Patent GB-2495337-A (GB)
Title: Ball rack
Inventor: GRICE KEVIN
IPC: A63D15/00
Filed: 2011-10-07
Abstract: A rack for games such as pool and snooker comprises two main sides 1 and 2 adjoined forming an apex 3 with an angle of about 60 degrees, and a cross brace 4 fixed on top of both sides 1 and 2 so as to form a triangular rack. The cross brace 4 is positioned so as to sit above table surface 6 at a distance greater than the diameter of the balls 5. The fixing of a cross brace 4 on top of the two main sides 1 and 2 achieves triangulation adding strength and stability, while also providing a space through which the balls 5 can pass freely as the rack is slid away from the stacked balls. The rack may be fitted with a gate 8 for more efficient compaction of the balls. The gate 8 may be retained in an inoperative position by magnets (10, figure 3).

Title: Starting a brushless motor
Inventor: CHEN YU
IPC: H02P6/14
Filed: 2011-10-14
Abstract: A brushless motor 1 comprises a rotor 2, a stator 3 having at least one phase winding 4, and a rotor-position sensor 5. The motor is started by exciting the winding and sensing a signal output by the sensor. If an edge of the signal is sensed during a first period, the winding is commutated in response to the edge. Otherwise, the method involves commutating the winding at the end of the first period, sensing the signal, and commutating the winding in response to a second of two edges of the signal sensed during a second period. The motor is unidirectional and is intended to be driven in a forward direction only. The sensor may be a Hall-effect sensor, an optical encoder. The motor may have a permanent magnet rotor or be a reluctance motor.

Title: An access point that can be used to establish connections with UE devices using both cellular and wifi air interfaces
Inventor: KEEVILL PETER
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2011-10-14
Abstract: A user equipment device is authenticated in a WiFi access point, wherein the user equipment device is adapted to operate in a cellular network and in a WiFi communications link, and wherein the WiFi access point is co-located with a base station of the cellular network. After receiving from the user equipment device a request for access to the cellular network, keys are generated for authenticating the user equipment device in the cellular network and the keys are used to authenticate the user equipment device for the WiFi communications link with the WiFi access point. The keys may for example be one-time keys or fixed keys. More specifically, a dual mode UE is equipped with a (U)SIM application which can interact with a dual mode 3G+WLAN access pint to use the 3GPP authentication between the U(SIM) application and the 3G CN to create fresh keying material in the 3G Client and the 3G CN which the 3G CN then pushes to the AP as per the usual RANAP security mode control procedure over the lu/luh interface. The fresh keying material, once installed in the UEs    WLAN station and multi-standard cells    WLAN AP, will act as a pre-shared key which removes the need to pre-configure the WLAN station and the AP with that shared secret.
