Title: Intelligent optimisation system and method of optimising communication performance in a cellular telecommunications network
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2000-12-15
Abstract: A cellular radio system (10, FIG. 1) operates to acquire radio network optimisation for a GSM environment through the utilisation of a dual-technology subscriber unit (36) configured to swap between a UMTS air-interface mode and a slotted GSM-type mode. In the GSM mode, system performance data, i.e. measurements metrics (306), such as RX_Lev and BER, are accumulated for a serving cell and BA list neighbours (12-18) and this GSM system performance data is communicated (214) to a serving OMC (38) through a BSS and MSC (32, 34). Contemporaneously with the acquisition of GSM performance data, a UMTS call (50-54) to serving Node Bs operating in soft handover allows a serving MSC (34) or OMC (38) to identify (302-304) accurately the location of the subscriber unit (36) through a triangulation process. A time reference derived from soft handover of a high bit rate data sequence allows multi-path resolution in the UMTS domain, with an absolute propagation path therefore derivable from the time reference. Correlation (308), at an OMC level, of an identity of the subscriber unit (36) associates the subscriber location with the GSM system performance data, thereby allowing a processor (40) in the OMC (38) to assess accurately GSM system performance with a view to initiating, as required, radio network optimisation of the GSM system. The need for costly drive testing of a GSM-type system is therefore obviated, thereby advantageously allowing radio network reconfiguration at either the will of the service operator or dynamically. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-0121082-D0 (GB)
Title: Method of operating a radio station and radio system
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2001-08-31
Abstract: A radio system ( 10 ) and radio system ( 1, 2 ) in which the value of parameters for a model of a received multipath signal transmitted by a remote station ( 20 ) are estimated. A sounding signal transmitted and received by the radio station is used to derive data about the reflecting environment and this data is incorporated into the model after scaling it to represent the multipath signal received from a remote station. Optionally or alternatively the remote station may transmit a sounding signal and derive data about its reflecting environment and transmit this data to the radio station, The model may incorporate both sets of derived data, particularly if they are uncorrelated. The values of the resulting parameters are exploited in applications such as ranging, location or equalization.

Title: Device mounting
IPC: H01S5/024
Filed: 1988-03-31
Abstract: A technique for assembling semiconductor devices in which semiconductor elements, especially lasers or LEDS, are mounted on a first packaging element such as a heat spreader that is mounted on a second packaging element such as a heat sink. Handling of solder preforms is avoided by coating at least one of each of the pairs of surfaces to be brought into contact with a layer of solder and heating the assembly to melt both solder layers in a single operation. In a preferred embodiment a heat spreader is coated in solder on both sides and interposed between a semiconductor element and a heat sink and the assembly is heated. Molybdenum may be used as a layer to aid wetting and adhesion and gold/tin solder may be used. Slightly different solidification temperatures and compositions for the layers may result from different take up of metallisation layers from the components into the solder.

Patent GB-9021987-D0 (GB)
Title: Gas fire
IPC: F24C3/10
Filed: 1990-10-10
Abstract: In a gas fire, the radiant heat output from imitation coal pieces 2 caused to radiate by flames from a burner 1 is supplemented by convective air drawn into the base of the fire and passing through duct 6 before emerging through outlets 7, the duct being transversed by flue tubes 8, 9, 10, 11 to which combustion gases from the burner pass in the direction of the arrows B. A problem with such a fire is if the flue outlet 12 become blocked because the flow of gases reverses direction relative to the arrows B and the burner then combusts within unsafe limits if the doors 4, 5 are closed. To overcome this some of the flue tubes 8, 10 are provided with openings 10a, partially shielded by shield 22, to allow escape of recirculating combustion products into the convection duct, thereby allowing the burner to continue operation in safe limits in the event of flue blockage. <IMAGE>
