| 20100234048 | DETERMINING THE CHANGE IN TIME AT A MOBILE TERMINAL - In a terminal | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110043406 | FINDING THE POSITION OF A MOBILE TERMINAL - A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the position, or change in the position, of a mobile terminal. The terminal has a receiver for receiving the signals from one or more transmission sources at unknown positions and an independent positioning device able to find, when operative, the position of the mobile terminal. The method uses the independent positioning device to measure the position of the mobile terminal at one or more first locations. A respective first set of time or phase offset values of signals received from the transmission sources relative to each other or to a reference in the mobile terminal is measured in the mobile terminal, at each first location. A second set of time or phase offset values are measured in the mobile terminal at a second terminal location where the independent positioning device is not operative and a second set of time or phase offset values of the signals received from the transmission sources, relative to each other or to a reference in the mobile terminal is measured. The values and said first measured terminal position or positions are combined, to thereby calculate the position of the mobile terminal at the second location, or the change in position of the mobile terminal between a first location and the second location. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20150245179 | OBJECT TRACKING - A communication device configured to form a cluster with one or more other communication devices in its vicinity, monitor the presence, in the cluster, of those other communication devices and provide information about the presence, in the cluster, of the other communication devices to another device. | 08-27-2015 |
| 20150245231 | DEVICE PROXIMITY - A method of determining the proximity of a first device to a second device, the method comprising, at the second device: receiving a first packet having a first payload and a first lifetime value, the first lifetime value being such so as to cause a device receiving the first packet to not retransmit the first payload; and generating, in dependence on the first packet, a second packet having a second payload and a second lifetime value, the second payload being indicative of the proximity of the first device to the second device and the second lifetime value being such as to cause a device receiving the second packet to retransmit the second payload. | 08-27-2015 |

| 20100129255 | Joining and a repair method - A method of forming a fully consolidated joint between first and second components comprising the steps of forming a slot in the first component; inserting at least part of the second component into the slot; inserting a powder material into the slot; heating the powder material to form a pressure tight skin; and applying hot isostatic pressure to the pressure tight skin to form a fully consolidated joint. Also a method of repairing a component. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20120100032 | MOULD ASSEMBLY FOR A HOT ISOSTATIC PRESSING PROCESS - The invention relates to a mould assembly for a hot isostatic pressing, HIP, process, comprising: an insert comprising a plurality of pieces which combine to provide a recess in which a protrusion of the component can be formed; and, a holding piece having at least one cavity in which the insert is mateably received. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120100033 | MOULD ASSEMBLY FOR A HOT ISOSTATIC PRESSING PROCESS - This invention relates to a mould assembly for a hot isostatic pressing, HIP, process for fabricating a component, comprising: a first part which includes a shaped surface for forming a first surface of the component, the shaped surface having at least one recess; a second part arranged to move relative to the first part during the HIP process so as to compress a powder in-fill held therebetween, wherein the second part includes a formation configured to focus pressure toward the recess so as to aid consolidation of the powder in-fill at a distal end thereof. | 04-26-2012 |
