Title: Load management for mobility management entity of a cellular communication system
Inventor: LOPES LUIS
IPC: H04W28/08
Filed: 2008-06-18
Abstract: A cellular communication system comprises a Mobile Management entity, MME, (117) and base stations (101-107) coupled to the MME (117). A load characteristic processor (203) determines an MME load characteristic for the MME (117) for each base station (101-107) in response to a measured operating characteristic of the base stations (101- 107). A selection processor (207) selects a subset of base stations (101-107) in response to the MME load characteristics and a load monitor (205) determines a load level measure for the MME (117). A transmit controller (209) then transmits a load reduction indication for the MME (117) to the subset of base stations (101-107) in response to the load level measure for the MME (117) meeting a criterion. The base stations (101-107) receiving the load reduction indication then bias their operation towards a reduced load level of the MME (117). The effect is that base stations which tend to have a high contribution to the load on a MME are biased towards using a different MME. The approach may in particular provide improve MME overload mitigation in a Long Term Evolution cellular system.

Title: In-vehicle camera for recording traffic accidents
Inventor: TURNER LAWRENCE
IPC: B60R11/04
Filed: 2008-12-02
Abstract: Vehicle mounted camera 1 with a decelerometer (3, Figure 3) that detects when the vehicle 5 suddenly decelerates above a threshold value and captures images with the camera lens, that faces outwardly of the vehicle, over a pre-determined period of time and stores them indefinitely on an image storage means. The device 1 is used to record the events leading up to a car crash so that cause of the accident and people responsible can be identified. The camera 1 may operate in a standby mode in which it captures no images until it is activated by the sudden deceleration or it may operate in a loop mode where it captures a continuous sequences of images, but only stores the images for a predetermined time period, until it is activated by the sudden deceleration when the images are stored indefinitely. The device 1 may be powered by an internal battery which may be recharged by integral solar panels. A suction cup may attach the camera 1 to the inside of the windscreen or window of the vehicle 5. A manual mode may allow the user to capture additional images. The camera 1 may be a digital camera and a digital connection means may allow images to be transferred to a computer.

Title: Determining the type of an optical fibre from measured delay-time differences between pulse signals of different wavelengths
Inventor: IZUMI FUTOSHI
IPC: H04B10/07
Filed: 2009-01-05
Abstract: Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical communication apparatus is operated in a monitoring mode to determine the type of optical fiber used in the system. The invention applies to WDM systems which contain a source of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) light such as an Erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA)3. When in the monitoring mode, the output from the ASE source 3 of a transmitting unit 100-1 is switched 103 through a filter 104 so that two or more discrete wavelengths from the wavelength band normally used for transmission of data are transmitted to a receiver (Fig. 8) across a fibre. The same pulse is simultaneously transmitted on each of the two or more wavelengths. The receiver measures the difference between pulse reception times, T(the "delay-time difference). The transmitting unit also transmits a control signal OSC and measures the round-trip time for this signal, Tosc. The ratio T/Tosccan be used to determine the fibre type because the ratio is related to the dispersion per unit length of the fibre.

Abstract: 1405622 Rolling mills DAVY-LOEWY Ltd 22 Feb 1973 [6 March 1972] 10285/72 Heading B3M A roll change assembly for a four-high mill stand includes a beam 32 which is longitudinally movable towards and away from the stand and which can be coupled to either the work or back-up rolls to remove them from the stand. A trolley is also provided for removing the piston-cylinder assemblies 13 positioned beneath the lower back-up roll 14 for adjustment of the roll gap. To remove the work rolls 25, the assemblies 13 lower the rolls 14 and 25 until the work roll chocks are supported on rails 29. Roller assemblies 27 having recirculating rollers serve to support the chocks. A hook 42 carried at the end of the beam 32 is pivoted by an actuator 44 until it engages a hook 43 on a lower work roll chock, and the beam is moved to the left to withdraw the rolls from the stand. A lifting beam 60 removes the rolls and can replace them with new set, if desired.  If one or both back-up rolls are to be changed, to further hook 40 on the beam 32 is caused to engage a wheeled sled 16 beneath the lower roll 14. After the roll has been suitably lowered, the wheels of the sleds engage further rails 18  (beneath the rails 29) and the beam can withdraw the roll or rolls from the stand as before. The beam 32 is moved by a rack and pinion drive 37 and is supported by wings 33, Fig. 3, within a pit 20. The hook 42 extends between a gap in removable floor plates 30. To remove the piston-cylinder assemblies 13, a trolley 50, Fig. 4, is placed on the further rails 18 (after removal of the lower back-up roll) and is moved above one such assembly 13. Vertically movable rods 56, which are moved in unison by motor-driven screw jacks, are coupled to the assembly and then raised. The trolley is then shifted along the rails by the beam 32 until the assembly can be positioned in the dotted-line position of Fig. 1. The other assembly is moved in a similar manner, the beam 60 being used to change the assemblies for new ones.

