Patent GB-2533013-A (GB)
Title: A pressure washer and a method of providing a super-heated jet of water
Inventor: JAMIE AELFRED FAIRCHILD
IPC: B08B3/02
Filed: 2015-07-04
Abstract: Some pressure washers include units for introduction of detergents and other chemicals into the water stream; however, it is desirable to obtain sterilized cleaning water without them, i.e. food preparation processes. With a sufficiently high temperature super-heated water stream, all process equipment, including pipework, that comes into contact with sterile process materials, can be cleaned, de-greased and sterilized both with the spray jet using water alone whilst not contributing endotoxins, microbial contamination or particles. Merely raising the temperature of water in a conventional pressure washer could cause components to fail, if they were not designed to operate at such high temperatures. In the present invention, the pump 25 supplies a relatively low volume of water at a relatively high pressure to the boiler 13, allowing the boiler 13 to heat that volume of water to a relatively high temperature. In contrast, if a higher volume of water were desired over a given time period, the pump would have to supply it at a comparatively lower pressure (which is undesirable) and/or the boiler would only be able to heat it to a comparatively lower temperature over that same time period. Increased working temperatures on a hose 3 will reduce its maximum working pressure; however, by using a PTFE hose, the maximum working pressure at 170 degrees may be up to 17 MPa.

Title: Racking protection device
Inventor: LUKE SMITH
IPC: G08B21/18
Filed: 2016-05-23
Abstract: A racking protection device comprises a housing and a vibration monitor, arranged to record vibrations transmitted through a racking component. The housing includes an alert for alerting a user when the racking requires inspection for impact damage. The vibration monitor records the frequency and time of each impact and includes a memory that counts and records the number of minor impacts, alerting the user after a predetermined number of minor impacts or a single severe impact. The vibration monitor determines a minor impact when the peak frequency is between a minimum and maximum pre-set level for a predetermined time period. When the frequency exceeds the maximum pre-set level for a predetermined time period the vibration monitor determines that a severe impact has occurred. The alert may comprise an optical transmitter which may use different signals for each type of alert. The device may feature magnetic means of attachment to the racking. The device may feature reset means possibly comprising a photo detector to which an operator can transmit a coded optical signal in order to reset the device. This invention aims to improve the safety of storage racking by recording possible damages caused by impacts.

Title: Image processing device and system
Inventor: ANTHONY WILLIAM GODAR
IPC: H04N21/218
Filed: 2017-06-09
Abstract: Multiple versions of a video for each of a plurality of viewpoints are encoded (600) such that each comprises a high resolution region corresponding to that viewpoint. A plurality of the videos each comprise the same high resolution region, and each video comprising the same detailed region is encoded with a temporal offset of the group of pictures (GOPs) relative to those other videos with the same high resolution region (see fig. 2). The GOP offsets define video switching times for each video. Following a requested viewpoint in the video content being determined (610), a video switching time is identified (620) from amongst the plurality of video switching times. A video with a high resolution region corresponding to a requested viewpoint and the identified video switching time is selected (630), the selected video being transmitted (640), e.g. to a HMD. GOPs for each video of the same viewpoint are therefore not aligned, and may be different. Multiple GOP starting times are available in target videos, it therefore being possible to select a video that has a GOP boundary occurring sooner than the whole GOP remainder. The offset to each GOP is smaller than the duration of the GOP (fig. 3).

Title: Improvements in and relating to BWP setup and signalling in a telecommunication system
Inventor: Yinan Qi
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2017-11-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of defining a Resource Block (RB) or Resource Element (RE) offset for mapping a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS) to a symbol, wherein the offset is determined based on an identifier of a particular User Equipment, UE. The offset may be based on the Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) or part thereof or alternatively the Random Access RNTI (RA-RNTI). By basing the offset on an individual identifier, inter-UE interference on PTRS symbols is avoided. Different methods of transmitting the PTRS configuration to the UE are described including using an offset configuration where only the difference between a default and determined configuration is sent, using an additional bit to indicate the use of a default condition and the use of codewords.

Title: Position tracking for proppant conveying strings
Inventor: JOSEPH DEWITT PARLIN
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 2015-06-30
Abstract: A well system can include a completion string adjacent to a target formation and a service tool extending within the completion string. When the service tool is in an aligned position with respect to the completion string, the service tool can prevent fluid communication between the target formation and a return conduit to facilitate fluid slurry injection. In such an alignment, a reader of the service tool is positioned within a threshold distance of a tag of the completion string to receive an indicator from the tag. From the tag, the reader receives confirmation that the service tool and the completion string are properly aligned. A pulser of the service tool transmits a signal to a surface location to convey the confirmation. A user may then pump the fluid slurry through an internal fluid flow passage of the service tool to the target formation.

Title: Database memory monitoring and defragmentation of database indexes
Inventor: VICKY HARP
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2017-12-05
Abstract: Monitoring and selectively defragmenting database indexes by an information handling system which includes a main memory and a secondary memory, where the database indexes are stored in the secondary memory. Each index includes a number of pages, where each page includes data logically aligned in an ordered specified by the index and pages are stored in contiguous memory space. Modification of the data in the database caused fragmentation in a number of indexes, which may be changes in the number of pages or logically aligned data in a number of pages is stored in non-contiguous memory. Free space in the pages of the indexes is identified and fragmentation statistics are determined for the identified indexes, where these statistics are used to calculate the cost savings associated with the rebuilding of one or more indexes. One of more of the indexes are selectively defragmented based upon these cost saving calculations.
