Title: Control method and apparatus for an aircraft when taxiing
Inventor: GEORGE HOWELL
IPC: B64C25/50
Filed: 2015-06-01
Abstract: A method of controlling the motion of a turning aircraft 30 during taxiing on the ground, the aircraft having a steerable landing gear, for example a nose landing gear 10, operating in a free-to-caster mode, includes (a) ascertaining the rotational position Ɵ of the steerable landing gear relative to the longitudinal axis L of the aircraft (b) receiving a control instruction 38 that would, if effected, continue turning of the aircraft in the same direction away from the longitudinal axis, and (c) modifying 36 the control instruction so that the angle between the rotational position of the steerable landing gear and the longitudinal axis will be lower than the angle that would otherwise be observed had the control instruction been effected and not so modified. The risk of damage to the steerable landing gear through over-steering may thus be reduced. Control instruction 38 may comprise differential braking, reduced thrust on one side, or altering an aerodynamic surface of the plane

Title: Automatic train control apparatus and automatic train control method
Inventor: MAKI KENTAROH
IPC: B61L15/00
Filed: 2015-06-11
Abstract: An automatic train control system 501 has a vehicle characteristics learning unit 505 that learns vehicle characteristics based on the train speed and a braking command and estimated using a unit 507. An adoption judgment unit 508 determined whether the characteristics should be adopted in a braking command, and an adoption unit 509 adopts the characteristics in a braking command only if judgment unit 508 determines that the characteristics should be adopted. Judgment unit 508 may adjust the measured deceleration and shift it on a time axis to correct for vehicle characteristics, and may determine whether to adopt characteristics according to how often the measured or commanded deceleration is zero or negative, corresponding to wheel slide or rapid release and reapplication of the brake. The system may avoid learning characteristics during wheel slide or other abnormal situations that may not be obviously abnormal or impossible, avoiding capturing inaccurate performance data.

Title: Methods and systems for estimating missing data
Inventor: HO MING CHAN
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2015-04-24
Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for recreating missing data packets of a data session established between a first communications router and a second communications router through an aggregated connection. The first communications router receives data packets belonging to a data session from the second communications router through the aggregated connection. The data packets are destined to a first host reachable through the first communications router. The first communications router transmits the data packets to the first host and determines whether there is one or more missing data packets. If there is one or more missing data packets, the first communications router determines global sequence number(s) (GSN) and per tunnel sequence numbers (PTSN) of the one or more missing data packets and recreates payload(s) of the one or more missing data packet(s). One or more new data packets are then transmitted to the first host. The one or more new data packets comprise payload of the one or more missing data packets and are assigned with GSN(s) and PTSN(s) of the one or more missing data packets.

Title: Automatic heating-system filling apparatus
Inventor: BERNARD COOK
IPC: G05D7/00
Filed: 2016-06-10
Abstract: An automatic heating system filling apparatus 10, such as for a sealed central heating system, comprises: first 18 and second 20 automatically-controllable fluid-flow valves liquidly communicable with a heating system fluid supply 14 and a fluid-pressure sensor 22 downstream of the second fluid-flow valve which monitors the pressure in a heating system 16; and an electronic controller 28 which controls the first the second valves based on an output of the sensor. The controller increases the fluid pressure in the heating system to a predetermined level, replenishing fluid lost from the heating system, and includes a testing circuit which automatically tests whether the pressure measured by the sensor changes when one or the other of the first and second valves is closed. The system allows re-pressurising fluid flow from the fluid supply to the heating system by opening the first and second fluid-flow valves only if no change in pressure is measured by the testing circuit, indicating that both valves are closing correctly. This safety feature prevents overfilling of the system. A notification circuit is also included which outputs a notification when either valve is operated by the controller. Notifications may be sent to central server for diagnosis.

IPC: H04W16/20
Filed: 2014-05-23
Abstract: "Spoof' paging messages including the TMSI of a user equipment (129) known to be a vicinity are transmitted with a relatively high periodicity in an indoor cluster of presence nodes having the same Location Area Code (LAC) (113-121) and the node which receives the paging response from the user equipment is recorded, thus giving an indication of presence (and location) with a fine granularity . An additional presence node is located at the entrance to the indoor cluster so that the TMSI and IMSI of the user equipment can be obtained. The invention can advantageously be employed in a retail store where a fine granularity in tracking subscriber movements around the store is desired. To conserve the user equipment's battery life, spoof paging messages are not sent to those user equipments which enter the vicinity on a regular basis, such as employees of the retail store.
