Title: Apparatus for sanitisation of brewery containers
Inventor: GARY PHILLIPS
IPC: B08B9/08
Filed: 2019-11-11
Abstract: Apparatus for the sanitisation of brewery containers, such as beer casks or kegs, using ultra-high-pressure water jets comprising a high-pressure lance 14 for spraying a liquid (20, figure 1) against internal surfaces (18, figure 1) of the keg. The spray lance is elongate and can enter an opening (12, 22 figures 1 and 2) of a keg. The lance head 16 has washing liquid ejection orifices 26,28, 30 and a compressed air ejection orifice 32 that is located upstream of the lance head. The air dries the internal keg surfaces and, due to its position (figure 4), the air ejection orifice, prevents ingress of the washing liquid into the interior of the spray lance. A robotic arm may move the lance along its long axis. The lance may be rotatable at 500-1000 rpm and may have three water orifices arranged to eject water at different angles. The compressed air conduit 34 may be annular and co-axial with the liquid conduit 24. The lance head may be disengageable from the body. A method of cleaning kegs is given where the washing liquid may be water at 2-300,000 kPa.

Title: Vehicle control system and method for generating speed limit signal
Inventor: ADIL KARAKAYIS
IPC: G08G1/0962
Filed: 2020-09-14
Abstract: A control system generates a speed limit signal for controlling a vehicle 200 by receiving, from an imaging device of the vehicle, image data indicative of an environment of the vehicle. It uses the image data to determine a speed limit indicated by a traffic sign 300 and its location relative to a road feature. The traffic sign location and a vehicle location are used to determine a relevance of the speed limit to the vehicle. A sign speed limit signal is selectively generated in dependence on the relevance, and output to a vehicle control system. The speed limit may be determined to be irrelevant if the sign’s distance from a road edge (Fig.4B) or from an entrance stub of a side road exceeds a threshold; or if the sign and a further traffic sign (800, Fig.8) span a side road. An irrelevant traffic sign associated with a side road SR or a proximal road (Fig.4B) may thus be filtered.

Title: Hidden surface removal processing in a graphics processing system
Inventor: Robert Brigg
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2019-06-19
Abstract: Hidden surface removal on primitive fragments in a graphics processing system in which the rendering space is subdivided into tiles comprises receiving a primitive fragment of a set of fragments associated with a tile, the fragment corresponding to a pixel sample of the tile. Information indicating whether the primitive fragment requires a depth buffer read for full resolution hidden surface removal is received. If the fragment is the first fragment in the set, a current best depth value buffer and a depth value update map for the tile are initialised. Whether the fragment has the best (closest to viewer) depth value for the relevant pixel sample according to a depth compare mode is determined, and in response to that determination, the depth value for that pixel sample in the best depth value buffer is updated with the depth of the fragment, and the depth value update map is updated to indicate that the depth value for that pixel sample has been updated. The current best depth buffer is initialized differently based on whether the first primitive fragment requires a depth buffer read. Also disclosed is sorting fragments into priority and non-priority queues, each being processed differently.

Title: Improved EMLSR mode in non-AP MLDs not triggered by the AP MLD
Inventor: JULIEN SEVIN
IPC: H04W76/15
Filed: 2022-04-06
Abstract: When an Enhanced Multi-Link Single Radio, EMLSR-active non-Access-Point non-AP Multi-Link Device MLD receives, over a first one of its EMLSR links, a first initial control frame from the EMLSR capable AP MLD that does not explicitly trigger it, the non-AP MLD remains in the EMLSR listening operation mode, hence requiring an additional initial control frame to be sent to initiate a frame exchange with the AP MLD. Embodiments of the invention save the cost of this additional frame by requiring the non-AP MLD to switch, responsive 10 to the receiving of the first frame, its EMLSR co-affiliated STA corresponding to the first link from the listening operation state to a disabled frame exchange state, and the other EMLSR co-affiliated STA corresponding to another link of its EMLSR links from the listening operation state to an enabled frame exchange state. The other EMLSR co-affiliated STA is ready to directly receive frames from the AP MLD.

IPC: D06F58/12
Filed: 2022-06-09
Abstract: A method for laundering includes the steps of washing a fabric item 11 and feeding the fabric item onto an air permeable conveyer 5. The fabric item on the air permeable conveyor is then passed over or under ultrasonic transducers 3 vibrating at a frequency of 50-2000 kHz so that moisture is atomised and expelled from the fabric item. A device for expelling moisture from a fabric item includes ultrasonic transducers 3 arranged above or below an air permeable conveyor 5, arranged to vibrate at a frequency of 50-2000 kHz. The vibration of the transducers at a frequency of 50-2000 kHz causes atomisation of moisture from a fabric item which is positioned on the air permeable conveyor, thereby expelling moisture from the fabric item. There may be at least 100 transducers arranged in an array. Metal mesh piezoelectric atomising transducers may be used. The fabric item may be passed through a sheet of unheated air provided by an air knife (4, Figure 3) positioned above the conveyor. Expelled moisture may be collected with a suction device (9, Figure 2B) below the conveyor. The fabric item may be passed to a heated roller 1 to iron it.

Title: Radio frequency communication system with coexistence management based on digital observation data
Inventor: ANAND RAGHAVAN
IPC: H04B17/354
Filed: 2019-08-19
Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) communication systems with coexistence management are provided. A mobile device includes a first antenna and front end system that receives an RF receive signal; a second antenna and front end system that provides an RF transmit signal to the second antenna. The second front end system observes the transmit signal to generate an RF observation signal, which is processed by the second transceiver to generate digital observation data that is provided to the first transceiver. The first transceiver compensates the baseband receive signal for an amount of RF signal leakage indicated by the digital observation data. The observation signal may be gathered via a directional coupler positioned between an output of the power amplifier and an input of a duplexer. The front ends may be a cellular or WWAN technology, and a WLAN technology, such as Wi-fi®. The compensation may comprise determining aggressor spectral regrowth.
