Patent number: 7602763Abstract: A method and system distributes frame synchronization information at a base station implementing air interfaces of at least two different standards and to a base station implementing air interfaces of at least two different standards. Frame synchronization information is generated in a clock unit for at least two air interface standards. Synchronization bursts containing the frame synchronization information are transferred from the clock unit to processing units over a serial bus using time-division multiplexing for synchronization bursts addressed to the processing units of different air interface standards. The frame synchronization information is extracted in each processing unit from the received synchronization burst of its respective air interface standard.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2003Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Pekka Adolfsen, John Beale

Patent number: 7293119Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for performing a data transfer between a shared memory (16) of a processor device (10) and a circuitry (20) connected to the processor device (10), wherein the data transfer is performed by triggering a DMA transfer of the data to the processor device, adding the DMA transfer to a transaction log, and providing the transaction log to the processor device, when the transaction log has reached a predetermined depth limit. The processor device is then informed of the DMA transfer of the transaction log, so as to be able to validate the transferred data. Thereby, significant background data movement can be provided without introducing high core overheads at the processor device (10).Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2001Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: John Beale

Publication number: 20040042637Abstract: A target (3, 207) is monitored using an image sensor (5, 201) for producing a signal indicative of an image received by the sensor, and processing the image signal. The image signal is processed using a comparator (105) for determining the amplitude of the image signal and for identifying any part or parts of the signal having an amplitude greater than a predetermined threshold (VTR). Location coordinates of the part or parts of the signal having an amplitude greater than the predetermined threshold are then determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2003Publication date: March 4, 2004Inventor: Marc Ivor John Beale

Patent number: 5626311Abstract: A method of guiding missiles in the terminal phase of an intercept. An image of the target area is stored as a reference. The reference is expanded by an amount which increases as the missile approaches the target. The expanded reference is then correlated to successively formed images of the target and the results of the correlation are used to guide the missile. The amount of expansion of the reference is selected to compensate for growth of the image as the missile approaches the target. A filter used to filter the successively formed images is adjusted to correspond to the amount of expansion in the reference.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1988Date of Patent: May 6, 1997Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Charles P. Smith, John A. Beale

Patent number: 4023952Abstract: A particular range of glass compositions in the soda-boro-silicate glass system has been found to be particularly suitable for ultra-low loss dielectric optical waveguides. The composition range is indicated in FIG. 1 of the specification. By preparing such glasses in a reducing atmosphere (0-2% CO in CO.sub.2) and adding about 1% As.sub.2 O.sub.3 to the melt attenuation coefficients due to copper and iron can be minimized. The water content of the glass can be reduced by bubbling dry CO in CO.sub.2 through the molten glass. Glasses containing less than 30% Na.sub.2 O by weight have the lowest losses. Using glasses of this type dielectric optical waveguides having an insertion loss of less than 14 dBKm.sup.-.sup.1 have been made.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1976Date of Patent: May 17, 1977Assignee: The Post OfficeInventors: George Reginald Newns, Keith John Beales
