Title: Improved access management to multi-user uplink random resource units by a plurality of BSSs
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2017-04-28
Abstract: In a wireless network comprising a physical access point, stations are organized into a plurality of groups, each group being managed by a virtual access point implemented in the physical access point. A station belonging to a first group obtains a joint set of random access parameters to be used in common by stations of the plurality of groups to contend for access to a (multi-BSS) transmission opportunity reserved for the plurality of groups. The station also obtains an individual set of random access parameters to be used to contend for access to a (single BSS) transmission opportunity reserved for stations of the first group only. The station determines a scale factor using a parameter value of the joint set and a parameter value of the individual set. The scale factor is used to update a back-off counter for contending for access when receiving a trigger frame from the physical access point, the trigger frame reserving a transmission opportunity for plural groups.

Title: Methods and devices for registering and authenticating miner identity in a blockchain network
Inventor: CRAIG STEVEN WRIGHT
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2019-05-10
Abstract: In the independent claims a potential blockchain miner creates a registration transaction which includes their identifier (probably the public key of a wallet controlled by the miner) and an output they control (probably an unspent transaction output (UTXO) linked to a wallet controlled by the miner). When the miner mines a block a reference to the registration transaction. Other nodes check that the transaction is exists 408 and that the output is unspent when validating the block 410-414. The registration transaction UTXO can be spent to revoke the registration. The invention may use the OP_RETURN function to record the miner ID and any references. The invention effectively proves that a miner has an unspent stake in the blockchain when mining blocks.

Title: A powertrain with integrated reverse function for use with bicycle flotation systems
Inventor: RUBEN HEYSE
IPC: B63H21/175
Filed: 2019-09-03
Abstract: A powertrain includes a set of rollers, engaged by the rear-wheel of a standard bicycle. The roller assembly is connected to a gearbox below it, through a drive belt, to allow power to be translated to a set of meshing gears. The gearbox permits the user to generate rearward motion of the craft, as a standard bicycle has a ratchet on the rear wheel, prohibiting rearward motion through pedalling. The shifting of the gearbox may be controlled by the user through the use of a lever and a linking cable. A gearless transmission system may be utilised to translate the rotary motion from the gearbox to the propeller along the desired thrust vector.
