Abstract:
The present invention relates to radio base station and to a related method for supporting positioning. The method includes measuring a relative time of arrival of two reference signals, where a first of the two reference signals is transmitted from a first neighboring radio base station. The method also includes transmitting the measured relative time of arrival to a positioning node, connected to the radio base station and the first neighboring radio base station.
Abstract:
New devices, systems and methods are hereby provided that enable a user to open a communication channel by selecting an image on a monitor. A device that includes a monitor and a graphical position user input mechanism is configured to display one or more images on the monitor, to receive a graphical position user input selecting one of the images, and to open a communication channel directed to a contact information element associated with the selected image. For example, this may include placing a phone call to a selected recipient, or opening an email, instant messaging, or text message composition panel addressed to a selected recipient, by touching, clicking on, or otherwise selecting an image of the recipient, or an image that is associated with the recipient.
Abstract:
A method (300) of and an equalizer (104-1, 104-2) for equalizing an RF filter (106-1, 106-2) supporting a frequency band by utilizing an antenna calibration path having the RF filter (106-1, 106-2) in a Node B (100) in a TDD system are provided. The method (300) comprises the steps of obtaining (302) an amplitude and phase response of a calibration signal having a frequency in the frequency band, stepwise changing (304) the frequency of the calibration signal, determining (306) a transfer function of the RF filter (106-1, 106-2), and equalizing (308) the RF filter (106-1, 106-2) based on the determined transfer function of the RF filter (106-1, 106-2).
Abstract:
A user may issue commands to a computing device by moving a pointer within a light field. Sensors may capture light reflected from the moving pointer. A virtual touch engine may analyze the reflected light captured as light portions in a sequence of images by the sensors to issue a command to a computing device in response to the movements. Analyzing the sequence of images may include finding the light portions in the sequence of images, determining a size of the light portions, and determining a location of the light portions.
Abstract:
A user interface and techniques for presenting content in a panel-based layout are described. The user interface has one or more demarcation bars to define multiple panels on a screen area. Different subject matter (e.g., data, content, programs, etc.) may be placed in the various panels. A bar navigation element facilitates navigation of the bar(s) among preset positions. With the bar navigation element, a user can intuitively resize the panels using just a single actuation (e.g., a single click of a mouse, or a stylus tap). The panels remain in their original orientation and relative positioning, and remain visible in the user interface so that the user can track their location.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies for efficient inductive charging of electronic devices are provided herein. A charging device as described herein can utilize a sensor-integrated resonating circuit with automatic frequency control to provide low-cost inductive charging functionality for electronic devices. As further described herein, a device to be charged can be equipped with a power receiver operable to receive power from the charging device via electromagnetic induction. The power receiver can additionally be utilized for initiation of charging such that charging for a device commences upon its associated power receiver being brought within range of an inductive charging surface at the charging device. Further, a charging device as described herein can have an inductive charging surface as well as a non-charging surface for providing other services such as information display. A charging device can integrate with an external information source to obtain items to be displayed at a non-charging surface thereon.
Abstract:
An embedded interaction code-enabled display includes: an outer transparency layer, an optional inner transparency layer, an optional infrared-reflection layer between the outer transparency layer and the inner transparency layer, an EIC dot pattern between the outer transparency layer and the infrared-reflection layer, and, optionally, transparency glue between the outer transparency layer and the infrared-reflection layer or the inner transparency layer. The outer transparency layer 1308 and the inner transparency layer may be glass, plastic, or a film. The EIC dot pattern may be printed on, or pressed onto, the inner side of the outer transparency layer. The EIC dot pattern may include an encoded surface identifier that identifies the embedded interaction code-enabled display. The encoded surface identifier may uniquely identify the embedded interaction code-enabled display.
Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the invention, local metadata is embedded into an embedded interactive code document by combining a first m-array and a second m-array to generate a combined m-array with encoded local metadata such that a start position of the second m-array in the combined m-array is shifted, by an amount that is based on the local metadata, relative to a start position of the first m-array in the combined m-array. The first m-array and the second m-array may contain the same repeating bit sequence. Local metadata may be decoded from the embedded interactive code document by decoding the local metadata from the combined m-array by determining the amount by which the second m-array is shifted, relative to the first m-array, in the combined m-array.
Abstract:
A system and method is described for providing an encoding scheme for a bit stream and displaying or printing the encoded bit stream. Using the encoded bit stream, a pen with a camera may capture an image of a portion of the encoded bit stream. The captured image may then be decoded to provide an indication of the location of the image in relation to the encoded bit stream. The encoding scheme includes information regarding orientation, thus making decoding easier.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for increasing the stability of cooling fluid for the engine. This invention selects the most preferred conditions, e.g. the composition of the solution, pH value, means and amount of addition, and proportion of silicate added, so that the products thereof have excellent properties for inhibiting corrosion for many kinds of metals, being with low costs and good storage stability. Moreover, since this method is simple, it is easy to be put into practice and utilized.
