  • Publication number: 20120158304
    Abstract: The invention enables the evaluation of a situation of an area being exposed to risk by performing measurements at various points of the area. For this purpose, a risk propagation area is estimated over the area. Then, a subset of measurement points is selected from among the various points of the area which are also in the risk propagation area. Assignments for performing measurements at the subset points are planned.

  • Publication number: 20120159632
    Abstract: Method and arrangement in a mediating function (204) for supporting detection of fraud in a network, when a network security function (200) is employed for analysing activities in the network in view of predefined alert criteria, and a fraud detection function (202) is employed for analysing e.g. charging information of users. When a first alert is received from a first one of the network security function and the fraud detection function, indicating that the predefined alert criteria of said first function have been satisfied, the alert criteria of the second one of said network security function and fraud detection function are modified based on the received first alert. Thereby, the network security and fraud detection functions can be correlated and made more efficient regarding accuracy and/or speed in detecting fraud.

  • Publication number: 20120157110
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and apparatuses (800, 900) for facilitating reduction of interference in a network. According to exemplary embodiments, an apparatus acting as a first radio base station (macro or femto) (800, 900) is configured to acquire information including a scheduling scheme indicating information on how radio resources are allocated in second radio base station (femto or macro). The information is then used by a scheduler to allocate radio resources which are disjoint the radio resources already allocated by the scheduler of second radio base station.

    Abstract: A method is followed to prepare a powder that includes carbon, silicon and boron, the silicon being in silicon carbide form and the boron being in boron carbide and/or free boron form. The method includes contacting a carbon-based precursor, a silicon-based precursor and a boron-based precursor BX3, X being a halogen atom, to obtain a mixture of these three precursors. The resulting mixture is subjected to laser pyrolysis. The boron-based precursor BX3 is heated, prior to the contacting step and/or simultaneously with the contacting step, to a temperature higher than the condensation temperature of the precursor.

  • Publication number: 20120155283
    Abstract: A node (110) for an MPLS telecommunications network has interfaces (100) for OAM information exchange relating to a path for data traffic, between first and second other nodes each operating according to different OAM state machines for OAM information exchange. An OAM state machine mapper (120) maps the states of either of the different OAM state machines of the first and second other nodes into states recognised by the other of the different OAM state machines. OAM information exchange is according to either the first or the second OAM state machine and according to states mapped from the other of the OAM state machines, to support the path for data traffic through the node. By such mapping of the different states OAM information can be exchanged across corresponding boundaries and so paths no longer need to be terminated at the boundary to enable end to end operations.
