement, and displays this. Successive detections are associated in a matched filter and a displacement symbol (a line of appropriate length and direction, i.e. a trail) corresponding to a change in a position of the target object is displayed at the detected position of the target. A fish-detecting sonar may detect individual fish and display fish length (indicated by colour), depth (indicated by hue/intensity) and orientation.

Title: Angular speed or torque sensor with reduced sensitivity to vibration
Inventor: BODIN ROBERT MICHAEL GEORGE
IPC: G01D3/036
Filed: 2010-06-22
Abstract: AÂ variable reluctance sensor for sensing the speed or torque of a rotating shaft in a gear box or gas turbine engine comprising magnetic pole piece 70 with conductive wire 71 wrapped around it and surrounded by housing 73 such that, in use, the front face 73b of the housing is positioned near an object to be sensed. The pole piece is rigidly fixed (e.g. via stainless steel ring (90, Fig. 9) or cup (101, Fig. 10)) to the side wall 73a so that strain acting on the pole piece is transferred 75 to the housing, thus reducing sensor microphony.
