Title: Virtual training system
Inventor: Donald High
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2016-11-22
Abstract: Method and system in which sequences of three dimensional scans and images of a recorded region are captured 302, 304 and the images are mapped to the corresponding scans to obtain 306 three dimensional states of the recorded region. The 3D states are sequentially rendered by detecting a position and location of a user in a playback region and using it to determine 406 a viewpoint of the user, mapping 404 the 3 dimensional state to the playback region and rendering 408 the state from the viewpoint in combination with an image of the playback region. The rendered 3D states may be displayed using a virtual reality headset. The method may be used in training in which actions of a trainer in the recorded region may be played back in real time. The training may include tracking a trainee and generating an alert when a portion of the trainee is more than threshold distance from a corresponding portion of the trainer in the 3D state.

Title: Twin, double piston water / fluid, pump
Inventor: DAVID PENMAN
IPC: F04B47/02
Filed: 2017-07-21
Abstract: A closed system for generating energy comprising a reservoir, a penstock, and a turbine uses a beam pump to pump the water back to the reservoir. The pump comprises a central vertical support, at least one piston connected to a horizontal rotating or walking beam by way of rocker bolts and linking rods. The reservoir and penstock provide means to power the turbine, the system being regulated by control means. Post-turbine, the fluid, under pressure caused by the shape of the pipes, enters the bottom of one or more piston cylinder, causing the piston to rise and the walking beam to rotate or oscillate about its fulcrum. Hydraulic rams, high tension compression springs act as anti-stall devices or drive inputs, providing energy to the walking beam.

Title: A pump and method of pumping a fluid
Inventor: MALCOLM WILLIAM GRAY
IPC: F04C18/344
Filed: 2017-08-17
Abstract: A pump using a magnetic liquid driven in rotation within its housing by a rotating magnetic field 30 as a driving means for the pumped working fluid. The rotating magnetic field generating means may be mounted around the pump housing and are either windings 31 connected to an AC or a switched DC power supply or rotating permanent magnets. Under the influence of the magnetic field the ferrofluidic, ionic or magnetorheological liquid preferably forms multiple rotating blades 20 corresponding to the field’s rotating magnetic poles, which drive the working fluid inside the pumping chambers 22, similar to a rotary vane pump, but with no moving mechanical parts. A core 32 may be mounted within the housing, preferably offset with respect thereto. The core may be stationary and made of iron, polymer or ceramic, with further windings mounted thereon. Alternatively, the core may be formed of the same magnetic liquid and rotating with the blades. A method of pumping a fluid via this operating principle is also claimed. The liquid blades are preferably formed by setting the magnetic liquid in rotation via a magnetic field rotating at high speed, then slowing it down to cause the liquid to coalesce into blades.
