Title: Aircraft ice protection system and method
Inventor: ROBERT SAMUEL WILSON
IPC: B64D15/12
Filed: 2017-06-08
Abstract: The aircraft ice protection system 24 has a lamp 32, configured to emit infrared radiation towards an inner surface 28 of the aircrafts skin 22, and an electric power source 34. The lamp may be a xenon or krypton gas-discharge lamp, with a reflector 44 to direct the infrared radiation towards the skin. Alternatively, a structural member (fig.5,52) of the aircraft supporting the skin, such as a spar, stiffener or bulkhead, may be polished or mirrored to be more reflective than the skin surface. The skin may be a fibre-reinforced composite material and the skin surface may be provided with an absorptive surface treatment (fig.5,56), such as matte black paint or an anodic coating. The infrared radiation wavelength may be in the mid-infrared (MWIR) or near-infrared (NIR) range. A sensor 40, such as a pyrometer, may send a feedback signal 42 of the inner skin temperature to a lamp controller 36, causing pulsed activation of the lamp. Multiple lamps may be used, activated separately or in sequence. Light guides (fig.7,58) may direct the infrared radiation from the lamps towards common, or different, portions the inner surface. The sensor and the lamps may be thermally conductively coupled to the skin.

Abstract: A tourniquet tensioning device 102 comprises a tourniquet engagement portion 104 having a retaining member 108 that can be bulbous or hemisphere shaped, and can have an aperture (210, Fig 2). A winding arm 106 extends from a second end 105 of the tourniquet engagement portion 104. The winding arm 106 comprises a securing means 110 (e.g. a hook). In use the engagement portion 104 of the tensioning device 102 engages with the tourniquet. The tension of the tourniquet is adjusted by a user rotating the winding arm 106. When at a desired tension the tensioning device 102 and tourniquet can be secured by engagement of the securing means 110 with the tourniquet. This can involve sliding the winding arm 106 between the tourniquet and a persons’ skin and attaching the securing means 110 (e.g. a hook) to the tourniquet.

Title: Image-capturing apparatus, accessory apparatus and control method therefor
Inventor: HIRONORI SEKI
IPC: G03B17/14
Filed: 2017-07-20
Abstract: An image-capturing apparatus (200) communicates with an accessory apparatus (100), particularly an interchangeable lens using a clock/communication request channel (LCLK/RTS) and first and second data communication channels (DLC, DCL). A camera controller (205) switches its communication method between a first communication method in which data communication is performed while a clock signal is alternately switched between first and second levels and a second communication method in which data communication is performed in response to a communication request from the camera controller to the accessory apparatus, which is output by switching a signal level of the clock/communication request channel from the first level to the second level. The camera controller, in response to detecting a communication error in the first and second communication methods, transmits to the accessory apparatus through the second data communication channel a specific signal for restoring the communication while keeping the signal level of the clock/communication request channel at the first level.

Title: Transparent upgrade of a system service or application
Inventor: MARC DE KRUIJF
IPC: G06F8/656
Filed: 2018-03-16
Abstract: A system for updating an application (e.g. patching a server application) without requiring a restart comprises a processor which starts 212 a second application instance 204 while a first application instance 202 is still running. The original application instance transfers 216 a first set of (background) state information to the new application instance. The second application instance declares readiness for activation when the transfer is complete, and the first application instance deactivates in response. Deactivation includes handing over 224 a second set of (foreground) state information to the second application instance and releasing single-access resources. The second application instance then activates by receiving the second set of state information, and accessing the single-access resources. The second application instance declares 230 that activation is complete and the first application instance terminates 232 in response to the declaration. A master application can coordinate operations between the first and second application instances.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Interference Mitigation for a MU-MIMO wireless Communication network
Inventor: ANTONY JAMIN
IPC: H04B7/0452
Filed: 2018-05-18
Abstract: A first wireless station 1 (e.g. an access point) forms a MU-MIMO group comprising a plurality of further wireless stations (2a, 2d, 2g) and if the number of members of the group is less than the number of beams which the first wireless station can simultaneously handle (e.g. the number of baseband chains it has) then it uses multiple beams (6, 10a-10d) to communicate with at least one member 2d of the MU-MIMO group. A decoded output data stream is produced using data transmitted over more than one of the multiple beams. The first wireless device produces a respective data stream from each of the multiple received beams associated with an individual user and preferably periodically selects which of these data streams is to be output as a decoded received signal for that user. The decoded received signal thus combines different temporal sections of different data streams. The periodic selection may take place per OFDM symbol and may be based on forward error correction (FEC) results. In another embodiment a combined data stream may be generated by multiplexing data streams from each of the multiple beams associated with the individual user.

Filed: 2017-11-17
Abstract: A flame simulation device comprises a light source (1), a flame imaging element (3), an imaging plate (4), a light reflection member, and a dummy fuel (5). The light reflection member serves as a rotary light reflection assembly (2). The light source (1) projects light to a light reflection strip (21) of a rotating drum, the light is reflected by the light reflection strip (21) of the rotary light reflection assembly (2) to the flame imaging element (3) to form a flame image, and the formed flame image forms a flame image on the dummy fuel (5) by means of the imaging plate (4). A real image of a simulated flame is reflected to the other side of the imaging plate (4) by means of a mirror surface of the imaging plate (4) to form a virtual image of the simulated flame on the dummy fuel (5) and it is difficult to see a real image of the simulated flame in a normal working state, and accordingly the simulated flame is bright and has good dynamic effect.
