Title: Distribution of electricity to electric vehicles
Inventor: SIMON JONATHAN HUGHES
IPC: B60L53/67
Filed: 2020-11-23
Abstract: A system for the distribution of electricity to electric vehicles (EVs) 121-132 receiving charge from domestic supplies includes a grid-connected source of electrical energy 117, a plurality of dwellings 101-116, a power manager 118, a plurality of battery chargers and a plurality of control units. The grid-connected source supplies electrical energy to the dwellings within predetermined constraints of an individual maximum power level to each dwelling and a total maximum power level. The battery chargers charge respective EVs from a respective domestic supply. Each control unit is positioned between a domestic supply and a respective battery charger and selectively connects the respective battery charger to the respective domestic supply in response to power management commands from the power manager. The power management commands may be: time-based and identify intervals when an EV may be charged and intervals when the EV cannot be charged; or derived from an assessment of actual demand, determined by measuring the total energy being used to charge EVs from the grid-connected source. Each control unit has a switching device that selectively connects the domestic supply to an electric outlet for the battery charger in response to a determination whether the electrical outlet can be activated to supply electricity to the battery charger.

Title: Personalised audio output
Inventor: BRENDAN MORRISSEY
IPC: H04R5/04
Filed: 2020-12-18
Abstract: The method involves determining an audio processing algorithm characterising a user’s hearing based on results of a hearing test taken by the user 102, 104, 106. The hearing test may be administered by the user’s playback device or separately administered. The algorithm may be transmitted to either a media service provider or to the user’s playback device 108, 110, 118, 120. Processed audio data is generated by applying the determined audio processing algorithm to audio data from a pre-recorded media file 114, 116, 124. The method further involves outputting, by an audio transducer, audio corresponding to the processed audio data. The processed audio data is independent of a frequency response characteristic of an audio transducer. Systems for outputting audio are also described.

Title: Integrated desolidification for solid-containing residues
Inventor: Cassandra Schoessow
IPC: C10G55/02
Filed: 2020-06-23
Abstract: A desolidification process enables the isolation and extraction of solid additives from an unreacted petroleum residue stream. In a hydrocracking process that mixes a solid additive with a petroleum residue feedstock to convert the petroleum residue to higher-value distillates, the desolidification process enables the recovery of the unreacted petroleum residue for conversion to a saleable product. The desolidification process involves the mixture of one or more solvents with a slurry in which solids are integrated in the petroleum residue to generate a mixture having a decreased density and viscosity as compared to the slurry, which facilitates removal of the solids.
