  • Patent number: 10433188
    Abstract: A control apparatus (1) is configured to automatically update a neighbour relation table (40, 131) of a source cell (10A). The control apparatus (1) is further configured to add, to the neighbour relation table (40, 131), a new entry (41) indicating a neighbour-cell relation from the source cell (10A) to another cell (10B) different from both the source cell (10A) and a target cell (10C) of a handover from the source cell (10A), in response to receiving a first message (S105) that is issued when a radio terminal (2) that has experienced a failure involving disconnection of a radio link connection in the source cell (10A) or in the target cell (10C) attempts to re-establish the radio link connection to the other cell (10B). This contributes to updating the neighbour-cell relations in response to detection of a handover failure.

  • Patent number: 9623446
    Abstract: A sieving apparatus includes first and second sieving portions. The first sieving portion includes a sieve with a plurality of elongated holes or slits for separation of an object to be sieved based on difference in cross-sectional diameter. The second sieving portion with a sieve constituted by a porous plate includes round holes for separation of the object that has passed through the elongated holes or slits based on difference in aspect ratio. The second sieving portion is employed after sieving by the first sieving portion. A diameter of the round holes in the porous plate constituting the sieve included in the second sieving portion is longer than an opening width in a shorter direction of the elongated hole or the slit of the sieve included in the first sieving portion.
