Abstract: Inductively coupled shelving units and storage containers with integrated primary coils, as well as inductively coupled systems for storing and charging tools, are provided. Power is inductively coupled from a primary coil to a device containing a secondary coil. Primary coils may be integrated into a shelving unit to charge devices stored on the shelving unit. Primary coils may similarly be integrated into a storage container. Inductively coupled shelving units may also be configured to receive and hold an inductively coupled storage container such as a toolbox. An integrated secondary coil in the toolbox receives power inductively coupled from a primary coil in a shelving unit. Integrated primary coils in the toolbox then inductively couple the received power to secondary coils in individual devices. Integrated primary coils may provide varying amounts of power.

Abstract: A method and a Mobile Node are provided for authenticating an Advertisement message received from an Access Router through an Access Point. The Advertisement message comprises a Hashed Nonce Value and a Nonce Index corresponding to a Nonce Value held in the Access Router. Upon receiving the Advertisement message from the Access Point, the Mobile Node initiates a process for configuring an IP address, by use of information received in the Advertisement, for having a session with the Access Point and the Access Router. In parallel, either the Access Point or the Mobile Node sends the Nonce Index directly to the Access Router. The Access Router replies with the Nonce Value sent to the Mobile Node. The Mobile Node hashes the Nonce Value received from the Access Router and compares a Result of the hashing with the Hashed Nonce Value. If the Result matches the Hashed Nonce Value, the Advertisement is considered authenticated and the IP address configured according to the Advertisement is kept in the Mobile Node.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a curved rear pressure bulkhead (1) made of a composite material, comprising three layers: an outer layer (2) and an inner layer (3) symmetrical with one another, which are made of a fiber laminate, and the intermediate layer or core (4) made of a lightweight material. With such a sandwich-type shape, the resulting bulkhead (1) is able to withstand the bending loads coming from the strain and pressurization of the fuselage without having to increase its stiffness by means of using some type of stiffener. The bulkhead (1) comprises a ring (6) that is attached to the ends of the sandwich shape. This ring (6) is split into several parts (8) to facilitate the assembly of the bulkhead (1) made of composite material to the fuselage skin (5).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses that allow for channelisation code allocation adapted for uplink MIMO transmissions. A method for use in a user equipment of a telecommunication system comprises spreading data symbols of a plurality of streams to be transmitted from the user equipment as MIMO transmissions. The step of spreading the data symbols comprises allocating, for each stream, at least one channelisation code (62) to be applied for spreading the data symbols of the stream. The plurality of streams are allocated channelisation codes (62) from a predefined code tree (61) of applicable channelisation codes such that any channelisation code (62) is allocated to more than one stream only if there is no applicable channelisation code left in the code tree (61) which currently is not allocated for any stream. The channelisation code allocation scheme makes it possible to avoid inter-stream interference in many scenarios of uplink MIMO transmissions.
