Title: Method and apparatus for supporting positioning for terminals in a wireless network
Inventor: EDGE STEPHEN
IPC: G01S19/12
Filed: 2010-04-21
Abstract: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING POSITIONING FOR TERMINALS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK Techniques for supporting positioning for terminals in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, positioning may be supported by a location server that can reside in different entities. In one design, the location server may obtain positioning information (e.g., measurements) for a target device via a common positioning protocol. The location server may use the common positioning protocol regardless of where it resides and may communicate with other entities via this protocol. The location server may determine location information (e.g., a location estimate) for the target device based on the positioning information. In another aspect, positioning may be supported by transporting multiple positioning messages together. In yet another aspect, positioning may be supported by transporting a positioning message containing multiple parts defined by different organizations. In yet another aspect, positioning may be supported with shared measurement data units and/or shared assistance data units that may be applicable for different positioning methods. Figure 1

Title: Authentication method and blockchain-based authentication data processing method and device
Inventor: LI KEJIA
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2018-06-14
Abstract: The present application discloses an authentication method and a blockchain-based authentication data processing method and device. After an authentication request sent from a user is received, authentication data associated with an identity identifier is acquired from 5 a blockchain network, and identity authentication is performed on the user according to the authentication data. Based on the features such as decentralization and anti-tampering of the blockchain network, a mapping relationship between identity identifiers of different users and authentication data is stored in advance in a blockchain node of the blockchain network. When providing a service for a user, an Internet service platform can perform 10 identity authentication on the user based on the authentication data stored in the blockchain network, thus improving the processing efficiency of identity authentication. As the authentication data can be shared among different Internet service platforms by means of the blockchain network, the user does not need to submit identity information when registering with or logging in to a new service platform each time, and the misuse of the 15 identity information by an imposter due to leakage of the identity information can be effectively prevented, thus effectively improving the accuracy of identity authentication.

Title: Apparatus for joint determination of the electrical media impedance and contact-zone impedance of electrolytically conductive systems
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 1988-02-05
Granted: 1990-11-26
Abstract: For the measurement of the (complex) electrical impedance ZS of electrolytically conductive systems, for example the human body, the measurement result obtained is not just ZS on its own, but a finite impedance ZK is added to this, which may result from the impedance of the electrode itself and from a high-impedance encasing layer of the system (for example the human skin). The measurement result thus comprises the total impedance Z=ZS+ZK. According to the invention, a joint determination of ZS and ZK is achieved in that segment electrodes 2, 3 are used, whose active areas consist of in each case two segments 7, 8 which are insulated from one another but are closely adjacent and are of the same size, and two values of the total impedance are measured: the impedance Z1 with only one segment, followed by the impedance Z2, with the two segments connected electrically via switches. Since ZS is of the same magnitude in the second measurement as in the first, while ZK (if the segment areas match) is, in contrast, only half as great, ZS and ZK can be determined easily by calculation from Z1 and Z2 using the formulae ZS = 2 Z2 - Z1 and ZK = Z1 - Z2. <IMAGE>

Patent CH-624542-B (CH)
Inventor: PORTMANN HUBERT
IPC: G04G5/04
Filed: 1979-04-17
Abstract: A multistage counter 3, 5, 7, 10 normally counts seconds pulses from a frequency divider 2. Counters 5 and 7 are units and tens minutes counters and are set by shifting a counter 21 by button B to provide a "1" on output 21d. When a button A is then held down the seconds pulses pass through gates 17 and 22 and count the units counter 5 up to the numeral 0. A flip-flop 19, 26 is then set to disable gate 22 and enable gate 23 so that the units counter stays at the numeral 0 and the tens counter advances to the desired value, when button A is released, which resets the flip-flop. Button A is pressed again to count the units counter from the numeral 0 to the desired value. The invention in one embodiment simplifies the setting of a digital watch and reduces the time (number of pulses) needed to preset the units and tens of minutes counters. The invention can be extended to more than two counters and used for counters other than in clocks and watches.
