Title: System and method for rack over provisioning and intelligent power management
Inventor: Henrique Oliveira
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2015-08-11
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for managing an application of power from first and second power sources to a plurality of components mounted within an equipment rack. The method involves determining the number of components located within the equipment rack, and also determining a maximum power available from each of the first and second power sources. For each one of the components, first and second power budgets are determined. The first power budget represents an amount of power available to each one of the components when both of the first and second power sources are available for use, and the second power budget represents a power available to each when only the second power source is available for use. The method enables using a portion of power available from each of the first and second power sources to power the plurality of components, and using a rack management system to receive the first and second power budgets, and to apply the second power budget when a power loss condition causes the first power source to become unavailable.

Title: Method for operating an internal combustion engine
Inventor: Chris BURGESS
IPC: F02D41/30
Filed: 2018-11-09
Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine (10, figure 1) in a transition operating mode comprises determining an initial fuel oxidizer ratio threshold (iFORlimit) and a demanded fuel oxidizer ratio (dFORlimit) for a fuel mixture. If the dFORlimit exceeds the iFORlimit, the engine is temporally operated in a raised response mode, in which the iFORlimit increased to a raised fuel oxidizer ratio threshold (rFORlimit), and a fuel mixture having the demanded fuel oxidizer ratio is supplied. Preferably, the engine is operated in the raised response mode up to a predefined first time period. The engine may return to a normal response mode after the raised response mode is no longer required for at least a predefined second time period and a further time period may be set in dependence on a time period the engine has been continuously operated in the raised response mode. The rFORlimit may be calculated from an engine parameter, at least one of which may be related to speed, torque or fuel injection amount, preferably by means of multiplying the iFORlimit with a correction parameter that may be based on a table data set. A fuel and intake air supply control device is also claimed.

Abstract: A method for a user equipment (UE) to receive downlink control information (DCI) over a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the DCI being in accordance with at least one of a first DCI format and a second DCI format. The DCI indicates at least one communication resource to be used for transmitting Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback at a symbol or sub-slot level for the data received over a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). The DCI format used indicates whether a timing window in which downlink data is to be transmitted is shorter or longer than a slot length. When the UE receives downlink data during the timing window it transmits the corresponding HARQ-ACK using the indicated resource in the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). The DCI format used may be 1_0 or 1_1 and the resource indicated may be the position of a symbol or a sub-slot. The invention may be used for Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) in a 5G New Radio network such as for vehicular communications, autonomous cars, high resolution video streaming and smart city services.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring biological electrical activity
Inventor: CHARLES NDUKA
IPC: A61B5/0478
Filed: 2019-04-02
Abstract: Apparatus measuring biological electrical activity using a plurality of sensors, eg EMG, in contact with a human or animal. A signal injector inputs a reference signal into the body at a frequency different to that of biological electrical activities. The plurality of sensors each detect a magnitude of the reference signal and biological electrical signals. A lift detection unit receives the signals from the sensors, determining the amount of contact the sensors have with the body. A noise cancellation unit weights the signals according to their contact with the body and forms an active cancellation signal by combining the weighted sensor signals. Preferably, the noise cancellation unit removes the reference signal from the signals detected before those signals are combined to form the active cancellation signal. Preferably, the noise cancellation unit suppresses signals with lower contact quality relative to signals with better contact. Suppression of the signals may be determined using thresholds. The noise cancellation signal is injected into the body via the signal injector. The apparatus may be located on headwear eg glasses. The lift detection unit may also identify signal patterns characteristic of one or more facial expressions. Also, a method.
