Title: Apparatus and method for executing on-line purchases
Inventor: JIMMIE R CLARK
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2016-07-21
Abstract: An apparatus 110 for executing on-line purchases comprises three different servers, a ticket server 112, a doorman server 120, and a checkout server 124. The ticket server issues a purchase ticket to a customer. The purchase ticket includes a predetermined time after which the customer can present the ticket to purchase the purchase item. On or after the predetermined time, the customer presents the purchase ticket to the doorman server. The doorman server validates the ticket and checks that the predetermined time has passed. Once the doorman server approves the purchase ticket, the doorman server passes the purchase ticket to the checkout server with a purchase approval indicator. The checkout server then executes the on-line purchase of the purchase item. The purchase tasks are spread among the servers, and timed, so that the on-line purchase can be handled without server overload and customers losing their place in line.

Title: Predicting vehicle movements based on driver body language
Inventor: Ashley Elizabeth Micks
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2016-11-02
Abstract: A system for predicting future movements of another vehicle includes, in the own vehicle, a camera system, a boundary component, a body language component, and a prediction component. The camera system captures an image of another vehicle behind the own vehicle. The boundary component identifies a sub-portion of the image corresponding to an area where a driver of the other vehicle is located. The body language component detects the driver's body language such as head orientation, eye gaze direction, changes in eye gaze direction, or gestures such as a raised hand and fingers or waved hand. The prediction component predicts future motion of the other vehicle by correlating the driver's body language with a library of corresponding likely maneuvers. The other vehicle may be located in the image, and the sub-portion can be identified on the basis of its windows.

Title: A handle assembly for a window or door leaf
Inventor: GIOVANNI MARIA LAPORTA
IPC: E05B13/00
Filed: 2017-05-04
Abstract: A handle assembly comprising a first rotatable handle grip 14 which is moveable axially relative to a handle axis, in a latch operating configuration rotation of the handle grip drives a latch between latched and unlatched positions, and a non-latch-operating configuration in which the handle assembly is non-operable for driving the latch wherein the handle assembly is transformed between the two configurations by moving the handle grip axially along the handle axis (e.g. by pulling the handle out or pushing the handle in). Preferably there is a blocking mechanism which prevents the handle from rotating in the non-latch operating configuration comprising a blocking protrusion 30 which engages with a stop member 40 to prevent the handle grip from moving. When the handle grip is pushed inwards against the biasing force of a biasing member (e.g. plate spring) this disengages the protrusion from the stop member allowing the handle grip to rotate. The handle assembly is intended to be used on doors or windows which can be left unlocked but easy unlatching is undesirable e.g. by children.

Title: Whipstock valve with nozzle bypass feature
Inventor: Dylan A Bulloch
IPC: E21B34/10
Filed: 2016-08-01
Abstract: A valve for subterranean whipstock service has a side port and a through passage with a biased movable sleeve to shift between circulation mode into the annulus and flow through mode for setting an anchor and then feeding window mill nozzles. The valve is run in when in circulation mode to allow operation of a measurement while drilling device. When the whipstock is properly oriented the pressure is increased to break a shear pin to allow a spring to bias the sleeve to the flow through position. The shifting of the sleeve opens a bypass passage around the restriction orifice that was first used to build pressure to break the shear pins that let the sleeve move under spring bias. As a result the spring can hold the sleeve in position despite high flow rates needed to remove cuttings from the mill as the window is opened.

If a subsequent image is identical the marking controller 3 need not update the data stored in each memory module 6. If the subsequent image differs from the original image only in subsections of the image the marking controller 3 can update the memory modules 6 associated with the subsections of the image that vary. There is also provided a method of laser marking using the laser marking system. The printhead may have a staggered array and each laser driver may be operable to drive one or more laser diodes.

Title: Gauge length optimization for signal preservation and gauge length processing for distributed vibration sensing
Inventor: THEO CUNY
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 2019-01-22
Abstract: Disclosed are methods for use in a well such as a hydrocarbon wellbore (20, figure 1), utilising optical fibres (24, figure 1) in distributed vibration sensing (DVS) systems (22, figure 1). An optical fibre is deployed to a region of interest, a wavelength of interest in the signals to be detected is selected as a function of the length of the optical fibre to generate a variable gauge length profile. The variable gauge length profile is applied to phase data acquired from the detected signals and defines gauge length values that vary as a function of the optical fibre length. The variable gauge length values are associated with a particular section of a plurality of sections of the optical fibre and are used to process the acquired phase data. Also disclosed is selecting the lowest wavelength of the signal causing the dynamic strain to generate optimal gauge length values tuned for corresponding sections of the fibre. Additionally, in an embodiment, a preliminary optimal gauge length value profile is used to produce a differentiated phase data set.
