Title: A cleaner head for a vaccum cleaner
Inventor: THOMAS CLIFFORD CARTER
IPC: A47L9/06
Filed: 2017-12-12
Abstract: A cleaner head for a vacuum cleaner has a housing (12, fig. 1), an agitator (20) rotatably mounted within the housing, and first (56) and second (58) debris removal members. The first debris removal member is movable relative to the second debris removal member between a first position in which a debris collection channel (88) is defined, and a second position (fig. 16) in which the debris removal members are contiguous or overlapping, wherein movement from the first to the second position removes debris from the channel, movement of the first debris removal member is governed by rotation of the agitator. The mechanism may move the first member to the first position when the agitator moves at a speed above a pre-determined threshold and may move it to the second position when the agitator speed drops below a pre-determined threshold. The mechanism may comprise a weight (62, fig. 11) attached to the first member. The first member may be pivotally mounted to the second member. The first and second members may be removable from the cleaner had independently of the agitator. There may be a first and second further debris removal members defining a further channel (fig. 19).

Title: Method and apparatus for transmitting data in a communication system
Inventor: Liam Stigant
IPC: H04L5/00
Filed: 2018-01-08
Abstract: A communication system comprises a transmitter 16, e.g. a DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM), and receivers 51-54, e.g. Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) modems, connected via respective communication channels 21-24, e.g. twisted metallic pairs (TMPs). An iterative method (fig. 3) for vectored precoding of data to compensate for channel cross-talk comprises: i) precoding the data for transmission on the channels to provide first precoded data; ii) using the first precoded data, for each channel, computing a number of bits to be loaded or allocated to that channel, e.g. by performing a water filling algorithm; iii) determining that the bit allocation does not satisfy one or more criteria, e.g. does not achieve a maximum bit limit on one or more channels; iv) ranking the channels in an order based on channel properties; v) discarding for use as a direct channel, one or more channels (or tone of one or more channels) based on the ranking; and vi) precoding the data for transmission on the channels accounting for the discarded channel(s) to provide second precoded data. The steps are performed iteratively until the one or more criteria are satisfied, followed by transmission of the precoded data. The method improves overall channel capacity whilst satisfying the power spectral density (PSD) mask.
