Title: Target object determination for vehicle braking system
Inventor: WIDDOWSON PAUL
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 2011-02-18
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide monitoring apparatus for monitoring a target object external to a vehicle, the apparatus being operable to determine whether the target object is a valid target object responsive to (a) a determination as to whether a rate of change of the range of the target object from the vehicle is less than the speed at which the vehicle is moving; and (b) the maximum range Rmax from the vehicle at which the target object has been detected. In order for a object to be considered a valid target the target object must be moving in a direction away from the vehicle but the range of the target object from the vehicle is decreasing. The apparatus will not allow a stationary object to be identified as a valid target object. In some arrangements only a valid target object is allowed to trigger pre-arming or actuation of an intelligent emergency braking system of the vehicle.

Title: Use of nanoparticles for labelling oil field injection waters
Inventor: COMMARIEU ANNIE
IPC: C09K8/03
Filed: 2010-12-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of tracer fluids, more generally aqueous liquids, intended to be injected under pressure into an oil reservoir, for example from an injection well to a production well. The objective of the invention is to propose a novel process for studying a solid medium, e.g. an oil reservoir, by diffusion of a liquid (e.g. injection waters) containing tracers, through said solid medium, which is simple to implement and economical and which overcomes the drawbacks of known tracers for oil reservoir injection waters. This process essentially consists in injecting, into this solid medium, an injection liquid comprising a tracer based on nanoparticles having mean dimensions between 20 and 200 nm, that can be detected by means of one or more signals S at dilutions of less than or equal to 10-7, and that are capable of forming a stable colloidal suspension in a saline medium; at least one portion of which consists of a core and of a coating provided with an adjustable hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) and comprising at least one organic and/or organosilicon constituent; in recovering the liquid that has diffused; and in analysing this liquid that has diffused in order to measure the amount of tracer by detection of the signal or signals S.

Title: Co-ordinating wireless transmissions in a distributed antenna system
Inventor: KULKARNI PARAG GOPAL
IPC: H04W16/20
Filed: 2012-09-18
Abstract: A controller for coordinating wireless transmissions between a plurality of radio units and one or more user devices, each radio unit having a respective geographic area of coverage, for example, in a distributed antenna system (DAS). The controller signals each each radio unit to broadcast a pilot signal over its respective geographic area of coverage, the pilot signal being designed to elicit a response signal from each user device located within the radio unit's area of coverage. The controller then receives from the radio units information specifying the user devices from which the respective radio unit has received a response signal. The controller is configured to use the information received from the radio units to determine which user devices are located within range of each radio unit. From this information, a matrix is created to assign resources to the radio units to ensure coverage and minimise interference between the radio units.

Title: Method of operating a lean NOx trap in an internal combustion engine
Inventor: ARGOLINI ROBERTO
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2013-05-01
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of operating a Lean NO Trap (LNT) 285 in an exhaust pipe 275 of an internal combustion engine 110. The method comprises the steps of calculating a NOx quantity stored in the lean NOx trap 285, calculating a NOx mass flow downstream of the lean NOx trap 285, calculating a NOx storage ratio between the NOx quantity stored and a NOx limit capacity of the lean NOx trap 285 and calculating a tail pipe NOx emission ratio between the NOx mass flow downstream of the lean NOx trap 285 and a tail pipe NOx emission limit. The calculated ratios are used to determine a parameter representative of the lean NOx trap 285 status. A threshold of the parameter representative of the lean NOx trap 285 status ratio is calculated as a function of an age of the lean NOx trap 285 and of an engine 110 operating point. A DeN0x request to purge the NOx trap is generated if the parameter is greater than the threshold. An associated apparatus, computer program and engine controller or also disclosed.

Title: Wind Turbine Nacelle Based Doppler Velocimetry Method and Apparatus
Inventor: HOLTOM THEODORE COSMO
IPC: G01S17/88
Filed: 2013-06-30
Abstract: The method of Doppler velocimetry has been applied on wind turbine nacelles or rotor hubs to date using either single beams or divergent beams which only measure radial wind speed at a given point in space, possibly reconstructing a three-dimensional wind velocity or lateral wind speed by use of additional measurements from points separated in space with the presumption that the wind field is homogeneous, or that the measurement provides an average value which is sufficient. It has been appreciated that improved resolution of the three-dimensional wind velocity at one or more measurement points upwind of the turbine can offer advantage to wind turbine control systems. The invention presented here achieves improved three-dimensional velocimetry by use of various possible convergent beam geometries and employing beam sources mounted on the wind turbine nacelle, rotor hub or rotor blades. Figure 6 shows a scanning method making use of the rotation of the rotor and beams from sources 5 converge at a fixed point 6. This allows successive data collection at numerous points on a circular locus.
