20100317386CELLULAR BASESTATION - A cellular basestation, for example a femtocell basestation, is able to configure its cel reselection parameters, in order to define a desired transition zone, in which cell reselections may take place. Specifically, the basestation detects broadcast cell reselection parameters of at least one neighbouring basestation, and adapts its own broadcast cell reselection parameters in response to the detected broadcast parameters of the neighbouring basestation.12-16-2010

20110197059SECURING OUT-OF-BAND MESSAGES - Securing an out-of-band message from a server to a mobile computing device. After requesting a service ticket from a trusted third party (e.g., via a pre-existing ticketing infrastructure), the requested service ticket and a shared secret are obtained from the trusted third party via a first channel. The mobile computing device thereafter sends the service ticket with the shared secret to a server via a second channel. The server encrypts a message (e.g., an SMS message) using the shared secret. The mobile computing device receives the encrypted message from the server via a third channel that is out-of-band relative to the first channel. The encrypted message is decrypted via the shared secret and the decrypted message is provided to a user of the mobile computing device. In some embodiments, the message includes commands for controlling the mobile computing device.08-11-2011

20110132505METHOD FOR GASSING EXPLOSIVES ESPECIALLY AT LOW TEMPERATURES - The invention provides a method for gassing an explosive to sensitise the explosive and/or modify the density of the explosive. The method comprises reacting at least one oxidiser with at least one nitrogen containing compound in the explosive to generate nitrogen gas. The explosive is formulated to effect diffusion of the oxidiser and/or the compound into contact with each other, the nitrogen gas being generated by oxidation of the compound by the oxidiser. The invention extends to the explosive compositions themselves.06-09-2011

20110128997Tensor-Based Receiver for Separating Component Signals in a Composite Signal - A receiver separates multiple component signals carried in a composite signal that have been spread over time and frequency. Multiple diversity branches receive the composite signal. A tensor generation circuit arranges samples of that signal along time, frequency, and diversity dimensions to obtain a composite signal tensor. A set of cascaded least squares estimators then separates the component signals by fitting a constrained tensor model of the composite signal to the composite signal tensor in an alternating least squares estimation process, alternating during any given iteration of the process between fitting different unfolded representations of the constrained tensor model to corresponding unfolded representations of the composite signal tensor. The tensor model models the composite signal as a linear combination of rank-one tensors associated with the component signals, and is constrained in the sense that each rank-one tensor remains constrained according to the spreading of its associated component signal over time.06-02-2011

20110034579POLYURETHANE FILTERS FOR AIR PURIFICATION - A process for producing polyurethane foam filter material with adsorption capabilities, containing a solid adsorbent, that comprises a one shot process of reacting a polyurethane foam-forming formulation, comprising isocyanates and polyesters or polyethers, catalysts, silicone oils and water, characterized in that particles of the adsorbent material are included directly in the foam-forming formulation, without any surface pretreatment, after cleansing by heating. The resulting filter material can be sliced in plates of various thicknesses according to the intended particular use, and this use can be in air filtering systems, for purification of air or water, ion-exchange, deodorization, drying, prevention of public hazards, or the separation and purification.02-10-2011

20110251849Healthcare System and Method - A healthcare system includes a database having stored thereon patient information data, patient medical data, treatment plans data and healthcare provider data. A treatment module accesses the data stored in the database and uses the data to determine a plurality of patient treatment steps required to implement a treatment plan thereby to treat the patient. A communications module communicates with a healthcare provider system to instruct the healthcare provider to perform a next activity of the patient treatment activity required in the treatment of the patient and a monitoring module monitors that the next activity has been performed. In addition, an awards module determines an award for the healthcare provider or their agent if the healthcare provider or their agent performs the next activity in the treatment of the patient.10-13-2011

20100211316HIGHLY INTEGRATED GPS, GALILEO AND INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM - The navigation system described here utilizes GPS and Galileo satellite signals combined with Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), where a Coupled Antenna (CAN) provides both GNSS and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data to a Highly Integrated GNSS-Inertial (Hi-Gi) receiver. Such receiver makes use of a high fidelity relation between GNSS unprocessed Correlator Output (COUT) I and Q data and the user trajectory, and inertial sensor data, which in turn are combined within a Kalman Filter (KF). The KF determines the navigation solution that is also used to provide feedback to the receiver demodulation signal processing stage, thus eliminating the need of dedicated structures such as Delayed Locked Loops (DLL) and Phase Locked Loops (PLL), allowing a significant improvement in navigation performance. The improvement allows this system to provide high quality measurements and operate in circumstances where usual techniques are not usable; for example during satellite signal interruption due to obstruction, or in very high dynamics or even in attenuated signal environments, due to, for example, the canopy of trees. The KF also makes use of particular Galileo signal characteristics, lock detectors and Coupled Antenna that allow the system to operate in such environments.08-19-2010
