Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif autopropulsé pouvant se déplacer le long d'une lumière, lequel dispositif comprend un ensemble de chambres gonflables agencées en série, les chambres d'extrémité dudit ensemble s'étendant au moins radialement lorsqu'elles sont gonflées. Des passages de raccordement permettent une communication fluidique entre chaque paire de chambres adjacentes. Une source de fluide est attachée à l'une des chambres d'extrémité. Les passages de raccordement sont tels que le fluide gonfle les chambres selon une séquence, en commençant par la chambre la plus proche de la source, et en terminant par la chambre la plus éloignée de la source. Les chambres se dégonflent selon la même séquence, en commençant par la chambre la plus proche de la source et en terminant par la chambre la plus éloignée de la source. La source de fluide peut être un tube d'alimentation en fluide s'étendant jusqu'à une alimentation située à l'extérieur de la lumière, ou peut être intégrée et portée par le dispositif. Le dispositif de l'invention peut progresser le long de la paroi de la lumière ou sur un fil-guide inséré.

Abstract: A vital sign measurement device includes a sensor fixation device, an optical sensing system, and an output unit. The sensor fixation device is adapted to be placed against an anatomical location of a subject, within which is an artery. The optical sensing system includes an optical source, an optical refractor, and an optical detector, all of which are held by the sensor fixation device and move with movement of the sensor fixation device. The optical sensing system is positioned with respect to the sensor fixation device to sense movement corresponding to an arterial pulse when the sensor fixation device is placed against the anatomical location of the subject. The optical sensing system can sense an arterial pulse from the movement, bending, or compression of at least one portion of the optical sensing system relative to other portions of the optical sensing system resulting in a change in an optical signal received by the optical detector. The output unit receives, from the optical sensing system, an input indicative of movement corresponding to an arterial pulse and generates, using the input, a measure of the vital sign.

Abstract: A buoyant actuator (10) for use in apparatus (11) for harnessing ocean wave energy and for converting the harnessed energy to high-pressure seawater. The buoyant actuator (10) comprises a body (21) defining a chamber (23) having a pliant outer skin (27). The chamber (23) is adapted to contain matter and a hydrodynamic property of the body (21) is selectively variable by varying the matter within the chamber (23). The variation to the hydrodynamic property may comprise a variation to the buoyancy (either positively or negatively) or a variation to the response area (such as the volume or shape) of the body (21), as well as a combination thereof. The variation to the matter may comprise addition of matter to, or extraction of matter from, the chamber (23). The matter may comprise a solid, liquid or gas, as well as any combination thereof. In the arrangement shown, the matter comprises foam spheres (53). The outer skin (27) is drawn into a taut condition by the outward pressure of the foam spheres (53) inside, causing the actuator to assume its design shape. The volume occupied by the foam spheres (53) is in total still less than the total enclosed volume of the chamber (23) and there are interstitial regions (55) around each sphere (53). The interstitial regions (55) may be filled with fluid to adjust the buoyancy.

Granted: 2012-05-29
Abstract: A vehicle control system having a controller and a spatial database adapted to provide spatial data to the controller at control speed. The spatial data provided from the spatial database to the controller can be any kind of data or information that has some relationship or association with "real world" geographical location, or if it is stored somehow with reference to geographical location. The spatial data received by the controller from the database forms at least part of the control inputs that the controller operates on to control the vehicle. The fact that the controller operates directly on information that is inherently associated with "real world" geographic location represents a change in thinking compared with existing vehicle control systems. In particular, it means that the control system of the present invention "thinks" directly in terms of spatial location. A vehicle control system in accordance with one particular embodiment of the invention comprises a task path generator, a spatial database, at least one external spatial data receiver, a vehicle attitude compensation module, a position error generator, a controller, and actuators to control the vehicle.
