Title: Method and apparatus for extending the coverage for positioning capability for a mobile receiver
Inventor: BRESHEARS BRIAN R
IPC: G01S5/14
Filed: 2011-07-22
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for providing location information to a mobile receiver from a plurality of aerial vehicles is provided. The method includes receiving a source location from at least three location sources at each aerial vehicle of the plurality of aerial vehicles. The at least three location sources includes a remote aerial vehicle. A predicted location of the aerial vehicle at a future time is calculated at each aerial vehicle based at least in part on a current time at the aerial vehicle, the received source locations, and ephemeris data that represents motion of each remote aerial vehicle. The predicted location is transmitted at the future time at each aerial vehicle. The transmitted locations from the aerial vehicles are used by a mobile receiver to determine a current location of the mobile receiver.

Title: Receiver-based ghost filter generation
Inventor: WANG PING
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2013-04-19
Abstract: Methods and systems for optimized receiver-based ghost filter generation are described. The method involves generating mirror data from recorded data during a premigration stage, transforming the recorded and mirror data from a time-space domain to a frequency-space domain, adding a phase coefficient for correcting time differences between mirror and recorded data, generating a ghost filter by jointly inverting the transformed recorded and mirror data using a least squares technique, iterating through the transformed recorded data and minimising a ghost delay time based on a difference between sequential ghost filters in the iterative process.

Title: Associating expert speakers with conversation segments
Inventor: JOHN AJITA
IPC: G06F40/20
Filed: 2013-06-20
Abstract: A speech analysis system associates speakers with respective segments (fig. 4) of an audio conversation and ranks the speaker as an expert based on the number of times their segments are associated with a term or topic via keyword tags (408) and whether this exceeds a threshold. The level of expertise may be based on an expertise vector (fig. 6) such as communication length or how recently the topic has been referenced. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR 202), Spoken Language Understanding (SLU 204) and Dialog Management (DM 206) modules convert the speech to text, provide tags or indexes for the speech and interpret the texts meaning, and then Spoken Language Generation (SLG 208) and synthesising (210) modules respond with audible speech. Speaker identity tags may be provided via a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory.

Title: Text/voice pager having functions of automatically identifying and detecting message reception state and current signal strength thereof and immediately
Inventor: YEH SHIN-TSENG
IPC: H04W84/02
Filed: 2013-11-14
Abstract: A text/voice pager is able to identify and detect a message reception state and a current signal strength state and informing a console of the detecting result with an acknowledgement (Ack) message via a GSM system (using SMS, for example). Each pager from a pager group can also detect whether a received message is complete and of sufficient resolution, and transmitting an appropriate Ack message to the console based. If the console receives an Ack message from a pager indicating incomplete message reception, the console can retransmit the message to the pager via the GSM system or a GPRS system. The pager also detects a signal strength so as to automatically transmit an Ack message if out of a communication range or in an area of low signal strength, and if so to retransmit or forward messages via the GSM/GPRS system until the pager is back in range.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: VIVEK SHARMA
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2015-08-14
Abstract: A communications system is described in which a base station controls interworking between a cell of the base station operating according to a first radio access technology (e.g. a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network) and cells of access points operating according to a second radio access technology (e.g. a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)). The base station transmits control plane data to a mobile device in its cell, wherein the control plane data facilitates user plane communication by the mobile device, via a first access point. When the user plane communication has been handed over from the first access point to a second access point, the base station receives information identifying the second access point. Beneficially, the base station uses the received information for controlling the interworking and/or controlling a handover for the mobile device. This reduces likelihood of the user plane communication being lost during the handover process.

Title: Mechanical anti-lock brake system
Inventor: PETER EVANS
IPC: B60T8/54
Filed: 2016-02-06
Abstract: An anti-lock braking system with a rotating crenulated disc 6 having a cylinder shaped bearing 14 sitting on top, which upon actuation causes a pulsating motion in the standard braking mechanism, alternating on and off brake pressure at up to 20 times per second. This will prevent skidding especially under emergency braking, or braking in wet conditions. The anti-lock brake system is actuated when a vehicle user activates the brake lever or pedal, causing the retraction of the brake cable 1, 4, forcing the bearing against the crenulated disc. The bearing is on a small arm 12 and has an axle that moves within the arm. This allows the bearing to travel up and down over the teeth or notches 7 in the rotating disc. The brake system is preferably for use in a bicycle but may be used in vehicles such as cars or motorbike. It can be used on either disc, calliper, or drum brakes 8.
