IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2018-08-10
Abstract: A vehicle operable in autonomous and non-autonomous modes including receiving a signal indicative of an availability of autonomous navigation to a navigation goal 17410. The navigation goal includes a first and subsequent second navigation definition for autonomous navigation.

Title: Electronic scoop counter
Inventor: JENNIFER BRANDY
IPC: G01F19/00
Filed: 2019-05-24
Abstract: An electronic counting spoon comprising a scoop portion for scooping a substance such as protein powder or baby milk from one receptacle to another, which utilises a weighing function to determine that the scoop has been filled or emptied, such as by tapping the scoop, to increment a digital display by one additional increment for each scoop that has been dispensed and provide a running total. The scoop may also comprise a handle and thumb dip for convenience, and may be battery operated with an on, off and/or reset switch or button.

Title: System for non-invasive blood pressure measurement
Inventor: Tom Harrison
IPC: A61B5/0225
Filed: 2019-11-11
Abstract: A sphygomomanometer comprising an oscillating gas pump which inflates a cuff wherein the gas is substantially pulsation-free such that blood pressure measurements can be taken while the cuff is inflating. The cuff is in fluid communication with the resonant gas pump and a valve. The resonant gas pump comprises a substantially cylindrical cavity with walls, and inlet and outlet apertures e.g. valves. A drive circuit applies a voltage across the piezoelectric actuator at a frequency of at least 500 Hz to cause vibration of the gas pump walls. Preferably, the drive frequency is more than 20 kHz. Cuff inflation acts to compress e.g. an arm, so blood pressure pulses in the blood vessel can be measured while the gas pump is in operation. The rate of inflation is controlled in a feedback loop with the pressure sensor, where the amplitude of the voltage waveform across the piezoelectric actuator is adjustable.

Title: Apparatus for, and Method of, Controlling Sand Production from an Oil Well
Inventor: AKSEL SKÅLAND
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2020-05-28
Abstract: A method of controlling oil well sand production comprises providing a continuous production flow of oil and sand at respective production rates 205, 204 from a wellhead, conveyed by a pipeline to a processing, transport or oil storage facility. At a sand management station between the wellhead and the facility, flow passes through the sand management system comprising a separator to separate sand from oil. A well choke is opened to increase 206, 209 the production rates, whereby the sand production rate is increased higher than a pipeline allowable sand rate (ASR) 203. While the sand production rate is higher than the ASR, sand is continuously separated from oil using a solids separator to provide a reduced downstream pipeline sand flow and sand flow is measured in at least one of the sand management system and the downstream pipeline to provide a reduced sand flow rate. The the reduced sand flow rate is compared with the ASR to provide a sand rate comparison value comprising a sand control parameter. Then the oil production rate is controlled 213, 216, using the sand control parameter to maintain the reduced sand flow rate below ASR in the downstream pipeline.

Title: Commensal token system
Inventor: WEI ZHANG
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2020-09-21
Abstract: The invention comprises validating a token transaction, wherein the validating entity has access to said tokens’ original mint and/or setup transaction information. The original token mint transaction involved generating an initial amount of the tokens and may comprise cryptographic data (e.g. a cryptographic key, or a knowledge proof). The method comprises: obtaining a target token transaction comprising one or more token inputs and token outputs; and validating the target token transaction, by verifying that each token input comprises the minting data and/or references a respective token output of either the token mint transaction or a previously validated token transaction that can be traced back to the token mint transaction. Alternatively, a token transaction may be validated by verifying that each token references a token output stored in a token snapshot comprising a set of unspent transaction outputs UTXOs. On condition that the target token transaction is valid, it may be transmitted to the blockchain network. Tokens can be validated efficiently without the need for a purpose-built token engine and without negatively impacting blockchain storage. The invention may comprise a directed acyclic graph (DAG) and a blockchain. The token value may be pegged to the native blockchain token value.
