Title: Curved electronic devices
Inventor: WILLIAM REEVES
IPC: H05K3/46
Filed: 2019-12-17
Abstract: A method of producing an curved electronic device, such as a liquid crystal device (LCD) display, the method comprising constructing a substantially planar stack 10a of plastics film layers by bonding the layers with an adhesive, bending the stack into a stressed (e.g. curved) configuration (e.g. using a pressing tool 9) and selectively applying a treatment (e.g. UV irradiation or heat application) to the adhesive whilst in the stressed/curved configuration. The treatment causes the adhesive to cure, thus increasing its cohesion and holding the deformed stack in its curved configuration. A transparent cover component 16 may be added to the stack. A variation of the method produces a liquid crystal cell device (such as a display) in which at least two liquid crystal cell layers (50b,50d – figure 6) containing pixel electrodes and polarising layers (50a,50c,50e – figure 6) are included in the stack.

Title: Communication system
Inventor: CHADI KHIRALLAH
IPC: H04W48/02
Filed: 2020-04-17
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for controlling user equipment (UE) access to a cell of a closed access group (CAG) when the CAG is selected manually by a user of the UE based on a CAG identifier. A base station receiving a message from a UE initiating communications determines access based on subscription information associated with the UE. The subscription information is obtained from a core network function by an Access and Mobility Function (AMF). The UE may be allowed access or handed over to another cell with the same CAG identifier. Access may be restricted to at least one service in the cell and/or in another cell with the same CAG identifier (e.g. a dual connectivity or carrier aggregation service). The core network function may be a Unified Data Management Function (UDM) or Authentication Server Function (AUSF) which can add the CAG identifier to a list of allowed identifiers associated with the UE if the UE is not subscribed to the CAG. A base station holds a list of CAG identifiers for cells a UE is allowed to access and obtains information indicating a change to the list when the UE is in a RRC Inactive state.

Title: Simulating hydraulic fracturing geometry propagation using a differential stress and pattern-based model
Inventor: SHANG ZHANG
IPC: G06F30/00
Filed: 2019-05-09
Abstract: The disclosure presents a technique to generate a fracture model using a differential stress map and model inputs. The technique simulates the fracture model using fracture fronts, initiated at perforations of a perforation stage of a hydraulic fracturing (HF) wellbore. Each fracture front is evaluated using a propagation step of a fracture model process. Using the relative differential stress states, a fracture pattern is composited to the fracture model. At each propagation step, the total energy available from the simulated HF fluid being pumped into the wellbore location is reduced by the amount necessary to generate the computed fractures. Once the remaining energy is reduced to a level where no further fractures can be created, or if a map boundary is encountered, the fracture model process terminates. The generated fracture model can be communicated to update HF job plans, wellbore placements, and other uses of the fracture model.

Inventor: PAUL BENJAMIN STEVENS
IPC: B64C9/32
Filed: 2021-12-22
Abstract: A high-altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) aircraft having aeroelastic span loaded fixed wing(s) 1, aspect ratio greater than 15, wing loading less than 6 kg/m², and spoilers 6’ distributed across the wing span. Each spoiler is located chordwise adjacent the wing pressure centre. Sensors (e.g. strain gauges, attitude and/or pressure sensors) allow a spoiler control system to determine at least one quantity selected from: lift, pitch and roll, bending and torsional strain at points or regions of the wing span, net speed and roll and pitch angle of the wing. The spoiler can be activated to reduce local lift in spoiler location in response to the determined quantities. The gust alleviation control system may reduce HAPS vulnerability to hazardous turbulence by activating particular individual spoilers in response to detecting hazardous errors while descending through the troposphere, reducing wing shape deformation. All spoilers may operate simultaneously for rapid descent mode. The aircraft may recharge from solar power while operating in stratosphere.
