Title: A Closure Assembly
Inventor: BASTIEN CAGNAC
IPC: B62D25/24
Filed: 2017-05-12
Abstract: A closure assembly is provided for an access aperture (320, Figure 5) of a vehicle through which a manually-actuable cable 150 is accessible, for example for an emergency override for an electric bonnet lock. The closure assembly comprises a closure 120 for closing the aperture in a closing position to restrict access to cable 150 and a thread 140 engaging with a complementary threaded component 340 on the vehicle to retain closure 120 in the closing position. Closure 120 is manually rotatable through a plurality of rotations, typically at least 10 turns, from the closing position to disengage threaded components 140, 340 to allow access to cable 150. Typically, closure assembly 120 may be placed on an A-pillar 120 in the interior of a vehicle, and may be inaccessible except when a vehicle door is open.

IPC: A47J43/07
Filed: 2013-11-04
Abstract: A latching arrangement for food processing equipment 10 which comprises a food processing implement mounted for bi-directional rotation in a container 12 and a base unit 14 housing an electric motor 50 and drive outlet 52, powered by said motor, and means for coupling said container to said base unit by attachment means requiring rotation in one of said directions, such that the implement can be driven from said outlet. The arrangement includes latching means 16 for latching said container to said base unit against a tendency for decoupling therefrom when the implement runs in the direction counter to that of the rotational coupling movement of said attachment means. Latching of the container 12 to the base unit 14 results in a lid being simultaneously latched to said container 12. The latching means 16 may comprise a solenoid 18 arranged to move a locking lever 20 linearly along a runner system 22. The latching means may be associated with sensing means for sensing the direction of rotation of said implement and for generating electrical control signals indicative of said direction.

Title: Instance-level semantic segmentation system
Inventor: BRIAN PRICE
IPC: G06T7/11
Filed: 2017-07-20
Abstract: Objects in a digital visual medium (i.e. image) are semantically segmented by determining (504) a score (i.e. probability) for each pixel representing the likelihood that the pixel corresponds to objects associated with bounding boxes (502) within the image. An instance-level label that yields a label for each pixel corresponding to the objects is determined (506) based, in part, on a collective probability map including each pixel score, e.g. using a CRF model. The score for each pixel corresponding to each bounding box may be determined by a neural network (NN) trained prediction model. Training may comprise receiving a training visual medium (i.e. image) having a first bounding box corresponding to a training target object and generating bounding boxes corresponding to the training target object based on the first box. The first and plurality of boxes together form a training set of boxes. Distance maps are generated, each corresponding to a respective box of the training set. The training image is concatenated with each map to generate a plurality of training pairs, and the NN is trained, based on at least one training pair of the plurality, to segment pixels of the training image corresponding to the training target object.

Title: Dual contra-wound antenna for a communication device
Inventor: Poh Imm Goh
IPC: H01Q11/08
Filed: 2016-05-16
Abstract: An antenna is provided having a primary helical coil (102) and a secondary helical coil (104) contra-wound relative to the primary helical coil. Switchable coupling between the coils allows the antenna response to switch from lower to higher frequency responses within the same Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band. A bandwidth of the same physical length antenna can be increased up to twice the bandwidth or for a fixed bandwidth, the antenna length can be shortened. For the high frequency band, when the secondary helix is disconnected from the primary helix, the primary coil operates as a interferer notch out to improve interference rejection, to reject unwanted signals from nearby radios transmitting in frequencies separated by duplex spacing, such as Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) and cellular Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication bands.

Title: Improvements in and relating to positioning in a telecommunication network
Inventor: MYTHRI HUNUKUMBURE
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2019-04-02
Abstract: A method of configuring a Positioning Reference signal, PRS, in each of a plurality of cells. A first PRS (fig. 2(a)) is configured for a first cell and a second, different, PRS (fig.2(b)) is configured for a second cell. The cells have different Sub-Carrier Spacings, SCS, where µ is the ratio of the second cell SCS to the first cell SCS. The first cell has a lower SCS, and the first PRS is configured to occupy (1/µ)th of the slot duration of the first SCS cell, such that it is arranged to have the same duration as the second PRS. The method may allow for “fast” PRS based on densifying the default PRS pattern to fit within a time slot of the higher SCS cell, such that a UE can read both PRS within the shorter time slot. A UE in the higher SCS cell may request its base station, gNB, to request the first cell’s gNB to configure the first PRS. The first PRS may be configured for a time period before reverting to another configuration.

Title: Improved kalman filters in process control systems
Inventor: TERRENCE L BLEVINS
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2014-02-07
Abstract: Kalman filter 504, for a control technique of process control system 500, is configured to produce an estimate of a process variable value from slow or intermittent process feedback signals Zj to enable controller 501 to produce control signal Uj to control a process. The Kalman filter is further configured to compensate the process variable estimate for process noise with non-zero mean value that may be present in the process. The Kalman filter may apply this compensation to both continuously and intermittently received process variable values. The Kalman filter may provide a new process variable estimate to the controller during each of the controller execution cycles. When an updated value of the process feedback signal is available, a new value of a residual may be used to determine the compensated process variable estimate. When an updated value of the process feedback signal is not available, a stored value of the residual may be used to determine the compensated process variable estimate.
