Title: Helmet mount for stowage and adjustment of HMD
Inventor: JORDAN HENRY WALKER JENKINS
IPC: G02B23/12
Filed: 2017-07-07
Abstract: A helmet mounting for optical combiner 50 for a helmet mounted display has a mounting arm 60 moveable about a pivot (40, fig.1) on the helmet, to be movable between an operational position in a line of sight and a retracted position displaced out of the line of sight. A translation mechanism 100 provides translation of the optical combiner along the line of sight. A driving lever 30 causes the displacement of the mounting arm between the line of sight and the retracted position with a first motion, and with a second motion of the lever causes the translation of the optical combiner. The driving lever 30 is arranged to rotate around the pivot (40, fig.1). The first motion may be rotation of the lever about the pivot and the second motion may be further rotation of the lever around the pivot. By having the same lever coupled to both the mounting arm 60 and the translation mechanism 100 the movements of the optical combiner can be simplified.

Title: Device and method for deghosting variable depth streamer data
Inventor: GORDON POOLE
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2013-04-19
Abstract: A method of deghosting seismic data related to a subsurface of a body of water includes receiving input seismic data 410 recorded by a plurality of seismic receivers that located at different depths. Migration data 420a and mirror migration data 420b is generated from the input seismic data. A first ghost lag model is generated 430a corresponding to the migration data and a second ghost lag model is generated 430b corresponding to the mirror migration data. The ghost lag models estimate the ghost lag to the seismic source as a function of an offset h of each receiver of the plurality of receivers. The migration data is processed using the first and second ghost lag models to generate an image of the subsurface. Also disclosed is a method of generating a ghost free model based on simultaneously using the migration data and the mirror migration data, using the model to generate a deghosted dataset.

Title: Reduction of energy consumption of a device by autonomous monitoring of cargo transport
Inventor: AMIT AFLALO
IPC: G01S19/38
Filed: 2019-03-27
Abstract: A device 100 and a method for reducing energy consumption by generating a Forecasted Geospatial Route and checking whether a cargo or vehicle is on-schedule and whether its environmental conditions are proper. The device receives standard shipping documents, from which Key Coordinates are extracted, from which a Forecasted Geospatial Route is generated. Subsequently, the device obtains real-time location data, time data and sensor data related to the coupled cargo or vehicle. The real-time location is compared with the expected location derived from the Forecasted Geospatial route to produce a global displacement. The actual time is compared to a corresponding time derived from the Forecasted Geospatial route to produce a time lag. The environmental conditions are compared with those expected in the Forecasted Geospatial route. The information match allows the device to check whether a cargo or vehicle is on-schedule or not and whether its environmental conditions are proper or improper. Subsequently, the device may turn all or several of its functions ON or OFF to reduce energy consumption.

Title: Data encoding detection
Inventor: CIRRUS LOGIC INTERNATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR LIMITED
IPC: G10L19/22
Filed: 2017-12-08
Abstract: A data encoding may be determined by examining the data itself. By examining the data, such as by identifying characteristics of the data, the data encoding may be identified and the substantive information extracted from the data by decoding the data according to the identified data encoding. The data encoding may be identified without extra control or header information separate from the encoded data itself. The identification of data encoding may be determined by a plurality of detectors examining different characteristics of the data and determining an encoding of the data based on each of those individual characteristics. The output of the detectors may be collected and used to decide the encoding of the data. One example application involves determining if audio data is DSD- or PCM-encoded audio data by examining only the data itself.
