Title: Method and apparatus for electrode impedance measurement
Inventor: RAY KEECH
IPC: G01F1/60
Filed: 2015-11-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining a measure of electrical impedance in respect of one or more sensing electrodes of an electromagnetic flowmeter. This is achieved by intermittently injecting an impedance measurement signal to at least one of the sensing electrodes 2A, 2B whilst an excitation drive signal is applied to the field generating coils 3 of the flowmeter. During a first interval, when the excitation drive signal is applied to the coils and the impedance measurement signal is injected to at least one of the sensing electrodes, a first measurement signal is obtained from the sensing electrodes, the first measurement signal comprising an electromagnetically induced flow measurement signal and an electrode impedance measurement signal. During a second interval, when the excitation drive signal is applied to the coils but the impedance measurement signal is not injected to at least one of the sensing electrodes, a second measurement signal is obtained from the sensing electrodes, the second measurement signal comprising an electromagnetically induced flow measurement signal. The first measurement signal and the second measurement signal are then combined (e.g. subtracted, for example using a comb filter) to obtain an output signal comprising the electrode impedance measurement signal without the electromagnetically induced flow measurement signal.

Title: Homing (Location) Beacon, For Ariel/Aircraft Drone, Parcel Delivery System
Inventor: TREVOR REED
IPC: G01S1/70
Filed: 2017-01-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a homing beacon for a delivery drone which may have a rechargeable lithium battery so that it can be left in an appropriate location for a drone to drop off a parcel. The use of infrared means that once the drone is within range of the beacon (achieved by using GPS or similar) the drone can land within centimeters of the beacon. This is preferable over the meters of uncertainty which are common in GPS location. The device may have a micro USB, a VHF or UHF radio transmitter/receiver and/or an IEEE 802.11 transmitter and receiver. The beacon may therefore be linked to a users personal computer using either the micro USB link or a wireless network. The beacon may further be securable with a PIN number. This might act as a deterrent to potential thieves who would want to steal the beacon. Plastic is a suitable material for the case which may be designed to be weatherproof.

Patent GB-2567425-A (GB)
Title: A positioning system
Inventor: TOMAS FILLINGER
IPC: B60N2/22
Filed: 2017-10-06
Abstract: A positioning system (3, figure 4) for a moveable vehicle seat assembly (17, 19), comprising an actuator (60) for moving at least one component (39, e.g. a bulkhead or partition) of the seat assembly between first and second positions, and a spring (74, 76) configured to bias the at least one component away from the second position. Preferably, a spring arrangement 72 comprises two clock torsion springs 74, 76 wound up in opposite directions to form a resilient coils. The first spring may store more energy than the second spring. Preferably first and second springs each have a handover position at which they cease biasing the component, e.g. by disengaging a protruding member 78 of the component. The spring arrangement 72 may work together with the actuator (60) to control movement of a bulkhead (8, figure 2) relative to a seatback or squab (24, figure 2). The elastic spring assistance may enable the actuator output to remain almost constant as the bulkhead moves between unfolded and folded positions. By modulating the actuator output, springs 74, 76 may allow the actuator to move quieter and prolong its working life.

Title: Methods and data processing apparatus for deblending seismic data
Inventor: MATTHIEU GUILLOUET
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2015-12-14
Abstract: Seismic data is deblended by performing, for each receiver, a first inversion and a second inversion in a transform domain. The first inversion is formulated to minimize a number of non-zero coefficients of the first inversion result. A sub-domain of the transform domain is defined by vectors of a transform domain basis for which the first inversion has yielded the non-zero coefficients. The second inversion is performed in this sub-domain. The solution of the second inversion is used to extract deblended seismic datasets corresponding to each of the distinct signals, from the seismic data.

Title: Log-periodic antenna with a passband and a stopband
Inventor: PAVLOS LAZARIDIS
IPC: H01Q11/10
Filed: 2017-11-10
Abstract: A log-periodic antenna comprises dipole elements not in a monotonically increasing sequence of length which are arranged on metallic booms. The dipole elements and/or the booms may be cylindrical, rectangular or thin metal sheet type formations. The lengths of, and/or spacing between, the dipole elements, may differ from those present in a classical log-periodic antenna design according to Isbell and Carrel. The elements of the antenna may be optimized to achieve a desired passband or stopband. The optimized dipole elements can be in the short, middle or long elements of the array to reject frequencies, respectively, at high, medium or low frequencies. The passband may be that of a UHF TV reception antenna and the stopband may be that used for mobile cellular devices. The antenna may be produced on a flat circuit board (PCB). The antenna may avoid the need for any external frequency band filters and can provide highly directional characteristics with a relatively flat gain between 7dBi and 12dBi, depending on the number of dipoles used.
