Abstract: A computer implemented method of searching a set of events wherein each event has associated spatial attributes in a multi-dimensional space 300 (e.g. 2D or 3D space), the method comprises: receiving a search profile definition including: a definition of a template spatial region having a shape and dimensions; an identification of a plurality of analytic functions (e.g. spatial clustering functions, spatiotemporal functions); a specification of one or more parameters for each identified function; and a first result set including output of each of the functions applied to events associated with a first spatial region of the space in accordance with the template and based on the parameters; applying the functions to a second spatial region of the space in accordance with the template and based on the parameters to generate a second result set for comparison with the first result set to identify similar regions as search results. In one embodiment the template is spatiotemporal such that the template defines not only a shape and dimensions of a spatial region but also temporal constraints such as a time period, range, time thresholds or limits or other constraints on temporal characteristics.

Title: Sample synchronisation
Inventor: MALCOLM LAW
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 2016-07-20
Abstract: A method of specifying a point 5 in a Pulse-Code Modulation, PCM, audio stream transmitted over a communication channel comprises transmitting a message 6 containing a hash 10 of a block of samples of the audio stream related to the point, such as a hash of a block of n≥8 samples of the PCM audio stream having a predetermined relationship to the point. The method may also include including a command in the message to take effect at the point e.g. volume control to take effect at a particular point. By specifying to effect a command at the point problems with sending data and control signals over respective links with potentially differing and variable latency is overcome. The hash may comprise a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). A corresponding value of a sample counter can also be included in the message allowing synchronisation of the counter.

Title: Scalpel with retractable blade
Inventor: TREVOR MILTON
IPC: A61B17/3211
Filed: 2017-03-10
Abstract: A scalpel has a handle and a blade carrier 2 movable within a longitudinally extending cavity between an operative position in which a blade on the blade carrier 2 is exposed for use and an inoperative retracted position. A manually operable slider 4 moves the blade carrier 2. The carrier has a catch face 21 directed rearwards in the operative position which partially aligns with a stop face 11 provided on the handle so force exerted on a blade in the direction of the length of the handle causes engagement of the catch face 21 with the stop face 11 to arrest movement of the blade carrier 2 into the cavity. Transverse biasing of the blade carrier 2 is overcome by pressure exerted on the slider 4 to retract the blade carrier 2 into the handle with the catch face 21 passing the stop face 11. The catch face 21 may be on a cantilever arm. The transverse biasing may be by means of a squat closed loop leaf spring 25.

Title: Water current turbine energy converters
Inventor: GEWNAEL ORVEN
IPC: F03B17/06
Filed: 2017-04-03
Abstract: A water current turbine energy converter comprises an energy conversion device supported by a support structure attached to a bed of a body of water. The energy conversion device includes electricity generating equipment 20 that converts rotation of a turbine 5 into output electrical power. A controller 30 is able to detect the loss of a grid voltage, and then shut down the energy converter, using energy from a UPS 32. Once the energy converter is shut down, the controller switches off or enters a low power mode. When a grid connection detector 50 detects that a grid connection has been restored, the UPS 32 switches on and supplies power to the controller 30, which starts up and initiates a restart of the energy converter.

Title: System, apparatus and method for adjusting a weir
Inventor: JOHN FEDDERS
IPC: E21B21/08
Filed: 2016-10-10
Abstract: A system, an apparatus and a method for adjusting a weir control the rate and/or speed at which drilling fluid feeds a separator. Multiple separators are typically used in parallel to process fluid returning from the well. A distribution manifold directs fluid to each separator. The weir is positioned within a feeder on an inlet end of the separator and connects to an attachment plate within the feeder. The distribution manifold or other flow control mechanism operates in combination with the weir. Adjustment apparatuses control the height of the weir to determine the rate the fluid flows onto the separator. The adjustment apparatuses provide mechanical and/or automated operation of the weir. Various profiles of the weir and adjustments of the height of the weir within the feeder increase and/or decrease the speed of the fluid as the fluid spills into the separator.

IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2018-06-21
Abstract: A frame of values is received that represents directional information such as an azimuth index 401, elevation index or energy ratio. These values are separated 403 into arrays, each representing base integer expansion values. The first array represents the most significant integer values and subsequent arrays represent lesser significant base integer values. In the figure, the maximum azimuth data value is “511”. The first array is arithmetic encoded 405 using a number of symbols based on an expected maximum first array value “5”, and the second array is arithmetic encoded using a number of symbols based on an associated first array value. If the first array value is the expected maximum value, then a reduced number of symbols may be used to encode 429 the second array, possibly based on the expected maximum second array value. Arithmetic encoding may be skipped (signalled 427 using an indicator array) for repeated values.
