Title: Turbogenerator method and apparatus
Inventor: KEITH JOHN DOUGLAS
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 2018-12-20
Abstract: A method for maximising the total power output of a power generation system 10 is disclosed. The method comprises providing a power generation system comprising a turbocharged prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine 24, and a turbogenerator system 44 driven by a flow of exhaust fluid from the prime mover. The turbogenerator system creates a backpressure on the turbocharged prime mover. The method compares a parameter to a threshold value of the parameter. The parameter may be a proxy for the engine load, speed of the turbine 34 of the turbocharger or other parameter indicative of the operating state of the power generation system. The turbogenerator system is adjusted to vary the backpressure on the turbocharged prime mover to change the parameter to become closer to the threshold value and increase the total power output or fuel efficiency of the power generation system. The system may include a turbogenerator bypass valve 50 which may be closed to maximise the power output from the generator and maximise backpressure on the engine or open, to minimise the backpressure on the engine and maximise engine efficiency. An apparatus for performing the method is also described.

Title: Method of testing of IoT system behaviour in case of limited network connection
Inventor: MIROSLAV BURES
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2020-12-21
Abstract: Testing Internet of Things (IoT) system behaviour in the event of limited network connection wherein the basic structure for the tested process modelling is a directed graph and where the parts of the system in which failures of network connection are expected are modelled as specific subgraphs – ZRCF – zones with a risk of connection failure. Two levels of testing coverage or testing intensity are utilised in which the number of tested combinations varies according to the testing level, in one level each boundary is included once and wherein on the other level all combinations of boundaries must be included. The set of test scenarios is defined as a sequence of nodes. The creation of test scenarios proceeds according to (i) finding relevant paths inside the ZRCF between their boundary nodes via which it is possible to enter and exit the ZRCF in the tested process and (ii) incorporating these paths into the overall test scenarios. One embodiment described is the scenario of a smart vehicle looking for a car park and the decision making this involves with loss of network reception affecting this process. ZRCFs in this process are depicted with references α and β in
