Title: Cellular Telecommunications Network
Inventor: FARHAD MEHRAN
IPC: H04W92/10
Filed: 2017-02-08
Abstract: A method of operating a cellular telecommunications network, the cellular telecommunications network including a first base station, a User Equipment, UE, and a remote transceiver, wherein the first base station is adapted to send a signal to the UE, the method comprising the steps of: receiving data from an external sensor indicating a first change in a propagation environment between the first base station and the UE; and, in response, the remote transceiver repeating a signal between the first base station and the UE. The remote transceiver can also receive the sensor data. The invention lies in overcoming the problems associated with coordinating handover in high frequency base station coverage areas where the degradation of received signal power at the cell edge may be relatively high, e.g. indoors as a door closes.

Title: Brake disks
Inventor: Stewart Daniel Wren
IPC: F16D65/12
Filed: 2019-05-03
Abstract: A brake disc, for a vehicle, comprises a cast iron rotor 10 rotatable about an axis X-X and including an axially extending tubular flange. A sheet steel hub 20 includes an axially extending tubular portion 24 of diameter slightly greater than that of the rotor flange so that it fits over it. Rivets 30 hold the hub 20 and the rotor 10 together by pressing the tubular portion 24 of the hub 20 into tight engagement with the rotor flange at circumferentially spaced fastening points. Between the fastening points there is radial clearance between the rotor flange and the tubular portion 24 of the hub 20. The use of sheet steel for the hub reduces the weight of the disk. The difference in diameters between the rotor flange and the tubular portion of the hub facilitates assembly. The radial clearance reduces stress in use of the brake. The configuration may be modified to locate the tubular portion 24 of the hub 20 within the rotor flange.

Title: Mobile fluid expulsion device
Inventor: THOMAS PODKOLINKSKI
IPC: B05B9/00
Filed: 2019-08-14
Abstract: A fluid expelling and vaporising device having heating element 14 in the chamber 1, the inlet 2 and the outlet 7 of the chamber are closed by valves 3, 8, such that the fluid within the chamber increases in temperature and pressure, and change phase. A series of baffles 12 direct the fluid along a non-linear path 13 within the chamber, preventing the liquid from moving in a wave motion if the device is moved. When the outlet valve 8 opens, the internal pressure within the chamber eject the vapour at high velocities through the outlet 7 by a vapour explosion process. The fluid may be heated to or above its saturation temperature at ambient pressure, ensuring the properties of the spray is unchanged even if the device is moved or the orientation changed. Second aspect relates to a method of expelling a fluid from the chamber.
