Abstract: In some examples, a method for generating an interactive three-dimensional quantitative thermal heat flow mapping of an environment comprises generating a three-dimensional representation of the environment, the representation comprising multiple surfaces defining respective boundaries of the environment, generating a thermal image representing a surface temperature at multiple points on respective ones of the surfaces of the environment within the three-dimensional representation, determining a measure for an ambient temperature within the environment, determining respective measures for incident radiant temperature of the surfaces, determining respective measures for the emissivity of the surfaces, providing a measure of temperature outside of a surface, calculating, at each of the multiple points, a value for the instantaneous heat flow per unit area using the measures for surface temperature, ambient temperature within the environment and incident radiant temperature of the surfaces, and using the values

Abstract: In a mobile radio network such a GSM network, an operative identity code is passed by a mobile station to the fixed network part at the start of each communication transaction. This operative identity code will either be the unique identity code (IMSI) assigned to the mobile-station user or, more usually, a temporary, substitute, identity code (TMSI) allocated by the fixed network part with a view to obscuring the identity of the user to anyone monitoring the network radio traffic. Whilst the fixed network infrastructure knows the association between a temporary identity code (TMSI) and the corresponding unique identity code (IMSI) of a user, this information is generally not readily accessible.

Abstract: A method is provided of following a communication transaction during which a communicating mobile station (12) is handed-over from one radio cell to another in a mobile radio system. The transaction is followed across the handover by monitoring signaling messages on the signaling paths in the mobile radio system to detect the occurrence of common parameters related to communication transactions subject to handover. By correlating these parameters it is possible to associate fragments of the same transaction that give rise to signaling messages on different signaling paths. Thus in the case of a GSM mobile radio system with monitoring of the A interfaces, the parts of a communication transaction split by a handover from one BSC (17A) to another (17Z), can be associated by correlating the RR3 Handover Command signaling units appearing on the signaling links (68,69) to the old and new BSCs (17A,17Z).
