Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for configuring frequency aggregation

An apparatus for determining whether to deactivate a secondary cell includes a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including determining that a secondary cell should be deactivated based on a measurement(s) of the secondary cell or received information associated with frequency spectrum of the secondary cell. The computer program code may cause the apparatus to generate a deactivation message responsive to the measurement(s) indicating secondary cell interference or the received information indicating that the apparatus should no longer use the frequency spectrum. The computer program code may cause the apparatus to provide the deactivation message to a network device. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

Pulse oximetry method and system with improved motion correction

InactiveUS6839582B2Reduces complexity and component requirementReduce complexityDiagnostic recording/measuringSensorsPerfusionPower flow
A pulse oximetry method and system for improved motion correction is disclosed. The method / system provides for the use of a detector output signal to obtain a different plurality of differential absorption data sets in corresponding relation to each of a succession of measurement, wherein each of the data sets includes differential absorption values for light of a first wavelength and light of a second wavelength. The data sets are processed to obtain a relative motion estimate value for each measurement. When the relative motion estimate value for a given measurement falls within a predetermined range (i.e., corresponding with clinical motion), a corresponding blood analyte indicator value is adjusted in a predetermined manner, wherein the corresponding adjusted blood analyte indicator is employable to obtain at least one blood analyte concentration value. In one embodiment, blood analyte indicator values may be readily multiplied by a predetermined adjustment factor (i.e., when clinical motion is identified). The relative motion estimate value for a given measurement may be obtained by conducting a principal component analysis of the corresponding plurality of data sets relative to a corresponding best fit function therefor to obtain corresponding variance values V1, V2. The variance value V1, and / or V2 for a given current measurement may be employed to obtain a current motion estimate value. The current motion estimate value and the relative motion estimate value obtained for a prior low motion measurement (i.e., for which no adjustment was necessary) may be used to compute the relative motion estimate value for the current measurement. The variance values V1 and / or V2 are also employable to compute an ongoing, updated motion probability factor, wherein such factor may be used to adjust relative motion estimates values in instances of rapid tissue perfusion changes.

Programming model for subscription services

The present invention relates to a subscription modeling system and methodology. A query processor receives subscription query and subscriber information and transforms the query and subscriber information into data. An index component propagates at least one database with the transformed data; and a matching component that associates the transformed data with event data to generate a database of notification data that can be delivered to subscribers. The invention provides for abstracting subscription and subscriber information (as well as event information if desired) to high-level classes (e.g., data fields)—thus the invention provides for modeling such notification related information as data. Subscription applications can thus be developed at high levels wherein complex subscription queries and subscriber information can be defined as data fields for example. Databases in accordance with the data fields can be propagated with subscription / subscriber specific information. The present invention takes advantages of the processing power associated with database engines (e.g., SQL server) to generate notifications via performing a join operation on the databases (e.g., subscription database(s), subscriber database(s) and event database(s)). Accordingly, notifications are generated en masse as compared to per subscription per subscriber. Thus the present invention provides for a highly scalable and efficient notification system.

Determining Fluid Rate and Phase Information for a Hydrocarbon Well Using Predictive Models

Physical models of wells are used to determine rate and phase composition for fluid produced from or injected into the wells on a near real time and continuous basis. The method can be used to alert operators or others of conditions in a well or field to permit more immediate response. The method can be more tolerant of sensor faults, sensor drift, anomalous data or other occurrences which could otherwise lead to incorrect output. More than one model can be used to permit a hierarchy of calculation such that the rate and phase determination is more tolerant of anomalous data. The calculated rate and phase values from one or more wells can be reconciled against facility data.

Ethernet packet encapsulation for metropolitan area ethernet networks

The problems of large tables in Ethernet switches used on a metropolitan area scale, and the exposure of the enterprise network topologies, can be avoided by encapsulating each original Ethernet packet, which originates in a first network of an entity, e.g., an enterprise, a customer, or a network service provider, within another Ethernet packet which is given a source address that identifies the new encapsulating packet as originating at a port of a switch that is located at the interface between the first network in which the original packet originated and a second Ethernet network, e.g., the metropolitan area Ethernet network, which is to transport the encapsulating packet. When the encapsulating packet would exceed the allowable Ethernet packet length, the original packet may be split up at the interface between the first and second network and the resulting parts encapsulated into two encapsulating packets.
