Title: Tuned seismic source arrays
Inventor: WALTER SÖLLNER
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2018-10-23
Abstract: A method of seismic surveying comprises deploying a plurality of signal sources 37A-37E including a first signal source and a second signal source. The first signal source is positioned at a first distance from a subsurface location 352 in a geological formation 370 and the second signal source is positioned at a second distance from the subsurface location that is less than the first distance. A first activation of the first signal source is performed at a first time, and a second activation of the second signal source is performed at a second time. A particular activation characteristic (e.g. phase difference, time delay) of the first and second activations differs based on differences between the first distance and the second distance. The sources may operate at different frequencies and seismic signals may include a low frequency component based on the frequency difference. The sources may include a monopole and a dipole.

Title: Improvements in and relating to telecommunications networks
Inventor: MEHRDAD SHARIAT
IPC: H04W24/02
Filed: 2019-09-12
Abstract: A telecommunications network feature, such as a network slice, is configured on the basis of both terminal analytics data (TAD) from user equipment (UE) and network analytics data (NAD). The data may be combined in the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF). Analytics data may be acquired from the UE according to an event-based trigger based on the QoE, the average packet latency, the packet error rate or the average packet jitter. To enable TAD settings on the UE, the UE may exchange configuration update messages with the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). The NWDAF may subscribe to the AMF to be informed of all registration requests which include a TAD information element. The NWDAF may compare knowledge of past load levels for network slices to recorded QoE, determine times and locations where QoE drops significantly for UEs on a given slice, then create a new selection policy. The scheme may be used for intelligent slice selection in a 5G network.

Title: A method for separating a non-hydraulic phase from a hydraulic phase in a recyclable industry product
Inventor: ALI KAMALI MOAVENI
IPC: C22B7/04
Filed: 2020-06-29
Abstract: A method of separating an iron containing phase 110 from a sodium silicate and/or calcium silicate hydraulic phase 120 in steel making slag by exposing the slag to an environment which comprises water and carbon dioxide whereby the hydraulic phase 120 is hydrated. The slag is ground either before or during mixing with water. The hydration reaction is performed at a raised pressure (e.g. 10 bar or more) at room temperature, for example in an autoclave. The method produces particles 200 comprising a core 110 of the iron containing phase surrounded by an inner layer 125 of hydrated silica and an outer layer 140 of precipitated calcium carbonate. The layers 125 & 140 can be removed from the core 110 by grinding, with the core 110 then being separated for recycling into a steel making process. The method can be used to recycle the iron in BOF and LD slags which have high phosphorous content in the calcium silicate as the phosphorous 130 is accumulated in the layers 125 & 140.
