Title: Methods and devices for accessing a radio access network
Inventor: CAROLINE JACTAT
IPC: H04W74/00
Filed: 2017-01-05
Abstract: A wireless communication device, also known as User Equipment (UE), is configured with configuration information 202 which comprises rules for selecting one or more of a plurality of access procedures to be used by the wireless communication device for accessing services provided by a Radio Access Network (RAN). The RAN may be a New Radio/5G network. Access procedures may include a grant-based procedure; a grant-free procedure; a fallback procedure to be used in cases of failure of an initial access attempt, a procedure including the use of a signaling message; accessing an alternative radio access network. The signaling message may be a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message. The rules may be based on the type of service required by the UE such as; transmission and/or reception of data, transmission and/or reception of a voice call, a request for System Information, transmission of a Location Update; transmission of an exceptional event. An interworking interface may be established between the RAN and an alternative Radio Access Network. The rules may be adapted by the wireless communication device based on results of previous access attempts.

Title: Autonomous peril control
Inventor: DAVID B KELLEY
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2017-02-23
Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle includes detecting at least one object having a collision risk with the vehicle and changing between autonomous control levels accordingly. The control level is chosen in part based on a peril factor which includes a probability of collision (dynamics factor) and severity of the resulting potential collision. The detection may be performed by subsystem 50a which may take input from sensors 110 on the vehicle such as RADAR, LIDAR or cameras, data provided by vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, dedicated short range communication (DSRC). Once the object is identified 50b the information may be put into a fuzzy logic processor 50c, along with the dynamics factor 50d, the output of which determines the peril factor. The peril factor may include a weighting for different objects such vehicles, cyclists or potholes. If the peril factor exceeds a threshold the vehicle may be placed in a different mode; driver mode or autonomous mode (630 fig.18).

Title: A method of communicating
Inventor: WILLIAM PAUL ELLIS
IPC: G06Q20/06
Filed: 2018-03-22
Abstract: Communication between a sender and recipient via an intermediary using time locked smart contracts – one on an open public blockchain, and one on a private blockchain – to transfer a token between the two blockchains. To transfer a private token from the private blockchain to the public blockchain, the sender uses the private smart contract to record the result of a cryptographic operation on a secret, such as hashing the secret, and information about the private token 320. The intermediary accesses the recorded result and information 340 and arranges the public smart contract to create a public token associated with the recipient and to record the secret on the public blockchain if the public smart contract receives the secret before a defined time 350. The private smart contract transfers ownership of the private token from the sender to the intermediary and records transaction verification data on the private blockchain if the secret is received by a later defined time 330. The intermediary accesses the secret on the public blockchain and provides this secret to the private smart contract 363, then accesses the resulting transaction verification data on the private blockchain and records this on the public blockchain 365.

Title: Incorporating structures into reeled pipelines
Inventor: Irio Rodrigues Freire Neto
IPC: F16L1/20
Filed: 2018-12-14
Abstract: In a method of joining a structure (e.g. Pipeline end accessory such as a pipeline end termination (PLET) or a pig launcher/receiver) to a water-filled pipeline aboard a reel-lay vessel, a trailing end portion of the pipeline is suspended upright on a reel-lay tower. Water is drained from the trailing end portion while being retained in an inclined portion of the pipeline extending from the tower to a reel of the vessel, and in a spooled portion of the pipeline coiled on the reel. The structure is joined to a trailing end of the pipeline after inserting a pig into the trailing end portion through the trailing end. Pumping additional water into a leading end of the pipeline on the reel propels the pig from the trailing end portion into a conduit of the structure while flooding the trailing end portion. This expels air through a port of the structure that was trapped in the trailing end portion between the pig and the structure. Aspects include propelling the pig toward the leading end of the pipeline under pressure of air injected into the trailing end of the pipeline.

Title: System and method for classifying vehicle behaviour
Inventor: BENJAMIN THOMAS CHEHADE
IPC: G08G5/00
Filed: 2019-03-29
Abstract: A method for classifying aircraft behaviour comprises receiving S100 aircraft data from an aircraft; determining S102 whether the received aircraft data comprises identification information for the aircraft; in response to a determination that the received aircraft data comprises identification information, using said identification information to classify the behaviour of the aircraft; and in response to a determination that the received aircraft data does not comprise identification information, obtaining the position of the aircraft and comparing the obtained position to an expected route for the aircraft to classify the behaviour of the aircraft. If an aircraft identity is received then it may be checked as to whether it is a duplicate S104 of another received identity (spoofed). The identity also may be checked whether it corresponds to a known flight path S108, or flight number S106. The radar cross section of the aircraft may be compared to that expected from the aircraft type S113. If any of the checks are failed then an alert S114 may be generated to flag the aircraft as suspicious. The method may be implemented as part of an IFF system.

Abstract: Tiling engine and methods of use in a graphics processing system which involves hierarchically tiling and rendering primitives (geometries e.g triangles) within a Hybrid Tile Based Renderer (TBR). The tiling engine includes: a chain of sorting units comprising a top level sorting unit (404 fig 1) followed by one or more lower level sorting units (410), wherein: the top level sorting unit determines which regions of render space (500) each primitive (A,B), at least partially, falls within (occupies); and for each identified region, store an identifier (A or B) of that primitive in a top level sorting unit queue (or buffer) 510,512,514,516: each of the lower level sorting units is configured to select one or more queues of a preceding sorting unit in the chain to process and for each queue, determine which of a plurality of sub-regions (patches) of the queue region at least partially, falls within and to store a primitive identifier (A or B) in a lower level queue 710,712,714,716 associated with this sub-region: and an output unit configured to output the primitives identified in the queues of the last lower level sorting unit in the chain on a queue by queue basis. The top-level sorting unit may deploy a boundary box method of primitive occupancy assessment whilst the lower level sorting unit may deploy a more accurate method. The tiler or rendering engine is particularly applicable to mobile handheld units due to the efficient use of memory.
