Title: Software application and related methods
Inventor: Christopher knox
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2021-04-19
Abstract: A method and system for processing project plan datasets to improve the functionality of project management software. First and second datasets of baseline data are imported from a project management module. Preferably, the datasets are periodic snapshots. The datasets are mapped into data objects that represent work task entities of the project plans. Dependencies between individual work task entities are identified based on fields in the datasets. Links are created in the data objects to other data objects in order to represent those dependencies. An analytics engine analyses the datasets to track progress and/or allocations of work task entities and produce report(s) containing actionable information output.

Title: Aircraft and method of controlling
Inventor: STEFAN ALEXANDER SCHWINDT
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2018-12-11
Abstract: A method 140 of controlling an aircraft 10 comprises tracking 141, with a sensor, an input by a pilot during flight of the aircraft. The method includes determining 142 from the sensor data a lack of attention by the pilot. A predetermined amount of lack of attention, or a controlled rest, is allowed 143 before a system of the aircraft is controlled 144. Also disclosed is a method of determining lack of attention or depth of sleep of a pilot based on biometric parameters, in which access to an aircraft system is modified by moving the pilot’s seat or denying access to a system for a period of time. The method may include determining a portion of the flight plan during which a period of controlled rest is allowable e.g. when cruising at altitude. An indication may be provided in the cockpit that controlled rest is allowable, but only if a second pilot is present and not sleeping. A timer may monitor a period of controlled rest, and trigger a wake-up procedure e.g. audible warning, vibrating seat. If unacceptable absence or incapacitation of the pilot is determined then a recovery procedure begins e.g. unlock cockpit door, automatic landing, distress tracker.

Title: Improved needle safety assembly
Inventor: BARRY PETER LIVERSIDGE
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2021-06-11
Abstract: The safety needle assembly comprises a needle/cannula 112 mounted in a tubular housing 120. The cannula 112 is located within the needle mount 160 which is located within the tubular housing 120. The shielding sleeve 130 provides the blocking means which retains the alignment of the cannula 110 along the longitudinal axis of the tubular member 120. The blocking means is arranged to counteract the pivoting force of the spring or an ability of the cannula to freely rotate in order to retain the cannula 112 in an operative position. The spring 170 and the needle mount 160 are arranged at a set position and the use of the safety needle assembly 110 with the medical injector 111 causes a shift from the set position. This shift enables the spring 170 to then rotate the needle 112 to the shielding position when the safety needle assembly 110 is detached from the medical injector 111.
