Title: System and method of data communication that compensates for wire characteristics
Inventor: DONALD J MUNN
IPC: H04L27/156
Filed: 2016-04-28
Abstract: The invention transmits training bit sequences to a receiver which analyses them. If the received signals are saturated and have the same amplitude then a second bit sequence is transmitted with a lower amplitude. Based upon the training bit sequence, the receiver determines pre-emphasis settings which are used by the transmitter to equalise the channel response. The invention is preferably used with symbols comprising half sine waves with differing durations (0.9 s for one, 1.1 s for zero and 1.3 s for SYNC) and hence different effective frequencies. The pre-emphasis preferably achieves a flat frequency response for the different symbols. The training sequence preferably comprises a set of bits of interest each preceded by various combinations of three bits and determines a zero crossing interval for bit detection as an average across the set.

Title: Beam alignment
Inventor: Jacob Andelin
IPC: G08B29/24
Filed: 2016-06-16
Abstract: The method comprises adjusting the projected beam 10 so as to project on to at least a portion or all of a reflector 20 and then centering the projected beam so as to align the centre of the projected beam on, or tolerably near, the centre of the reflector. The adjusting and centring of the beam may involve a series of incremental altitudinal and lateral movements (12, 13, 14) of the beam whilst monitoring the signal received from the reflector after each incremental adjustment. Prior to adjusting, a search for the reflector may be conducted by projecting the beam to a location proximate to the reflector and, if no or insufficient signal is detected, tracing the beam along a circumjacent or circumferential pathway around that location until a sufficient signal is detected. If no signal is detected, then the size of the pathway may be increased incrementally. The pathway may be circumferential, quadrilateral, spiral, box-like, square or rectangular. Prior to adjusting, the target may be visually targeted using a laser. Preferably, the beam alignment is automated to increase the ease and speed of the procedure.

IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2016-10-26
Abstract: A system and method for enabling a user to provide advanced notice to a vehicle indicating that the user will be approaching the vehicle within a designated period of time and automatically releasing a vehicle latch upon the arrival of the user at the vehicle. A vehicle telematics unit 114 operates with a vehicle body control unit and receives a latch release signal from a user. It then sweeps for a key fob 102. When presence of the key fob is detected, the latch is released. In one embodiment, the users key fob is paired with a mobile device 108 and the users command is transmitted from the key fob to the mobile device. The mobile device, such as a smartphone or a cellular telephone, transmits the command to the vehicle telematics unit via a remote server 112. The vehicle telematics unit communicates with the vehicle body control module to detect the key fob when the user arrives at the vehicle and to automatically release the latch upon the arrival of the user. The invention may be useful when the user is carrying packages such as shopping and has no hands free to actuate a door or truck lid.

Title: Key fob with RSSI
Inventor: Ryan Edwin HANSON
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2017-06-08
Abstract: A key fob configured to: find the signal strength 511 of received polls from a base station; determine, based on the signal strengths that the received polls have: increased 513b, decreased, or levelled off 513a; and if the signal strength has increased issue a poll response or if the signal strength has levelled off not issue the poll response. When the signal strength decreases then the key fob may not issue the poll response. It may be determined that the signal strength of the received polls have levelled off by a determination that the signal strength of a predetermined number of received polls are within an upper 514 and lower 515 boundary. An increase, decrease, or levelling off of the signal strength corresponds to movement of the key fob towards, away, or a constant distance from a vehicle. The signal strength can be determined by RSSI or by time of flight. The invention conserves the battery life of the key fob.

Title: Object tracking using sensor fusion within a probabilistic framework
Inventor: DONGRAN LIU
IPC: B60W30/095
Filed: 2017-11-02
Abstract: A controller receives outputs from a plurality of sensors 106a, 106b of multiple sensing modalities, such as a camera 104a, 104b, LIDAR sensor, RADAR sensor or ultrasound sensor. A probability is determined according to the outputs, for example using a Bayesian probability update, and, if sufficiently high, collision avoidance, which may be an alert or autonomous avoidance, is performed with respect to an object 300b, 300c, 300d. In a typical example, sensor outputs corresponding to the object are assigned to a tracklet and subsequent outputs by any sensors corresponding to that object are also assigned to the tracklet. A trajectory of the object may be calculated from the sensor outputs assigned to the tracklet, such as by means of Kalman filtering.

Title: Low-Debris Low-Interference well perforator
Inventor: RICHARD ROBEY
IPC: E21B43/117
Filed: 2015-07-20
Abstract: A low-debris low-interference semi-solid well perforator having selectively variable free volume and method for providing such is disclosed according to one or more embodiments. The perforator may include a charge tube holding an independently floating axial stack of selectively variable divider segments, each having one or more concavities formed in upper and lower sides. The segments are arranged so that concavities of adjacent segments form sockets, into which shaped charges are located. The segments provide support to minimize deformation of shaped charge cases yet provide less than 360 degrees circumferential contact about the shaped charges to form selectively variable voids for collecting debris and spall resulting from detonation. The voids and floating segments attenuate detonation shock interference. A debris guard prevents debris from entering the wellbore. Relieving slots in the debris guard attenuates transmission of shock interference through the debris guard.

Title: Vacuum engineering
Inventor: M'DIMOIR QUAW
IPC: H02N11/00
Filed: 2018-02-02
Abstract: A virtual particle exclusion system comprising acceleration means for imparting vacuum 5s1,5s2,5s3 virtual matter-antimatter particle pairs 6,7s1,7s2 with sufficient kinetic energy to become real. This allows objects ranging in scale from dust grains to piston heads 4 to spacecraft (8, Fig. 18) to be scattering members which can plough or sweep through and evacuate a region of space occupied by the newly formed real particles. A confining means 2, 3 is also proposed such that said evacuated space remains markedly depopulated of particles in comparison to space unaffected by the aforementioned processes. This enhanced manifestation of the Casimir effect provides a substantial source of negative energy for the purpose of space-time warping around accelerated dust grains and spacecraft for superluminal communication and propulsion respectively, and can provide an electrical and heat energy supply for human consumption.

Title: Method and Apparatus For Providing Target Location Reminders for a Mobile Device
Inventor: MOULAALI SHAIK
IPC: H04W4/021
Filed: 2016-12-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing target location reminders for a mobile device. A geo-fence reminder controller obtains an indication of a first geo-fence corresponding to a target location and modifies the first geo-fence to establish a second geo-fence having an area larger than the first geo-fence. The geo-fence is modified in response to a determined frequency of locations (810) of the mobile device within the first geo-fence being below a threshold. A reminder notification for the target location is provided when the mobile device enters the second geo-fence. This enables the geo-fence area to be set in accordance with the popularity of visited locations. In a further aspect a geo-fence area is set based on a current location as a function of a distance from determined common mobile device locations (812).
