Title: Method of filling a gas discharge lamp
Inventor: RICHARD CHERRY
IPC: H01J61/24
Filed: 2016-08-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for filling a gas discharge lamp 10 which involves supplying a gas (G) to a manifold 11 via an input line 12 and maintaining pressure within the manifold above a threshold of atmospheric pressure (A) while an output 13 is open, thereby ensuring that atmospheric contaminants or impurities, such as water vapour, cannot mingle with gas within the manifold. When a lamp is coupled to the output line 13 pressure rises to a specified level which is above the threshold, as measured by a pressure sensor 14, and the supply of gas is shut off. The lamp 10 is then sealed and decoupled so that the output line 13 will be exposed to atmosphere.

Title: Method for improving process/equipment fault diagnosis
Inventor: XU CHENG
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2017-09-04
Abstract: Error detection detect discrepancies in industrial equipment by comparing a particular asset (or plant) to similar industrial assets running in parallel to the particular asset. An error detection unit detects a difference between an estimated and actual output of the asset. Based on the magnitude of the difference, the error detection unit determines whether an input value of the particular asset is similar to input values of the plurality of industrial assets and whether an output value of the particular asset is similar to output values of the plurality of industrial assets. If the input value of the particular asset is similar to the input values of the plurality of industrial assets and the output value of the particular asset is not similar to the output values of the plurality of industrial assets, then the error detection system sets an alarm. Alternatively, if the input value of the particular asset is not similar to the input values of the plurality of industrial assets, the error detection system considers whether to adapt the process model for the particular asset to account for a new process state or condition not considered when creating the process model for the particular asset. The invention can be applied to a wide range of plant including a power plant utilizing pulverizers where coal quality can vary under different conditions.

Title: Predictive bearers in a wireless communication network
Inventor: RUTH BROWN
IPC: H04W76/10
Filed: 2018-03-28
Abstract: Within a wireless communication network, historical device use is used to predict likely future activity of the device. A bearer can be established based on the predicted activity to avoid a delay in establishing a bearer for a communication session. Data on device usage over a period of time from communication sessions the device participates in is collected. At least some of the communication sessions are supported by a default bearer and a dedicated bearer. From the collected data, a likelihood a dedicated bearer will be established for the device at one or more different times values is calculated. If the likelihood of establishment at a time value exceeds a specified threshold then it is predicted a bearer will be required. A dedicated bearer will then be established for the device for the predicted time value.
