Title: Combined security and QOS coordination among devices
Inventor: DIRK BOLTE
IPC: H04W76/04
Filed: 2016-06-10
Abstract: A method includes establishing a wireless link between a wireless interface of an endpoint and a Wireless Access Point WAP. Network traffic is exchanged through the link associated with execution of an application at the endpoint. At the endpoint, a security routine to monitor a security status is executed. Through the wireless link, a secure channel is established which shares the wireless link with the network traffic of the application. The secure channel extends from the security routine to a supervisor through the wireless link and the WAP and conveys, from the security routine and through the secure channel, an indication of the security status. At the security routine and through the secure channel, a command to change a setting of the wireless interface associated with a characteristic of the wireless link is received and accessing, from the security routine, the wireless interface to effect the change in response to receiving the command. A further embodiment describes reporting a WAP security status to the network and adjusting network parameters accordingly. Mention is also made of monitoring performance of a wireless link and changing settings based on monitored performance.

Title: Analogue to digital converter
Inventor: JEVON RAYMOND DAVIES
IPC: H03M1/60
Filed: 2010-01-15
Abstract: An analogue to digital converter 1 comprises a plurality of parallel-connected circuits 8a-n, each converting an analogue signal into a series of digital pulses. The number of pulses produced by each circuit in a time period is related to the integral of the analogue signals amplitude over that time period. Each circuit comprises an integrating capacitor (32, Figure 2) and a Schmitt trigger (64, Figure 4), wherein each integrating capacitor has a different capacitance value and/or each Schmitt trigger has a different threshold voltage. The pulses generated by each circuit may be desynchronised with the pulses generated by other circuits. Each circuit may generate a respective analogue signal by adding a different bias signal or noise signal to an analogue input signal 2 so as to reduce the likelihood of pulses from two or more circuits from occurring at the same time. Each circuit may generate a pulse asynchronously when the integral of the integral of the input signal is equal to a predetermined reference voltage. The circuits collectively average noise towards zero and sample an analogue input signal at a higher frequency than would be possible with a single circuit.

Title: Industrial CT scanning test system and fluid pressure loading apparatus
Inventor: YANG JU
IPC: G01N23/04
Filed: 2016-07-05
Abstract: An industrial CT scanning test system and a fluid pressure loading apparatus (4). The fluid pressure loading apparatus (4) comprises a body (41). A sample accommodating chamber (4a) and at least one fluid medium chamber (4b, 4d) are provided inside the body (41). Each fluid medium chamber (4b, 4d) is internally provided with a piston (42, 47). Each piston (42, 47) partitions the corresponding fluid medium chamber (4b, 4d) into two chambers, one of the chambers being communicated with an external hydraulic medium by means of an oil way disposed inside the body (41), the other chamber being communicated with the sample accommodating chamber (4a). One end, facing the sample accommodating chamber (4a), of each piston (42, 47) can extend into the sample accommodating chamber (4a). The pressure of a fluid medium flowing into the fluid medium chamber (4b, 4d) pushes the piston (42, 47) to act, such that the piston (42, 47) abuts against a sample and applies a certain force to the sample. The loading apparatus (4) achieves force loading by means of fluid pressure, is convenient to place on a sample scanning table due to small size, and can regulate a force applied to a sample in real time by controlling the flow of a fluid medium flowing into the fluid medium chamber (4b, 4d), thereby further improving the test efficiency.

Title: Method for performing a trip when the number of times for a flexible DC control system is temporarily locked and then unlocked again exceeds a threshold.
Inventor: FENGMEI CAO
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 2016-12-28
Abstract: A method for performing a trip, when the number of times that a flexible DC control system is temporarily locked and then unlocked again exceeds a threshold. When a short-time fault occurs to the grid side AC system of an interconnection transformer, after a valve control system determines that the current of a bridge arm is in an over-current state, the valve control system is triggered to be locked temporarily, and a pole control system is notified to be locked. When the current of the bridge arm is gradually attenuated, the temporary lock state disappears, and the pole control system is unlocked again after a fixed time. When a serious fault occurs to the grid side of the interconnection transformer, the valve control system and the pole control system may repeat the process of temporarily locking and unlocking. When the number of times for locking and unlocking exceeds a threshold, the pole control system implements the locking and tripping operation. The method not only improves the traversal success rate of the flexible DC control system during an AC fault, but also protects the flexible DC converter valve which is primary equipment.

Title: Methods, systems and apparatus for controlling movement of transporting devices
Inventor: ROBERT ROLF STADIE
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2015-06-03
Abstract: The system and method disclose determine and reserving routes for moving transporting devices, moving transporting devices when transporting one or more of a plurality of containers, and control the transporting devices to retrieve one or more of the plurality of containers from within one or more of a plurality of stacks. Prior to retrieving the desired container from within the stack, other (undesired or non-targeted) containers require moving. The undesired containers are moved by placing each of these undesired containers in an optimised position chosen from a pool of empty locations, excluding the original stack from which it was removed. This allows for the position of the undesired container to be optimised based on future ordering. The placement optimisation may also be based on predictions of future ordering or congestion levels. The movement and actions of the transportation devices can also be optimised to limit the number of movements the devices has to take. These sorts of system are used with in warehouses and storage facilities.
