Title: Methods and devices for monitoring the integrity or a fluid connection
Inventor: STERNBY JAN
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 2009-06-26
Granted: 2014-09-11
Abstract: A surveillance device (25) monitors the integrity of a fluid connection (C) between first and second fluid containing systems (S 1, S2) based on at least one time-dependent measurement signal from a pressure sensor (4a-4c) in the first fluid containing system (Sl). The first fluid containing system (Sl) comprises a first pulse generator (3), and the second fluid containing system (S2) comprises a second pulse generator (3 '). The pressure sensor (4a-4c) is arranged to detect first pulses originating from the first pulse generator (3) and second pulses originating from the second pulse generator (3 '). The integrity of the fluid connection (C) is determined based on the presence of second pulses in the measurement signal. The second pulses may be detected by analysing the measurement signal in the time domain and/or by using timing information indicative of the timing of the second pulses in said at least one measurement signal. The analysis may be based on a parameter value that represents a distribution of signal values within a time window of the measurement signal. For example, the parameter value may be calculated as a statistical dispersion measure of the signal values, or may result from a matching of the signal values within the time window to a predicted temporal signal profile of a second pulse. The fluid connection (C) may be established between a human blood system and an extracorporeal blood flow circuit, e.g. for extracorporeal blood treatment.

Title: Air conditioning apparatus refrigerant quantity determination method and air conditioning apparatus
Inventor: YAMAGUCHI TAKAHIRO
IPC: F25B49/02
Filed: 2009-06-25
Granted: 2012-09-06
Abstract: The detection errors are reduced by making controls so that the degree of overcooling used as an index and a conversion value based on the degree of overcooling can be values used to easily judge the amount of refrigerant.  A method is for judging the amount of refrigerant of an air conditioner (1) including a refrigerant circuit (10).  The refrigerant circuit (10) comprises a heat source unit (2) having a compressor (21), a heat-source-side heat exchanger (23), and a cooling heat source regulating means (27), a use unit (4) having a use-side heat exchanger (41), an expansion mechanism (33), a liquid refrigerant communication pipe (6), and a gas refrigerant communication pipe (7).  The air conditioner (1) can perform at least a cooling operation.  It is judged by the method whether or not the amount of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is adequate.  The compressor frequency, the degree of overheating, and the degree of overcooling in a stable state in which the degree of overcooling is above a first predetermined value are stored.  After a predetermined period of time, the degree of overcooling of the refrigerant is determined while controls are being made so that the compressor frequency and the degree of overheating are the stored ones.  The determined degree of overcooling is compared with the stored one, and it is judged whether or not the amount of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is adequate.

Title: Flow regulator assembly
Inventor: JORDY DUSTIN R
IPC: E21B43/16
Filed: 2009-10-20
Granted: 2014-08-28
Abstract: A system for and method of supplying an injection fluid to a well assembly so that the injection fluid flows at a substantially constant flow rate. The fluid can be injected at a single site in the well assembly or multiple sites. A flow control regulator is included that attaches to the well assembly and provides a self adjusting flow control for the fluid being injected. The regulator includes a slidable floating sleeve having an orifice through which the fluid flows. The sleeve includes an inlet port that can register with a fluid supply port to allow the injection fluid to make its way into the sleeve. The fluid exits the sleeve through the orifice to generate a pressure differential across the orifice that in turn exerts a sliding force onto the sleeve. Moving the sleeve misaligns the inlet port and fluid supply port thereby throttling flow through the regulator to a predetermined flow rate.

Title: IR detector system and method
Inventor: CHALK CHRIS
IPC: H03M1/12
Filed: 2010-03-05
Granted: 2016-02-25
Abstract: An Infra Red detector system and method is disclosed for a SAR ADC capable of operation at low power such that it may be used on a Focal Plane Array FPA) detector. Conventional approaches to achieve high performance Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Charge Share Analogue to Digital Converters (ADC) require high gain comparators to achieve settling performance and high resolution which consume high power. High power consumption makes such converter approaches unattractive for use on Focal Plane Array (FPA) detectors that have to be cooled to cryogenic temperatures. Many such ADCs are used on a FPA detector (i.e. up to one ADC per column of the imaging array) to digitise image data for the whole array at standard frame rates. Increased power makes cooling difficult to achieve or unattractive at system level. The system disclosed uses an adaptive approach to set the comparator gain and settling time depending on the dynamics of the input signal, thereby achieving required performance whilst reducing overall power

Abstract: MULTI-VIEW ALIGNMENT BASED ON FIXED-SCALE GROUND PLANE RECTIFICATION Abstract Disclosed herein are a system and method of generating a common ground plane from a plurality of image sequences. Each image sequence (1400 - 1420, 1460 - 1470) is captured by a corresponding one of a plurality of cameras (1100, 1101), wherein the plurality of cameras (1100, 1101) have disjoint fields of view of a scene. The method 5 detects at least three observations (1405, 1415, 1425, 146, 1466, 1471) for each image sequence (1400 - 1420, 1460 - 1470). Each observation is a detected object. The method determines a scene geometry for each camera (1100, 1101), based on the detected observations in the image sequence corresponding to the camera. The method determines a spatial property of each camera, based on the scene geometry for each respective camera. 10 The method rectifies (340, 390) each of the image sequences to generate a plurality of rectified ground planes. The method determines a statistical property of the plurality of observations in the plurality of image sequences and determines (350) relative scaling factors of a common ground plane relative to each of the plurality of rectified ground planes. The method then generates the common ground plane from the plurality of image is sequences, based on the rectified ground planes and the determined relative scaling factors. 5182696 IDOC IRN: 983787 - 1/18 Sta rt Moving object detection 110 Tracking moving objects in each FOV Finding tracking 120 correspondences Multiview alignment Object depth estimation 2D track construction 3D track construction i End Fig. 1 5182390_1.vSD
