Patent GB-2555601-A (GB)
Title: Data flow control
Inventor: David Rumball
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 2016-11-02
Abstract: A serial interface between two devices, such as integrated circuits, has two lines. The first device transmits on the first line and receives on the second line. The second device receives on the first line and transmits on the second line. The lines operate at two logic states. The first logic state may be a low state and the second may be a high state. When the first device has data to transmit, it changes the state of its transmit line from the first state to the second state. When it detects a change on its receive line from the first state to the second state, it transmits data on its transmit line. When it has finished transmitting, it changes its transmit line to the first state. It then waits for its receive line to change to the first state. The devices may have several ports connected to a single universal asynchronous transmitter/receiver via a multiplexor.

Title: Vehicle security system
Inventor: MICHAEL K RAO
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2017-04-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system to determine whether an unexpected object is located in a vehicle or an intrusion has been made into a part of the vehicle, when the vehicle is unoccupied 205. If a positive detection takes place 220, the system determines a route to a location and navigates the vehicle to said location based on said route 250. The detection of an object/intrusion may take place using optical, infrared, thermal or ultrasound imaging. It may also take place using audio data from microphones or seat occupancy data. Such a system may be used in the scenario that a user leaves an item in an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle or if a user deliberately leaves a dangerous object in said vehicle. The system may therefore also classify an object or intrusion 225 based on the risk it poses and determine the route to said location accordingly.

Inventor: MARNO NAGTEGAAL
IPC: H01R43/048
Filed: 2017-05-04
Abstract: An electrode 1 for a jawed electrosurgical instrument has a tissue contacting surface 2 and a connection portion 8 comprising a crimp portion 12 and a support portion 9. The crimp portion 12 comprises a plate 10 which can be folded over the end of a lead 11 to form an electrical connection between the lead 11 and the electrode 1. The support portion 9 forms an electrical connection between the crimp portion 12 and the electrode 1, and is shaped and/or oriented such that the crimp portion 12 lies underneath the tissue contacting surface 2 at a proximal end of the electrode 1. Such an arrangement allows for the lead 11 to emerge from the crimp portion 12 in a proximal direction.

Title: Monitoring inhibitor levels in a closed water system
Inventor: STEPHEN MUNN
IPC: G01N33/18
Filed: 2018-03-27
Abstract: In an inhibitor monitoring system, a correlation between conductivity values and inhibitor concentration is stored in a memory (1202). A conductivity sensor determines a conductivity value for water in a closed water system (1204). Water temperature is determined from a temperature sensor (1206). The conductivity is compared, perhaps using a look-up table or equation in the memory, to the correlation (1208). Inhibitor concentration is determined based on the comparison (1212), accounting for the effect of the water temperature (1210). The correlation may be provided from determinations at known concentrations; older correlations may be overwritten in memory with subsequent determinations. At temperatures where a correlation has not been determined, extrapolation/interpolation from correlations at different temperatures may be used. A correlation corresponding to the currently used inhibitor may be chosen from a plurality of correlations for a plurality of inhibitors stored in memory. Constant temperature may be held by a heating/cooling unit.
