Title: Compact axle assembly particularly for truck with hub having planar outer flange surface
Inventor: BRZUSTOWICZ JOHN
IPC: B60B3/14
Filed: 2012-12-20
Abstract: An axle assembly 1, for example for a truck, has an axle 5 and exactly two wheels (11, Figure 6), each mounted on an end portion 4 of axle 5, and for each wheel a hub 3 and a brake 2. Each hub 3 has a hub flange 6 having a substantially planar outer flange surface 7 facing the corresponding wheel. Each wheel may have a substantially flat wheel disc (10, Figure 6), or a disc (10, Figure 7) with a ridge portion (13, Figure 7) surrounding a wheel mounting face (12, Figure 7). A wheel mounting face of each wheel may be approximately 12.5 cm from the wheel centre. Advantageously, the hub flange offset and wheel face mounting offset are small, providing a lightweight, strong, robust and aerodynamic axle assembly. The assembly is particularly suitable for non-steer axles having wide-base single wheels.

Title: Resource access management
Inventor: HINTON HEATHER MARCIA
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2011-06-30
Abstract: A method to enable access to resources hosted in a compute cloud begins upon receiving a registration request to initiate a user's registration to use resources hosted in the compute cloud. During a registration process initiated by receipt of the registration request, a federated single sign-on (F-SSO) request is received. The F-SSO request includes an assertion (e.g., an HTTP-based SAML assertion) having authentication data (e.g., an SSH public key, a CIFS username, etc.) for use to enable direct user access to a resource hosted in the compute cloud. Upon validation of the assertion, the authentication data is deployed within the cloud to enable direct user access to the compute cloud resource using the authentication data.

Title: Graphics processing method for processing sub-primitives
Inventor: Andrea Sansottera
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2015-09-08
Abstract: A hierarchical cache system is used in the rendering of sub-primitives in a graphics processing system. The hierarchical cache system stores a hierarchy of graphics data items used for deriving sub-primitives. The graphics processing system will check the cache for the presence of a required sub-primitive, S604, and if the sub-primitive is present in the cache it is retrieved directly by the system and rendered, S608. If the required sub-primitive is not present within the cache the system will check higher levels of the cache hierarchy for the presence of graphics data items from which the sub-primitive can be derived, S612, S620, S622. If such graphics data items are found they are retrieved and used to derive the sub-primitive which is then rendered, S614-S618. If no suitable graphics data items are stored in the cache then input graphics data items may be fetched from external memory and used to derive the sub-primitive, S624-S628. If graphics data items for deriving a sub-primitive are stored in the cache, the retrieval of these graphics data items from the cache in the rasterisation phase can reduce the amount of processing performed to derive the sub-primitives.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a mobile radio communications device UE arranged to operate according to a first radio access technology for communication in a mobile radio communications network, and according to a second radio access technology, i.e. LTE and ISM or GNSS bands. Radio measurements taken by the mobile radio communications device in relation to the first radio access technology can be polluted by coexistence interference from the second radio access technology, polluting measurements results used for Minimisation of Drive Test network surveys. The mobile radio communications device is arranged to indicate to the network its capability of providing enhanced radio measurements taken while experiencing pollution by coexistence interference before taking and reporting the measurements. The network may choose to discard the measurements taken by the UE while experiencing IDC or to include the measurements with further reported interference information. The network may instruct the UE to report only non-polluted measurements. The interference measurements may be an interference rate or level or a percentage of the number of measurement polluted by IDC interference.
