Title: Spacecraft and Orbital Plane Change Method Therefor
Inventor: Masanobu Fujimura
IPC: B64G1/24
Filed: 2016-05-10
Abstract: A spacecraft 10 changes orbital plane by descending from an initial orbit, Pb, to an elliptical orbit Pd through earths atmosphere 2, where aerodynamic lift allows the craft to change orbital plane, before then shifting at the apogee to the intended orbit Pa. The Spacecraft includes wings 11 or an airframe 12 which generates lift in an atmosphere 2, thruster 14 which accelerates or decelerates rotating speed in an orbit, an attitude controller 6 which controls an attitude of the airframe 12, and an orbital plane controller 18 which controls the orbital plane change. The orbital plane controller causes the spacecraft 10 to enter the earth's atmosphere 2 within a pre-change orbital plane Fb (A—B—C), changes the orbital plane by using the lift of the wings 11 or airframe 12 in the earth's atmosphere 2 (C—D—E), and then lifts the spacecraft 10 up to the post-change orbital altitude (E—F).

The top neighbouring sample is located on a same x-coordinate as the prediction sample and the left reference sample is located on a same y-coordinate as the prediction sample. A second sample in a first row and second column may be predicted using the top reference sample and the previously predicted sample in the first row and second column.

Patent GB-2575469-A (GB)
Title: Communication system
Inventor: YUHUA CHEN
IPC: H04W28/02
Filed: 2018-07-10
Abstract: A base station transmits, to a UE (user equipment), via a data radio bearer (DRB), a “dummy” downlink data packet that includes, in the header, information identifying a QoS flow which is mapped to the DRB. The downlink data packet has no user-plane data (an empty payload) and is transmitted prior to transmission, via that DRB, of data packets comprising any downlink user-plane data associated with the identified QoS flow. Reflective QoS flow to DRB mapping enables the UE to map an uplink QoS flow to the appropriate DRB without explicit signaling and before receipt of any downlink data. A user plane entity of a distributed base station determines that a UE has incorrect or does not have QoS flow to DRB mapping information and provides, to a control plane entity, information identifying the QoS flow for which the UE has incorrect or does not have the mapping.

Title: Bag-in-keg container with low pressure PRV
Inventor: PHILIP ANDREW WALTON
IPC: F16J15/3204
Filed: 2018-11-09
Abstract: A bag-in-keg container contains two pressure relief valves (PRV) to prevent dangerous overpressures. One PRV is associated with the bag and vents an overpressure from the bag into the space S between the bag and keg. A second PRV is associated with the valve means 6 of the container valve closure. This PRV may take the form of a flexible lip seal 40, carried by and angled with respect to valve means 6. In this way, the container PRV may have a low activation pressure so as to automatically vent when the space S is at a pressure of about 0.25 bar above atmosphere by a deformation of the lip. A sealing bead 45 may be provided which reduces the rate of venting by restricting the circumferential gap. During dispensing, the container PRV may be inoperative so as to allow a high dispensing pressure to be applied to space S.
