Title: Power management in relation to network performance measurements
Inventor: Ryan Dominic Shaw
IPC: H04W24/08
Filed: 2018-07-05
Abstract: A device performs network performance measurements, such as measuring quality of service metrics, on a network with which it communicates wirelessly. To reduce power consumption, the device is inhibited from making measurements in the same location too frequently. The device can infer that its location has changed without directly determining its location, thereby reducing the need to incur the energy cost of activating a location-estimation module such as a GPS receiver. The device can infer its location by comparing a set of one or more pairs of readings (different points in time) of the environment external to the UE. Measurement activity is performed if the difference in readings of a pair satisfies a respective criterion. The set may comprise: an identity of a wireless local area network WLAN or of a transmitter in a cellular radio communications network, a strength of one or more signals received, or a list of WLANs detected. The quality of service metrics may be: the strength of a signal received by the UE from the network (i.e. RSSI); a latency, delay or lag affecting communication between the UE and a point in the network; or a data rate between the UE and the network.

Title: Modified graceful restart
Inventor: ALAN DAVEY
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2019-02-28
Abstract: A network node 200 has a graceful restart (GR) mode in which it sends a GR notification to one or more neighbouring nodes 310-330, such as when a secondary control plane part (CCP) 220 becomes active due to failure of the primary CCP 210. The node attempts to re-establish an adjacency with its neighbours and receives link state data from at least one. From this information the node derives pre-restart link data and identifies links that were active prior to the restart. The node then detects which formerly active links are currently inactive, e.g. link 150 between interfaces 231 & 311, and continues with the GR. The node determines which of the formerly active links are currently active, e.g. links 150 between interfaces 232 & 321 and between 233 & 331, and exits the GR mode in response to successful re-establishment of adjacencies with neighbouring nodes for each of the currently active links. The advantage of the invention is that the GR procedure may be continued even if a topology change has been detected and thus the GR period is exited earlier than would otherwise occur and less volume of traffic may be lost.

Title: System and method for managing and controlling a dynamic tunneling protocol in a mesh network
Inventor: Simon Coombes
IPC: H04W40/02
Filed: 2019-03-29
Abstract: Managing dynamic tunnelling in a mesh network where a first node of the network functions as an originator station and is associated with an application that transmits high-density data packets, a second node of the network functions as a target station and receives the high-density data packets from the application, and a third node of the network functions as a coordinating node and generates a message across the nodes of the network to activate a best path through the network when the application requires more bandwidth. The message indicates a time duration that the application will require more bandwidth. Each node that is not associated with the best path through the network stops transmitting during the time that the application requires more bandwidth. The coordinating node may associate the application with the originator station and create an auto trigger for the application to initiate when the application requires more bandwidth. The best path may be based on historic or current data associated with the network and may include exiting and re-entering the network via the internet. The invention may be used in a luminaire Internet of Things (IoT) network (see fig. 1).

Title: Adhesive curing for affixing optical elements to substrates
Inventor: ANDREW ROBERTSON
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 2019-04-05
Abstract: A method of assembling optical devices includes the steps of providing a glass-based optical element 110 and a substrate 120 with an ultraviolet (UV) light curable adhesive positioned in two locations between the optical element and the substrate. The substrate is within 5 mm of a UV mirror 125 positioned below the substrate. The adhesive is cured using at least one UV light source 105 which emits primarily at an ultra violet wavelength, or range of wavelenths. At the UV wavelength the substrate comprises a UV transmissive material and the UV mirror provides high UV reflectance. A portion of the UV light that is transmitted through the substrate is reflected by the UV mirror back through the substrate to provide additional substrate curing. The adhesive may be an acrylic resin such as epoxy acrylate which is cured without the need for any heating. The light source may be a single source and may include LEDs. The substrate may lie directly on the UV mirror. After curing, the substrate may be removed from the UV mirror. In another aspect, assembly of a fused-fiber device also follows the steps above, using a silica substrate and an acrylate resin adhesive, positioned on either side of a tapered portion of the fibre fused device.

Title: Dynamic control of accumulation time for chromatography mass spectrometry
Inventor: CHRISTIAN THOING
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2019-05-22
Abstract: A sample is eluted from a chromatography system and mass analysed using a Fourier Transform mass analyser (e.g. an orbital trapping mass analyser) or a Time of Flight mass analyser. A desired maximum scan duration for the eluting sample is calculated based on the duration of a chromatographic peak of the sample, the minimum number of scans per chromatographic peak to be performed, and optionally the number of target analytes to be identified. A maximum accumulation duration is then calculated based on the desired maximum scan duration, and optionally the number of target analytes to be identified per mass analysis scan. A set of first mass analysis scans is performed, each scan comprising accumulating a portion of sample ions for a duration not exceeding the maximum accumulation duration. Preferably, the average duration of the first set of scans is calculated. If this is greater than the desired maximum scan duration, a second set of mass analysis scans is performed using an adjusted (reduced) maximum accumulation duration.
