Patent NO-994337-D0 (NO)
Inventor: OVERTON JOHN
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: A system and method for establishing and retrieving data based upon global indices established on the date of first use by a user. The system uses a distributed data name service (DDNS) which uniquely identifies users of the system based upon the unique ID of devices on the system combined with the date and time of first use by the user. Both the unique device ID and the uniques user ID's are stored on servers of the system. This unique user ID generated is used for all subsequent uses of the system by the user. Searching for data generated by devices of the system relating to a particular user is accomplished by searching for instances of the user ID on servers of the system rather than by searching for the data itself. A simplified data transport protocol allows for the transfer of data from one location to another after the data is located.

Patent GB-0714807-D0 (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for measuring breathing rate
Filed: 2007-07-30
Abstract: An example method and apparatus for measuring the breathing rate from the photoplethysmogram signal (PPG) uses auto-regressive modelling of the signal. The PPG signal is windowed in overlapping windows of typically 30 seconds' length, overlapping by 25 seconds, to obtain discrete sections of the signal and each section is low-pass filtered, downsampled and detrended and then AR modelled using an all-pole auto-regressive (AR) model. The AR model allows identification of the dominant frequencies in the signal and the pole corresponding to the breathing rate is identified by considering its magnitude and the breathing rate it represents. Each 30 second window gives a breathing rate estimate and use of successive windows displaced by 5 seconds results in a breathing rate estimate every 5 seconds. The time series of breathing rate estimates can be Kalman filtered to reject measurements which have a large change in magnitude or represent a large change in breathing rate. The measurements may also be fused with measurements from another sensor.

Title: Method and system for determining shutter fluttering sequence
Filed: 2009-12-17
Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium for determining shutter fluttering sequence. The disclosed approach is based on the use of shutter flutter technology, which means that an image can be acquired in such a manner as to encode all information about the moving subject. The disclosed approach involves determining a shutter's fluttering pattern that optimally encodes information at all frequencies. The disclosed approach involves an optimization method for finding a shutter fluttering pattern that has several desired properties. These properties can be expressed in the context of a fitness function: given a fluttering pattern and the target subject's velocity, it produces the equivalent Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), measures three attributes, and produces a fitness score. These attributes are the minimum contrast, the variance in contrast across spatial frequencies, and the mean contrast. The objective of the disclosed approach is to determine the fluttering pattern that maximizes the fitness score.

Title: Electrical power generation
IPC: F01K23/06
Filed: 1991-03-06
Abstract: A method for combined cycle electrical power generation comprises utilising a coal hydrogenator 2 and a reactor 1 for producing from a methane-rich gas a hot crude hydrogen-containing gas which is fed directly (apart from an optional quenching stage) to the coal hydrogenator. The coal hydrogenator produces gaseous and liquid products which are combusted to drive a gas turbine 5 which drives an electrical generator 6. The hydrogenator also produces char which is combusted in a boiler 10 to form steam to drive a steam turbine 11 which, in turn, drives another electrical generator 12. Such direct use of the hot crude gas avoids having to pre-heat hydrogen-containing feed to the hydrogenator.
