Title: Apparatus, System, and method for catalyst presence detection
Inventor: LANA CARLOS
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 2010-12-10
Abstract: A system to detect the presence of a catalyst includes a catalyst housing (102), a first temperature sensing device (204), a second temperature sensing device (206), a flow rate measurement device (208), and a processing device (210). The first temperature sensing device measures a first temperature of exhaust gas upstream of the catalyst housing. The second temperature sensing device measures a second temperature of the exhaust gas downstream of the catalyst housing. The processing device estimates an expected time delay between the measured inlet and outlet exhaust gas temperatures corresponding to a system with a catalyst present. The processing device may also determine the presence of a catalyst by comparing the measured second temperature to the measured first temperature and comparing the measured second temperature to an estimated delayed first temperature associated with the expected time delay.

Title: Variable geometry turbine
Inventor: DENHOLM TIM
IPC: F02B37/22
Filed: 2012-06-15
Abstract: A variable geometry turbine has an annular inlet 9 to a turbine wheel 5, the inlet includes first and second axially spaced passages which extend from an outer diameter to an inner diameter. A generally cylindrical sleeve 30 is moveable for varying the size of the annular inlet. The sleeve is movable in a first direction from a first position to an opening position of the second inlet passage, during which movement the second inlet passage is closed. When the sleeve is in the opening position, the cross-sectional area of an opening to the first inlet passage defined between a free, first end of the sleeve and the first inlet passage sidewall is substantially equal to the minimum cross-sectional area of the first inlet passage. Movement of the sleeve in the first direction beyond the opening position of the second inlet passage serves to initiate opening of the second inlet passage.

Title: Searching for Header Names using conversion to canonical form including integer value
Inventor: OUDOT OLIVIER
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2012-08-06
Abstract: Headers in some protocols (eg. SIP, HTTP) can include header names/header field names/methods that are case insensitive strings (Fig. 7 - 711,712,714-716) and which may also have abbreviated forms (713). Searching for all possible strings can be laborious. The invention proposes converting the strings into a canonical format (720,722) which reduces the string searching required. Mappings from received strings to canonical forms are built up by converting strings to lower case 305, searching with the lower case version 306 and then adding a map from the received string to a new 309/existing 308 canonical form. Once strings are in the map they can be used for direct look up of canonical forms 302-304. The canonical form includes an integer (eg. memory location or other index value) that may be used for further searching (Fig. 4 404).

Title: Transmitting billing information relating to a source cell to a target cell when handing over a wireless communication unit from the source to the target cell
Inventor: KILGOUR CHRISTOPHER EDWARD JOHN
IPC: H04L12/14
Filed: 2012-08-13
Abstract: A localised billing plan for a mobile wireless communication unit (107) in a cellular communication system can be preserved when the unit relocates from one cell to another by including billing Service Area Identity (SAI) of the source cell in the handover message to the target cell. The billing service area identity may be included in a last visited cell list. Aspects of the invention include a method for maintaining a billing plan or tariff in a cellular communication system, a network element, an integrated circuit adapted to configure a message for transmission and a tangible computer program product. The handover may be from one macro-cell to another macro cell, from one femto-cell to another femto-cell and between macro-cells and femto-cells, or between different radio access networks. In an aspect of the invention, signal processing logic attaches cell As SAI, tagged with its billing information, as an IE (Information element) or UE history information which is associated with the most recently visited cell in the UE history information. The access point then transmits this modified UE history information to the target cell C, which is received in node B Access point and passed for decoding.

Title: Adjusting a Handover parameter when a User Equipment is liable to experience rapid deterioration in Quality of a link with a Base Station
Inventor: GRECH SANDRO
IPC: H04W24/02
Filed: 2012-09-06
Abstract: A method of controlling handover in a cellular communications network, comprising identifying a situation in which a User Equipment (UE) is liable to experience rapid deterioration in Quality of a link with a Base Station (BS), collecting measurement information related to the conditions experienced by a UE in said situation and automatically adjusting at least one handover parameter in said BS based on the collected information. The UE in said situation may be handed over to a target cell sooner than without said adjustment. When such a sharp deterioration of the link quality is detected, the BS collects measurement information related to the radio conditions associated with the source, target and other cells experienced by the UE in that problem location. The BS can react by adopting a more aggressive handover policy, so that the rapid degradation does not lead to a failed handover.
