Title: Free standing Electric fire with illuminated mist flame effect and perimeter heating
Inventor: BETZ MARTIN
IPC: F24C7/00
Filed: 2007-09-12
Abstract: A free standing electric fire simulates 3D flames 310 using illuminated mist or vapour, and has a heating element, for example an air blower or radiant heater, configured so as to produce heating around the perimeter of the fire. The fire may have at least 2 transparent side walls through which the flame effect is visible and may have a chimney 300, the upper section of which may be supplied with vents 305 extending around the circumference through which heat is supplied to the room. The fire may include a mist generator, for example an ultrasonic transducer (810, fig 8C) or compressor (2203, fig 22), a mist reservoir (805, fig 8A), at least one side of which may be heated, and at least one outlet for the mist, the mist being agitated, for example by a fan (825, fig 8C). The application also includes details of the use of fuel elements (400, fig 7) to conceal light sources (410, fig 4), filters for the light sources to simulate the colour of flames (fig 18) and apparatus including heating elements (Figure 19), apertures (1010, fig 10) and baffles (1001, fig 10), to direct the flow of the mist.

Title: Split rotor variable output gerotor pump
Inventor: HODGE STEPHEN MARK
IPC: F04C2/10
Filed: 2007-10-18
Abstract: A gerotor pump having an annulus 34 and a split rotor set comprising first 18 and second 20 rotors and an indexing mechanism 27, 28 that may include a piston, rack and pinion (50, 52, 30 Fig. 7) enabling eccentric movement of the second rotor so as to vary the performance of the pump. The pump is configured to operate with a reduced output range e.g. less than a zero to 100% flow range that would otherwise be achievable for a rotor set of the combined axial length RASL of equal first and second rotors. To achieve this, the indexing rotor has a length IRAL shorter than that FRAL of the non-indexing rotor so that when the rotors are in antiphase (i.e. 180{ out of phase) there is a net output. Alternatively there may be a limitation applied to the indexing mechanism to limit second rotor displacement or indexing range between 30 and 150 degrees.

Title: Image capture and motion picture generation using both motion camera and scene scanning imaging systems
Inventor: REID LUKE
IPC: G06T15/20
Filed: 2008-01-24
Abstract: A moving image generation method comprises capturing first image data using a camera 101 having a movement capture system 104, and capturing second, scenic image data using a scene-scanning imaging system from which images are derivable, representing distributed scene viewpoints through which a virtual viewer may navigate. Then, based on movement data: selecting a first viewpoint position; deriving scenic viewpoint image data from the second image data, based on the viewpoint position; combining first image data with scenic viewpoint image data to generate a playback frame; and, based on movement data, repeating these steps for a next viewpoint position to generate a second playback frame. An analogous further method is also independently claimed, additionally using context capture data and referring to sampled light field data. A similar, independently-claimed imaging method generates viewpoint images of viewer movement through a computer generated (CG) virtual scene, against a fixed background, in which image capture points are distributed with substantially constant or smoothly varying density across a two-dimensional area. The virtual camera system may be applied to panoramic imaging.

Title: Signature of moulded article
Inventor: COWBURN RUSSELL PAUL
IPC: G06V20/80
Filed: 2008-07-11
Abstract: Method and system for authenticating an article (e.g. of thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics material) comprises: generating a signature from an article by directing coherent radiation (e.g. laser) 15 sequentially onto each of a plurality of regions of an article surface; collecting a set comprising groups of data points from signals obtained when the radiation scatters from respective different regions of the article; determining a signature of the article from the set; comparing the signature to a stored signature for a mould used to produce articles (e.g. by injection moulding); and determining an authentication result by comparison of the signatures. The mould signature may be generated using the above technique from a sample of fewer than all articles produced from the mould. The article signature may additionally include unique signature elements. The signatures produced from a plurality of articles may be compared to determine a set of common signature elements from which a collective signature is created.

Title: A subsea electronic module with an internal LAN which uses capacitive coupling
Inventor: DAVIS JULIAN R
IPC: G08C17/06
Filed: 2008-12-18
Abstract: A subsea electronic module for an underwater fluid extraction well has an internal local area network (LAN). Components of the module (i.e. electronics cards 6, 10) are coupled through interfaces 9 which use capacitive coupling. Capacitive coupling can only be used over short ranges but the particular physical layout of the electronics cards (shown in Figs 2a and 2b and claimed in claim 12) enables the distance between coupled cards to be minimised. In this physical layout single board computer (SBC) cards 10 are arranged in parallel planes, and interface with an Ethernet switch blade (ESB) card 6 which is orthogonal to the SBC cards. Capacitive coupling is used at the interfaces. The cards are configured to provide redundancy.

Title: Transcoding Video Data
Inventor: SEDEFFOW PETER VASSILEV
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2009-04-18
Abstract: Video data is transcoded on the fly to produce a progressive download that may be viewed while the data is being received (streaming) and/or may be downloaded and played later. A locator (301) locates an input video data file on the Internet. An analyser (303) analyses a portion of the input video data file to determine coded characteristics of encoded input video. A generator (304) generates a file header for an output video data file that includes an indication of the size of the output video data file. An input interface (302) receives the input video data located by locator (301) and a transcoder (305) transcodes the input video data to produce encoded output video data. The output interface supplies the encoded output video data with the file header as a stream to a receiving device. In a first embodiment, the expected size of data in the header is over estimated and blank video chunks are added. In an alternative embodiment, the expected data size is under estimated and compression parameters are modified during the transcoding process.

Title: Forming a grid model of a geological structure having discontinuities
Inventor: SLOTTE PER ARNE
IPC: G01V99/00
Filed: 2009-09-21
Abstract: A method of forming a grid model of a geological structure comprises forming initial grids of various geological blocks A-E of the structure and cutting the initial grids along bounding surfaces to form block grids 11-15. The surfaces along which the initial grids are cut may be surfaces of discontinuity e.g. faults 20, geological horizon or erosion surface. The surface of one block may be complementary with the surfaces of other blocks and so the individual block grids may be assembled together to form an assembled grid model for the geological structure. The cells of each block may have different dimensions, orientations and resolutions from the cells of the other blocks. The grid model accurately represents the structural geology of the structure and can be used to estimate a physical characteristic of the geological structure, for example reservoir fluid flow.
