| 20100080192 | CELL TIMING ACQUISITION IN A W-CDMA HARD HANDOVER - Cell timing is detected by first trying to detect a target handover cell through detecting a primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) followed by a common pilot channel (CPICH). If that fails, N number of retrials is performed using a full-window search on the CPICH. The full-window CPICH search is performed blindly, without any slot timing information from the P-SCH. Performance is improved while maintaining the benefits of faster acquisition methods in good channel conditions. The full-window search is more time consuming, but takes advantage of the stronger CPICH transmission. In good channel conditions, a mobile device can proceed quickly with the normal method of timing acquisition. With failure, the mobile device can switch to the longer search which has a higher probability of successfully completing the hard handover procedure. The overall effect is a higher success rate of hard handovers without a uniform increase of time spent in cell timing acquisition. | 04-01-2010 |

The motor further includes a short cylinder rotor, which may have a lens inside for certain optical applications, or it may include other elements. The rotor is attached to the stator at the threaded surface of the protrusions and is driven to produce a circular motion, which may also be translated into a linear motion by the threaded surface through standing wave deformation at protrusions. Reverse motion of the rotor can be realized by applying the alternating voltage to another group of electrodes of the stator. | 10-09-2008 |
