Patent GB-2558902-A (GB)
Title: Management of federated systems
Inventor: Paul McKee
IPC: G05B15/02
Filed: 2017-01-18
Abstract: A system for managing control of connected devices includes event sensors 1, condition sensors 7, actuators 5 and a control policy decision point 2 as shown in figure 1. The policy decision point collects sensor data and chooses a control policy to use from policy stores 3 and 8. After a policy is chosen, it is executed by the policy execution point 4. Each policy relates to parameters for controlling the operation of equipment. Figure 3 shows the system receives an input 30 which could be referred to as a trigger event and chooses an appropriate control policy in steps 31, 37, 38 and 39. If the input or trigger event is determined to have special significance relating to a special, emergency or master action, event or occurrence then a special policy is chosen from the special policy store 331 and executed. The control parameters defined by the special policy take priority or override the normal control policy parameters for the duration of the special event.

Title: A control system for a vehicle
Inventor: RICHARD THOMAS BURKE
IPC: B60L15/20
Filed: 2017-07-17
Abstract: A control system for a vehicle 100 having a first and second transversely located wheels 101, driven by first and second electric motors 710. The control system estimates a first power value for power applied to the second wheel when the second electric motor is placed in a first motor configuration and estimates a second power value for the power applied to the second wheel when the second electric motor is placed in a second motor configuration. The control system determines a first power differential between the power being applied to the first wheel by the first electric motor and the first power value and a second power differential between the power being applied to the first wheel by the first electric motor and the second power value. Upon the occurrence of a predetermined condition, it is determines that if either the first power differential or the second power differential is greater than a predetermined value, and the torque generated by the first electric motor is adjusted accordingly. The arrangement allows the vehicle to be powered by a single motor without exceeding yaw safety limits upon loss of communication of one electric motor.

Title: Improvements in or relating to reducing random access for paged User equipment (UE) in New Radio (NR)
Inventor: Michal Palgy
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2017-11-15
Abstract: Random access preambles are assigned to one or more user equipments (UEs) using implicit signaling on a paging related message. The paging related message may be a paging indicator or the paging message itself, and the implicit signaling in either case may be the choice of physical resource in frequency or time. For the paging message, this would be the choice of resource on the PDSCH, indicated by the start PRB index or start OFDM index. For the paging indicator, this would be the resource on the PDCCH, as indicated by the start control channel element (CCE) of the downlink control information (DCI). In an alternative embodiment, where a group of UEs are listed within the same paging message, the implicit signaling may be the order of that list. The actual communication of the preambles to the UEs may be performed semi-statically by an RRC configuration process. The scheme may be used with Msg0 paging in a contention-free random access exchange in a New Radio 5G network.

Inventor: JONAS OLOF GUNNAR KÄLLÉN
IPC: G06F13/37
Filed: 2018-03-23
Abstract: Disclosed is an arbiter for arbitrating between ordered requestors and a shared resource based on priorities allocated to the requestors. The arbiter has requestor selection logic that receives active information indicating which of the requestors have requested access to the resource 602, and priority information indicating which of the requestors have priority in the cycle 604. The arbiter selects one of the requestors by determining whether there is one requestor that has requested access in the current cycle and has priority in the current cycle 606, if there is then selecting the lowest ordered requestor that has requested access in the current cycle and has priority in the current cycle 608. If there are no requestors that have requested access in the current cycle and have priority in the current cycle 610, the highest ordered requestor that has requested access in the current cycle is selected 612. The selection logic may be a decision tree.
