Title: Hydration monitors and systems
Inventor: ANATOLI KRASSAVINE
IPC: G01F23/296
Filed: 2019-05-16
Abstract: A hydration monitor 1 for use in combination with a jug or other container 2 of water or other hydration liquid 3 includes a sensor unit (4,fig.2) which may be an ultrasonic or light transmitter 5 and receiver 6, for deriving data dependent on the current quantity of liquid 3 in the jug 2 from reflections from above the air-liquid interface. Changes in the quantity of liquid 3 over a set period of time are used by an accumulator 9,fig.2) and compared in a comparator (12,fig.2) with a target for the period set in a unit (11,fig.2). Lamps 14 or 13 are energised according to whether respectively, the target is met or not, and a lamp 8 may be lit when liquid level is low. A plurality of monitor-jug combinations may be used in a hospital and monitored from a central monitoring station. The hydration monitor may alternatively be positioned at the base of the jug 2 (see fig.3). The quantity of liquid 3 may alternatively be derived by weighing. The monitor may alert a caregiver to a shortfall of liquid consumed by a patient.

Filed: 2019-07-18
Abstract: A cascaded filter for radio frequency (RF) filtering comprises a hybrid acoustic LC filter 62, configured to filter an RF signal, cascaded with a non-acoustic LC filter 64. The hybrid acoustic LC filter includes a first acoustic resonator, e.g. A61, on an acoustic resonator die, a second acoustic resonator A62, a capacitor C601-C604 external to the acoustic resonator die, and an inductor L601-L606 external to the acoustic resonator die. The non-acoustic LC filter may include integrated passive devices (IPD) C605-C610, L608 on an IPD die 65. A multiplexer (Fig.4) comprises the RF cascaded filter and a second filter, each coupled to a common node, and a wireless communication device includes the RF cascaded filter in a RF front end which is in communication with an antenna. In alternative arrangements a cascaded filter circuit, filtering method and wireless communication device do not require the second acoustic resonator, and the hybrid acoustic LC filter and non-acoustic LC filter are selectably connected in cascade by a switch (Fig.2, 22). The cascaded filter may be used in communication devices which require a relatively high filter bandwidth and high intermodulation distortion (IMD) rejection to comply with standards.

Title: Wireless microphone with local storage
Inventor: AUDUN SOLVANG
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2019-12-19
Abstract: A base unit produces a spatially encoded sound field signal by using a microphone array 10 to capture local audio signals. A remote sound source 7 is captured using a remote microphone 26 associated with the source (such as a Lavalier mic). The remote microphone has storage 28 for the captured sound. A position of the remote microphone is determined and used, together with the stored remote audio signal and the local sound-field signal, to generate a spatially encoded soundtrack in accordance with the determined position of the remote source. The remote audio signal may be stored at a higher quality or fidelity than if it were processed in real time. The remote microphone and base unit may communicate wirelessly, or via a temporary wired connection such as a dock (16, 32. The position of the microphone may be determined through correlation of the remote and local audio signals.

Title: Seals by mechanically deforming degradable materials
Inventor: MICHAEL LINLEY FRIPP
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2018-02-22
Abstract: A device and method for providing a temporary seal during installation of downhole components is disclosed according to one or more embodiments. A tubular sleeve is made of a degradable material and may be disposed within a downhole component or may be disposed around an outer surface of the downhole component. The tubular sleeve is positioned relative the downhole component such that fluid flow is prevented from passing through at least one aperture in the downhole component. The tubular sleeve is secured to the downhole component by swedging, mechanical fasteners, or adhesives. In the swedging process, the tubular sleeve is mechanically deformed by applying a force to the sleeve, which stretches and then recoils back an amount once the force is removed. Once installed, the tubular sleeve will eventually degrade, allowing fluid to flow through the at least one aperture in the downhole component.

Abstract: A mobile apparatus (e.g. personal device) is downloading and updating a thematic map with data from a remote database server using a location sensor (e.g. GPS). The apparatus is then presenting to a user the thematic map with suggested activity options in a first display mode. The user then selects an activity based on: a user preference, activity history, activity intensity, time, date, location or adjacent location. The apparatus then starts the selected activity and displays performance related information in the first display mode (e.g. relating to position, distance, speed, heart rate). The apparatus then enters a second display mode (first power save mode) and displays time and an activity thematic map with reduced functionality (e.g. reduced display resolution, colours, content, slower updates). Finally, the apparatus is entering a second power save mode by putting a processing core in hibernating mode. The apparatus may have two processing cores (high power- P1 and low power- P2, fig 8) each one controlling a respective display mode. When in the second power save mode the display may receive Real Time Clock (RTC) 860 updates. The activity options may include updated heatmaps created for different sports in the said location.

Title: Methods and systems and apparatus to support reduced energy and water usage
Inventor: Peter Konowalczyk
IPC: F24H4/04
Filed: 2021-07-02
Abstract: A hot water supply for a building is heated by an instantaneous (tankless) water heater. The heater comprises a heat pump 120 to heat water via a heat exchanger disposed in a thermal store 140 containing a phase change material (PCM). A processor 150 controls the heat pump based upon measurements from one or more flow sensors 170 that detect opening of an outlet 130 of the hot water supply. A sufficient mass of PCM is provided in the thermal store to heat water to a predetermined temperature using latent energy of the PCM whilst the heat pump initialises/activates and gets up to a useful operating temperature that can heat the water. An electric heater 220 controlled by the processor based on readings from temperature sensors 210 can be used to accommodate shortfalls in heating by the PCM and/or heat pump. The processor may not start the heat pump at all if the flow sensors indicate a small water draw from the outlet that can be heated entirely by the PCM.
