IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2013-11-11
Abstract: Determining the operational parameters of a Long Term Evolution, LTE, communication system includes a Radio Equipment Control, REC 54 and a Radio Equipment, RE 53 that communicate with one another over a data link 55 utilizing Common Public Radio Interface, CPRI, frames that are translated into LTE frames by the RE is disclosed. The method includes synchronizing the data processing system with the CPRI frames. The computer then determines a plurality of CPRI frame characteristics from the CPRI frames by examining a plurality of predetermined locations in the CPRI frames. The CPRI frame characteristics, a CPRI frame, and a model of the LTE communication system, are used to generate a first LTE frame that would be generated by that CPRI frame if the model accurately described the LTE communication system. The first LTE frame is then tested to determine if it is consistent with the model. The process is repeated until a consistent model is found. Monitoring is implemented by inserting an IQ Interceptor module, IQM 57, into the digital link 55 between the REC module 54 and the RE module 53 using a passive splitter 56. The REC module and RE module exchange data in the form of digital in-phase and quadrature (IQ) base-band data.

Title: Solectron field effect transistor and inverter
Inventor: Manuel Garcia Velarde
IPC: H03K19/00
Filed: 2014-12-09
Abstract: A solectron field effect transistor (SFET) is described in which the current carrier is a solectron, a coherent particle formed from a lattice distortion and an extra electron or hole, which travels at a constant velocity, independent of applied field, around the sound velocity. The SFET can work with a sub nanosecond response time. Compared to the silicon FET, the SFET can work at lower current and at smaller supply voltages, and has a smaller output impedance, and a smaller input capacity. An inverter (Fig. 5) is described, made from two SFETs which can work with a sub nanosecond response time. Compared to an inverter made from two silicon FETs, the SFET inverter can work at lower supply voltage, lower current, and at lower switching energy. The SFET can reduce the energy consumption of computation, and of electronic communication devices.

Abstract: The tool 100 includes a ratchet gear 108 disposed in an aperture 118 in a first drive end 104 and a receiving portion 176 adapted to engage and provide torque to a work piece such as a fastener. A first cavity 140 in the first drive end is in communication with the aperture. First and second pawls 120, 122 are disposed in the first cavity, each pawl having teeth 146, 148 adapted to cooperatively engage with the ratchet gear. A second cavity 142 in the first drive end is in communication with the first cavity. The second cavity has a depth less than the first cavity. A reversing disc 124 is disposed in the second cavity and is adapted to selectively engage one of the pawls with the ratchet gear, causing the receiving portion to provide torque to the work piece in one of two rotational directions. By orienting the pawls to allow the second cavity to have a minimum depth, the head of the wrench can be stiffened, thereby increasing fatigue strength and rigidity of the wrench.
