Title: Methods and systems to remove particle-motion-sensor noise from vertical-velocity data
Inventor: ORJI OKWUDILI CHUKS
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2015-08-28
Abstract: A method to remove particle-sensor noise from a measured vertical-velocity wavefield comprises computing approximate vertical-velocity data based on pressure data obtained at receiver coordinates of a seismic data acquisition system. The pressure data is composed of a pressure signal component and pressure-sensor noise. The vertical-velocity data is composed of a vertical-velocity signal component and particle-motion-sensor noise. A filter is computer that gives a minimum difference between the particle motion data and the filter convolved with the approximate particle motion data. Noise corrected vertical-velocity data is then computed using the filter convolved with the approximate vertical velocity noise derived from the pressure data.

Inventor: ALAN GEORGE DRY
IPC: G08G1/00
Filed: 2016-12-12
Abstract: A computing device or vehicle imaging system (Fig.2) is programmed to capture an image of an area ahead of a host vehicle in a convoy with at least one other vehicle, wirelessly pairing with a mobile device or imaging system (105,Fig.1) associated with the other vehicle (100,Fig.1), and presenting an image captured by the mobile device or imaging system associated with the other vehicle. The pairing may occur between all of the vehicles in the convoy (305,Fig.3) and may include new vehicles which join the convoy. The system may produce an overhead image of the convoy on the display 400 showing the user the vehicles in the convoy 405; the vehicles may also exchange location data which may be used in generating the birds-eye view. The user interface 400 may receive user input which may be used to select the vehicle image from the convoy vehicle 405 of the users choice. This invention aims to alleviate the problem of obstructed views suffered by vehicles following closely in convoy, allowing them to see ahead and determine lane closures or debris otherwise obscured by the leading vehicles.

Title: Magnetometer for medical use
Inventor: BENJAMIN THOMAS HORNSBY VARCOE
IPC: G01R33/022
Filed: 2017-04-25
Abstract: Methods are provided for detecting weak magnetic fields of a human body, e.g. of a heart in magnetocardiography or of a brain, using an induction coil magnetometer. Typically, the sensitivities required for medical magnetometers require an induction coil too large to be practical. Smaller coils produce weaker signals that are smaller than the digitisation interval in an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) of the system and thus do not appear in the digital signal. By configuring the noise to be large enough (25% of digitisation interval or more), the combined signal plus noise is greater than the digitisation interval and is detected in the ADC output. The digital signal can then be averaged to remove the noise and obtain desired signal information. The noise is configured by using a noise generator, small coil diameters (less than 7cm), or high coil resistances (5-3000 Ohms). The system may comprise arrays of planar coils and the coils may be connected in parallel or in series.
