Patent GB-2512590-A (GB)
Title: Method, apparatus and computer program for configuring device communications
Inventor: TURTINEN SAMULI
IPC: H04W8/00
Filed: 2013-04-02
Abstract: A method is disclosed in which a set of allowed discovery cycles is stored in an access node, the set consisting of a minimum discovery cycle and integer multiples thereof. Each discovery cycle defines only one interval for discovery, preferably spanning only one radio frame. The access node transmits in a cell an indication of a specific discovery cycle selected from the set. This selection may be in co-ordination with a device-to-device server or a proximity services server. The access node configures user equipment (UE) in the cell with a measurement gap which overlaps a subframe for discovery within the interval for discovery of a different cycle of the set, in use in a neighbour cell. Assistance information may be provided by the UE to the access node. This information may include the UEs required or suggested measurement gap cycle, or a range class perhaps defined by discovery signal transmission power, the modulation and coding scheme, or geographical distance. The transmitted indication may comprise an offset value, from which the specific cycle can be derived. The invention allows devices in different cells of, for example, an LTE network, to discover each other for device-to-device communication in a power-efficient, low-duty-cycle manner.

Title: A pipe coupling
Inventor: MILNES DAVID JOHN
IPC: F16L25/00
Filed: 2013-06-24
Abstract: A pipe coupling 10 comprises an elastomeric sleeve 10 and a clamping band 20. The elastomeric sleeve 10, comprises a substantially tubular body 11 having a substantially contiguous interior surface 12. At each end of the body 11 are provided circumferential sealing flaps 13 overlapping the outer surface 14 of the body 11 to define a partially enclosed channel 15. The clamping band comprises an elongate planar strip 21, opposing ends 22 of the strip 21 being connected by adjustment means 30. The ends 22 each comprise a plurality of fingers 23 adapted to interleave with one another. In use, the coupling 1 is inserted into the opposing ends of a pair of pipes 2a, 2b with dissimilar exterior profiles. After insertion into the ends of pipes 2a, 2b the clamping band 20 is lengthened and as a result, the sealing flaps 13 are urged into contact with the interior profile of the pipes 2a, 2b creating a secure seal between the sealing flaps 13 and the pipes 2a, 2b. The provision of fingers 23 helps spread the pressure applied by the band 20 to the flaps 13 over the full circumference of the flaps 13 thereby improving the quality and reliability of the seal.

Filed: 2014-02-04
Abstract: A method and system 100 for testing printed wiring boards, comprises a test development unit 110 configured to generate electric fields 111 in a first set of PWBs 130a-n. A failure detection unit 112 is used to detecting failures in the first set and based on the generated electric fields to create a dielectric life curve of the first set 113. Based on the dielectric life curve, a screening time and voltage are defined to screen for premature failures in a second set of PWBs 131a-n. The parameters are selected by the screening parameter development unit 114 and transmitted to screening unit 120 to conduct screening of the second set of PWBs. The screening unit includes an electric field generation unit 121 and failure detection unit 122. The voltage applied to the first set of PWB can be a multiple of an operating value of the first set to simulate a life duration of the PWBs in a compacted time. The screening time and voltage are selected based on a screening curve generated by fitting the dielectric curve onto a data point corresponding to a prematurely failed PWB.

Title: Disk rotary valve having opposed acting fronts
Inventor: PATTAKOS MANOUSOS
IPC: F01L7/06
Filed: 2015-01-20
Abstract: A disk rotary valve assembly having a disk rotary valve 1 mounted rotatably in a cylinder head 5 of a reciprocating positive displacement machine, and having two oppositely arranged fronts 8, the periphery of which is associated in use with a corresponding lip 13 adjacent to the chamber ports 12 of the machine, forming a gas-tight seal. The arrangement of the fronts 8 and the lips 13 results in the force that is applied as a result of processes within the chamber being applied equally and oppositely on the fronts 8, with a relatively small proportion of the force being applied radially on the valve assembly. This arrangement allows for less wear on the bearings of the valve, and also reduces the possibility of radial movement or misalignment of the valve. The disk rotary valve and its axis may be displaceable to produce a variable intake and exhaust valve overlap i.e. variable valve timing, by moving the valve 1 relative to the cylinder head 5 and the lips 13. The fronts 8 of the disk rotary valve 1 may be conical surfaces.

Title: Providing on-demand and broadcast television
Inventor: MURISON JANE
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2010-03-26
Abstract: A television electronic programme guide (EPG) displaying current, past and future TV schedules and allowing a user to retrieve a previously broadcast programme over a one-to-one communication network, such as the internet. If a user-selected programme is currently being broadcast, the system may retrieve the programme from the broadcast network using a broadcast receiver. If a user-selected programme is scheduled for future broadcast, the system determines if it is available for immediate streaming over the communication network; if it is, the programme may be viewed, but if it is not, the programme may be scheduled to be recorded by a PVR and a reminder message may be displayed to the viewer at the future time of broadcast. Prior to online streaming of TV content, the system may check its data storage device to see if the programme is already stored on the PVR for local viewing. This on-demand television system allows any TV programme to be immediately delivered to the user irrespective of any broadcasting schedule.
