Title: Vehicle speed control system and method
Inventor: JAMES KELLY
IPC: B60W30/14
Filed: 2013-08-07
Abstract: A vehicle speed control system operable to cause a vehicle to operate in accordance with a target speed value, the system being further operable automatically to control cross-axle locking means of an axle of the vehicle to prevent relative rotation of wheels of the axle. Thus, the speed control system may be operable automatically to command the cross-axle locking means to lock without a driver being required to intervene to command assumption of this condition. Control of the cross-axle locking means is in response to a difference in coefficient of friction between respective wheels of an axle, i.e. a mu delta condition, where the wheel on the lower friction surface rotating faster than the other wheel by more than a prescribed amount. The prescribed amount may be fixed, determined by parameters, an algorithm or a look up table. The steering angle may also be considered.

Title: Cable clamp
Inventor: PAUL CHAPMAN
IPC: H02G15/013
Filed: 2013-01-15
Abstract: A cable clamp comprises: a body 50 defining an opening 58 for receiving a cable; a first gripper 66 arranged for linear sliding motion; and, at least one second gripper 68, 70 arranged for rotational sliding motion. The motion of each gripper is relative to the clamp body and constricts an aperture 64 surrounding the cable in the opening. The clamp body also includes a part-circular guide slot for receiving a flange extending from the second grippers. The grippers, which preferably have a curved cable-engaging face, may be mounted within the clamp body and mechanically interconnected so that linear movement of the first gripper preferably causes rotation of the second grippers. A pair of second grippers may rotate in opposite directions and be in offset planes to permit overlap. The second grippers may have inner and outer part-cylindrical faces for sliding on a track in a part-cylindrical recess, the faces having offset centers to produce a tapered form. The movement of the first gripper may be caused by tightening a threaded member. The clamp may have a main body 52 and a clamp closure portion 54 and may form part of a cable television component.

Title: Method for deriving a temporal predictive motion vector, and apparatus using the method
Inventor: BAE KEUN LEE
IPC: H04N19/176
Filed: 2012-09-06
Abstract: Method of decoding a video signal using merge mode and a candidate list. A spatial merge candidate is derived S1000. A collocated reference index of a collocated picture of the current block is signaled, and the collocated picture is determined based on the collocated reference index S1010. A temporal merge candidate is obtained from the collocated picture by scaling a motion vector of a collocated block in the collocated picture S1020. A merge candidate list including the spatial and temporal candidates is generated S1030. Inter prediction is performed based on the list by obtaining a motion vector and a reference picture index of the current block based on the list and obtaining a prediction block of the current block using the motion vector and a reference picture indicated by the reference picture index of the current block. The current block is then reconstructed using the prediction samples and residual samples.

Title: Brake and accelerator robot
Inventor: COLIN MARTIN
IPC: G01M17/00
Filed: 2018-01-17
Abstract: A robot has brake and accelerator actuating levers 9,10 and a rotary actuator 12 (fig 1) between them. A drive ring 16 is fast with an actuator drive member 14 and between them they captivate a journal bearing 17 for the brake actuating lever 9 on which a return spring 19 acts. Advance of the lever is via a cam member 31 adjacent it. Wherever the output drive member 14 from the rotary actuator is turned, the cam member is rotated correspondingly. For brake application, the drive member 14 is driven, clockwise in Figure 2. For brake release, and accelerator application, the drive member is driven back and the cam member is disengaged from the lever 9 with unidirectional freedom. The drive ring 16 is carried on a central 'clutch' member 35. The central member 35 is journalled in a fixed clutch member 36 (fig 4), which carries a clutch operating winding 38 for clutching together the central member 35 and an accelerator drive member 39 journalled on the central member. A central drive shaft 41 is fast with the accelerator drive member 39 and passes through the length of the rotary actuator. When the winding is energised, rotation of the output drive member 14 is transferred to this central drive shaft 41 for the accelerator actuating lever 10 as well.

Title: Method for recipient address selection
Inventor: EDWARD BISHOP
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2018-04-11
Abstract: A method of recipient address selection, for example, for electronic mail (email). The method involves entering characters into a recipient address field to generate a recipient address list comprising recipient address options. A selection is received from a user for a recipient address in the recipient address list. After the user has selected a recipient address from the recipient address list, one or more rules are checked to determine whether they have been satisfied. The selected recipient address is entered into the recipient address field depending on if the one or more rules have been satisfied. The recipient address maybe entered, deleted or maintained in the recipient address field based on the rules. The rules may include ensuring the user has typed in more than a minimum number of characters into the recipient address field, or the address list comprises less than a threshold number of recipient address options, consulting a list of unauthorised recipients or that the user selected the recipient address with a permitted input device (e.g. a computing mouse). All these rules maybe adjustable based on the time of day, location of user, and maybe manually configurable by the user.

Title: Interventionless pressure operated sliding sleeve
Inventor: JOHN K WAKEFIELD
IPC: E21B34/06
Filed: 2017-12-08
Abstract: A zone to be treated comprises a plurality of sliding sleeve valves. The sleeve defined opposed chambers charged with pressurized fluid on opposed sides of the sleeve. Valves responsive to a remote signal with no borehole intervention change the pressure balance on the sleeve to get it to open from a closed position and then close and then to reopen for production. One way this is done is by sequential pressure bleeding off from the opposed chambers. A zone having multiple such valves can be treated without need for dropping balls and subsequent milling out, which allows production to commence sooner with reduced restrictions to flow from the ball seats and without the debris associated from a milling operation.

Title: Water remediation system
Inventor: ANDREW COX
IPC: E04H4/12
Filed: 2020-01-24
Abstract: A method of remediating water comprises: reducing the concentration of nutrients in the water and dosing the water with metal ions, e.g. zinc, titanium and/or iron ions. It has been found that through a combination of reducing nutrients present in the water and treating with metal ions, the requirement to treat with high chemical dosages is removed. The dosing agent may be in liquid form and can comprise a metal compound, e.g. a metal oxide, dissolved in an acid carrier. The step of dosing the water with metal ions can be performed by electrolysis. Alternatively, the metal ions can be pumped from a container into the water. The metal ions may be dosed to a concentration of less than 5mg/L. The step of reducing the concentration of nutrients in the water can comprise filtering, wherein the filter can be a biofilter, mechanical sieve filter or an ion exchanger. The water may be dosed with a flocculant to reduce the nutrient concentration. The method can also comprise applying UV light to the water. The pH of the water may be controlled in the range 7.5 to 8.5. A water remediation system is also claimed, e.g. a swimming pool remediation system.
