Abstract:
Present ice skates 10 have a relatively great distance between the sole and the surface of the blades 40 for contacting the ice in use. This leads to instability. The present invention provides an ice skate comprising a boot or shoe, a sole and at least one blade 140 integral therewith, wherein the distance between the blade surface, for contact with ice in use, and the underside of the sole is approximately 20 mm or less.
Abstract:
A method for converting a conventional cellular network e.g. having nodes equipped with conventional modems operating in accordance with a cellular communication protocol e.g. LTE and storing first orthogonal sequences, into a private cellular network, including coupling an (e.g. external) device to only nodes sought for the private cellular network, the device storing second orthogonal sequences not hard-coded in the modems, the device storing a one-to-one correspondence enabling translation of each second orthogonal sequence, to one of the first sequences. at least when in a private network supporting mode, a device associated with a transmitting node sought for the private network, uses a processor to determine which first orthogonal sequence is being used, translate that sequence using the one-to-one correspondence into a second orthogonal sequence, and use the translated sequence to transmit a synchronization signal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method of improving interference robustness in a LTE based wireless communication system. At a transmitting side, a MAC layer outputs MAC data units each including a resource mapping assigning said MAC data units to resource blocks of an LTE frame. The method comprises, at the transmitting side, modifying the MAC data units output by the MAC layer to scramble the resource mapping of said MAC data units thereby providing corresponding scrambled MAC data units including a scrambled resource mapping to a PHY layer of the transmitting side, the scrambled resource mapping being obtained by using a carrier permutation retrievable by a receiving side.
