Title: Method and apparatus
Inventor: MANUEL PINUELA RANGEL
IPC: H01F41/04
Filed: 2016-09-16
Abstract: A coil 10, or a method of making or using a coil, comprises a coil scaffold where an elongate member is disposed around, in a spaced manner, a looped path, wherein the said member is in a helical form about an axis; and a conductive layer covers and conforms to the surface of the elongate member to provide a coiled conductive element. The coil 10 may be used in an inductive power transfer arrangement. The conductive layer may be deposited on to the surface of the scaffold to form a continuous conductive layer completely covering the coil turns 24, 26, 28 and providing a conductive tube with a circular cross section. The coil 10 may be arranged with an even spacing between the turns 24, 26, 28 with a selected tolerance based on certain operational features. The scaffold may be a low conductivity material such as plastic and the conductive layer may be copper. The conductive layer may be at least 2.6 times thicker than the skin depth of the conductor at the operating frequency of the coil. The method of making the coil may involve three dimensional (3D) printing and instructions for doing this.

Title: Automatically augmenting message exchange threads based on message classification
Inventor: David Kogan
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2016-12-09
Abstract: Obtaining a message from a message exchange thread 502 and determining a search unsuitability score 506 or idle chatter score 504 of the message and selectively incorporating based on the score a search result generated from the content of the message 512-516 or a conversational response 510. A suitability score may also be generated for the message 506.

Patent GB-2559591-A (GB)
Title: Controlling wireless communication
Inventor: SIMON PATRICK ALEXANDER RINGLAND
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2017-02-10
Abstract: Wireless access points APn with radar detectors 27 share information regarding possible detections of radar signals within a specified frequency range. A given access point AP1 then determines whether to start or stop wireless communication with its user devices in said frequency range depending on both this shared information and on its own detection of possible radar signals. It is mandatory for a WiFi system such as an access point to stop transmitting on any channel on which radar signals are detected, a process known as Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS); the present invention aims to reduce false positive detections when performing the associated Channel Availability Checks (CACs) and In Service Monitoring (ISM). The given access point may start or stop communication with its user devices dependent on a comparison of a possible radar signal with a threshold, where the threshold may be updated according to information received from the other access points. The access points may communicate with each other directly 222 or via a central control unit 35.

Title: Improved acknowledgment of grouped multi-user downlink transmissions in an 802.11ax network.
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2017-11-08
Abstract: An access point for a wireless network aggregates data frames respectively addressed to multiple stations and transmits them together in a single resource unit of a multi-user downlink transmission. The access point also signals in the data frames respective response resource units of a subsequent multi-user uplink transmission for the addressee stations to use. The responses may be acknowledgements 1040 of the received data frames 1020, and the response resources may be signalled in the data frames using the Uplink Multi-user Response Scheduling (URMS) control field defined in Wi-Fi 802.11ax. The multi-user downlink and uplink transmissions may belong to the same transmission opportunity (TxOP). The data frames may be aggregated in such a way that the total number of addressee stations in the downlink transmission from which acknowledgements are required does not exceed the maximum number of resource units in the corresponding uplink transmission.

Title: Vehicle Control System And Control Method
Inventor: DANIEL WOOLLISCROFT
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2018-08-10
Abstract: A control system 8100, for a vehicle (10, fig 1) operable in an autonomous mode and a non-autonomous mode has one or more controllers. The system 8100 receives (8410) environment data indicative of an environment of the vehicle and, when operating in a non-autonomous mode, a goal signal indicative of a navigation goal of the vehicle (8420). The controllers, after receipt of the environment data and the goal signal, identify an availability of subsequent navigation of the vehicle, operating in an autonomous mode, into a desired vehicle orientation at the navigation goal. The controllers output a navigation signal to cause the vehicle, operating in the autonomous mode, to navigate autonomously into the desired vehicle orientation at the navigation goal. The subsequent navigation may be a parking procedure.

Title: Installation of subsea risers
Inventor: NELSON BITTAR ROMEU
IPC: F16L1/24
Filed: 2018-09-14
Abstract: A method of installing a subsea riser includes placing an elongate support on the seabed and guiding a riser portion onto the support to extend along and be cradled by the support. A hogbend region of the riser is then formed by conferring positive buoyancy on the support to lift the support and the riser portion away from the seabed. An element 32 of the support has a riser support 38 disposed in a longitudinally‑extending open-ended gap between buoyancy volumes 36 disposed on opposite sides of the gap. Coupling formations such as hinge portions 40 can couple the element to a like element so that the gaps of those elements align to define an upwardly-opening, longitudinally-extending groove or trough to receive the riser. The riser support may have downwardly-converging walls at an angle of 50 to 80 degrees from the horizontal.

Title: Fully electric downhole safety tool
Inventor: LEONARDO GONÇALVES CANDIDO GOMES
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2018-06-05
Abstract: A fully electric downhole safety tool comprising a valve (200) for flow blockage in oil and gas wells completion operations under emergency conditions is described. Valve (200) comprises an actuation array constituted by a hollow shaft motor (101), nut (104), spindle (104) and sliding sleeve (106), so that upon starting the opening movement said array compresses spring (107) and places flapper sealing (108) in the open position, enabling communication to occur between zones and fluid to flow. On the contrary, to close the valve, as soon as the electrical supply is ceased, string (107) relaxes, sliding (sleeve 106) returns as is the case for the whole of the actuation array, and flapper sealing (108) is exposed to the flow so that valve (200) returns to the closed position, physically blocking flow.
