  • Patent number: 11258804
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling access for a user equipment to at least one local device via an intermediary system that is configured to connect to a local network and to a public network. The user equipment is connected to the public network and the at least one local device is connected to the local network. The method comprises a number of steps in the intermediary system. One of these steps is storing one or more location conditions for access for the user equipment to the at least one local device. Another step is receiving first location information of the user equipment over the public network, the first location information indicating a location of the user equipment. Yet another step is controlling access for the user equipment to the at least one local device by verifying whether the first location information satisfies the one or more location conditions. The invention further relates to the intermediary system used in the method.

  • Patent number: 11143113
    Abstract: A system includes a controller configured to monitor a fuel system supplying fuel to a gas turbine engine. The system also includes an electric propulsion system controlled by the controller. The electric propulsion system is configured as a variable load, which is supplied rotational energy by the engine. The controller is configured to dynamically control a magnitude of the variable load to adjust rotational speed of the gas turbine engine during a fixed level of fuel supply to the gas turbine engine. The electric propulsion system may include an electric generator and a plurality of propulsor motor(s) rotating a propulsor to provide thrust and/or lift to a vehicle such as an aircraft. The electric generator may be rotationally driven with the gas turbine engine to output electric power. The electric power is supplied to the propulsor motor(s) to rotate the propulsor to provide thrust and/or lift of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9491687
    Abstract: An infrastructure and method for controlling wireless access to a telecommunications infrastructure for a device includes a first access grant time interval applicable for granting access for the device to the telecommunications infrastructure stored in a device register system. The first access grant time interval is applied when the device requests access to the telecommunications infrastructure via a first network node of the telecommunications infrastructure. However, a second access grant time interval is applied in a second network mode of the telecommunications infrastructure when the device requests access via the second network node. The second access grant time interval is applicable for granting access for the device to the telecommunications infrastructure and is different from the first access grant time interval.
