Title: Restricting the bending of an underwater cable
Inventor: DARREN JOHN BLACKBURN
IPC: H02G3/04
Filed: 2015-07-25
Abstract: A bend restrictor for underwater cables or pipes consists of a series of links or shells, each shell consisting of two half-shells 301 and 302. The half-shells have mutually engaging surfaces and are held together by two axial pins placed on diametrically opposite sides of the half shells (only pin 508 is shown). The mutually engaging surfaces have interdigitating castellations (only castellations 501, 502, 503, 505, 506 on one side of the shell are shown). The shell is opened by removing one pin and positioning cable 502 within an axial void defined by the open shell. The shell is then closed and the pin manually inserted and secured. Each shell has a knuckle portion 509 which has an outer surface 510. Assembling the restrictor requires engaging the outer surface of the knuckle with an overlapping inner surface of a neighbouring shell (not shown). The shells can be moulded from structural polyurethane.

Patent GB-2551529-A (GB)
Title: Detection circuitry
Inventor: ADNAN KHAN
IPC: G06F12/084
Filed: 2016-06-21
Abstract: A data processing system 300 has several sources of memory requests, such as processors 102, 104. The sources have a local memory, such as a cache 106, 108. The sources also have a shared memory, such as a shared cache 110. Atomic operation requests may be handled by obtaining exclusive access to a data item and processing the request in the local memory. Alternatively, atomic operations may be carried out by an arithmetic/logic unit 306 in the shared memory circuitry 302. Contention detection circuitry 304 monitors contention between the atomic requests from different sources for items of data. If the contention for a particular item is greater than a threshold it switches from handling atomic operations for that item in local memory to handling them in the shared memory. The threshold may be a number of contending requests without any intervening non-contending requests. Alternatively, the threshold may be the number of contending requests in a given time period.

Title: Collimator for providing constant collimation effect
Inventor: MORGAN GREGORY CARPENTER
IPC: G21K1/02
Filed: 2016-08-24
Abstract: A scanning beam collimator 40 comprises a twisted slit of radiation transmissive material, such as air, defined within a prolate spheroid body 41 of radiation attenuating material, such as tungsten. The twisted slit includes a first aperture 43 extending at least partially around the body in a plane orthogonal to a major axis B of the prolate spheroid, and a second aperture 44 extending at least partially around the body in a spiral form relative to the major axis such that all direct pathways from an entry point in one of the apertures to an exit point in the other, and passing through the major axis at a predetermined angle, are of constant length so as to provide a constant collimation effect. Rotation of the collimator about the major axis relative to a stationary point at the first aperture, allows radiation from a source positioned at said point to be collimated into a scanning beam with constant collimation across the angular range of the scan.

Title: Monitoring the operation of a work machine
Inventor: David Wisley
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 2016-12-23
Abstract: A surveying device 15 measures a surface profile of a terrain of a worksite 14 and generates surface profile data indicative of the surface profile or topography. Route data is received indicative of a route 12 of a work machine 11 moving over the terrain. Simulated machine operational data is received indicative of a simulated operating parameter of the work machine whilst moving along the route. The route data, simulated machine operational data and actual surface profile data are processed to generate monitored operating condition data indicative of an operating condition of the work machine. The simulated machine operational data may be based on an operator input, or retrieved from a database or look-up table. The monitored operating condition data may be used to generate an alert for an operator, which may indicate stress or strain levels, which indicate that a machine structure needs repairing or replacing.

Title: Electrosurgical system
Inventor: TONY ATWELL
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2017-02-03
Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical instrument comprising jaws 13, 14 provided with a cutting electrode (16, Fig 1) and at least two coagulating/sealing electrodes and a closure detecting means preferably in the form of pressure sensors, strain gauges 75A-D, or distance gauges (76, Fig 12A) - for detecting whether the jaws 13, 14 are in their open or closed position. The device also comprises first and second switches (40, 43; Fig 6) to supply different RF waveforms to the electrodes. Actuation of the first switch effects the supply of a first, preferably coagulating, waveform whereas the waveform supplied by the second switch is dependent upon the position of the jaws 13, 14. If the detecting means 75, 76 indicate that the jaws 13, 14 have not been moved from their closed position since the first switch was activated then the waveform supplied by the second switch is a second, preferably cutting waveform. Whereas if when the second switch is activated, the detecting means indicate that the jaws 13, 14 have been moved between their closed and open positions since the first switch was activated then the waveform supplied is a third, preferably blended cutting and coagulating, waveform.

Title: Off road autonomous driving
Inventor: JIANBO LU
IPC: B60W50/14
Filed: 2017-04-25
Abstract: A vehicle system which determines whether an autonomous host vehicle can traverse an environmental obstacle. If the autonomous host vehicle can traverse the environmental obstacle 410, an active suspension system is controlled 420 in accordance with the environmental obstacle to traverse the obstacle. This may be used for driving in off-road conditions. The obstacle may be detected using environmental sensors 405. If there is a risk of vehicle roll-over, the system may also determine whether passengers should exit or leave the vehicle before traversing the obstacle 425 and generate an alert or warning 445 if this is the case. The vehicle may only negotiate the obstacle once it is determined that all passengers or occupants have exited the vehicle. The vehicle may traverse the obstacle based on a user authorization input, which may be from a wireless or remote device.

Title: Tire monitor
Inventor: Jorge Manuel RODRIGUEZ VAZQUEZ
IPC: G01M17/02
Filed: 2017-06-22
Abstract: A vehicle includes a tyre monitor 400 in a wheel arch 404 that is configured to project one or more beams (typically of light) onto a tyre 300, for example at emitter 401, and measure reflections of the beams, suitably at receiver 402. Tyre monitor 400 also comprises memory and one or more processors that build a two-dimensional (2D) profile of the tyre based on the reflections, compare depths of the built profile to depths of a preloaded profile and assess tyre wear based on the comparison. An anti-theft alarm may sound based on the reflections or the lack of reflections. A preloaded profile may be selected based on tyre pressure, tyre temperature and tyre load, and the system may refrain from building a profile if a sensed moisture level exceeds a predetermined level. A search routine may be run, for example when the vehicle is parked, which may rotate the tyre in opposite directions.
