Title: Direct link resource releasing mechanism in a multi-user TxOP
Inventor: PATRICE NEZOU
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2020-07-17
Abstract: An access point, AP, is granted a transmission opportunity to schedule multi-user transmissions with non-AP stations. The AP can provide resource units to peer stations for direct link transmission, within the TxOP. The DiL resource units are allocated for a duration. However, the duration may not match the peer needs and may be too long. It results that bandwidth is lost. To give back the resource unit to the AP, a peer station sends, upon finishing the DiL transmission, a resource releasing frame, such as a QoS Null frame, to the AP over the allocated DiL resource unit. The AP may then reuse the time saved to offer more transmission time to other stations within the TxOP.

Title: A database query and visualisation system
Inventor: Oliver Pike
IPC: G06F16/248
Filed: 2021-03-24
Abstract: A database query and visualisation system provides an interface with which a user can specify one or more queries. The system generates a response to each query which is displayed as a table, graph or other visual representation. The system is configured to process each query as a layer, where a layer is a node in a directed graph, and a set of nodes forms a notebook. The notebook is therefore made up of one or more layers, and each layer generally corresponds to a step in larger, more complex query. The notebook can be presented vertically down a scrollable page or as a dashboard. Changes made in one layer can cascade to other layers which depend on the results of that layer. A query in a layer, which may be a natural language query, is transformed by the system into an exact, unambiguous, query in a database query language, such as SQL.
