Title: Water boiler controlling device
Inventor: TAIYING TANG
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 2016-04-06
Abstract: A water boiler controlling device, comprising a touch control image position for water temperature option selection, which is formed on a water boiler (100); a capacitance-type touch control unit comprising a touch control sensing circuit, which is arranged within the water boiler (100), which corresponds to the touch control image position for water temperature option selection, and which is used for sensing a human body touching action and sending a touch control signal; and a control unit connected to the capacitance-type touch control unit. Each time the touch control image position for water temperature option selection senses a touching action and sends a touch control signal, a control module performs a switch between five pre-set options according to a pre-set order; among the five options, one is a blank option, and the remaining four options are pre-set water temperature options; each water temperature option corresponds to a temperature range, and the temperature ranges of two neighboring water temperature options have overlapping values. The device uses a capacitance-type touch control mode to select heating options, and remembers the option if disconnected from power. The water boiler (100) can be externally connected to a tap for controlling water discharge function. A return valve is provided to prevent the device from causing scalding injuries.

Patent GB-2566675-A (GB)
Title: Turbocharger
Inventor: TUSHAR RAJKUMAR BATHAM
IPC: F04D29/10
Filed: 2017-09-04
Abstract: A turbocharger comprises a compressor and a volume 29 behind the compressor impeller 7, which is in selective fluid communication with a location 37 downstream of the compressor via a connecting channel 47. A moveable element 53 is operable to block the channel 47 when the pressure at the downstream location 37 is sufficiently large.

Title: A method to measure nanoscale mechanical properties using atomic force microscopy without initially characterizing cantilever tip geometry
Inventor: SEAN A CANTRELL
IPC: G01Q80/00
Filed: 2016-12-08
Abstract: The atomic force microscope has evolved from purely a qualitative apparatus that measures the topography of a sample into a quantitative tool that also measures mechanical properties of a sample at the nanoscale. Prior technologies that attempt to measure the bulk parameters must characterize the geometry of the atomic force microscope cantilever tip in a separate experiment before being able to measure the mechanical properties of the sample. This is the single biggest obstruction to the accuracy and expediency of quantitative atomic force microscopy methodologies. Present techniques are also unable to probe the full set of viscoelastic properties of a material as they do not include any method to measure the damping of samples. We propose a method herein that simultaneously circumvents the need for a separate experiment to characterize the tip geometry and measures the full set of viscoelastic properties of a material.

IPC: G06F17/21
Filed: 2018-07-25
Abstract: A method of aesthetically pairing fonts comprising: generating feature vectors for a training set of fonts 304; learning a symmetric and asymmetric compatibility space (e.g. projection matrices) from the feature vectors 308; generating a scoring function from the compatibility spaces that indicates strength of font compatibility 309; receiving an input font 314; determining, using scoring function, one or more output fonts that match the input font 316; and presenting the results 318. The scoring function, symmetric compatibility space and asymmetric compatibility space may be provided to a client device 310, 206. The input font may correspond to a first document section, e.g. a header; and the complementary fonts correspond to a second document section, e.g. sub-header or document body. Feature vectors may be generated using a convolutional neural network or low-level numerical font metrics. A pairing function indicator may indicate that two fonts are paired in the training data and a non-pairing function indicator may indicate that two fonts are not paired i.e. contrast 306. The pairing and non-pairing indicators may adjust the compatibility spaces 308. The scoring function may comprise an adaptive constraint threshold and pairing scores between a first font serving as the input and a second font differs from the pairing score when the fonts are reversed.

Title: Lighting arrangement for fluid analysis system
Inventor: ZHIYONG ZHANG
IPC: G01N21/25
Filed: 2018-11-14
Abstract: A fluid analysis system, particularly for use in hazardous environments, determines the presence of compounds by passing light through a sample cell (104, figure 1a), into a spectrometer. The lighting arrangement comprises a light emitting diode (LED) 216, driven by a constant current power source 212A-212N. This provides light with a stable output intensity, reducing fluctuations, which may provide a more accurate system for analysing dangerous compounds in an explosives environment.

The driving circuit 200 may comprise multiple power supply selection switches 202A-202N, operation of which connects resistor 208A-208N and configures the output voltage of low dropout linear regulator 210, which is then fed to a respective constant current source 212A-212N. Also disclosed is a thermal management module for control of lighting in a fluid analysis system.

Title: System and method for message targeting using geofencing
Inventor: PAUL RANDAL HARRISON
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2017-07-05
Abstract: A message targeting system enables content providers to define geophysical zones for which entering mobile electronic devices may receive messages. The targeting system catalogs messaging campaigns for client defined zones and stores them in a database. An exchange identifies mobile devices for targeting and auctions available display space thereon, providing the targeting system with geolocation and other device-specific data. The targeting system contrasts device geolocation data to client created zones to identify qualifying campaigns, selects one and issues its bid. If the targeting system wins the bid, the exchange transmits its contact information to the mobile device to enable it to contact the targeting system. If the device does so, the targeting system transmits the message to the device directly, even if the device has left the zone. The targeting system logs device data and tracks subsequent encounters with the device for refining future selection criteria.
