Signal repeater system of the general type that facilitates using various standards and various modulation types to improve properties with various infrastructure, in particular power grid systems.

A method and system of managing calls over a data network includes admitting a call if a throughput requirement is met. After a call request, the call request defining a throughput requirement, is received for establishing a call, a network resource responds with a throughput requirement request. A throughput measurement is performed between the destination terminals. A throughput measurement response, including the throughput measurement, is transmitted to the network resource. Further, a plurality of communities may be defined, each including one or more terminals. A call may be admitted between communities based on the throughput requirement being met in a connection between each respective terminal. Additionally, one or more of a plurality of resource elements may be selected in response to the call request based on the throughput requirement being met. The resource elements, which may include codecs (coders / decoders), packet sizes (for carrying audio data), and others, may be used in the requested call.

A method, device and computer program product for performing cell reselection based on priorities, where the method includes measuring a signal of a candidate cell, and selecting the candidate cell when the signal characteristic of the candidate cell satisfies a certain criterion for a certain time duration, wherein the certain time duration is modified according to a priority of the candidate cell.

The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for ensuring quality during scanning / copying of images / documents. The method includes the steps of feeding in the page(s) that are to be scanned / copied. Thereafter, a first measurement of outer characteristics is performed with respect to skew, double-feeding / overlapping, deviating shape, and geometric deformation for calculating a first quality measure Q1. Thereafter, the first quality measure Q1 is compared with a predetermined first quality limit Q+1. If Q1>=Q+1, then an automatic adjustment is performed in the form of a geometric transformation in order to improve the first quality measure Q1. Thereafter, the contents of the page are analyzed with respect to structure and objects in order to calculate a second quality measure Q2, which is compared with a predetermined second quality limit Q+2. If Q2>=Q+2, then image improvement methods are performed on each identified object. Thereafter, an information analysis of each page is performed, followed by a comparison with pre-defined form / document types for calculating a third quality measure Q3, which is compared with a predetermined third quality limit Q+3. If Q3>=Q3, then a fourth quality measure Q is calculated, which is an overall quality measure that is compared with a predetermined fourth quality limit Q+. If Q>=Q+, then pre-processing is performed in order to achieve a correct output format, depending on pre-defined information about the printer / output unit.

A method and apparatus suitable for monitoring the quality and / or performance of a processing aid or a component during manufacture, storage, or use of electronics or electronic assemblies is provided. The apparatus incorporates a sampling device, a multivariate sensing system (e.g., a multi-sensor array or at least one sensor capable of measuring multiple variables) capable to process an analysis of low vapor pressure or vaporizable constituents in electronics by detecting some changes in the physico-chemical properties of the sensor and / or electronics and applying multivariate analysis. In one embodiment, the sensing system comprises an array of metal oxide sensors and a multivariate analysis algorithm for data processing. This method and apparatus can be employed for various quality control purposes such as contamination analysis or failure analysis of integrated circuits components.
