Inventor: LIONEL GILMARTIN
IPC: E04F15/02
Filed: 2018-12-20
Abstract: A clip for a panel assembly system, a panel assembly system, and a method of assembling such a panel assembly system are disclosed. The clip is a mechanically intermediate component by means of which functional or decorative spars or planks of the system are secured to supporting and in most cases underlying framework members. The clip itself comprises a body portion whose cross- sectional shape comprises a web portion and a pair of spaced apart flanges both being provided on a first front side of the web portion and projecting upwardly therefrom away from the web portion. Each of said flanges is provided at their remote ends with nib formations which project from the ends of said flanges in a direction substantially parallel with the web portion such that together, the web portion, the flanges and the nibs define at least a pair of spaced apart essentially parallel channels extending over at least a portion of the width or height of said clip. On the second, rear side of the web portion of the clip, there is further provided one or more elongate ribs which are of a cross-sectional shape such that said one or more ribs defines at least a corresponding number of grooves with the rear side of said web portion. Each framework member of the system is provided with formations which are complementary to the shape of the elongate ribs so that any clip can be slidingly connected to any framework member. I n preferred embodiments, the elongate ribs of the clips and the complementary formations provided on the framework members are dovetail-like in configuration, with corresponding formations of the framework members being received within the grooves defined by and behind the elongate ribs of the clips. Most advantageously, the clip is further provided with one or more elongate projections extending beyond at least one end of the web portion and generally parallel with the one or more elongate ribs such that when first and second identical clips are connected to any sing le framework member one after another, the remote free ends of the one or more elongate projections of the second clip ultimately abut the first clip thereby ensuring that the web portions of respective first and second clips are spaced apart by a distance substantially equal to the length of the one or more elongate projections. The cross-sectional shape of the spars, at least behind their functional or decorative surface, is further complementary with the flange and nib formations provided on the clips such that spars can be manually push- or snap-fitted between two or more appropriately positioned clips having already been connected to the framework members.

Title: Telecommunications network
Inventor: JEROME AROKKIAM
IPC: H04W8/22
Filed: 2022-01-10
Abstract: A Customer premises Equipment (CPE) (310) connects a customer to an operator’s network (200) and may also provide a (wireless) local area network (300) for connecting user devices (320). The CPE may collect diagnostics data on each user device, and summarised diagnostics data may then be periodically transmitted to a network management system (220) in the operator’s network for analysis as part of a management service (e.g. identifying faults). The collected dataset may identify each device by its Media Access Control (MAC) address, but this may be a randomly generated MAC address, which will be periodically updated, so that the MAC address is not a persistent identifier for a device. The method of this invention includes steps of: obtaining training data including a plurality of records, wherein each record relates to a user device, the training data specifying, for each record: a MAC address, and a set of performance metrics; training a machine learning model, based on the obtained training data, to output a MAC address based on the set of performance metrics; obtaining further data including a plurality of records, wherein each record relates to a device and includes a set of performance metrics; determining a MAC address for each record of the further data by inputting the set of performance metrics of the further data to the trained machine learning model; analysing the set of performance metrics for a plurality of records of the further data having the same determined MAC address.

Abstract: System for error detection comprising a plurality of industrial assets 12, a control unit 14 connected to the industrial assets to control the operation such that the assets operate in parallel to each other, an error detection unit adapted to detect a discrepancy in the operation of a particular asset. Upon detecting the discrepancy in the operation of the asset, the detection unit determines if an input value for that asset is similar to the inputs of the other assets, and determines whether an output value of the asset is similar to the outputs of the other assets. If the input values are similar and the output values are different, the error detection unit generates an alarm. The system may be a process model adaptation system wherein the error detection unit adapts a process model for the particular industrial asset. If the input value is not similar to the other inputs, the detection unit may determine if the input value of the asset was accounted for in the development of a process model for the particular asset. If the input value was accounted for, the error detection unit may generate an alarm indicating an error in the asset.
