Title: Cellular telecommunications network
Inventor: ANDREW CORSTON-PETRIE
IPC: H04W48/20
Filed: 2018-06-18
Abstract: One or more network nodes of a telecommunications network are configured to implement a plurality of network slices. Requirement data is identified that indicates a network requirement (for example bandwidth or latency thresholds) for one or more metrics for a User Equipment, UE, to access a service of a service provider. Network slice capability data (for example minimum bandwidth or average latency) is identified for a first and second network slice, the network slice capability data for the first and second network slices indicating the first and second network slice's capability for the one or more metrics respectively. The requirement data is compared to at least one of the network slice capability data for the first network slice and the network slice capability data for the second network slice. It is then determined that the UE should access the service using the first network slice based on the comparison and a connection of the UE to the first network slice is initiated. The capability data may indicate that the first network slice is of a higher priority.

Title: Duct blockage risk location prediction
Inventor: NEIL PARKIN
IPC: H02G9/06
Filed: 2019-07-30
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to predicting blockages in underground ducts. To identify one or more locations along a route for an underground duct between two ends which indicate a blockage risk, the method comprises obtaining a terrain elevation profile 110 for the route; estimating a duct elevation profile (Fig 3B) for the route based on the terrain elevation profile; and predicting one or more blockage risk locations along the route by determining where water entering the duct from each of the two ends would settle, based on the duct elevation profile. The method may assume that the duct is buried at a constant depth d, or produce a more rounded elevation profile by assuming that the duct will be laid substantially horizontal where the ground level varies by less than a threshold amount, eg section 129.

Title: Image scanning apparatus and method
Inventor: MARTIN PHILIP GOUCH
IPC: H04N1/029
Filed: 2020-11-17
Abstract: An image scanning apparatus has imaging sensors 15,16,17 and a focusing system 1 defining an optical axis by directing light from a target where the light focussed on each imaging sensor has a different focus level. The focussing system has an optical path modifier 61 where first and second light paths between a first and second image sensor and the optical path modifier respectively are different. A scanning system moves the target relative to the optical axis generating a target image using image data from the image sensors. The apparatus takes into account variations in surface topography. The optical path lengths of the first and second light paths may be different. A combination of the specific position upon the target and the specific light path may result in a focus level different from all other focus levels. A retarding element with a refractive index to modify the optical path length may be placed in the first or second light paths. The optical path modifier may be a first beam splitter 61 and a second beam splitter 62 may be a combiner. The imaging sensors may selectively receive light from each of the first and second light paths by optical shutters.
