Title: Suspended floor device
Inventor: MALAVALLI ANANTHA
IPC: F41H5/007
Filed: 2011-07-26
Abstract: A blast dissipation device for an armored vehicle includes a first absorption system and a second absorption system that are usable to dissipate initial blast forces exerted upon an underbelly of the vehicle caused by, for example, detonation of an IED below the vehicle. The second absorption system has a delayed reaction to forces exerted upon the underbelly of the vehicle. The first absorption system reacts more quickly and serves to dissipate initial forces until the second absorption system is activated to dissipate the remaining forces.

Title: Modular cyclonic separator for separating solid impurities from an airflow
Inventor: HO YU-PEI
IPC: B04C5/26
Filed: 2014-04-17
Abstract: A modular cyclonic separator comprises separating tubes 3 each including an air-guiding impeller 32 that is fixed coaxially in an outer tube body 31 and that is formed with spiral channels 322 for causing an airflow, which flows radially into the separating tube 3 to follow a cyclonic flow pattern through a separating chamber 310 in the separating tube 3, thereby separating some of solid impurities from the airflow within the separating chamber 310. Each separating tube 3 is capable of connecting selectively with one or two three-port valves 4 to form a first filtration module A or second filtration module B. In the first filtration module A the airflow enters the separation tube 3 by passing through a first fluid passage 43 of three-port valve 4 and exits through a second fluid passage 44 of the same three-port valve 4. In the second filtration module B the airflow enters the separation tube 3 by passing through a first fluid passage 43 of one three-port valve 4 and exits through a second fluid passage 44 of a second three-port valve 4.

IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2014-05-30
Abstract: In a tile-based graphics processing system, when a tile for a render output is to be generated, the fragment data storage requirements for each fragment to be generated for the tile is determined 51, and a colour and/or depth buffer in the tile buffer is allocated for use by the fragments for the tile based on the determination 57. The graphics processing pipeline then, when generating rendered fragment data for the tile, stores the rendered fragment data in the colour buffer and/or depth buffer of the tile buffer allocated to the fragments for the tile 58.

Abstract: A mobile terminal performs searching on first and second wireless networks which use first and second frequency bands respectively. The searching may be directed to an access point on a wireless LAN (WLAN). The first and second wireless network are associated from among the wireless networks found by the search, the first and second wireless networks being formed by the access point. The association of the first and second wireless networks may be achieved by comparing probe response signals received from access points and associating wireless networks formed by the same access point using a unique identifier of the access point (fig. 6D). Authentication processing is performed to connect to one of the selected wireless networks. Preferably authentication is performed against the associated wireless network so that the mobile device can connect to it at a later point. After connecting to the first wireless network transitioning may take place from the first wireless network to the second wireless network when connecting to a third wireless network which uses the first frequency band.
