Title: Turbine engine blower module, including a turbine engine inlet cone de-icing system and de-icing method
Inventor: KEVIN MORGANE LEMARCHAND
IPC: F02C7/047
Filed: 2016-03-31
Abstract: The invention relates to an aeronautical turbine engine blower module including a system (10) for de-icing an inlet cone (1) comprising a sheath (30) placed inside an inner space defined upstream by the inlet cone. Said sheath includes a first channel (38) having at least one hot air inlet (42). Said first channel is configured so as to direct hot air from a bearing chamber (22) of the turbine engine to a wall of the inlet cone so as to internally reheat said cone. The sheath also comprises a second channel (40) having at least one outlet located downstream of the inlet of the first channel. Said second channel is configured so as to evacuate the air from the first channel to the downstream end of the turbine engine. The invention also relates to a turbine engine inlet cone de-icing method.

Title: Vehicle localization based on wireless local area network
Inventor: GOPICHANDRA SURNILLA
IPC: G01S19/48
Filed: 2017-11-02
Abstract: If a vehicle loses reception of GPS signals, for example in urban canyons, it scans for wireless network nodes and, when the locations of those nodes are known (i.e. stored in memory), received signal strength (RSS) measurements are processed using a particle filtering technique to determine the vehicles location. If the locations of the nodes are not already known, then a simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM) technique may be used to determine the vehicles location and the locations of the wireless nodes. The node locations may then be stored in memory for future use. The particles may represent possible coordinates of the vehicles location, and these coordinates may be constrained using pre-stored navigation data. The particles may be weighted based on the locations and RSS measurements of the network nodes, and the particle with the highest weight may be selected as the likeliest location of the vehicle (Fig. 4).

Title: Improvements in or relating to the monitoring of fluid pipes
Inventor: MICHAEL PARKER
IPC: G01M11/08
Filed: 2018-02-28
Abstract: A fluid pipe (1, fig 1) is monitored using a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) fibre 10 provided within the pipe. The DAS fibre 10 is coupled at one end to a light emitter 101 and a light detector 102. The light emitter 101 emits light pulses into the DAS fibre. The light detector 102 detects backscattered light so as to provide an indication of the vibration experienced by each section of the DAS fibre 10 and thus of vibration characteristic of particular pipe events including leaks or the lie. The DAS fibre 10 in pipe 1 can also be used to locate the route of a buried pipe 1 by successively tamping the ground surface at a number of locations A-E in the vicinity of the suspected route of the pipe and comparing the tamping vibrations detected from each location A-E (see fig 7).

Title: Vehicle localization using cameras
Inventor: Sarah Houts
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2018-03-09
Abstract: A position of a camera or image sensor is determined by comparing 306 a top-down view of a ground surface to a map. The top-down view is generated 302 from an image obtained from the image sensor. The map may be a previously obtained top-down light detection and ranging (LIDAR) intensity map or a vector based semantic map. The image sensor may be mounted on a vehicle and the ground or driving plane may be segmented from the image. A synthetic image may be generated from the map comprising dark pixels for a road surface and light or bright pixel for road line markings. Map data may be extracted 304 for a region where a vehicle is located where an approximate location for the camera or vehicle is determined using a GPS receiver. Transforming the sensor image into a top-down view requires only one transformation or projection for the comparison and avoids map transformation into hypothesized camera frame at various locations of the map.

Title: Sensor cleaning system
Inventor: DAVID SCHMIDT
IPC: G02B27/00
Filed: 2018-03-09
Abstract: A method comprises actuating a contactless cleaner of a sensor 130 window 215 and upon determining that the opacity of the window exceeds a predetermined threshold after actuation of the contactless cleaner, actuating a contacting cleaner. The contactless cleaner may include a mechanism which does not physically touch the window, such as an air or fluid nozzle (240 and 245 respectively). The contacting cleaner may include a mechanism which, in at least one position, touches the window such as a wiper 235. The method may further include actuating a second contactless cleaner upon determining that the opacity of the window exceeds a predetermined threshold after actuation of the first contactless cleaner for a predetermined time. If the sensor is of a rotating type, interpretation of data may be adjusted so as to compensate for any change in rotational speed caused by the contacting cleaner. The sensor may be a LIDAR sensor based on a ground vehicle.

Title: An Apparatus and Method for Controlling Allocation Of Instructions Into An Instruction Cache Storage
Inventor: FRÉDÉRIC CLAUDE MARIE PIRY
IPC: G06F21/71
Filed: 2018-04-10
Abstract: An apparatus and corresponding method for controlling allocation of instructions into an instruction cache to counteract cache timing side-channel attacks. There is processing circuitry, fetch circuitry 6 for fetching instructions from memory, instruction cache storage 155 for storing the fetched instructions and cache control circuitry 150 which, in response to a branching or instruction flow changing instruction necessitating an instruction fetch, prevents allocation of a fetched instruction into the storage if the fetched instruction is not a specific type of instruction. The fetched instruction may not have to be from a specific address range. The specific type of instruction may be a dummy instruction such as a no-op or landing pad instruction for the purposes of identifying that the address used to fetch the instruction is legitimate. The processing circuitry may be arranged to execute software that is configured to use the specified types of instruction at each memory address that is a legitimate target address of an instruction flow changing instruction.
