  • Meter devices and methods
    Patent number: 8166830
    Abstract: Some embodiments of a meter device for measuring volume flow of gas can include bearings and the timing gears may each include a least one component comprising a ceramic material that enhances the wearability of the bearing and the timing gears. Accordingly, the gas flow meter can operate in a manner that reduces or eliminates the need for external oil lubrication of the bearings and the timing gears (e.g., the external oil lubrication conventionally provided by the oil bath compartment), and thus reduces the likelihood of failure of the gas flow meter due to leaks or failures of the oil bath compartment.

  • Multicasting Technique for Scalably Encoded Media Layers
    Publication number: 20120093153
    Abstract: A technique for distributing in a multicasting network media content via two or more media layers is described. The media layers are hierarchically arranged in accordance with a scalable coding protocol such as the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) protocol. In a method implementation of this technique, in a first step a first number of media recipients for a first media layer that is transmitted via a first bearer of the multicasting network is determined. Then, a second bearer of the multicasting network for at least one second media layer is selected taking into account the first number and a hierarchical relationship between the first media layer and the second media layer.

  • Notification Mechanism That Allows A User Equipment To Distinguish Between Different MBSFN Areas
    Publication number: 20120093060
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and arrangement in a telecommunication system, in particular to methods and arrangements relating to overlapping MBSFN-areas. A notification mechanism is introduced that allows a user equipment to distinguish notifications for different MBSFN areas and different MBMS Control Channels. The user equipment then knows already upon reception of the notification whether it has to wake up and read a specific MBMS Control Channel. The embodiments of the present invention thus support multiple MBSFN areas per cell while still maintaining the benefits of reduced battery consumption in the UE due to said MBMS notification mechanism.

  • Fast Voltage Regulators For Charge Pumps
    Publication number: 20120074923
    Abstract: A digital multilevel memory system includes a charge pump and a voltage regulator for generating regulated high voltages for various memory operations. The charge pump may include a plurality of boost circuits to boost the output of the charge pump during a fast start up. Afterwards, the boost circuits are disabled to allow the charge pump to generate high voltages without boosting. The boost circuits may be successively enabled to boost the voltage. The boost circuits may be loadless. The voltage regulator may operate in an open loop and may include a resistive divider as a reference voltage for regulating the high voltage from the charge pump. The charge pump may include spread spectrum pump clocking to reduce electromagnetic inference for capacitor or inductor on-chip charge pumping.
