Abstract: A common-mode voltage cancellation (CMVC) circuit, is disclosed. The circuit includes a first set of coupled inductors, each having a primary winding defining a first polarity, and a secondary winding. The secondary windings are electrically coupled in series. Each primary winding receives a phase voltage having a common mode voltage component from a respective input line. The circuit includes a second set of coupled inductors comprising at least one primary winding and at least one secondary winding The at least one primary winding receives a second voltage from the series connected secondary windings of the first set of coupled inductors. Each at least one secondary winding is coupled in series with a respective input line such that the common mode voltage component received on input lines will be reduced at an output of the set of secondary windings.

Abstract: A method for using femtocell as a telephone exchange is provided. The method comprises the following steps. A femtocell registers to a core network via an Internet. The femtocell receives a phone call, and determines whether the phone call comes from the core network or the internal network. If the phone call comes from the core network, then the femtocell automatically answers the call and provides a prompt. The femtocell determines whether an input number of the phone call is an internal extension number. If the input number is the internal extension number, then the femtocell transfers the phone call to a corresponding internal extension.

Abstract: A radio signal transmission method is used in a radio signal transmission system having a core network (CN), at least one base station and at least one user equipment (UE). After the UE initiates a circuit switch (CS) call, the base station determines whether to activate CS off-loading. If to activate CS off-loading, the base station determines whether identification (ID) codes of all call parties reside on the same base station or on the same group of base stations of the system. If yes, the base station determines whether to off-load only the user-plane data. If yes, the CN controls the signaling and the user-plane data is directly forwarded to another call party; otherwise, the base station processes a signaling and the user-plane data is directly forwarded to another call party via the base station.

Abstract: A device for mounting an LED lamp tube is provided. The device includes two mounting base, each of which includes a mounting socket, a rotary member and a connection member. The rotary member is received in a cavity defined in the mounting socket, and is rotatable with respect to the mounting socket, and remains static with respect to the mounting socket when not being rotated. The rotary member defines a pair of mounting holes for insertion of pins of the LED lamp tube thereinto. A first connection portion is formed on one end of the mounting socket. A second connection portion is formed on one end of the connection member, the second connection portion is configured for engaging with the first connection portion, to latchingly connect the connection member to the mounting socket, and retain the rotary member in the cavity of the mounting socket.
