  • Patent number: 12082003
    Abstract: One embodiment is directed to an open radio access network to provide wireless coverage for a plurality of cells at a site and that comprises a virtualized headend comprising one or more base-station nodes and a plurality of unified remote units deployed at the site. Each of the unified remote units is able to support multiple functional splits, multiple wireless interface protocols, multiple generations of radio access technology, and multiple frequency bands. The unified remote units and functional split used to serve each cell can be changed (for example, on-the-fly as a part of an automatic or manual adaptation process that is a function of one or more monitored performance attributes of the open radio access network such as network bandwidth, network latency, processing load, or processing performance). The unified remote units can be implemented in a modular manner with a backplane to which different radio modules can be coupled.

  • Publication number: 20110174122
    Abstract: A ring saw including a housing with a whirling assembly, on which a holder for a saw blade with inner teeth connected with a drive is rotatably mounted. A control unit controls the assembly. A vibration meter is disposed on the housing. The whirling assembly has a rotational position transducer for detecting the saw blade's rotational position. An evaluation unit, connected with the vibration meter and the rotational position transducer, is set up so that a vibration progression per saw blade tooth is determined on the basis of the vibration meter and rotational position transducer measurement data. The evaluation unit is connected with the control unit of the whirling assembly, which is set up so that the saw blade penetrates into the work piece with a region of low measured vibration amplitude during the penetration process. A method for controlling a saw blade of a ring saw is also provided.
