  • Patent number: 6801772
    Abstract: Where a call of one cellular telephone network has a cell of another network as neighbor, a dedicated control channel for a mobile station which is registered with the public network and whose subscriber has access privileges for the private network, carries neighboring cell data for the cell of the private network. Consequently, the mobile station (provides measurement reports for cells of both network and can be preferentially handed over to the cell of the private network by the public network.

  • Patent number: 5475593
    Abstract: A vehicle suspension system has hydraulically extensible and contractable actuators 14 connected between the vehicle body and the wheel assemblies 17. The actuators 14 are controlled by valves 25 to control the vehicle attitude. The valve 25 of each of the actuators 14 is controlled by a first device such as a digital processor 100, 200, 300 and 400 respectively which is individual to the respective actuator and a second device such as a digital processor 500 which controls all of the actuators 14. Signals generated from the first and second devices are combined to form control signals for each actuator 14. Signals from the second device 500 are filtered before being combined with those from the first device 100, 200, 300 or 400 to remove signals from the second device 500 that are outside a particular band width. The filtering means may be adjustable to set the band width of frequencies above which signals from the second device are removed.
