摘要:
In a communication network including a plurality of base stations, a method including the steps of: sending a signal from said base station indicating that it will enter a period of inactivity, to at least one other base station; storing at that least one current parameter(s) relating to interference between base stations and/or updating said parameter(s) for forward use. The parameter(s) may relate to interference between first base station and at least one operationally neighbouring base station and may be Background Interference Matrix (BIM) data.

Uplink interference coupling is estimated between a first cell and a second cell by adjusting downlink interference coupling between the cells at least according to user equipment UE transmit power per physical resource block PRB. This estimated uplink interference coupling is used to decide whether to take a component carrier into use in the first cell. In various embodiments: the uplink interference coupling is estimated by adjusting the downlink interference coupling according to transmit power per PRB of a first UE in the first cell and transmit power per PRB of a second UE in the second cell; and by further adjusting the downlink interference coupling according to path losses of the first and second UEs; and the transmit power per PRB as well as the path loss of the second UE is determined from signaling received in the first cell from the second UE operating in the second cell.

A user enters data about a resource into a computer using a method wherein the user selects a data field in which the data is to be entered. In response to that selection, the computer reviews previously stored records related to the resource to find instances of data contained in the data field. Those instances then are displayed to the user, who selects of one of the instances as a value to be entered into the data field. Thus the user is provided with a list of previous values that are contained in the selected data field for the resource, which list facilitates locating and entering information in new records for this resource.

An acuity level is assigned to each inpatient at a medical facility and an employee scheduling program uses the patient acuity levels to calculate the number of employees that are required to provide care to the patients. A profile is compiled for each employee specifying that person's patient care capability. The calculated number of employees and the employee profiles are used to schedule employees during the work shifts at the medical facility. At various points in time, the actual amount of time an each employee has worked and the amount of time each employee is scheduled to work in the future are utilized to project whether an employee will work overtime. A supervisor is alerted to projected overtime and may reschedule employees to avoid incurring overtime.
摘要:
Method for the treatment or diagnosis of pathologies either expressed in injured or pathological multiple sites in tissues or in the body or expressed in injured or pathological sites of tissues or cells in sites of the body, which are difficult to access, with said sites or areas in immediate proximity to said sites being the source of the release of chemotactic factors for endogenous macrophages, either spontaneously or upon suitable stimulation, wherein said treatment is carried out by administration to the body of an appropriate amount of exogenous monocyte derived cells, said monocyte derived cells being, in the case of treatment, loaded with corrective agents with respect to the pathologies to be treated, and with said monocyte derived cells having the properties of mobilisation towards the source of the above-said released chemotactic factors and in target the cells present in the vicinity of the said released chemotactic factors, and in the case of diagnosis, loaded with a marker enabling the detection of injured or pathological sites.

Apparatus and method are provided for producing a package having a plurality of product-filled cells. The apparatus comprised a mechanism for producing a plurality of individual product-filled cells and for delivering the cells properly orientated. The apparatus further comprises a spraying mechanism for applying adhesive to the side of at least one of the individual cells and a mechanism for bringing the cells together into side-by-side contact with the adhesive-coated surface therebetween so as to bond the cells together to make a package. With certain adhesives, the cells can be removably attached together such that the package is severable into individual cells merely by pulling the cells apart along the bond. The method comprised the steps of producing the product-filled cells and applying adhesive to at least one of the cells. The method further comprises the steps of delivering the cells to guides and urging the cells along the guides until the cells are in side-by-side contact with the adhesive-coated surface therebetween, and then transferring the contacting cells to a holding station where the cells are held in side-by-side contacting relationship until the adhesive bonding of the cells has set.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for opening folded box blanks so that the opened blank can be filled. Apparatus of one embodiment of the invention comprises a substantially cylindrical cam having an axially and radially progressing spiral cam surface and a plurality of elongated transport screws for supplying, one at a time, folded box blanks to one end of the cam. The blank is opened upon rotation of the cam.
摘要:
A positioning jig for locating drill holes or other targets in a workpiece on which the positioning jig is positioned. The positioning jig includes a pinion body and a pair of arms extending from the pinion body. The pair of arms are engaged with a pinion in the pinion body to provide a rack and pinion mechanism for centering the positioning jig on a workpiece. A jig body including at least one aperture is connected with the pinion body. The jig body may be translated with respect to the pinion body for locating the at least one aperture at a target point on the workpiece for drilling a hole or marking the workpiece.
摘要:
Image processing transforms input multi-level image data into output image data having a smaller number of levels (the input and output image data represents images formed of cells). The image processing distributes quantization error of a target cell of the image to neighbour cells in proportions determined by a set of weights. The distribution excludes neighbour cells whose data level is less than a threshold value from receiving distributed quantization error, or allows just a fraction of the quantization error to be distributed to such neighbour cells.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program for allocating resources in a communication system. An access node sends a request for shared resources to one or more neighboring access nodes which have a strong interference bond with the access node. The neighboring access nodes send a response identifying the nature of their use of the shared resources. The access node then determines a new allocation of the shared resources based on the responses. This new allocation is then signalled to the neighboring access nodes.
