Filed: 2017-12-05
Abstract: Drinks pouch 1 with a straw 3 within comprising a side edge 6 formed by a first heat seal 14 and openable along a line of weakness 18 to access the straw 3. A second heat seal 15 connects the front and rear faces (10, 11, figure 2), in an incomplete fashion and divides the interior cavity 9 into major 16 and minor 17 portions, which are interconnected so drink 2 may flow between them.

IPC: C25D11/20
Filed: 2018-02-09
Abstract: An aluminium or aluminum alloy panel 1 comprises an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface comprises at least one recessed area 4. The panel 1 has a reduced thickness in the at least one recessed area 4. Both the upper surface of the panel and the at least one recessed area 4 are provided with an aluminium oxide (anodized) coating (figure 4, 6). The anodised coating includes the addition of a dye. A method for producing an aluminium panel 1 is also detailed where a panel 1 is anodised and then a part of the anodised coating 2 and the underlying panel (figure 3, 5) is removed thus creating a recessed area 4. This is then subjected to an anodising process 6’ and is further sealed. A stencil (figure 4, 3) may be used to locate the recessed area. Sulfuric (sulphuric) acid can be used in the anodising process to produce coating of 1.8-25µm thickness. A dye may also be added to the anodised coating. The anodised coating may also be sealed using hot water sealing or cold sealing through the use of a nickel salt. The method can be used in manufacture of aluminium signs or nameplates.

Title: Transmission techniques in a cellular network
Inventor: BRUNO JECHOUX
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2018-07-23
Abstract: Transmission techniques in a cellular network are described which are particularly appropriate for use with radio systems operating in unlicensed spectrum. An enhanced listen before talk (LBT) procedure prepares a full slot for transmission commencing when transmission resources are obtained, but only the portion of that slot that fits in the time remaining in the slot in which the resources are obtained is actually transmitted. It allows transmission of a first partial slot to fully utilize the remaining symbols available in the gNB slot in which the LBT succeeds. Procedures are then provided for transmission of the remaining data (symbols) which did not fit into the first slot, in a later slot within the channel occupancy time (COT).

Title: Method of manufacture for Ion mobility filter
Inventor: JON PEARSON
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2019-03-21
Abstract: A support comprises an aperture. An electrode layer is attached to the support to cover the aperture. A plurality of ion mobility electrodes is formed by mechanically dicing through the electrode layer. Each electrode is separate from adjacent electrodes, spans the aperture, and is attached at opposite ends to the support. Each adjacent pair of electrodes defines an ion channel, the channels allowing gas to flow through the aperture. In aspects, potentials applied to the electrodes create first and second electric fields in first and second ion channels. An ionised gas sample flows through the filter, wherein a first portion of ions of a target chemical passes through the first channel, while a second portion is absorbed by the second channel. The channel width may be 10-50 micrometres, the electrode thickness 1-10 micrometres, and the aspect ratio at least 10:1. The electrode layer may be metal.

Title: Scalable parallel tessellation
Inventor: JOHN HOWSON
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2019-07-02
Abstract: Patch tessellation in a tessellation module generates tessellated geometry data representing the tessellated patch. The module comprises cores (9020, 9021, 9022), each comprising tessellation pipelines (9060 – 9092). A set of patches are replicated and passed (912) to each core and a respective patch of the set is processed at a respective pipeline to identify tessellation factors for the patches of the set. Based on the factors, tessellation instances to be used in tessellating the patches of the set are determined, wherein each instance, determined for a patch, is associated with a portion of tessellated geometry that will be generated when the patch is tessellated so that the tessellated geometry associated with all instances for the patch collectively define the tessellated geometry data for the patch. An allocation of the instances amongst the parallel pipelines of the core is determined, and the instances at the allocated pipelines are processed to generate tessellated geometry data associated with the respective allocated tessellation instances. A subset of the tessellation instances for a patch are allocated to the pipelines of a core, such that collectively, over all of the cores, all of the tessellation instances for the patch are processed.
