Title: Communication system
Inventor: CHADI KHIRALLAH
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2017-01-06
Abstract: In a telecommunications system apparatus and methods are used to control transmission or reception of system information 20. The transmission of the system information uses a periodic transmission mode S610 in which at least part of the system information is transmitted at a regular periodic interval and/or an on-demand transmission mode S612 in which at least part of the system information is transmitted following a request for system information from at last one communication device in the system. The extent to which the at least one communication device is utilizing the on-demand transmission is determined S614 and represented by a utilization level. The on-demand transmission mode is then switched on or off S618 based on the determined utilization level. Other aspects include identifying required system information and configuring periodic intervals between transmission opportunities.

Title: System and method of 3D print modelling
Inventor: ANDREW JAMES BIGOS
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2017-07-06
Abstract: 3D print modelling, comprising: obtaining target virtual object 220 for 3D printing; evaluating target virtual object with respect to printability criteria to detect undesirable characteristics; generating 3D printable model data defining transparent matrix to be printed surrounding model 1920. The target virtual object may be obtained from a virtual environment at a user-selected moment within a video game. The printability criteria may be whether: a threshold amount of the target virtual object has zero thickness; the 3D printed model has a centre of gravity outside a perimeter of supports; the dimensions require altering in order to support itself. Generating the 3D printable model data may comprise calculating a bounding box that encompasses the maximum opposing extents of the model, and defining the transparent matrix to fill the unoccupied space between the model and the bounding box. Essentially the invention evaluates a model to be 3D printed from a computer game, to assess if it is stable enough to stay up, or if there is anything that could get easily detached, or is separate from the figure.
