Patent GB-2524918-A (GB)
Title: Anti-rotation wedge
Inventor: STEEN THOMAS L
IPC: E21B17/08
Filed: 2013-12-16
Abstract: A key assembly is press fit into an annular space between a box and pin member to resist relative rotation of the box and pin members. The key assembly includes wedge like members that contact one another along complementary tapered surfaces, and when in contact generate radial forces into the box and pin member to secure the connection between the box and pin. The outer wedge is inserted first into the annular space between the box and pin members, and has rows of elongate teeth that project radially outward into contact with an inner surface of the box member. Because the outer wedge is pushed radially outward against the box member rather than axially sliding therebetween, the teeth protrude into the surface of the box member thereby increasing the anti-rotation force created by the outer wedge.

Title: A Method of starting a gas turbine engine
Inventor: CAROLINE LOUISE TURNER
IPC: G01M15/14
Filed: 2015-10-20
Abstract: A gas turbine engine (100, Figure 1), typically for use on an aircraft, comprises a compressor (110, Figure 1) driven by a shaft (120, Figure 1) and having a reference stability boundary A. A reference starting schedule for the engine defines a reference working line C. The engine can be started by accelerating the rotational speed of the shaft towards an engine idle speed and modifying an operational parameter of the engine, for example power offtake, fuel flow rate, engine geometry or rate of change of engine speed, so that an operating working line B defined by this parameter change is closer to stability boundary A than reference working line C. This uprated starting schedule is preferably only used for ground starts, and can be used periodically or at intervals so as to test whether the surge margin is sufficient for the flight envelope.

Patent GB-2550581-A (GB)
Title: Dynamic cyclic prefix configuration
Inventor: Razieh Razavi
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2016-05-23
Abstract: A cyclic prefix is configured based on information for calculating delay spread, the information being determined at a UE for downlink OFDM transmission symbols from a base station. It may be checked that the intra-carrier inter-symbol interference (ISI) is the dominant source of interference to the symbols from the base station to the UE by checking that the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) for a symbol is higher than each subsequently transmitted symbol. The symbols may be pilot symbols, configured such that intra-carrier ISI is the dominant interference source by setting the cyclic prefix based on the worst possible delay spread for the UE, inserting a guard period after the symbols, and muting some of the symbols. The determined information may comprise whether a channel coefficient for each symbol varies more than a threshold, the information used to determine a coherence bandwidth and then the delay spread. The information may comprise a relationship between a cyclic prefix and a SINR. A change in the delay spread may prompt an adjustment to the cyclic prefix. The UE may communicate with multiple base stations, using the longest delay spread among them to select the cyclic prefix.
