Title: Systems and methods for measuring signals
Inventor: RON TOLEDANO
IPC: H04W56/00
Filed: 2015-11-09
Abstract: A method for a User Equipment (UE) measuring neighbouring cell 208/210 signals where the UE may have no information on the timing/frequency of synchronisation signals from the cells: comprises receiving, by a first UE 202 from a second UE 204, information on the time at which synchronisation signals are received at the second UE from one or more base stations to which the first and second UEs are not connected; and obtaining, by the first UE based on the received information, a timing pattern for detecting, by the first UE, synchronisation signals transmitted from the one or more base stations. Information on the time at which synchronisation signals are received at the second UE allow enhanced measurement gap patterns to be determined based on the information. The information is transmitted from the second to the first UE via a Device-to-Device (D2D) link. Also disclosed is a method comprising: receiving from a second UE, information on one or more frequencies at which synchronisation signals are transmitted from one or more base stations to which the UEs are not connected, and using said information on one or more frequencies for detecting synchronisation signals transmitted from the one or more base stations.

Title: A wing-in-ground effect vehicle having a lift system
Inventor: LERUTH GONZAGUE
IPC: B60V3/08
Filed: 2016-01-27
Abstract: A wing-in-ground-effect vehicle 1 comprises a lift system with a pressure vessel or tank 2 and a set of nozzles 3-8. The lift system allows the wing-in-ground effect vehicle to take off. The pressure vessel holds a fluid, such as air, under pressure. The fluid is delivered from the pressure vessel to the nozzles via a conduit 17 and may be regulated by a valve which is controlled by a vehicle control system. Compressed fluid from the pressure vessel is expelled through the nozzles on operation of a valve by the vehicle control system to levitate the vehicle and allow the main propulsion system 33a to accelerate the vehicle in horizontal flight until sufficient lift is generated by the ground effect wings. The lift system may also discharge the nozzles to reduce the risk of collision with the ground or water through the delivery of a lift that increases the vehicle clearance from the ground or water, or stabilizes the vehicle roll and pitch angles.

Title: Improved reservation of channels in an 802.11AX network
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2016-05-04
Abstract: The invention relates to reservation of channels in an IEEE 802.11ax wireless network based on Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance, CSMA/CA. An access point sends an Multi-User, MU, Request-to-Send, MU-RTS, frame which associates nodes with 20MHz channels, for instance through allocations of Resource Units, RUs, composing the 20MHz channels to the nodes. Based on the node-channel associations, the nodes build the same list(s) of ordered nodes. In case a node fails to send a Clear-to-Send, CTS, frame (reservation acknowledging frame) in response to the MU-RTS frame, a next node according to the list take over from the previous node to send such CTS frame if the communication channel is sensed as idle. As a higher number of nodes can send the CTS frames, there are more chances that a requested Transmit Opportunity, TXOP, be granted. Improves usage of network bandwidth.

Title: Digital document execution
Inventor: LAURENCE SARGENT
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2017-02-27
Abstract: A method, electronic device and computer program for ensuring that a document is appropriately authorised by a plurality of entities comprises; digitally communicating a plurality of document authorisation requests to a plurality of entities, wherein each request includes the document and a request for the required authorisation; and, after receiving all the required authorisation data, generating an executed document comprising at least some of the received authorisation data. The required authorisation may be approving or signing the document after it has been viewed. The requests may be sent to entities in sequence as part of a signature-approval chain, where another request is sent after receiving authorisation data from a previous entity. Alternatively, requests may be sent to entities simultaneously. This method may reduce delays in seeking the necessary authorisation, and may prevent copies of incomplete documents existing in the system. Thus this method may prevent a document being generated before all the necessary authorisation is obtained.
