Title: Traction motor apparatus
Inventor: MATTHEW ALEXANDER
IPC: F16H57/04
Filed: 2018-04-25
Abstract: A traction motor housing 3 has a motor chamber 6 for receiving an electric traction motor 4, and a transmission chamber 12 for receiving transmission apparatus 5 drivingly connected to the electric traction motor. A sump 17 is provided to collect a lubricant 16, and the sump is fluidly connected to the transmission chamber. To prevent lubricant flowing from the transmission chamber into the motor chamber, a partition 22 is provided between the chambers, but a lubricant return means 23 provides for returning lubricant from the motor chamber to the sump, via an inlet 24 and an outlet 25. The lubricant return means extends away from the partition into the transmission chamber and/or the sump, and in use, reduces or inhibits the flow of lubricant from the sump into the motor chamber.

Title: Backoff management for EDCA transmission in 802.11AX networks
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2019-03-08
Abstract: The invention relates to wireless networks comprising an access point and stations (which may be a mix of 802.11ac and legacy stations) comprising at least one traffic queue for serving data traffic. The 802.11ax stations and legacy stations have the same medium access probability using an EDCA access scheme. However, the 802.11a stations have additional medium access opportunities using the MU Uplink or OFDMA or RU access scheme. To address this unfairness, a traffic queue is described capable of storing data packets of a first and second type which may have different priorities assigned to each. A first and second backoff value is computed which are applied to the first and second data packets within the same traffic queue. The first type of data packet may contain control data and have higher priority over a second type. This allows an intra-queue priority mechanism to achieve fine-grained access to the medium.

Title: Verifying Neural Networks
Inventor: ALESSIO LOMUSCIO
IPC: G06N5/00
Filed: 2020-12-02
Abstract: Verifying the transformational robustness of a neural network. Data is obtained representing a trained neural network, a set of algebraic constraints on the output of the network, and a range of inputs to the neural network over which the algebraic constraints are to be verified, such that the data defines a transformational robustness verification problem. A set of complementary constrains on the pre-activation of a node in the network are determined such that for any input in the range of inputs, at least one of the complementary constraints is satisfied. Child verification problems are generated based on the transformational robustness verification problem and the set of complementary constraints. For each child verification problem, it is determined whether a counter-example to the child verification problem exists. Based on the determination, it is determined whether the neural network is transformationally robust. Nodes of the neural network may apply a Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function, and the complementary constraints may be constraints on the pre-activation of the ReLU node. The neural networks may be processing image, audio or any data such from LiDAR to financial records in applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to credit checking or other financial metric evaluations.
