Title: Sharing base station resources among plural network operators
Inventor: ARNOTT ROBERT
IPC: H04W16/10
Filed: 2013-01-30
Abstract: A wireless telecommunication system is described comprising a shared base station 5 able to divide resources between multiple network operators 2-A, 2-B sharing the base station. The base station resources are divided into portions of resources (Figures 6 & 7) reserved for each network operator respectively and resources shared by all network operators. The shared base station is configured to monitor the usage of its resources by each operator and to determine, for each scheduling round, an appropriate prioritisation of communication bearers associated with the network operators. A sub-frame period may correspond to a scheduling round. Over time the shared base station provides a first portion of resources for use by a first network operator to maintain a target average minimum proportion of the resources to be prioritised for communication bearers of the first network operator (e.g. according to a contractual sharing), similarly, over time, a second portion of the resources are provided for a second network operator and a third, shared, portion of the resources are provided for use flexibly by either operator depending on current demand. A decision may be may for each scheduling round (i.e. sub-frame) whether the resources should be allocated on a shared basis or on a network operator based priority basis in dependence on respective sizes of the first operator portion, second operator portion and shared portion(s). In a further embodiment admission is controlled for a new communication bearer onto one of the first operator portion or second operator portion in dependence on the size of the operator portion for that specific network operator.

Title: Automatic reclosing alternating current circuit breaker
Inventor: NIEHOFF RONALDUS HENDRIKUS MARIA
IPC: H02H3/44
Filed: 2013-12-04
Abstract: An AC circuit breaker with automatic reclosing function comprises galvanic separation switches SW2, SW3, bypass switch SW1, semiconductor switch IGBT and a processing unit that controls all switching elements. A short circuit and overcurrent protection unit and fault current detection unit are connected to the processing unit to determine if a fault is present and trip the circuit breaker by opening bypass switch SW1 and semiconductor switch IGBT. The type of fault is determined by monitoring the current and rate of change of current dI/dt prior to tripping and a reclosing attempt is delayed by a suitable predetermined time period based on the type of fault. A reclosing is attempted by closing semiconductor switch IGBT at zero crossing of the mains voltage and monitoring for the presence of a fault condition; if still present, the semiconductor switch IGBT is opened, disconnecting the circuit breaker and another reclosing attempt is made after a further time period. If no fault is present the reclosing procedure is resumed by closing bypass switch SW1. After a number of unsuccessful reclosing attempts, the circuit breaker is permanently disconnected. This automatic soft-start reclosing method can prevent both unwanted nuisance trips and component damage.

Title: A data processing system and method for handling multiple transactions
Inventor: MATHEWSON BRUCE JAMES
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2014-01-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing system with a master device, slave devices and a interconnect circuitry to couple the master with the slave devices to enable transactions to be performed by the slave devices upon request from the master device. The master device issues a multi-transaction request identifying multiple transactions to be performed, the multi-transaction request providing a base transaction identifier, a quantity indication indicating a number of transactions to be performed, and address information. Request distribution circuitry within the interconnect circuitry analyses the address information and the quantity indication to determine, for each of the multiple transactions, the slave device that is required to perform that transaction. Transaction requests are then issued from the request distribution circuitry to each determined slave device to identify which transactions need to be performed by each slave device. Each slave device independently provides a response to the master device to identify completion of the transactions. Also disclosed is the same multi-transaction request approach used to initiate cache maintenance operations within a plurality of cache storage devices.