Title: Process for the production of organic phosphines
IPC: C07F9/50
Filed: 1950-04-26
Abstract: Organic phosphines are made by reacting derivatives of trivalent phosphorus containing a pH group with an organic compound containing at least one aliphatic carbon-to-carbon multiple bond in the presence of free radicles.  Many compounds are specified, the following being representative of the classes listed: 2-butene, cyclohexene, allyl alcohol, allyl chloride, 3-sulpholene, methyl acrylate, methyl vinyl ether, styrene, butadiene, methallyl mercaptan, methacrylonitrile, diallyl sulphide, 3 - butenyl - phosphine, dimethallylamine and methyl vinyl ketone.  Mono-olefinic compounds, particularly alkenes, are preferred.  Phosphorus compounds listed include phosphine halides <FORM:0673451/IV (b)/1> where X is halogen and Y halogen, hydrogen or an organic radicle attached to P via a C-atom, phosphine salts <FORM:0673451/IV (b)/2> where M is a metal atom and R is hydrogen, halogen or an organic radicle attached to P via a C-atom and compounds of formula <FORM:0673451/IV (b)/3> where R is hydrogen or an organic radicle attached to P via a C-atom, many of the last being specified including phosphine and ethyl-, dibutyl-, cyclohexyl-, 3-chloropropyl-, bis-(2-methyl-3-aminopropyl)-, phenyl-, 3-butenyl-, bis-(3-hydroxypropyl)-, 3-allyloxy-, 3-amylmercaptopropyl-, 3-carbomethoxypropyl-, eicosyl- and 3 - acetylpropyl - phosphine. Preferably saturated phosphines are used.  Unsaturated hydrocarbon substituted phosphines may act as the above unsaturated reactant resulting in polymeric phosphine derivatives.  Preferably reactive compounds do not have more than about 20 carbon atoms.  The free radicles may be produced by thermally or photo-chemically dissociating a solvent or other compound added for this purpose, e.g. N-chloramides, organometallic compounds, peroxides or carbonyl compounds such as acetone.  Peroxides, Peroxides, especially tert.-alkyl peroxides, are particularly suitable. Amounts of about 1 to 10.0 mol. per cent of initiator are specified.  Liquid or vapour phase reaction may occur and inert solvents, many of which are specified may be present.  Mixtures of the primary, secondary and tertiary phosphines obtained may be separated by fractionation.  In examples the multiple-bond reactants are: 1-butene, 1-octene, 2-butene, isobutene, cyclohexene, allyl alcohol, allyl amine, allyl chloride, methyl vinyl sulphide, styrene, dibutyl 2-propene-phosphonate, methyl vinyl ketone, methyl acrylate, allyl acetate and methyl vinyl ether and they are all reacted with phosphine in the presence of such initiators as di-tertiary-butyl peroxide, ultra-violet light and acetone at temperatures varying from 20 DEG  to 122 DEG  C. to give the desired substituted phosphines usually obtained as a mixture separable by fractionation.  In some cases the products are oxidized with nitric acid to yield phosphoric and phosphinic acids and phosphine oxides.
