Title: Load convergence system for tethered aerofoil wind propulsion
Inventor: JAMES IAN MCGARLEY
IPC: B63H9/069
Filed: 2020-10-01
Abstract: A system receives and passively manages incident force vectors from at least one tethered aerofoil and from one or more other sources so as to minimise the torque exerted on the structural body of a craft by these forces to substantially zero in the roll, pitch and, in some embodiments, yaw axes. This imposed-torque-minimising system allows a high-powered propulsion system based upon tethered aerofoils to propel a relatively small craft without forcibly tilting it to port, to starboard, forward or aft, which is an important prerequisite for safe, controllable operation of such craft in most cases. The tethered aerofoil may be attached to curved tracks 30, which are mounted on a rotatable plate 31, so that the imposed force always acts through a central point 40. A hydrofoil may be attached by a second curved track 40 mounted on an independently rotatable lower plate 31.

Title: Modulated radiation beam alignment for medical linear accelerator
Inventor: NICHOLAS G ZACHAROPOULOS
IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 2021-08-24
Abstract: Optimal radiation beam alignment parameters are determined and stored for each of N gantry 102 angles. The beam alignment parameters may adjust a current supplied to bending magnets 404 of the LINAC 100 and so change an angle 408 and direction of the radiation beam 104. An optimum beam alignment parameter for a gantry angle may be determined by adjusting the beam alignment parameter until a centre of a radiation field of the radiation beam in a radiation transmission image (e.g. from an EPID) is at a centre of a shadow of a radiation opaque marker (602, figure 6), which may be placed at a radiation isocentre. The beam alignment parameters stored for the N gantry angles may be used to adjust the beam steering current as the gantry is rotated through any arbitrary gantry angle.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: Caroline liang
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2022-03-31
Abstract: A system is disclosed in which a radio access network node (base station) performs channel adaptation of a radio interface between a user equipment (UE) and the radio access network node. The UE receives information identifying a condition for triggering transmission of a periodic channel quality report. The UE transmits the report when the condition is met at a particular channel quality reporting occasion. The condition is at least one of, a change in channel quality, a movement of the UE, a location of the UE, a difference in location of the UE or a time condition. Alternatively, the radio access network node predicts, using an artificial intelligence / machine learning model, a variation point for a channel quality value associated with the channel. The radio access network node then transmits, to the UE, information identifying at least one condition relating to the at least one variation point, for triggering at least one periodic channel quality report by the UE for reporting an actual channel quality value associated with the at least one variation point.
