Title: Autonomous search and track using a wide FOV
Inventor: STEPHEN SYKES
IPC: G06N3/12
Filed: 2019-06-13
Abstract: A surveillance system (105) comprises a sensor manager 155, a target detection module 175, and a sensor 165. The target detection module receives imagery developed from the sensor and is configured to detect objects of interest within the imagery. The sensor manager sends command messages, indicating where the sensor should survey. The system is configured to analyse the detected objects of interest using an exploration - exploitation algorithm to determine where to survey with the sensor. The system could be used on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with sensors to survey areas from a remote location. The sensor could be a camera mounted on a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) apparatus allowing it to point in any direction and to control its zoom. The objects of interest could be associated with rewards and the system configured to maximise or minimise the reward. Also described is an associated sensor manager and a method of operating a surveillance system.

Title: Cyclic redundancy check computation circuit, communication unit, and method therefor
Inventor: ROBERT GEOFFREY MAUNDER
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2019-07-01
Abstract: The invention relates to generating/checking CRC check bits for data blocks up to a fixed maximum size. Each check bit is the modulo 2 sum of a subset of the data bits (essentially a parity bit) and a generator/check matrix is created. Each matrix column corresponds to a check bit and each line to a data bit and contains a one where that data bit is significant for that check bit. XORing all the matrix rows corresponding to data ones creates the check bits. In the invention several lines of the matrix are loaded into a single memory location 402. One addresses worth of lines is read and each line’s worth of bits is ANDed with corresponding data bits 404 to zero any line corresponding to zero data bits. The resulting lines of bits are XORed to create the check bits 102. For larger data blocks the process is repeated with more memory addresses/matrix lines and a running XOR/modulo-2 sum is kept as the check bit. Where the CRC bit width is less than the devices bit width zero stuffing bits 401 are used.

Title: System for treating tissue with energy
Inventor: DANIEL THOMAS
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 2021-07-26
Abstract: A system for treating tissue has an energy generator 1 and a tissue treatment instrument 12 comprising an end effector for treating tissue using the energy. The system has a delay module to receive an activation signal. The delay module enforces a predetermined time delay between the indication that energy is required at the tissue treatment instrument, and the generator providing the energy. The delay allows the end effector of the instrument to be positioned prior to the energy delivery, and accidental energy activation can be reversed before treatment is applied. A visual or aural signal may be emitted during the delay period; the aural signal may be a countdown. The delay period may be between one and five seconds and may be pre-programmed by a user. The delay module may be located within the generator or within the instrument.

Title: Apparatus for driving a surgical end effector
Inventor: JAMES ALAN DICKSON
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2021-12-22
Abstract: When surgical devices operate on tissue (e.g. cutting or ablating tissue), tissue and other debris is typically sucked away from the operating site along a suction pathway through the device. In some cases, this debris may accumulate at certain points within the device. This can lead to blockages forming in the suction pathway, which reduces the flow of debris through the device and hinders effective removal of debris from the operating site. An apparatus for driving a surgical end effector e.g. rotary shaver 40. The apparatus comprises a drive componentry (not shown) configured to drive the end effector e.g. shaver blade 40 and driver control circuitry (not shown) having a first operational mode to cause an intended surgical effect and a second operational mode to cause debris to be dis-lodged and stop clogging of the apparatus. De-clogging may be achieved by the drive control rotating the rotary shave 40 in a first direction and then in a second direction. The apparatus may further include a radio frequency cutting electrode 32.

IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2022-03-28
Abstract: A system for appending a minting block to a blockchain supporting cryptographically generated data, such as tokens, comprises a mint 608, a certifier 606, and a network having user devices of contributors of a biological dataset, such as genetic material provider 602 and sequence generator 604. A contributor 602 sends the dataset, such as a genetic sequence, and a contributor identifier to certifier 618, and receives a corresponding signed claim certificate associating the contributor identifier with an anonymous contributor credential and a dataset identifier uniquely identifying the dataset. The contributor sends a contribution message to the mint 726, the message containing the anonymous credential and the dataset identifier. The certifier 606 further analyses the dataset to determine quality parameters, and sends a quality certification message to the mint 728, the message having the dataset identifier, the anonymous credential, and the parameter values. The mint creates a minting block for establishing new data (e.g. cryptotokens), the block comprising information from the contribution and quality certification messages, as well as information indicating to which user the new data is allocated, and a carat status, determined from the parameter values, indicating a value of the new data. Contributors may thus be compensated.
