Patent GB-2483986-A (GB)
Title: Using adaptive beamforming in a transmitter (or receiver) to reduce the impact of a non-trustworthy receiver (or transmitter)
Inventor: STUEBING HAGEN
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2011-09-19
Abstract: A first embodiment of the invention concerns a transmitting device 19 which ascertains whether a receiving device 66 which is situated within an emission region (4, 4   ) of the transmitting device is trustworthy. If it is determined that receiving device 66 is non-trustworthy (e.g. that it is an eavesdropper) then the transmitting device adapts the field strength of transmissions in the direction of the non-trustworthy device 66, by reducing transmission power in that direction so that the emission region shrinks 9. In a second embodiment a receiving device (19, Fig 9) determines whether a transmitting device (85, Fig 9) is trustworthy. If it is determined to be non-trustworthy, e.g. if it is determined to be transmitting incorrectly due to a defect, the receiver reduces its sensitivity to transmissions from the non-trustworthy transmitting device. Assessment of trustworthiness may be made on the basis of digital signatures or certificates, or using mobility information. The present invention finds particular application in C2X systems, i.e. car-to-car communication or car-to-infrastructure communication systems.

Title: Resource management plan creation device and resource management plan creation method
Inventor: TOMIYAMA TOMOE
IPC: G06Q50/30
Filed: 2011-12-05
Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to support creation of a resource management plan which takes into consideration maintenance and management of resources. This resource management plan creation support device reads in a travel schedule, represents, as one node, each path from an originating location to a terminating location of each leg included in a travel schedule that has been read in, and creates a network model by connecting together, using links, the legs over which consecutive travel is possible based upon the place and time. In addition, nodes representing auxiliary resources are added to the created network, and the network model is updated by adding links representing temporary usage of the auxiliary resources or temporary cessation of use of business-use resources. Also, by finding a path group encompassing each node of the network model so as to satisfy a pre-supplied condition (the condition of allocating resources to all of the legs), a management plan for resources which execute transport services is created.

Title: Detection range monitoring
Inventor: WILLS MARTYN
IPC: G01S13/87
Filed: 2013-09-18
Abstract: Mode S radar transponders can have responses to all call interrogations from an interrogator (radar) with a specific interrogator code (IC) disabled for a time (lockout). If the target carrying the transponder moves within range of a further radar having the same IC, it will not respond to the further radar immediately. This conflict between identifying codes for aircraft tracking interrogators having overlapping ranges of detection results in a reduction in the range of detection of the second interrogator for inbound targets. To detect such code conflicts, the maximum detection ranges of inbound and outbound (approaching and receding) targets (I.e. those moving in different directions) is determined and compared; if they are different then code conflict is assumed. Targets may be sorted by azimuth and filtered by height (altitude), rate of climb or descent, rate of turn and range.
