Title: Data packet network
Inventor: BOB BRISCOE
IPC: H04L47/32
Filed: 2015-08-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling packets in a data packet network. Packets sent from a source node to a receiver node are marked as queuable or unqueuable.

Title: Vehicle wheels having locking-hole reinforcement structure
Inventor: WEI-CHIN CHEN
IPC: B60B3/16
Filed: 2016-03-31
Abstract: This invention is related to a reinforcing structure of a truck's wheels. The securing structure mainly install iron alloy screw shaft liners on locking holes of the mounting parts of the aluminium alloy or magnesium alloy rims. The studs of the assembling part correspondingly penetrate the holes of the screw shaft liners. A first folded edge and a second folded edge are formed on two terminals of the screw shaft liners to respectively insert into the conical pits of the mounting part of the rims. The nuts screw onto the studs of the assembling part to secure the rim onto the assembling part and the nuts. When the trucks pass bumping roads, the relative motion, caused by vibrations, is occurred between the rims and the assembling part. Therefore, friction is generated between the wheels and the studs, as well as the nuts and the terminal surfaces of the assembling part. The screw shaft liner is used to let the friction above act on the screw shaft liner. Therefore, the soft aluminium alloy or magnesium alloy rims will not be directly rubbed by the studs, nuts, and the assemble part and thus is damaged. Accordingly, the aluminium alloy or magnesium alloy rims can be suitable for the trucks and other heavy vehicles.

Title: Pump sealing
Inventor: ALAN ERNEST KINNAIRD HOLBROOK
IPC: F04C27/00
Filed: 2017-01-24
Abstract: A pump assembly and method are disclosed. The pump has a housing formed of two parts, each part has a bore with a semi-circular cross-section, the semi-circular part of the bore in the second housing part is recessed into the housing part away from the face on which the two housing parts abut. The offset of the cross section in the second housing part may be determined by a location tolerance of the rotor of the pump. The bores may be two intersecting semi-circular portions in each housing part. The radii of the cross-sections may be matched the radius of the rotor to be placed therein. Increasing the space around the rotor in one half of the bore prevents leakage when parts expand and contract during usage, as the halves of the housing will no longer be forced apart.

Title: Training algorithm for collision avoidance
Inventor: Ashley Elizabeth Micks
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2017-01-25
Abstract: A machine learning model is trained by defining a scenario including models of vehicles and a typical driving environment. A model of a subject vehicle is added to the scenario and sensor locations are defined on the subject vehicle. A perception of the scenario by sensors at the sensor locations is simulated. The scenario further includes a model of a lane-splitting vehicle. The location of the lane-splitting vehicle and the simulated outputs of the sensors perceiving the scenario are input to a machine learning algorithm that trains a model to detect the location of a lane-splitting vehicle based on the sensor outputs. A vehicle controller then incorporates the machine learning model and estimates the presence and/or location of a lane-splitting vehicle based on actual sensor outputs input to the machine learning model.
