Title: Method system and apparatus
Inventor: ESA TAPANI TIIROLA
IPC: H04W84/04
Filed: 2016-05-13
Abstract: A subframe arrangement for wireless communication between a relay node and a base station and between a relay node or a base station and a user equipment. A subframe at a relay node may support downlink and uplink control to both a base station and a user equipment.

Likewise, at the end of the frame there are two portions of uplink control; an uplink control portion 3 from the user equipment and an uplink control portion 4 to the base station. The control portions may be separated by a guard period which may cause different symbol timing to occur between a backhaul subframe and an access link subframe. The backhaul subframe may be of equal length to the access link subframe.

Title: Automatic and customisable checkpointing
Inventor: SERGIO ALDEA LOPEZ
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2016-05-31
Abstract: A Big Data ecosystem such as the Internet of Things (IoT) has a checkpointing mechanism whereby objects corresponding to in-memory data structures are copied from memories 240 in computation nodes 200 to staging nodes 700 by using Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). Staging nodes are intermediate nodes facilitating communications between computing nodes and file systems for backup. Checkpoints are kept in RAM memory 740 of staging node 700, and then asynchronously copied to non-volatile storage disks, such as parallel file system 150. Differently to previous approaches, checkpoints remain in volatile memory 740 within the checkpointing mechanism, making recovery faster by exploiting the speed advantage of RAM over disk accesses. Alternatively to copying, objects in memory are updated incrementally to newer versions by applying the chain of changes (lineage) made to them in the corresponding computation nodes 200. An automatic and customisable mechanism controls when the checkpointing process is triggered.

Inventor: CHENGCAI DONG
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 2014-01-17
Abstract: An array substrate. Each pixel unit (Pn) of the array substrate comprises a compensation circuit unit. When scanning signals occur on scanning lines (Gn+1) corresponding to the pixel unit (Pn) located on the next line of present pixel unit (Pn) and arranged along the scanning direction, the compensation circuit unit of the present pixel unit (Pn) acts on a sub-area electrode (Sub) of the present pixel unit (Pn), so that the ratio of the voltage difference between the sub-area electrode (Sub) and a common electrode to the voltage difference between a main area electrode (Main) and the common electrode in a positive polarity reverse driving period is equal to the ratio of the voltage difference between the sub-area electrode (Sub) and the common electrode to the voltage difference between the main area electrode (Main) and the common electrode in a negative polarity reverse driving period. By means of the method, the liquid crystal display panel can improve a low-color-cast effect. A liquid crystal display panel and a driving method are also provided.

Title: System and method for configuring autonomous vehicle reponses based on a driver profile
Inventor: MATT JONES
IPC: G09B9/052
Filed: 2016-10-05
Abstract: A system 20 for developing an autonomous vehicle response includes a simulator 22 that provides at least a visual simulation of different situations that may be encountered while driving possibly using virtual reality. A driver input device 24, which may include a steering wheel, accelerator or brake pedals (40, 42, 44 fig.2), allows the drivers response to the simulation to be monitored. A device 26 including a processor 28 and data storage 30 is configured to determine a driver profile based on the drivers response during the simulation. The profile is at least temporarily stored in the data storage and may be transmitted to a vehicle controller 32 where the profile is used to control autonomous vehicle responses. The simulation may include moving and stationary obstacles, including living beings, and be configured that an accident is inevitable so that moral or ethical judgements made by the driver during the simulation can be interpreted in real world autonomous driving situations. Drivers may be identified using a sensor, such a camera (80 fig.4), so that multiple profiles may be used in each vehicle.

Title: Systems and methods for providing a contextual menu with information related to an emergency alert
Inventor: Daniel Thomas Ward
IPC: H04N21/433
Filed: 2016-11-29
Abstract: An application, e.g. a media guidance application running on a set-top box, detects that a new emergency alert has been received (e.g. warning of a flood, storm, blizzard etc.). Keywords are extracted from the alert, e.g. using alert metadata. The media guidance application then identifies media content related to the emergency alert, such as by performing a search of various content sources (e.g. program listings, the Internet). The media guidance application then presents the relevant content items in a contextual menu 1804 enabling the user to access content 1806 of the search results. The media guidance application may also record or pause media content that the user was in the process of consuming when the emergency alert was generated, and provide an option 1808 to not bring up the contextual menu again if the same emergency alert is repeated. The keywords may be identified using audio or video pattern recognition.

Title: Voice service handover
Inventor: FRANCISCO JOSE FAUS GREGORI
IPC: H04W88/06
Filed: 2017-06-23
Abstract: A user entity (UE) such as a smartphone 9 is configured to connect to both Wi-Fi RTM 19 and a Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular network 3 for voice services. For voice services, the UE supports both Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi). When the UE is connected to VoWi-Fi (Wi-Fi calling) and roaming, i.e. handing over from a first WiFi access point AP 17a to a second Wi-Fi AP 17b, the Mobility Management Entity (MME) 31 in the cellular network carries out a preparatory handover to VoLTE to prevent service loss in the event of an unsuccessful VoWiFi connection (failed handover). The MME receives a request from the UE (i.e. a modified attach request message) to access voice services, the request comprising an identifier indicating a provisional request. The MME performs a first subset of operations to establish a provisional link. If a further instruction to complete the link is received within a predetermined period of time, a second subset of operations is performed and the link completed. Otherwise the VoWiFi to VoWiFi handover is considered successful (not failed) and the MME performs a de-allocation to recover provisionally allocated resources.
