Patent GB-201101618-D0 (GB)
Title: Active sensory augmentation device
Filed: 2011-01-31
Abstract: A sensory array detects objects in an environment surrounding the user, such as a fireman or blind person, when the device is being worn, a tactile display to physically engage the user's body and to provide salient information about said environment. An algorithm controls one or both of the sensory array and tactile display so that the presentation of an object is adapted to circumstances other than the physical parameter of the object's proximity to the user. The output can therefore be tuned to provide salient feedback, based on the rate of change of position of the object with respect to the user, the physical attributes of the object, the time since first detection of the object by the electromagnetic or sonic sensory array; and/or the current situation or objectives of the user. This ensures that the user does not get too many distracting tactile responses for the user to understand their environment from vibrotactile stimulation of the skin.

Title: Method of improving the efficiency of a central heating system
Filed: 2011-12-01
Abstract: An additive is adapted to improve the efficiency of a central heating system. The additive comprises alkyl polyglycosides and may additionally comprise a corrosion inhibitor, a scale inhibitor, a sludge conditioner, a bactericide, alkyl polyglucosides and/or a non-ionic surfactant. The additive reduces the surface tension of water in the central heating system, thereby enhancing the nucleate boiling and heat transfer characteristics of the system. Also claimed is a method of dosing a central heating system with the additive, whereby the additive is dispensed directly into a bleed valve of a radiator of the system using a syringe. Dosing the central heating system with the additive produces a solution 140 having a surface tension smaller than that of water such that the solution forms microscopic bubbles 120 when heated in, for example, a heat exchange tube 100 of a boiler of the central heating system. This is beneficial over use of untreated water 14, which forms large bubbles 12 that act as a barrier to efficient heat transfer between the source of heat and the water.
