Patent number: 9025568Abstract: A downlink orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) code assignment method is provided. It is determined whether a spreading factor required by a service request is greater than a remaining capacity of assignable spreading factors of a code tree. If not, the code tree is searched from a root until a node of a layer corresponding to the required spreading factor is reached and thus defined as a first node. During the searching, when a searched node is unassigned, the searching continues leftward in a lower layer; and when the searched node is in an assigned state, the searching continues rightward in a same layer of the searched node. It is determined, from the first node, whether any assignable code is available in the layer corresponding to the required spreading factor. If available, an assignable code is assigned to a communication service corresponding to the service request.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Sernet (Suzhou) Technologies CorporationInventors: Ling Zhu, Ning Tao

Patent number: 9016942Abstract: Disclosed in the present embodiments are a foldable pressing device and an X-ray machine. The foldable pressing device includes a motor, a lifting member, a pressing member, a linear guide member with a stop position, a pulling member and a resilient member. The lifting member, driven by the motor, causes a sliding element in the linear guide member with a stop position and the pressing member to move upwards. When the sliding element arrives at an uprising stop position, the pressing member, under the effect of the lifting member and the pulling member, overcomes the resistance of the resilient member to realize the folding thereof. The lifting member, driven by the motor, drives the pressing member to move downwards, and the pressing member is unfolded under the effect of the resilient member.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Can Guo, Guo Jun Han, Wen Ting Rui, Yun Ping Wang, Ning Tao Yang
