Abstract: Technologies are provided herein for modifying mobile network signal propagation predictions. According to embodiments, signal characteristics are received from a network management system. The signal characteristics correspond to signals propagating in a predetermined portion of a mobile telephone network. An initial signal propagation prediction that corresponds to the predetermined portion of the mobile telephone network is also received. The initial signal propagation prediction is modified based on the received signal characteristics to produce a more accurate signal propagation prediction.

Abstract: A process for treating wood comprising applying to the surface of the wood a boron based preservative which reacts with moisture within the wood to form a boron compound and alcohol and subjecting the wood with the applied preservative to a substantially moisture-free and enclosed environment for a period sufficient for the applied preservative to be absorbed into the wood and to produce the boron compound on reaction with the moisture in the wood and for the alcohol by-product of the reaction to be adsorbed within the wood structure.

Abstract: The invention describes a device that can generate a magnetic field, such as a solenoid or magnet, with a shape and insulation allowing it to be crossed by a liquid which will be polarized. The magnetic field generated is regular so that its effect on the liquid passing through the device will be uniform. Due to its preferably tubular shape, the device may be fitted in any liquid distribution system or it can even, due to its tubular shape, replace a segment of said circuits.

Abstract: The invention provides glue, glue line resin systems and wood products incorporating glues with bifenthrin. Methods are disclosed for the application of such glue and resin systems with bifenthrin. The glues with bifenthrin are effective for preserving wood including engineered wood products, with or without additional surface sprays.

Abstract: A system for providing a policy based Quality-of-Service management in multi-radio access mobile networks, comprising: control center means for administrating said radio access networks, thereby controlling the behavior thereof, wherein information model is implemented in said control center means which describes different Quality-of-Service mechanisms including attributes which are involved in each function under policy thus representing the manageable parameters of specific network implementations, and wherein said information model forms the basis of a set of policy rules defining actions to be executed in dependency of the occurrence of conditions; and a policy based management device adapted to receive said set of rules for the implementation thereof, said device having a plurality of policy based radio resource management means each adapted for managing said parameters of specific network implementations, and a translation function means adapted to translate said rules in a form executable by said plura

Abstract: An apparatus for preparing at least a first (#1) and a second data flow (#2) for transmission in a mobile network comprises a weight determination means (40) for determining at least one transmission priority for said first data flow (#1) and at least one transmission priority for said second data flow (#2) according to their classes. The apparatus further comprises a scheduling means (1) for scheduling said first and second data flow (#1, #2) for transmission in the mobile network depending on their transmission priority determined. Also a method for preparing the first and second data flow (#1, #2) is described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of wood, and is particularly concerned with a method for increasing the permeability of wood, especially moist wood.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of wood, and is particularly concerned with a method for increasing the permeability of wood, especially moist wood.

Abstract: A method for increasing the permeability of wood which comprises subjecting wood with a moisture content (based on dry weight) of at least 15% to microwave radiation at a frequency (f) in the range of from about 0.1 to about 24 GHz with a power intensity (p) from about 10 W/cm2 to about 100 kW/cm2 for a duration of from about 0.05 to about 600 seconds to cause water in the wood to vaporise resulting in an internal pressure in the wood such that the permeability of the wood is increased by partial or complete destruction of ray cell tissue, softening and displacement of wood resin, formation of pathways in the radial direction of the wood and/or by creating, on the base of destroyed rays, cavities in the wood, said cavities being primarily in radial-longitudinal planes of the wood, and wherein the overall integrity of the wood is substantially maintained. A wood-based material may be formed having a permeability which is at least 5 times that of the untreated wood.

Abstract: An adaptive signal receiver comprising at least one blind detection unit arranged to be robust to asynchronous multiple access interference (MAI). The useful signal is detected using a user signature sequence comprised of a fixed term and a complex adaptive part having a length that extends over a number of samples within a defined observation window. Provision is made for updating automatically and periodically the complex adaptive part of the signature sequence.
