Title: A latch mechanism for a gate
Inventor: JEREMY RENE DELOT
IPC: E05C5/02
Filed: 2018-07-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a latch mechanism (100 figure 1) for a gate and comprises a main support 206, a first retention member 202 having a first key aperture 208 and a second retention member 204 having a second key aperture. The first and second apertures are spaced along the main support so as to be separated by a gap. A rotatable latch 212 has a latch portion (216 figure 2c), one or more key portions (218, 220 figure 2b) which extend through either or both of the first key aperture and second key aperture and an axis of rotation 213. The rotatable latch is rotatable about the axis of rotation between a receiving position in which the gate is moveable between an open position and a closed position, or vice versa, and a latched position in which the gate is restrained in the closed position by the latch portion. The one or more key portions engage with either or both of the first and second retention members when in the latched position to prevent withdrawal of the rotatable latch.

Title: Carbon fibre spoke and manufacturing method therefor
Inventor: JINGNAN WANG
IPC: B60B1/04
Filed: 2018-05-23
Abstract: Disclosed is a carbon fibre spoke, comprising a spoke body (10) made of carbon fibres, a nipple (20) capable of being cooperatively connected to a rim (40) and a nipple head (30) capable of being cooperatively connected to a hub (50). Two end portions of the spoke body are both fixedly provided with fixed connectors (60), and outer circumferential faces of the fixed connectors are provided with first tapered sections (61) being small inside and big outside. The nipple and the nipple head are both provided with penetrating mounting holes (70). Hole walls of the mounting holes are provided with second tapered sections (71). The mounting hole in the nipple and the mounting hole in the nipple head are respectively fixedly sheathed to the two fixed connectors. The second tapered sections of the mounting holes and the first tapered sections of the fixed connectors are fitted and sheathed together. Also disclosed is a manufacturing method for a carbon fibre spoke. According to the method, forces exerted on the nipple and the nipple head by the rim and the hub are both tension, the tension enables the second tapered sections to have outward acting forces with respect to the first tapered sections, and the acting forces make the fastening performance between the nipple and the fixed connector as well as between the nipple head and the fixed connector greater.

Title: An apparatus and method for configuring a communication link
Inventor: ANDREW LOGOTHETIS
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2018-10-05
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for configuring a communication link such as in a micro cell that provides a backhaul connection to a mobile network. The apparatus 10 has several reconfigurable antenna elements (12, 14, 16) for communication over wireless links using various frequency channels, and configuration means to apply a configuration selected from several different configurations. Each configuration identifies which RF processing circuit each antenna element is coupled to and which frequency channel is allocated to each circuit. The configuration means employs a reinforcement learning process to dynamically select which of the different configurations to apply. The reinforcement learning process comprises observing how chosen configurations effect the current link state metrics (e.g. throughput) and applies rewards (i.e. weightings) to different configuration settings - depending on their observed effects. A future rewards record is maintained for combinations of link state and configuration and is used to determine optimal future configuration settings. Updates of configuration may be initiated based on events, such as resetting the device or moving the device to a new location, or based on time. The macro cell (e.g. donor eNodeB) may be installed in to a building to optimise utilisation of a mobile network.
