Title: Hybrid joint manufacturing
Inventor: BAKER DAVID
IPC: B29C65/56
Filed: 2012-10-22
Abstract: A method for forming a joint between a fibre reinforced composite component and a metallic component and a joint are provided. The metallic component and the composite component each define a joint surface for mating with the joint surface of the other to join the two components together and the composite component defines a free surface opposed to the joint surface thereof. The joint surface of the metallic component defines an array of pins extending therefrom with each pin defining a pin head 9 at an end distal from the joint surface. The method includes the steps of pressing together the joint surfaces of the two components whereby to cause the array of pins to penetrate through the fibre reinforcing material, and modifying the effective cross sectional shape of the pin heads whereby to increase the constraint applied to the composite component against peeling of the composite component from the joint surface of the metallic component. The pin heads may be deformed by deflecting a tip of the pin, riveting, spreading or splitting to modify the cross-section. Alternatively, a retaining means, cap or mesh may be attached to the pin heads. The pin heads extend over the free surface of the composite component.

Title: Emergency power off island in hard disk drive controller operable to save critical data to non-volatile memory
Inventor: CHATRADHI SRIDHAR
IPC: G06F1/30
Filed: 2013-12-02
Abstract: The invention relates to an emergency power off (EPO) power island for saving critical data to nonÂ­-volatile memory in the event of an EPO condition, for use in a hard-disk drive (HDD) storage device. A hard-disk drive controller (HDC) features an EPO power island. The EPO power island includes a controller for detecting an EPO condition and internal memory. A voltage regulator supplies power from hard-disk spindle motor back EMF only to the EPO power island and the non-volatile memory. Thus, the remainder of the HDC is isolated from the EPO power island so that it will not corrupt the data as the HDC's power supply is decaying. Using the power provided by the voltage regulator, the EPO power island transfers critical data from the internal memory of the power island to a non-volatile memory external to the island, such as to a flash memory chip. The power island controller can suspend signal transmissions which would change the data internal to the power island. The power island can have an oscillator which generates a reference clock signal for the EPO power island, the frequency of the clock signal being lower than that of the system clock of the hard-disk controller.

Title: Improved contention mechanism for access to random resource units in an 802.11 channel
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2015-10-23
Abstract: In an 802.11ax network with an access point, a trigger frame offers random resource units to nodes, having also EDCA buffers, for data uplink OFDMA communication. To improve management of the random resource units, the backoff parameters for OFDMA access to the random RUs are determined based on EDCA backoff parameters. EDCA prioritization is thus provided within the OFDMA access, while keeping compliance with 802.11ax. Another improvement takes place after transmitting data either in EDCA access or OFDMA access. Since some EDCA-compliant data may be consumed by an OFDMA access and vice-versa, the EDCA and OFDMA backoff counters may be decorrelated from the real content of the EDCA buffers. The improvement thus consists in modifying at least one non-zero EDCA or OFDMA backoff value based on the data remaining in the traffic queues. The backoff counters are thus kept consistent with the content of the EDCA buffers.
