Title: Color temperature tunable LED-based lamp module
Inventor: LI WEI
IPC: F21V13/02
Filed: 2013-05-03
Abstract: A light mixing and folding lamp (200) includes an LED assembly (218) with two or more LED chips that direct light into the ingress end of a light mixing rod (236). The light mixing rod is positioned to pass through an aperture (244) in a concave second reflecting element (216), and mixed light emerges from the egress end of the light mixing rod, where it is directed toward a first reflecting element (204) positioned near a focal point of the second reflecting element. The first reflecting element reflects mixed light emerging from the egress end of the light mixing rod, folding the mixed light back toward a concave reflecting surface of the second reflecting element. The second reflecting element reflects light from the first reflecting element forward, where the light emerges from the lamp directed toward a subject to be illuminated.

Title: Improved air-source heat pump
Inventor: STEPHEN FORBES PEARSON
IPC: F25B47/02
Filed: 2014-11-18
Abstract: A heat pump system comprises an air source heat pump 100 with an evaporator 102 in heat exchange with ambient air 104 and a condenser 106 in heat exchange with a target fluid 116 to heat a target such as water for space heating or domestic hot water, a defrost system to defrost the evaporator 102 using the target fluid 116 as a heat source for defrosting, and an alternative heat source 128 to heat the target fluid when the target fluid is used as a heat source. The system may comprise a valve 130 to operate the heat pump in reverse to defrost the evaporator 102. The alternative heat source 128 may be a gas or oil fired boiler and may compensate for the reduction in temperature of the target fluid when the target fluid 116 is being used to defrost the evaporator 102, or to supply additional heat to the target fluid 116 when the heat pump 100 cannot provide the required heating duty for the target fluid to heat the target. The defrost system may be initiated in response to a sensor measuring air temperature or a pressure drop across the evaporator.

Title: Monitoring device, monitoring system, and monitoring method
Inventor: UETA DAISUKE
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2015-05-20
Abstract: A monitoring device generates masked video images. Person areas (i.e. areas outlining a person or a group of people) are detected in captured moving images (e.g. CCTV video) and an image mask is applied over these person areas. The monitoring device contains a processor and a memory. A person image analyser detects people from the captured moving images and extracts positional information. An area state determinator determines the state of people (i.e. a group of people or a single standalone person) based on their positional information. A mask image setter then sets the mask image corresponding to the area state. A moving image output controller generates and outputs the video with masks applied. The area state may be classified according to the number of people in the person area. The area state may then be classified as either a group/crowd of people or a standalone/solitary person. The mask image may be a different colour, shade or pattern depending on the detected area state.

Title: Suction duct and multiple suction ducts inside a shell of a flooded evaporator
Inventor: JON PHILLIP HARTFIELD
IPC: F25B41/00
Filed: 2015-11-11
Abstract: A suction duct is disposed within a shell and tube heat exchanger. The suction duct is located relatively high and above the tube bundle so as to not entrain liquid or droplets that may be splashing and spraying upward. The suction duct is configured with an area schedule in fluid communication with a flow path inside the suction duct. The flow path is in fluid communication with an outlet of the shell. This is advantageous relative to traditional top of the shell outlets which generally have higher vertical footprints. The area schedule of the suction duct can facilitate and/or maintain relatively smooth vapor flow within the shell. The area schedule can achieve vapor flows that have some uniformity along the length of the shell, which can manage and/or avoid localized vapor flow and/or local currents, such as where high velocity may be present and where entrainment can result.
