Title: Spinning reel
Inventor: TOMOHIRO NISHIKAWA
IPC: A01K89/01
Filed: 2019-06-18
Abstract: A spinning reel 100 comprising: a spool 4 and spool shaft 3; a rotating handle 14 to rotate a rotor 5 rotatable about spool 4 to wind a fishing line onto spool 4; a reciprocating mechanism 6 to move spool 4 and spool shaft 3 together back and forth in an axial direction of shaft 3 when the rotation of handle 14 is transmitted to the reciprocating mechanism 6; and a clutch 7 that’s switchable between a transmitting state to transmit rotation of handle 14 to the reciprocating mechanism 6, and a non-transmitting state to terminate the transmission, where in the non-transmitting state, spool-shaft 3 is enabled to be moved in the axial direction. In use, the non-transmitting mode is described in terms of allowing a user to axially move the spool by hand relative to the rotor without rotating the handle, where even if the spool is axially moved to a foremost position, a hanging length of the fishing line from a distal end of a fishing rod changes only by the distance that the spool travels in moving to the foremost position, so allowing an optimal hanging length of the fishing line to be substantially maintained for casting.

Title: Geared bracket for a window shade
Inventor: JOEL BERMAN
IPC: E06B9/78
Filed: 2018-03-29
Abstract: The geared bracket 200 has a sprocket 220, having a ring gear on an inside circumference, a chain 210 engaged with the sprocket for rotating the sprocket, a sun gear 230 which is restricted from rotation, at least one planet gear 240 engaging the ring gear and rotatable around the sun gear, a planetary carrier 260 mated with the planet gear(s), a drum or shade tube 290 preferably having a hub 280 at its end. The planetary carrier may be in contact with the hub via a wrap spring clutch mechanism 207 to drive the drum. The chain has a stop bead 205. The sun gear may be located on a hexagonal shaft which prevents rotation. In response to the chain being pulled, the sprocket rotates, causing the planet gears to rotate, rotating the planetary carrier, causing the hub and the drum to rotate via the clutch. The gearing allows a gear ratio less than 2:1, between rotations of the sprocket and rotations of the shade tube, so that a stop bead can be used to prevent over rotation of the drum without needing to be drawn into the gear bracket housing.

Title: Method and apparatus for wireless communication of low latency data between multilink devices
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W28/02
Filed: 2020-07-10
Abstract: A method of communicating between multilink (ML) devices (e.g. IEEE 802.11be “Extremely High Throughput”) comprises an originator ML device storing data in a transmit buffer, establishing connection with a recipient ML device, and transmitting data over the links based on an acknowledgement scheme for acknowledging correct reception of the data. Data from the transmit buffer is removed when acknowledgements are received from the recipient ML device. However, data transmitted over one specific link (No-ack link 15-x) is removed from the buffer regardless of any respective acknowledgement. The recipient ML device stores the received data in a reordering buffer and delivers the data to an upper layer based on sequence ordering. However, for data received over the specific link, the data is delivered to the upper layer regardless of sequence ordering. The specific link may be dedicated to low latency data. Data transmitted over the multiple links may have the same transport identifier (TID). An acknowledgement scoreboard may be built upon transmitting data over the specific link and used to update the buffer. An acknowledgement record may be received from the recipient and a bitmap of it XORed with the scoreboard.
