Title: Method and system for generating audio-visual content from video game footage
Inventor: Simon Andrew St John Brislin
IPC: H04N5/04
Filed: 2019-01-31
Abstract: A user selected audio track and at least one video generated during the playing of at least one video game are obtained 802, 804; statistical analysis is performed on the audio track and video to determine excitement levels associated with portions of the audio track/video 806, 808; portions of the audio track and video are matched based on a correspondence in excitement level; and a combined audio visual content that includes portions of the video matched to portions of the audio track is generated 810. Dramatic moments within the video game footage such as: a player defeating an enemy, winning a match, crashing a car, creating an explosion, may be automatically synced with part of the music, for example: a chorus, crescendo, solo, or key change. The audio track may be separated based on beat detection. Statistical analysis of the audio track may comprise generating a spectrogram and determining mean power and standard deviation of the power of the audio track at different frequency intervals. Statistical analysis of the video may comprise determining a score for each frame based on motion or changes/deviation in the value of the A and/or B channels of the LAB colour space.

Title: Acoustic surface imaging using time of flight
Inventor: GRAHAM MANDERS
IPC: G01N29/07
Filed: 2019-02-06
Abstract: The inner surface 31 of a pipe of well is inspected using an imaging device having an ultrasound transducer 12 in a housing 16 having an axial direction. The transducer sonifies an area of the pipe or well with a pulse which intercepts axial locations of the area at different times. There may be a plurality of transducer elements separated radially around the housing and operating as a phased array to scan multiple azimuths. A processor receives reflections and using time of flight interprets the signals as axial locations of features on the surface of the well or pipe. The transducer may emit a defocused beam. The sonified area may be longer than 5 mm or 10 mm in the axial direction. The transducer may sonify the area at an angle between 20º and 70º.

Title: Electromagnetic waves induced wipers for vehicles' front and back windscreens
Inventor: ALI MOKHBER
IPC: G01S17/04
Filed: 2019-07-09
Abstract: A device which emits microwave radiations in the form of electromagnetic waves which can be used to clear a windscreen of rain or snow water droplets from a windscreen surface to keep the surface clear. This may be used instead of conventional windscreen wipers. The emitter sends microwaves across the screen and the reflector may be placed at opposite lateral side of a windscreen, which on microwave reflection will form standing waves immediate to the glass surface of the windscreens. The microwave electromagnetic radiation in this region heats and vaporises the rain or snow falling on the outside glass surface of the vehicle windscreen. It effectively stops build-up of a water layer on the glass surface with the advantage of not producing noises and obstructing the drivers' field of view as per existing blade type wipers.

Abstract: An Intelligent coating apparatus and method for fruits and vegetables, including a material conveying module 1, 2, 3 a real-time sensing module 9, a targeted spray-coating module 15, a dynamic drying module 22, and an electric control module 26. Real-time sensing is carried out by module 9 comprising a colour camera 12 or photoelectric sensor 11 mounted on the material conveying module. An image is captured of target fruits and vegetables to be coated and the image is processed to obtain the regional size, the position information, and the time to reach the targeted spray-coating module of the target fruits and vegetables to be coated. The targeted spray-coating module implements a targeted spray-coating process by means of electrostatic spray guns (17 figure 3) and electromagnets (18 figure 3). The dynamic drying module comprises a blower (23 figure 2) and infrared heating pipes 24 which dry the moisture in the coating rapidly. The uniform and firm coating formed on the surfaces of the fruits and vegetables reduces the quality degradation during the production and sales of the fruits and vegetables and greatly extends their shelf life.
