Title: Method and system for wireless communications wherein the transmitted signal has an adapatable power
Inventor: FRANCOIS THOUMY
IPC: H04W52/24
Filed: 2015-12-16
Abstract: The invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular a transmitter configured to perform wireless communication with a receiver configured to receive a signal from the transmitter. The transmitter comprises an oscillator configured to supply a first emitted power for the emission of a signal as a function of a control signal; a communication interface to receive data concerning the reception of a previously-transmitted signal emitted with the first emitted power; a computing module configured to determine a control signal such that a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) computed from the received signal exceeds a pre-determined signal-to-noise ratio threshold; and means for adapting the control signal as a function of the received data such that the oscillator can supply at least a second emitted power for the emission of a signal. The transmitter is thus able to adapt the power of the emitted signal by the oscillator as needed to exceed the predetermined signal-to-noise ratio threshold.

Title: Scheduling configuration methods for cellular communication systems
Inventor: OLIVIER MARCO
IPC: H04W74/04
Filed: 2016-02-11
Abstract: In an LTE cellular communications system with Carrier Aggregation, the signalling overhead for a scheduling request configuration is reduced by omitting the dsr TransMax in the Scheduling Request Configuration Information Element in respect of an additional, configured Component Carrier. A further enhancement is to replace a per-Component Carrier Scheduling Request configuration index with a group configuration index which specifies an individual configuration index for each Component Carrier. The application also includes method, network element, wireless communication device and computer readable medium claims. The invention aims to reduce RRC signalling load in systems where multiple Scheduling Request-configured Component Carriers serve a User Equipment, to optimise the performance of uplink scheduling, and to limit the UE-specific information that does not need to be updated/exchanged every time a CC is configured for the UE.

Title: Controlling incoming air for a multi-directional rotational motor in a single rotational direction
Inventor: DENNIS A NOWAK
IPC: B25F5/00
Filed: 2016-02-18
Abstract: A mechanism 100 for controlling the amount of pressurized fluid or air delivered to a rotor of the motor, having an output adapted to rotate in either of two rotational directions. The mechanism includes a plate 110 with first 110c and second 110a openings, each allowing passage of the fluid or air to the rotor. When the fluid or air passes through the first opening, the output rotates in the first rotational direction. When the fluid or air passes through the second opening, the output rotates in the second rotational direction. A plunger 170 within the plate is movable relative to the first opening to selectively control its size. The plunger is movable between a restricted position where it minimises the size of the first opening, and an unrestricted position where it maximises the size of the first opening. The mechanism may be used in a pneumatic or hydraulic power tool such as an impact wrench. The mechanism is for reducing power output of a tool by restricting airflow into the motor and can be implemented in only one of the rotational directions e.g. forward (or clockwise). It can be independent of a forward/reverse mechanism.

Title: Massive data transmission method using adaptive transmission profile in wireless sensor network for battlefield surveillance
Inventor: YI-HYEONG KIM
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2016-07-05
Abstract: A method of transmitting massive data in a wireless sensor network for battlefield surveillance comprises sending, by a transmission node, a burst transmission request to a reception node. The reception node selects a transmission profile to be used by the transmission node, the transmission profile comprising a physical layer packet transmission unit (PDU) size and forward error correction code (FEC). The selection depends on the signal strength (RSSI) of the burst transmission request. The reception node sends a channel resource reservation request to adjacent nodes which causes the adjacent nodes to enter a sleep state for the duration of the burst. The transmission node divides data into multiple fragmentation packets according to the transmission profile and transmits a burst of consecutive packets without acknowledgement messages from the reception node. The transmission and reception nodes switch from power management according to a duty cycle in a power saving operation mode to a burst transmission mode in order to transmit and receive the burst.

Title: Microphone mixing for wind noise reduction
Inventor: HENRY CHEN
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2015-05-26
Abstract: Wind noise reduction in microphone signals. A first microphone signal is obtained from a first omnidirectional microphone and, contemporaneously, a second microphone signal is obtained from a second omnidirectional microphone. The first and second microphone signals are mixed to produce an output signal. Mixing involves weighting the first and second microphone signals by respective first and second signal weights to produce respective first and second weighted microphone signals, and summing the first and second weighted microphone signals together to produce the output signal. The first and second signal weights are calculated to minimise the power of the output signal.

Title: Apparatus and method for transporting hydrocarbons from the seabed
Inventor: RAGNAR STOKKE
IPC: E21B43/01
Filed: 2017-01-05
Abstract: A riser system for transporting hydrocarbons, where the cross-sectional area of the flow path increases along the flow path between the sea bed and the surface. This prevents flow rate choking due to gases expanding in the fluid as the pressure decreases as it rises along the flow path. The increase in the cross-sectional area of the flow path may be achieved by either adding parallel lines 200 or by increasing the internal diameter of the flow path. The parallel lines may be flexible. The system may comprise a steel catenary riser 100 and may include buoyancy aids 220. There may be at least one flow control valve 400 to control flow through the flexible lines 200. The flow lines and the main flow path may terminate in a manifold.

Title: Further improved locks and locking mechanisms
Inventor: MARK O'SULLIVAN
IPC: E05B17/20
Filed: 2017-01-31
Abstract: A cylinder lock has a cam 2 and a drive 104. When a key is inserted into a keyhole in at least one end of the cylinder, the drive releases securing means 6, allowing the cam to rotate and disengaging a door bolt. Preferably the securing means has a spring 13 urging a pin towards the cam. The drive may have a spool 7, engaging the securing pin and having two different diameter portions, displaced so the pin engages the smaller diameter when the key is inserted. Preferably, at one end of the drive, a top-hat bush 1 and rotator body 5 are fixed to the cam and a drive dog 14 is attached to it by protrusions engaging two or more holes and a slot. Should this end of the cylinder detach from the lock, and the dog separate from the bush, a shutter 10 seals the bush end so the lock may still be opened with a key. The rotator body may include a recess (200, fig. 14) to receive the shutter. At the other end of the drive there may be a sprung override plunger 9 displacing the spool when pressed against the springs 4.
