Patent GB-2514412-A (GB)
Title: Auto-tuning for non-parametric convolution model-based predictive functional controller
Inventor: DOVZAN DEJAN
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2013-05-24
Abstract: A method of tuning, preferably auto-tuning (fig.1), of a predictive functional controller 3. The method is based on a non-parametric convolution model of the process 4. It can be used only for stable processes. The method may include the classical PFC control law being altered in a way that only a recorded step response reference 1 can be used for tuning. Such a modification may lower the number of parameters for PFC tuning and simplifies the retuning procedure by skipping a conventional step of identifying the process model parameters. Preferably the method enables the control law to be modified in order to implement anti-windup protection and include an exponential decay of future control signals in the minimization process called implicit filtering 10 of the control signals.

Title: Communications system
Inventor: PEERS-SMITH ROY PETER
IPC: H04B1/44
Filed: 2013-07-12
Abstract: A communications system comprising a signal transmission arrangement for outputting a first signal for transmission, a first controller operable to control the transmission of the first signal such that the transmitted signal takes a pulsed form 28 with gaps 28b between the pulses, a radio signal receiver arrangement forming or including a bandpass filter and arranged to receive a second signal, and a second controller operable such that the second signal is processed only during the gaps in the first signal 40. The first and second controllers are synchronised such that the signal processed by the receiver arrangement is reconstituted in the bandpass filter into a continuous signal, substantially free of interference from the first signal. The second controller may control the second signal so that it takes a pulsed form corresponding to the gaps in the first signal, or it may modify the second signal so that the receiver only processes these parts of the signal. The invention prevents receiver desensitisation caused by nearby signal transmission.Â

IPC: C23C16/26
Filed: 2014-09-22
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a graphene sheet comprises the steps of: providing a container 10 containing liquid 12 and a volume above the liquid; supplying carbon atoms to the volume; and allowing carbon atoms to settle on the surface of the liquid and to coalesce to form the graphene sheet 26.

Preferably, the carbon atoms (14, fig 1a) are supplied via a port 16, and may derive from a carbon containing precursor gas, such as a hydrocarbon like methane or ethane and especially a carbohydrate, or from a particulate graphite precursor. The liquid 12 may be agitated, e.g. by mechanical stirring or ultrasonic agitation 24, in order to encourage graphene fragments (18, fig 1a) to coalesce into graphene sheets 26. Preferably, the graphene sheet 26 is removed from the liquid after formation, e.g. by draining the liquid and resting the sheet on a porous substrate (30, figs 2a and 2b) or by collection on a roller (32, figs 3a and 3b).

Title: Method and apparatus for assessing photoresponsive elements
Inventor: JOHNSTON MICHAEL
IPC: H02S50/15
Filed: 2014-10-17
Abstract: A photoresponsive element 14 such as a solar cell is tested by passing light from a broadband solar simulator source 11 through an interferometer 12 such that a varying interference pattern is incident on the element and measuring the signal from the element. The spectral response of the element may be computed by transforming the time domain signal from the element to the frequency domain by FFT. A current density voltage (J-V) characteristic of the element may be determined by measuring the offset (40, Fig 2a) of the signal, and a J-V curve determined by applying and varying a bias voltage. The light transmitted and reflected by the element may be measured by detectors 31, 32. The spectrum of the source light may also be measured by detector 33 as a reference channel to help determine the efficiency of the element. The interference pattern on the element may be varied by moving a mirror 22 on one arm of a Michelson interferometer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dispensing container comprising a vessel 12, the vessel having: a formation and/or discrete element, for example a groove 20, in or on the vessel which causes the centre of gravity of contents of the vessel to be positioned differently, when oriented in a lain-on side attitude, from its notional position, in the absence of the formation or element in or on the vessel; an additional formation or discrete element, for example, bands or tyres 28 in or on the vessel which, when the container is in the lain-on-side attitude, lifts at least a portion of the container away from a surface, wherein, when the container is in the lain-on-side attitude and has a first volume of content, the centre of gravity of the content biases the container to a first orientation, and when the container is in the lain-on-side attitude and has a second volume of content, the centre of gravity of the container biases the container to a second orientation, different to the first. The arrangement is such that when the container is in an attitude of being lain on its sidewall 24 container 10 will roll, changing its orientation, until the groove 20 is at the surface of the liquid 26, thus the extent of fullness of the container 10 can be determined by where the groove 20 comes to rest. The tyre or band formation 28 can be 3D printed, an embossed label, or manufactured from rubber, silicone and affixed to the vessel by adhesive.

Title: Method for x-ray luminescent separation of minerals and x-ray luminescent separator for carrying out said method
Inventor: KAZAKOV LEONID VASILIEVICH
IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 2013-11-21
Abstract: The inventions relate to the field of enriching mineral deposits, and specifically to classifying crushed mineral material containing minerals which are luminescent under the action of exciting radiation as a product which can be enriched and a residual product. The X-ray luminescent separation of minerals consists in transporting a stream of material to be classified, irradiating the material with a periodic sequence of pulses of exciting radiation within the range of a specified section of the free-fall trajectory of the material, recording the intensity of the signal of luminescence of the mineral over the course of each period of the sequence, processing the recorded signal in real time in association with specified conditions for each of the kinetic components in order to determine the classification parameters, comparing the parameters produced with specified threshold values and, on the basis of the comparison results, separating a mineral which can be enriched from the stream of material being transported. The proposed inventions ensure an increase in the selectivity of extracting minerals which can be enriched from the materials being classified, and also make it possible to classify minerals according to type simultaneously with the extraction.
