Title: A method and a controller for controlling a battery of a vehicle
Inventor: BALRAJ GHATAORE
IPC: H01M10/635
Filed: 2018-04-25
Abstract: A method for preheating a vehicle battery (104, Fig 2) comprises warming the battery by controlling a time-varying electrical loading of a battery before an anticipated start time when the temperature of the battery is indicated to be below a threshold temperature. The time-varying electrical load is controlled such that the duration of a relatively higher electrical load is shorter than the duration of a relatively lower electrical load. The variation in electrical load may include an increase in electrical load followed by a decrease in electrical load, for example a decrease to zero electrical load. The electrical load may be pulsed and pulses may have the same maximum load or different maximum loads. The variation in electrical load may include a step and/or ramp from a first above-zero electrical load to a second, higher, above-zero electrical load. The anticipated start time may be dependent on a user setting; detection of a user approaching or entering the vehicle; or machine learning which could for example be based on data on previous use of the vehicle. The electrical loading may be commenced at a threshold time before the anticipated start time. Controlling the electrical loading may comprise activating a dummy load (110, Fig 2).

Title: Calculating suspended scatterer velocity
Inventor: ANDREW MICHAEL SMERDON
IPC: G01P5/24
Filed: 2020-02-12
Abstract: Acoustic signals are transmitted into fluid medium 109 containing scatterers. Scatterer velocity is calculated based on a calculated rate of change of phase associated with a plurality of backscatter signals, each resulting from a corresponding transmitted signal. Two subsets of transmission signals have different frequencies or frequency profiles. Scatterers may be particles, droplets or bubbles. Backscatter signals may be quadrature sampled voltage signals. The velocity may be a rising or settling velocity, the signals being measured vertically. Transmission signals may have the same frequency and/or phase profile. A transmission period of a transmission rate may be varied. In an aspect, an acoustic backscatter instrument, perhaps having multiple transducers 101, transmits the acoustic signals and measures the backscatter signals. In aspects, a data-processing system and software perform the calculations.

Title: Item location tracking via image analysis and projection
Inventor: EVAN M GOLDBERG
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2021-08-11
Abstract: The application relates to tracking an item of interest through an environment and is accomplished using passive optical tracking where an item is identified in an image of the environment using image processing and various locations of the item are tracked through the environment. When a user wants to know an item’s location, a location image is projected onto the location of the item to allow a user to view a current location of the item. The application comprises receiving an image of a physical environment and identifying from the image an item of interest in the physical environment e.g. car keys the determining from the image a first location of the item of interest within the physical environment. The location of the item is then tracked within the physical environment over a period of time and using a projector, a location image is projected into the physical environment that indicates to a user the current location of the item of interest. The invention may include projecting at least one guidance image into the physical environment to guide the user to the current location of the item of interest and providing a visual indication to the user when the user has reached the current location of the item of interest within the physical environment. Identifying the item of interest in the physical environment may comprise receiving an item of interest input from the user, identifying at least one feature of the item of interest, possibly from an item of interest data store and processing the image using the at least one feature to identify the item of interest.

Title: An articulated member
Inventor: JIANZHONG SHANG
IPC: A61B17/29
Filed: 2021-12-21
Abstract: Articulated member 2 for surgical instruments has two pairs of pivoting joints. Joints in each pair are linked so pivoting one results in pivoting of the other within the pair. First pivoting pair comprises proximal 11a and distal joints 12a each of which is rotatable about axes 14. The axes 14 of first pair have a common first rotation plane extending longitudinally through the articulated member 2. Second pivoting pair comprises proximal 11b and distal joints 12b each of which is rotatable about axes 14. The axes 14 of second pair both extend across a second rotation plane that is perpendicular to the first rotation plane so the second pair pivot orthogonally to first pivot pair. Coupling tendons 26a,26b,26c,26d link the pivoting joints within their pair and extend through receiving portions 22 along the articulated member 2. Tendons are fixed between each proximal and distal end and each tendon is in a different plane from the first and second rotation planes. Junction 24 is positioned so the tendons can be arranged to cross over. Crossing tendons makes the pivoting joint pairs rotate in the same direction. Another embodiment bypasses the junction so the pairs pivot in opposite directions (figs 7-9).
