IPC: A61F2/34
Filed: 2017-05-09
Abstract: A ceramic acetabular cup 10, devoid of a liner, comprises an inner articulating surface 12, an outer surface (14, Fig 1) and a rim (22, Fig 1). The distance 38 between the inner surface and outer surface on a straight line from an equatorial centre of the inner surface E and passing through a surface edge of it is equal to or less than 4 mm. In a first embodiment the radius of the inner surface defines an active arc A of around 150 degrees to less than 180 degrees and an uppermost portion of the rim defines an offset datum plane D. An offset O between the equatorial centre E of the articulating surface and the offset datum plane D is in a range of around 1 mm towards a pole 24 of the articulating surface and around 3.5 mm away from it. The outer surface also supports a bio-compatible coating 40 which is stepped 42 at/adjacent the rim.

Title: Topology preservation in a graphics pipeline
Inventor: JOHN HOWSON
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 2018-01-18
Abstract: A graphics processing engine that comprises a geometry shading stage having two modes of operation is described. In the first mode of operation, each primitive output by the geometry shading stage is independent, whereas in the second mode of operation, connectivity between input primitives is maintained by the geometry shading stage. The mode of operation of the geometry shading stage can be determined based on the value of control state data which may be generated at compile-time for a geometry shader based on analysis of that geometry shader. During processing if it is determined that primitive connectivity is not preserved then that shader code is output whereas if primitive connectivity is preserved then including that shader code in a previous stage of the graphics pipeline. The application aims to reduce the processing load of primitive processing where primitives share common vertices.

Title: V2V collaborative relative positioning system
Inventor: CYNTHIA M NEUBECKER
IPC: G01S19/45
Filed: 2018-01-18
Abstract: A method is provided of enhancing GPS data of a host vehicle within a cluster of vehicles through exchange of vehicle to vehicle (V2V) messages within the cluster. A respective vehicle having a highest GPS trust factor is identified utilizing GPS data within the V2V messages. The GPS data of the host vehicle is adjusted as a function of GPS position of the identified vehicle and relative position data between the host vehicle and the identified vehicle. If no vehicle has a highest trust factor a confidence level of each vehicle from the GPS data is compared, vehicles having the same confidence level have an accuracy radius calculated and vehicles within the accuracy radius have their GPS data averaged, the averaged data used to adjust the GPS data. The adjusted GPS data determined by the host vehicle is broadcast to the other vehicles in the cluster in a V2V message. A system to perform the task is also disclosed which has a GPS receiver 12, V2V communication system 14 and a processor 16 for making the required comparisons and calculations.

Title: An improved speaking valve
Inventor: IAN DAVID WORTHINGTON
IPC: A61M16/04
Filed: 2018-11-29
Abstract: A speaking valve 7 moveable between a first configuration (Fig 15A) allowing for inspiration and expiration through the valve, and a second configuration in which expiration is resisted. Increasing the pressure difference across the valve by increasing the rate of expiration to a pre-determined threshold causes the valve to transition into the second configuration. In the second configuration the valve continues to resist expiration until a predetermined negative pressure difference across the valve causes it to transition back into the first configuration. The valve may comprise a bistable diaphragm 14, with the diaphragm interacting with a valve seat 18 to resist flow through the valve in one of its two stable configurations, said stable configuration corresponding to the second configuration of the valve. Such a valve may be used as part of an airway management device.
Patent GB-2575890-A (GB)
Title: Imaging method
Inventor: PATRICK JOHN BELDON
IPC: G01J1/42
Filed: 2018-12-05
Abstract: Light intensity measurement, e.g. in near-infrared spectroscopy for cranial imaging, using a detector array. The array comprises proximate sensor groups, e.g. adjacent photodiode pairs 301a, 301b in series. The measurement corresponds to a difference between light intensities, e.g. via current Im at measurement node Vm, with voltages Vbn < Vm < Vbp providing reverse bias to each photodiode. Imaging by comparing relative outputs of adjacent detectors allows improved resolution imaging where the difference in incident light tends to be small between pixels, also reducing detection loss as noise in a higher density array. The requisite voltages may be applied by a switching matrix and photodiode pairs of an e.g. linear array may be arranged sequentially in forward and reverse polarity (figure 6). Also disclosed is a method of a calibrating an imaging apparatus by applying reference illumination and determining bias voltages necessary to generate a reference e.g. zero output current.

Title: Using a liquefied gas as a centrifuge aid
Inventor: Kevin Gregory Kleinguetl
IPC: E21B21/06
Filed: 2017-10-09
Abstract: Extracting and separating solid particulates from a drilling fluid includes combining a stream of drilling fluid containing solid particulates with a liquefied gas to form a mixture having a reduced viscosity and/or density. The mixture enters a centrifugal separator at a pressure sufficient to keep the liquefied gas in a liquid phase where rotational forces promote the separation of at least a portion of the solid particulates from the mixture. At least a portion of the solid particulates are removed to form a fluid stream having reduced solids content. In embodiments the liquefied gas can be selected from the group consisting of an inert gas, an alkane gas, an alkene gas, an alkyne gas, a noble gas, and combinations thereof. The liquefied gas can be removed from the fluid stream after the centrifugal separator and recycled back to be mixed with the stream of drilling fluid containing solid particulates.

Title: Efficient encoding methods
Inventor: PETER LACEY
IPC: H04L25/08
Filed: 2020-03-30
Abstract: Where data words/values do not have equal likelihoods they can be sorted/ranked according to their non-uniform probability distribution. This allows a probability index to be assigned to each data value (e.g. 0= most likely, 1023= least likely). Where codewords are supposed to achieve a particular Hamming weight (e.g. all 0’s) or Hamming distance (e.g. minimise Hamming distances to reduce simultaneous switching) then codewords can be assigned to meet this target (e.g. most likely data values are assigned the codewords with most 0’s). The invention may be applied to memory connection busses, and graphics/video, audio or sensor data.
