| 20090012745 | NUCLEAR DETECTION VIA A SYSTEM OF WIDELY DISTRIBUTED LOW COST DETECTORS - A radiation detection system includes many receivers to continuously receive radiation emission data from at least some of a sufficient density of dispersed detectors capable of communicating geo-positions and photon emission counts over a network; the data includes gamma intensities, time stamps, and geo-positions. A processor builds digital image data of the received radiation data for a geographic area by treating gamma-ray proton data from each dispersed detector as a pixel in a low-light image. The processor continuously executes a plurality of statistical computational analyses on the digital image data to separate detected radiation signals from random, undesired signal noise, and known signal noise or sources. The statistical computational analyses include match-filter and/or other convolution techniques. An interface reports to a user when the computational analyses result in detection of a radiation signal and reports a location of one or more of the dispersed detectors that contribute to the detection. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20100026554 | ACTIVE PROTECTION METHOD AND SYSTEM - There is provided an active protection system and an active protection method preferably for airborne platforms. According to the embodiment of the invention, the active protection system is mounted onboard a platform for protecting the platform, and comprises a radar system configured for generating output data including threat output data corresponding to a velocity, a range, and an angle of the threat with respect to the platform in an airspace around the platform, the output data being useful for detecting, identifying and tracking of at least one threat approaching the platform; a countermeasure system capable of launching at least one non-fragmentation interceptor projectile in response to receiving a control command; and a control unit configured for receiving the output data from the radar system and for generating the control command and transmitting the control command to the at least one non-fragmentation interceptor projectile, thereby enabling countering the threat. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20090288248 | Bathtub system - A bathtub system includes a tub having a substantially horizontal planar floor and contiguous endwalls and sidewalls extending upwardly from the floor. At least one sidewall has a door opening. A sliding door cooperates with the door opening. The sliding door is operable in a direction which includes a horizontal translation component between oppositely disposed open and closed positions. The door is slid between those positions by a horizontal force applied by a user sitting in the tub urging the sliding door horizontally. The door opening has a sill having an elevation which is both substantially equal to an elevation of the seat of a user's wheelchair and substantially at the same elevation as the floor of the tub so as to not interfere with the user of the tub transferring laterally from the seat of the wheelchair, over the sill, and onto the floor of the tub. | 11-26-2009 |

| 20090170488 | Group Call Management - Embodiments of the present invention relate to the coordination of group calls involving mobile terminals in telecommunications networks. In one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a method of managing a group call involving a plurality of mobile communications devices, said plurality of mobile communications devices being registered with a telecommunications network via a serving node, the serving node being operable to transceive data to and from a plurality of radio access nodes so as to communicate with said registered mobile communications devices, in which at least a first of said radio access nodes has established a data communications channel with a mobile communications device of the plurality for conducting the group call, the method comprising: identifying a radio access node adjacent the first radio access node; defining the Group Call Area on basis of the first and adjacent radio access nodes; and establishing a signalling channel within a cell corresponding to said adjacent radio access node, said signalling channel having an identifier corresponding to the Group Call Area. The radio access nodes, or base stations, that have established a data communications channel with the mobile communications device have traffic and signalling channels established therein and are marked as an active cell of the Group Call Area; according to embodiments of the invention, base stations adjacent the active base station are added to the Group Call Area and signalling channels are established in these adjacent cells. Each signalling channel has an identifier corresponding to the Group Call Area. This method of channel allocation and deallocation provides a solution to the problem in the prior art in which channels have to be created as a mobile station moves into a new cell; by contrast, and because a signalling channel in any potential “next” cell has already been established, it is relatively straightforward to allocate a traffic channel therein. | 07-02-2009 |
