Title: Method and system for adjusting a peak detection algorithm
Inventor: Mantas Jurkuvenas
IPC: A61B5/352
Filed: 2020-11-23
Abstract: Factors such as activity level and sensor positioning can lead to varying results for peak detection algorithms, causing false peaks or causing true peaks to be missed, affecting calculation of Inter-beat interval (IBI). A wearable garment 200 has an associated electronics module 100 which receives ECG signal values indicative of a heart rate for a subject 600. These are input into an R-peak detection algorithm which generates, as an output, one or more R-R or IBI values. The output R-R values are analysed to identify the presence of an anomaly condition. A property of the R-peak detection algorithm is adjusted in response to identifying the presence of an anomaly condition. For example, this may involve adjusting a threshold level used in the R-peak detection algorithm for removing spurious R-peaks, or adjusting filtering coefficients.

Title: Broadband connectivity
Inventor: MARTIN STEWART TURNER
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2022-05-18
Abstract: A system and method to detect a change in broadband status of a gateway 10 providing Wi-Fi (RTM) access to a client 40. The client subscribes to a broadband status of the gateway when it connects to a LAN interface 20 of the gateway using a Wi-Fi (RTM) interface 60. The client detects a change in the broadband status which indicates a fault in broadband connectivity of the gateway, in response to this a user notification is generated on the client. The client subscription to the broadband status may use universal plug and play (UPnP) general event notification architecture (GENA) or other protocols. The notification of broadband status change may be received by a home broadband (HBB) app 50 at the client. The HBB app may disconnect the Wi-Fi (RTM) connection between the client interface and LAN interface of the gateway and cause the client to restore internet connectivity over a cellular interface 70. The HBB app may make a connection to a HBB self-serve server 90 such that the broadband service (e.g. a DSL connection) may be restored. The change in broadband status may be due to loss of connectivity or a reduction in speed below a predetermined threshold.

Title: Rapid-converging ultrahigh-frequency microwave rainfall data discretization method
Inventor: XIN ZHENG
IPC: G01W1/14
Filed: 2021-05-17
Abstract: A rapid-converging ultrahigh-frequency microwave rainfall data discretization method. The method comprises: discretizing each link in an ultrahigh-frequency microwave network into a plurality of segments of short links; taking the central point of each short link as a virtual station, and determining a central station and a side station in each link; and performing estimation for a virtual station on each link, performing calculation, by means of IDW, by using rainfall intensity estimators of all central stations of other links except the link, correcting a calculation result, and performing successive iteration until an iteration termination condition is met, so as to complete discretization. The method is more scientific and realizes a higher convergence speed. Aiming at the features of an ultrahigh-frequency microwave network, only a central station participates in optimization calculations, so that errors introduced to a model after station discretization are greatly reduced. Accordingly, during a rainfall data processing process, only the central station is used, such that the arithmetic speed is not limited by the number of virtual stations.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) (102, fig 1) may attempt to detect synchronisation signals 405, including Long Term Evolution (LTE) synchronisation signals from eNBs (104), New Radio (NR) synchronisation signals from gNBs (104), and sidelink synchronisation signals (SLSSs) from other UEs (102), for usage in determination of a reference timing for side-link transmissions by the UE 415. The UE may prioritise an LTE synchronisation signal over an SLSS, and may prioritise an NR synchronization signal over an SLSS. If the UE does not detect an LTE synchronization signal or an NR synchronization signal, the UE may select an SLSS. The UE may prioritize an SLSS from a UE that is directly synchronized to an eNB or a gNB over an SLSS from another UE that is indirectly synchronized to an eNB or a gNB. Each detected SLSS includes a sidelink primary synchronization signal (S-PSS), wherein the S-PSS is encoded based on a sequence chosen from a set of two sequences defined for the S-PSS. The UE may encode the S-PSS based on one or more of: a synchronization hop count, an original synchronization source type, an in-coverage/out-of-coverage UE state.
