Title: Pressure sensing device and method
Inventor: ILAN JOHAN EDUARDO OLIVAREZ CORREA
IPC: G06F3/044
Filed: 2020-02-24
Abstract: A pressure sensing device comprises first and second electrodes, At least one comprising a unitary piece of non-metallic conductive material. The device comprises a measurement module connected to the electrode at a plurality of sensing points S1, S2, S3, S4. The measurement module is configured to measure a change in capacitance between the first and second electrodes, in response to a change in the distance when a force is applied to the first or second electrode, at each sensing point individually or at all sensing points simultaneously. The measurement module is configured to determine the location, area and amount of applied pressure on the first or second electrode from the individual measurements, or the amount of the applied pressure from the simultaneous measurement. The electrode may have relatively high resistance, such that the capacitance reading strength exponentially decays with distance X1, Xn from the applied pressure point A.

Title: Analysis device
Inventor: TAKASHI ANAZAWA
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2018-08-29
Abstract: In order to avoid crosstalk between formed images using a simple method, the present invention is characterized by having an optical system (P) through which light emitted from a plurality of light-emitting points passes, and a measuring unit for measuring light which has been formed into images by the optical system (P), wherein among the light-emitting points, the middle point between any two light-emitting points is offset from a center (CA) of the optical system (P). More specifically, this analysis device is characterized in that the center (CA) of the optical system (P) exists outside of light-emitting point groups which are aggregates of a plurality of light-emitting points E. With this configuration, a main image (M) and a ghost image (G) are separated from each other, and thus it is possible to avoid crosstalk caused by ghosting and to correctly analyze light emissions from the plurality of light-emitting points (E).

Title: Fault monitoring in a utility supply network
Inventor: ANDREW BLAKE
IPC: H04W24/04
Filed: 2020-05-15
Abstract: Fault monitoring in a utility supply network, comprising: receiving user queries, each user query about a performance of the network at a respective location; defining a region based on the locations specified in the received user queries; determining an estimate of a user population in the region; and according the region, based on the estimate, determining a priority for fault investigation and/or remediation. The utility supply network may be a communications network, such as a 4G mobile communications network. The user queries may relate to user dissatisfaction with network performance, for example, collected over a rolling time period. The arrangement allows prioritisation of fault handling or remediation effort to target regions with more (affected) users or more important users or popular sites in the network. Performance monitoring may comprise subjective data and objective data. Subjective data may comprise user-triggered status checks, feedback reports, notification subscriptions and call centre calls. Objective data is data collected from devices in the network e.g. in batches periodically as measurement data or live data collected e.g. as part of triggering subjective data reporting. Techniques may be employed to estimate the population within a region, including combining a region 310 with a population density database.
