Title: System and method for optimizing solar power conversion
Inventor: SHENOY PRADEEP
IPC: G05F1/67
Filed: 2012-10-26
Abstract: A solar power system is provided for maximizing solar power conversion. The solar power system includes n power units connected in series and n-1 DC-DC converting units, and each of the n-1 DC-DC converting units is coupled to at least one of n solar power units. Each of the n-1 DC-DC converting units is configured to control the correspondingly connected solar power units to operate at a target current generation. The solar power system further includes a controlling unit coupled to the n-1 DC-DC converting units. The controlling unit monitors and compares the n currents generated by the n solar power units. Based on the current comparison, the controlling unit determines a series current and controls the n solar power units so that each of the generated photovoltaic currents is substantially equal to the determined series current.

Title: Pad encoding and decoding
Inventor: FREDERIC BAUCHOT
IPC: H04L9/34
Filed: 2014-12-19
Abstract: An input string of binary characters is encoded by : defining a two-dimensional data structure (e.g. a square) having a plurality (e.g. 64) of cells ; defining one or more paths through the structure ; writing a binary character to an empty cell with a predefined initial position; determining a next empty cell in the path by checking cells along the path, where occupied cells may be jumped over to reach the next empty cell ; writing characters into each cell until the structure is filled, and serially reading out the contents of the structure to obtain an encoded version of the input string as a string of alphanumeric characters. Cells may be skipped along the path according to rules defining a number of cells to be skipped depending on the character written in the cell. The method may jump to a second path if a full cell is encountered along the first path.

Title: Direct tie-in of pipelines by added curvature
Inventor: GEIR ENDAL
IPC: F16L1/24
Filed: 2015-02-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus for direct tie-in of pipelines is presented. The apparatus comprises a tensioning member 2, which is attached to the pipeline 1 at at least two places, one of which one can be at a location of direct tie-in. The attachment can be made using clamps during the pipe laying on the lay vessel. The apparatus further comprises a buoyancy element 3 attached to the tensioning member 2. This can be attached on the lay vessel, during preparation for tow out, or underwater, and can be made via a connecting member. When submerged, the pipeline 1 is deflected as a result of a buoyancy force tensioning the tensioning member 2, and on releasing the buoyancy element 2, direct tie-in of the pipeline is performed. To restrict the amount of deflection, a displacement control member 5b can be used. The buoyancy element 3 can be located on the sea bed prior to attaching to the tensioning member 2, it being anchored by a weight, such as a clump weight. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) can be used to make the attachment between the buoyancy element 3 and the tensioning member 2 when underwater.

Title: Detecting camera conditions
Inventor: LIBAL VIT
IPC: H04N17/00
Filed: 2015-05-19
Abstract: Determining a property of a reference image captured by a camera at a first time 202 and comparing this to the same property determined for a second image captured by the camera at a second time 204, 206, using this comparison to determining that a lens condition, a protective cover condition, an image sensor condition, focus, or a field of view of the camera has changed between the first and second times 208, and initiating or signalling camera maintenance in response to this determination of change 210. The property includes at least one of a cross covariance, cross correlation, frequency spectrum, edge presence, edge orientation or edge shape. Preferably, the two images are captured in similar environmental conditions, including the lighting and objects present in the field of view. The frequency spectrum may be determined by performing a Fourier transform or a discrete wavelet transform and may be used to determine the lens condition (such as whether the lens requires cleaning). The condition of the protective cover may be determined by capturing a series of reference images and applying cross covariance and edge detection to a respective pixel in each such image. In the embodiment, the camera is a surveillance camera and the need for camera maintenance is signalled to a user when the need is detected rather than at arbitrary intervals.

Abstract: A container 10 including a housing 14 having an internal volume and defining an inner wall of the container. A passage 16 exists between the inner wall and an outer wall of the container opposite the inner wall, such that the inner wall divides the passage from the internal volume and extends beyond an end of the outer wall. An end portion of the inner wall beyond the outer wall defines a presentation platform (49, fig 3).

Title: Dual laser frequency sweep interferometry system and method
Inventor: MARTINEZ JUAN JOSE
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 2015-06-24
Abstract: An optical arrangement, method and measurement system are disclosed. The arrangement includes a first input 120 to receive a first beam 101 from a frequency swept laser 180, a second input 130 to receive a second beam 102 from a fixed frequency pump laser source 190. A non-linear optical artefact 140 receives and intermodulates the first and second beams to generate a third beam 103, the third being an inverted copy of the first beam mirrored relative to the fixed frequency of the pump laser source. Preferably, the first and second beams 101,102 are removed at a filter 160 before the third beam is output at 150. A selective combining element outputs the first and third beams. The non-linear artefact or one or both of the lasers is selected or configured such that the optical frequency separation of the first and second beams satisfies the coherence length condition of the non-linear artefact 140. Examples of possible non-linear artefacts may be semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), non-linear fibres and non-linear waveguides.

Title: Combining arrangement
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN DUFFIELD
IPC: H05H7/02
Filed: 2016-03-29
Abstract: An RF power combining arrangement comprises a power combiner 3 having at least four ports; a first match-dependent oscillator 1 supplying power at a first frequency to a first input port of the combiner 3; a second oscillator 2, supplying power at a second frequency to a second input port of the combiner; and a mismatch 4 connected to a third port of the combiner. The oscillators may be magnetrons. The combiner combines power from the oscillators and, when their frequencies are different, applies a fraction of the combined power to the mismatch. The mismatch reflects at least some of the fraction to the first and second oscillators to lock their outputs in frequency and phase. The fourth port of the combiner receives the combined output power. The power combiner attenuation is variable to adjust the proportion of the combined power split between the third port and fourth output port from 0% to 100% of the total power, for any power values at the input ports. The arrangement may include several power combiners connected in series, or parallel arrangements (figs. 3-5). The invention is suitable for combining the outputs of magnetrons for material processing applications or for linear accelerators (lineacs).
