Title: Mobile terminal makes inter radio access technology decisions to indicate that an earlier generation technology is no longer supported
Inventor: MOLLOY STEPHEN
IPC: H04W48/16
Filed: 2012-05-15
Abstract: A mobile terminal capable of accessing a wireless network using an earlier (i.e. 2G) and a later (i.e. 3G and LTE) generation radio access technology (RAT) to establish a voice channel and packet data channel. The mobile terminal is configured to monitor a condition for disabling the earlier generation access, the condition being other than coverage under the earlier generation technology falling below an acceptable lower level. The condition for disabling access may relate to activity on the packet data channel 206, good coverage of the later generation RAT 204 or inactivity on the voice channel 208. The mobile terminal makes inter-RAT decisions dynamically by updating registration with the network to indicate that the earlier generation technology is no longer supported thereby preventing the mobile terminal being subject to decisions from the network that would otherwise impose transfer to the earlier generation. Thus, at least some of the decisions made from the mobile terminal disable the earlier generation access whilst in presence of at least the lower level of coverage under the earlier generation.

Title: Control of a diesel engines exhaust condition to improve catalytic convertor efficiency
Inventor: BAYRAM PETER JOHN
IPC: F01N3/10
Filed: 2012-05-22
Abstract: Means for controlling the condition, such as heat and pressure, of exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine in the exhaust system of an engine are disclosed. The means comprises at least one adiabatic engine, which may be either a turbine 6 or rotary Wankel engine, located in the exhaust system, means for varying the speed of the adiabatic engine, means for bypassing the adiabatic engine, bypass valve 7 and means for controlling the means for varying the speed and the bypassing means based on the output of sensors which detect parameters that are indicative of the exhaust gas condition. The arrangement controls the back pressure and hence heat in the exhaust system between the adiabatic engine and the internal combustion engine. A catalytic convertor is located in the exhaust tract downstream of the engine and upstream of the adiabatic engine and the arrangement can therefore be used to effectively control the temperature of the exhaust gas reaching the catalytic convertor so that the catalytic convertor can be maintained at an optimal operating temperature
