Patent GB-2572993-A (GB)
Title: Rail safety method and apparatus
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER HARDY
IPC: B61K9/02
Filed: 2018-04-19
Abstract: A rail safety method involves the steps of acquiring a physical parameter of a train (such as length or weight) based on train characteristic information reported by the train; measuring a true physical parameter of the train; comparing the true physical parameter to the acquired physical parameter and generating an alarm signal if they are different. An apparatus for implementing the method uses an external sensor 10,11 (such as a photo-electric sensor, an axle counter, track circuit sections, or a weighbridge) to measure the true physical parameter, and a comparison engine 14. The train characteristic information is determined according to data input by an operator of the train, or from a train on-board sensor. Measuring the true length of the train may involve measuring the train speed and time taken to pass a point. The train may be automatically stopped if the parameters are different or outside of an acceptable range. The alarm signal may cause an alarm to transmit to a display in the train or a control system; and update the train characteristic information.

Title: Systems and methods for detecting passive inter-modulation (PIM) interference in cellular networks
Inventor: ALAN ANDERSON
IPC: H04B17/345
Filed: 2018-08-03
Abstract: A system and method for detecting passive intermodulation (PIM) interference in cellular networks are disclosed. Digital baseband in-phase and (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) samples are captured over multiple adjacent time windows for both a transmitter of a cellular site transmitting an RF signal at a first carrier frequency and a receiver of the cellular site receiving an RF signal at a second carrier frequency. In a first time window, both sets of digital baseband I and Q samples and transformed into the frequency domain and magnitude components are derived for each transformed set. The magnitude components are cross-correlated and a determination is made as to whether the maximum peak in the correlation signal exceeds a predetermined threshold. The above steps are repeated for the other time windows and if the number of time windows in which the correlation peak exceeds the predetermined threshold exceeds a predetermined number then it is decided that PIM interference has been detected. The PIM detection may be performed remote from the cellular site and whilst it is operational.

Title: Determination of spatial audio parameter encoding and associated decoding
Inventor: ADRIANA VASILACHE
IPC: G10L19/032
Filed: 2019-06-25
Abstract: Directional metadata parameters for a spatial audio signal are generated 400 for a time-frequency tile. A mapping is generated between the values of the metadata parameters and an index value, and used to generate indices associated with the metadata parameters. The indices are encoded (413, 404) based on an estimate of the number of bits required to encode them. The estimation process may involve entropy encoding 401 the indices and determining 403 if more bits are required than a threshold value and, if so, estimating another number of bits using another mapping that reduces the possible number of index values (figures 5 and 6). The other mapping may be selected to encode the indices based on the lowest number of required bits. Either mapping may map 0 to a directional value of zero and map increasing index values alternately to positive and negative directional values or alternately to left/right or up/down.

IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 2017-10-20
Abstract: The beam delivery system has a particle accelerator for generating a radiation beam. The particle accelerator has a beam delivery nozzle for delivering the radiation beam to a target zone. A positioning apparatus 18 is provided for moving said particle accelerator including said beam output device. Providing the nozzle at the particle accelerator without an intermediate beam transport system is advantageous since it reduces beam degradation and collateral residual radiation that can be caused by bending magnets and other components of a beam transport system. Moreover, as there is no long beam line or gantry, the maintenance, energy requirements, size, scale and costs of the system are reduced in comparison with conventional systems.
