A longitudinal first flange of uniform width extends transverse to the web along the first edge in a first plane, and defines a flange edge at a pre-set separation from the web. The elongate body defines opposite first and second ends, and the elongate body has, at the first end, a first end plate 11 orthogonal to the longitudinal centre line. The first end plate defines a first aperture 12 at a selected distance from the first plane. The first aperture is provided in the plane of the web. The web defines at least one second aperture 13 at the same selected distance from the first plane. The first flange terminates at a flange end short of the first end by a distance at least equal to the pre-set separation, whereby the first end of the elongate construction element may be coupled to the web of a second such elongate construction element 30 with the first end plate of the first elongate construction element in facial contact with the web of the second such elongate construction element by a bolt 26 and nut combination, the bolt having a shaft arranged to extend through both the first aperture of the first elongate construction element and a second aperture of the second elongate construction element. Also claimed is a construction comprising two elements connected in the way described above.

Title: Subsea control system communication network
Inventor: Vitor Jesus
IPC: H04L12/721
Filed: 2015-04-22
Abstract: An optimal communication route through a subsea control system is determined, the system comprising a topside control system (TCS), routers and subsea electronic modules (SEMs). A request for communication between the TCS and a selected SEM is broadcast to adjacent routers, which include themselves as a valid hop in the information field of the request and then re-broadcast to further routers. The process is repeated until a plurality of re-broadcast requests corresponding to respective routes between the TCS and the selected SEM are received at the communication destination. An end-to-end quality metric is then determined for each received request based on the information field, and an optimal route having the highest metric is selected. A reply to the received request corresponding to the optimal route is sent, the reply containing a complete reverse path of the received request. The optimal route is then established as the in-use communication route.

Title: A mm wave power amplifier and a method of optimising such a power amplifier
Inventor: ANDREW TUCKER
IPC: H03G1/00
Filed: 2016-04-11
Abstract: A mm-wave power amplifier 1 comprises a plurality of amplifiers 2 connected in parallel between a signal splitter and a signal combiner. Each amplifier includes an amplifying FET connected to a VDS voltage source 19 and a VGS voltage source 20 for setting the drain-source and gate-source voltages respectively. Alternatively, an amplifying bipolar transistor is connected to a VCE voltage source and a VBE voltage source for setting the respective bias voltage. At least two of the amplifiers are connected to different VDS (or VCE) and/or VGS (or VBE) voltage sources. A controller 21 may be provided to control some or all of the voltage sources, and such control may be dependent on the splitter input signal frequency. A method of optimising the mm-wave power amplifier includes measuring the power at the output of the signal combiner, and optionally at one or more of the amplifier outputs, and adjusting the voltages supplied by the voltage sources accordingly. It is desirable that amplifiers in parallel are identical to provide outputs of equal amplitude and phase, however at millimetre wavelengths small amplifier non-uniformities become significant. Separate control of one or more supply voltages can be used to adjust for amplifier differences.

Title: Crowdsourced event reporting and reconstruction
Inventor: Alexander Groh
IPC: G07C5/08
Filed: 2016-07-14
Abstract: A crowdsourcing server receives sensor data from vehicles within a vicinity of a location of an event at a time of the event in response to the vehicles being notified of an occurrence of the event. The sensor data includes sensor data of the vehicles sensed at the time of the event and possibly vehicle sensed data from prior to and after the event. The crowdsourcing server can receive a notification of an occurrence of an event and associate the sensor data with the event. The event can be reconstructed using the sensor data associated with the event. The crowdsourcing server may also receive sensor data from transportation system infrastructure (traffic cameras) within the vicinity of the location of the event, from the event time. A first vehicle may detect the occurrence of an event and notify the crowdsourcing server and other vehicles within a vicinity of the event at that time of the occurrence of the event. The other nearby vehicles will then transmit sensor data sensed at the time of the event to the crowdsourcing server. The first vehicle may also transmit its own sensor data to the crowdsourcing server. V2V and V2I communications may be used.
