Title: Implementing appropriate management method for wireless nodes based on comparison of predetermined time of received message with actual time
Inventor: NEZOU PATRICE
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2012-12-12
Abstract: A group of nodes in a wireless network accesses a medium utilising collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) based on computation of a backoff value, wherein each node of the group stores a list of expected backoff values of the nodes of the group indicative of medium access times for the group. A first node of the group, having detected a badly received packet upon reception of a message from a sending node of the group, determines an expected reception time from the expected backoff value of the sending node contained in the list of the first node. The actual reception time is compared with the determined reception time of the message and implements either a first management method individually to the first node or a second management method globally to the group of nodes accordingly. The first management method may involve recovery techniques to ensure the first node is synchronised with the group of nodes.

Title: Method for influencing thermal balance of an internal combustion engine and an associated engine
Inventor: BRINKMANN BERND
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 2012-12-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for influencing the thermal balance of an internal combustion engine and an associated engine wherein the air to fuel ratio lambda is reduced when the charge air temperature in an air inlet exceeds a predetermined air charge temperature. On enrichment more fuel is injected in to an engine cylinder than can be burned in the engine for the air quantity provided and the excess fuel is also heated and evaporated which means that the temperature of the combustion gas actually falls. The claimed invention therefore provides a method for reducing the thermal load on the engine when the temperature of the charge air exceeds a maximum temperature limit without compromising on engine performance. The invention is especially useful when a vehicle fitted with an engine using the method is climbing a hill or accelerating. The method may be used in engines with exhaust gas recirculation and/or turbochargers and/or in hybrid engines. The method may also be used in conjunction with an engine cooling jacket.

Title: A wave energy extraction and ammonia production device
Inventor: ADKINS NICHOLAS JAMES
IPC: F03B15/06
Filed: 2013-11-29
Abstract: A wave energy converter comprises a floating wave operated member composed of two buoyant vessels 1 and connecting supports 3, and an inertial reaction member 2. The reaction member 2 is pivoted 4 about its centre of gravity, so that it has no tendency to pendular or harmonic motion, about an axis parallel to the wave fronts. The pivots 4 are mounted on supports 3 on the wave operated member 1. Energy is extracted from relative movement between the floats 1 and the reaction member 2 by e.g. hydraulic cylinders 5. The system produces ammonia e.g. using the Haber-Bosch process, which may be stored in containers 8 which provide the inertial mass. The ammonia may be used to store energy, or may be used directly e.g. as a fertilizer. The reaction member constitutes a large part of the total system mass, and the mass may be concentrated away from the pivot axis to maximise the moment of inertia. The system may be operated without contact with seabed or shore.

Title: User equipment proximity requests
Inventor: BARRY AGUIBOU MOUNTAGA
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2014-03-24
Abstract: A Proximity Request is handled within a cellular network, by communicating a Map Request 102 from the Proximity Service Function (20) to an Application Server (30), in response to a first Proximity Request 101 on behalf of a first User Equipment (10). A Map Response 103 is then communicated from the Application Server (30) to the Proximity Service Function (20), in response to the Map Request 102. One or both of: the Map Request; and the Map Response comprises a cryptographic signature to allow authentication of the first Proximity Request. Proximity requests can provide location information about a User Equipment that is outside of a PLMN making a request, providing powerful functionality. It is therefore desirable to prevent their abuse. A risk in the existing technique for a Proximity Request is that just one Proximity Request from the User Equipment will allow a ProSe Function to keep a record of a mapping (for a target second User Equipment) and have the capability to send a Proximity Request later even though the User Equipment did not actually send a proximity request. An Application Server interfaces with a cellular network and acts as an authentication system for checking that the Map Request is genuine.
