Title: Image projection apparatus
Inventor: HIROYUKI KODAMA
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 2018-08-07
Abstract: An image projection apparatus includes a first light modulation element 11 configured to modulate a first light emitted from a light source 1 and to generate a second light, and a second light modulation element 12 configured to modulate the second light. The first light modulation element is configured to receive the first light onto a modulable pixel area that can modulate the first light, the modulable pixel area including an effective pixel area that can modulate the first light and a peripheral pixel area arranged at the periphery of the effective pixel area. The image projection apparatus further comprises a controller configured to control pixels of the peripheral pixel area such that light from the peripheral pixel area does not reach the second light modulation element. The two SLM modulators are arranged in series. There may be multiple second modulators, each arranged to modulate one colour of light split (after exiting the first SLM) into RGB colours. By adaptive control of the peripheral area, light is controlled to reach only the effective area of the second spatial light modulator (SLM) and this reduces image quality degradation. Preferably the modulators or SLMs are liquid crystal (LCD) light reflectance modulators.

Title: Control system for a vehicle
Inventor: PAUL JOHN KING
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2018-09-20
Abstract: A control system for a vehicle (100 Fig. 1) has at least one controller that is configured to obtain image data relating to terrain to be traversed by the vehicle, for example by use of a stereoscopic camera system (185C Fig. 3). The controller evaluates a plurality of sub-regions of the image data, and determines path probability data 516a indicative of a probability that the respective sub-region relates to a path region of the terrain (700 Fig 8a) and considers non-path probability data 516b indicative of a probability that the respective sub-region relates to a non-path region of the terrain (702, 704 Fig 8a). In selecting the future path 518, the control system determines a penalty or benefit for the vehicle to traverse a respective portion of the terrain to which the respective sub-region relates in dependence on the determined path and the non-path probability data, and determines the future vehicle path in dependence on the determined penalty/benefit analysis. The assessment may include inferring primary and secondary paths for both the path probability data and the non-path probability data, and weighting and combining the data for improved accuracy (Figs 9a-i). The image data may be captured from one or more tyre locations of the vehicle.

Title: Communication network and method of wireless communication
Inventor: DAVID GRACE
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2018-11-09
Abstract: A constellation 200 of high-altitude platforms (HAPs) 100, such as aircraft, together provide simultaneous multi-channel wireless communication links 210 to multiple user equipment devices (UEs). Each multi-channel wireless communication link 210 is provided via a co-operative beamforming technique with a respective user equipment 220,230 as its target. Beams provided between multiple HAPs and a single UE are multi-channel in the sense that they have multiple sources. The constellation of HAPs communicate wirelessly with one or more ground stations 255. Each ground station can relay, using a respective wireless connection 262, user data and control information between every HAP and a cell processing centre 265. For providing co-operative beamforming across aerial antennas mounted on the HAPs accurate channel estimation for every wireless communication channel between each HAP and each user equipment is performed using a processing element 295 in the processing centre 265. Channel estimation involves determining a “propagation characteristic”. The channel estimation is used to construct a channel matrix for the wireless communication channels between every HAP and every user equipment (see Fig. 7). This enables beamforming methods to be deployed.

Title: Telemetry monitoring apparatus
Inventor: CONOR CARR
IPC: G08B25/01
Filed: 2012-08-30
Abstract: A breathing apparatus 18 for use in a hazardous environment is associated with a portable device 16 which can log on to a central monitoring station 12. The portable device sequentially transmits logon messages until it receives a logon acknowledgement message from a central station. The logon messages include identifiers for the users or devices, and each central station has priority data listing users or devices which should be logged on to that station. If a central station receives a logon message from a device in its priority data, it commences the logon procedure. If the device is not in the priority data, the central station waits for a threshold number of logon messages before commencing logon. Each portable device may initiate the logon procedure by transmitting a non-addressed logon message. Alternatively, the central station may transmit a non-addressed logon request message to prompt the devices. The portable devices may transmit telemetry data regarding the status of their breathing apparatuses. They may be personal alert safety systems (PASS) and may be used by firefighters.

Title: System and method for onset detection in a digital signal
Inventor: JOSEPH MICHAEL WILLIAM LYSKE
IPC: G10H1/00
Filed: 2015-06-22
Abstract: Digital processing of a digital signal, such as an audio signal, distinguishes evolving transient parts of frequency information from a relatively stationary part of the frequency information to produce a time domain representation of the transient parts. An amplitude envelope of the transient parts is generated and, with respect to this envelope, a power threshold is set. Localized peaks in the amplitude envelope that exceed the power threshold are detected. With respect to each localized peak, analysis works backwards in time from the localized peak to find a sampling point at which a characteristic of the digital signal before that point in time is maximally different from that same characteristic of the digital signal after that point in time. The characteristic may include a standard deviation of the first derivative of the transient signal before and after each sampling point. The position of the onset for the localized peak is then selected based on the sampling point that is maximally different.
