Filed: 2011-09-30
Abstract: In the field of IP telephony, a video conference call is established between a calling node and a called node. Identification information relating to a calling party is transmitted to a connection server, which accesses a database of information relating to one or more parties and links between the parties. It uses the links to determine a set of parties depending on the identity of the calling party. It transmits identification information relating to the set of parties, and receives a selection from a user of a party from said set. It interrogates a database to determine a network address for one of the nodes and initiates a call with one of the nodes. It sends a call-transfer instruction to that node, which instructs the node to cease the call with the connection server and to transfer the call to the other node.

Title: Virtual loading bay
Inventor: HERRON NEIL
IPC: G08G1/017
Filed: 2010-06-01
Abstract: A parking/loading area 39, defined by one or more coordinates, is an exception to a parking restriction 38 (e.g. double yellow or red lines). It is implemented by detecting a vehicle in a monitored area including the parking/loading area and determining whether the vehicle is positioned within the parking/loading area and has permission to park there. Data is received by the vehicle from a kerb-side transmitter and onward-transmitted to determine whether it is positioned in the parking exception. The locations of the parking/loading area and vehicle (24, 22, Fig.2) may be indicated to the vehicle (20, Fig.2), including determining whether the vehicle is positioned within the parking/loading area based on a signal received from a kerb-side transmitter when the vehicle is near the parking/loading area. The parking exception may be a loading bay or a parking exemption for disabled drivers or blue badge holders. It is not necessarily marked on the road, thereby reducing the likelihood of other motorists from stopping there.

Title: Forward progress mechanism for stores in the presence of load contention in a system favoring loads
Inventor: WILLIAMS DEREK EDWARD
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2013-01-23
Abstract: A multiprocessor data processing system includes a plurality of cache memories including a cache memory. In response to the cache memory detecting a storage-modifying operation specifying a same target address as that of a first read-type operation being processed by the cache memory, the cachememory provides a retry response to the storage-modifying operation. In response to completion of the read-type operation, the cache memory enters a referee mode. While in the referee mode, the cache memory temporarily dynamically increases priority of any storage-modifying operation targeting the target address in relation to any second read-type operation targeting the target address.

Title: Determination of the effective fuel-air ratio of a supercharged internal combustion engine with scavenging air component
Inventor: HORST STEFAN
IPC: F02D41/24
Filed: 2014-10-15
Abstract: The invention relates to the adjustment of the cylinder 21, 22, 23, 24 air/ fuel ratio for the optimisation of combustion in an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. It involves measurement of a crank angle on a crankshaft 3 to determine the point in the combustion cycle at which to take or select scanned lambda probe 8 measurements of the combustion products. These are combined with global lambda values in a computer model such as an exhaust gas pressure or exhaust gas back pressure model to calculate an effective combustion lambda. The crank angle detection may take place or be selected when no scavenging air flow is visible in the exhaust gas flow. The scavenging air flow may also be calculated. The effective combustion lambda may be compared to a set point value and a correction value calculated when a deviation occurs. The scanned lambda probe signal may be filtered and statistically evaluated. The computer may send signals to a control unit to adjust the cylinder air-gas mixture. Lambda probe 8 measurements may be taken for each cylinder 21, 22, 23, 24 and an effective combustion lambda may be calculated for each individual cylinder.

IPC: H04W84/02
Filed: 2015-05-07
Abstract: An 802.11ac/ax wireless network provides an operating band made of a plurality of sub-channels. A control frame sent on a primary channel by an 802.11ac/ax node is duplicated on each secondary channel. The duplicated frames on the secondary channels are not decoded by the 802.11ac/ax nodes. A need exists to improve detection of collision with the duplicated frames on the secondary channels. A node senses, using Clear Channel Assessment CCA for each sub-channel of the plurality, a change of an idle/busy status of the channel, and stores, in memory, a CCA time profile for each channel; receives a control frame over the primary channel; determine secondary channels whose CCA profiles (regarding the received control frame) match the primary CCA profile. The node may then forms a composite channel made of the primary channel and possibly one or more matching secondary channels, for wireless communication. An embodiment relates to use within a CSMA/CA system to detect multiple Request To Send RTS messages across multiple sub-channels to determine available sub-channels of a composite channel.
