Title: Thermal Management
Inventor: GLEB IVANOV
IPC: B01J8/02
Filed: 2018-02-16
Abstract: A method of reacting silicon with water to produce hydrogen locates a silicon-containing composition in a reaction vessel 1 comprising a reactant contacting surface with a thermally conductive first region of a first material, e.g. a metal, having a thermal conductivity higher than the thermal conductivity of a thermally insulative second region, with a second material, e.g. a ceramic or polymer. The conductivities may respectively be more and less than 5 W/m.K and may have a greater difference than 5 W/m.K. In the vessel the second material peripheral wall 12 may be the reactant contacting surface, while the conductive material forms a disc-shaped heat sink (2, fig 2) located on the base 11b to conduct heat away. In another arrangement a side wall of the internal wall (34, fig 3B) of a ring-shaped heat sink (3, fig 3A) may form the conductive first region, and the base wall (P, fig 3A) may also or alternatively be the insulative second region. The differently conductive regions are designed for thermal management of the exothermic silicon-water reaction, preventing overheating and avoiding the formation of steam while producing hydrogen gas at an elevated temperature and reaction rate.

Title: Improvements in and relating to scheduling requests (SR) in a telecommunication system
Inventor: MILOS TESANOVIC
IPC: H04W74/00
Filed: 2018-03-20
Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is provided with a Scheduling Request (SR) configuration by a base station (BS). The UE adopts the configuration and at a later time the SR configuration is changed as a result of a message from the BS to the UE. The UE may be provided with a plurality of SR configurations by the BS, one of which is activated. The SR configuration which is activated may be determined on the basis of one or more of: UE type, downlink traffic queued in buffers at the BS, information relating to previous UE connections to the network, previous data transmitted on the uplink from the UE, current signaling load in the particular cell served by the BS, and estimates of future signaling load in the particular cell. The BS may transmit a reconfiguration message to the UE based on a change in one of the aforementioned determined bases. An initial SR configuration may be provided on an RRC channel. A subsequent reconfiguration instruction may be transmitted from the BS to the UE on a lower layer channel e.g. MAC CE/DCI. The invention may relate to 5G/NR systems.

IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2018-06-29
Abstract: A data processing system that includes a field sequential color display (4, Fig.1) and a producer processing unit 2 such as a GPU produces respective frames 160, 161, to be transformed by a transformation engine (50, fig.2) based on a predicted view orientation. Each colour field (eg. RGB) to be displayed on the display for the frame is transformed 184 based on a predicted view orientation186 for that particular colour field, such that each colour field will be subjected to a different view orientation transformation to the other colour fields for the frame. The so-transformed colour fields are then displayed sequentially on the display to display the frame. Alternatively, the GPU provides the frame for processing to the display processor in the form of separate colour planes and the display is configured to display the separate colour planes for the frame. The data processing system may be used to provide an Augmented / virtual reality head mounted display (HMD).

Title: Train set and cars for train set operable on routes having electrified and non-electrified sections
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER DAUTEL
IPC: B61D17/10
Filed: 2018-09-14
Abstract: A lead car (cars 1,5), which may be positioned as the first or last car in a train set, has traction motors 30; a pantograph 10 on its roof, relatively close to an end of the lead car; and a generation unit 40 with an electricity generator 42 driven by an engine, located relatively distant from the end of the lead car and underneath a passenger saloon floor. The electrical power to drive the traction motors is selected from that collected by the pantograph, or from the generation unit. The floor changes height from a lower level beneath the pantograph, to a higher level above the generation unit. An intermediate car (car 3) carries an underfloor transformer 50, receiving AC electrical power collected by a pantograph of another car in the trainset via a power cable 70 into its primary winding. The transformer has many secondary windings, each having a power line extending to ends of the intermediate car, supplying stepped-down AC electrical power to other cars of the trainset which can be selectively used to drive their traction motors. Preferably, the floor height in the intermediate car is the same as that above the generation unit in the lead car.
