Title: A system and method for controlling temperature in a refrigerated vehicle
Inventor: STUART SKINGSLEY
IPC: B61D27/00
Filed: 2017-02-03
Abstract: The system is for use with a refrigerated delivery vehicle and enables efficient cooling of the refrigerated compartment of the vehicle to avoid unnecessary idling of the vehicle's engine. The system comprises a programmable module that uses data regarding vehicle location, gearbox position, bonnet position, handbrake position, and temperature of the refrigerated compartment of the vehicle. The module autonomously switches the engine on and off in response to the received data. The module may receive data regarding the vehicle battery voltage, switching the engine on for a pre-set time between 10 and 60 minutes when the data is received. Vehicle location can be determined by a GPS receiver in the vehicle, and the vehicle ideally must be within a geo-fence to permit the module to switch the engine on. A visual or audible alarm, such as hazard lights or a horn, may activate prior to the module switching the engine on. The system is ideally for use when loading the delivery vehicle with store orders at a distribution site where the vehicle is stationary for long periods.

Title: Register-based matrix multiplication
Inventor: DAVID HENNAH MANSELL
IPC: G06F17/16
Filed: 2017-06-28
Abstract: First and second matrices of data elements are extracted from first and second source registers, and plural dot product operations, acting on respective rows of the first matrix and respective columns of the second matrix are performed to generate a square matrix of result data elements, which is applied to a destination register. A higher computation density for a given number of register operands is achieved with respect to vector-by-element techniques. Applying the square matrix of result data may be done by accumulating the square matrix result with a previously stored results square matrix, and may be applied to a first portion of the destination register. The source element bit length may differ from the result by a factor of two or more. Configuration instructions may specify a maximum vector length.

Title: Virtual assistant generation of group recommendations
Inventor: Shlomo Krepner
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2017-09-29
Abstract: The application relates to using intelligent virtual computational assistants to provide a recommendation to a group of users using information at two privacy levels. Following a request 402 for a recommendation for the group, an original list of recommendations is generated 406 using first privacy level data for the groups users, such as publicly available information about each user. Respective virtual assistants associated with the groups users each evaluate the original list of recommendations based on second privacy level data for their corresponding user to determine whether each recommendation should be included in a pruned list of recommendations for the group 408. The second privacy level data is more restricted than the first privacy level data, such as private information about the user. If the pruned list includes any recommendations, these are presented to the groups users 412. If the pruned list is empty then weighted second privacy level data may be used to form a second pruned list of recommendations based on whether the weighted data suggests complete, partial or any negative preference for each recommendation 414. This method may be used to provide group recommendations based on users private information without publicly revealing that information.

Title: Downhole fluid flow control system and method having autonomous flow control
Inventor: LIANG ZHAO
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2015-09-30
Abstract: A downhole fluid flow control system and method includes a fluid control module having a main fluid pathway, a valve element and a pressure sensing module. The valve element has open and closed positions relative to the main fluid pathway to allow and prevent fluid flow therethrough. The pressure sensing module includes a secondary fluid pathway in parallel with the main fluid pathway having an upstream pressure sensing location and a downstream pressure sensing location with a cross sectional area transition region therebetween. In operation, the valve element moves between open and closed positions responsive to a pressure difference between pressure signals from the upstream and downstream pressure sensing locations. The pressure difference is dependent upon the change in cross sectional area and the viscosity of a fluid flowing through the secondary fluid pathway such that the viscosity is operable to control fluid flow through the main fluid pathway.

Title: System integration for design and production of clothing
Inventor: MICHEL BIJVOET
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2018-08-31
Abstract: Supplying a customer with textile products such as garments 18 requires receiving a set of the customer’s biometric body measurements such as age, weight, height and collar size. A prediction model 40 derives a second set of estimated body measurements based on the actual body measurements. A fitting quality value is calculated for stock garments, made to measure clothes or e-bespoke products as a function of both the actual and estimated body measurements. Any products which do not meet the fitting quality value, such as falling below a threshold, are rejected. If any stock or made to measure products meet the fitting quality value then the customer receives that product, such as off-the-rack apparel. Otherwise, the customer receives an e-bespoke product, such as a bespoke garment from the manufacturer 16. Also disclosed is software which receives textile product design data or a set of biometric body measurements from a customer. The received data is mapped to a predictor system using an API based on: a sizing table; determining how well the product will fit the biometric data; and allowing a customer to input a preference for buying a stock, made to measure or e-bespoke product.
