Title: Entrapment-risk related information based on vehicle data
Inventor: STEPHANE VITET
IPC: G08B21/00
Filed: 2015-08-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of, or system for, processing vehicle data, comprises receiving vehicle data obtained from at least one vehicle 12; estimating an entrapment-risk parameter indicative of an entrapment risk based on the vehicle data; and providing entrapment-risk related information based on the entrapment-risk parameter to an emergency response point 86, 88. The vehicle data can be vehicle speed or acceleration or deceleration, be related to the number or direction of impacts, a rollover parameter, the type of vehicle or an occupant parameter. The entrapment risk parameter can indicate the need of a predetermined rescue tool to extricate a passenger from the vehicle. The vehicle data can be received in the event of a crash and the entrapment-risk parameter can be determined using the received vehicle data and a database of past crash events and entrapment extraction actions. The invention ensures that the emergency services can dispatch the correct rescue vehicle and tools to an accident based on the likelihood of there being a trapped passenger in the vehicle, the entrapment-risk parameter representing the probability that a vehicle occupant is trapped in the vehicle after a collision and that special extraction tools will be required.

Title: Audio amplifiers
Inventor: JOHN PAUL LESSO
IPC: H04R3/04
Filed: 2017-07-11
Abstract: An audio driving circuit includes input signal compensation applied upstream of an amplifier module to adaptively compensate for distortion, linear effects or errors in a forward signal path. The audio drive circuit 301 comprises the amplifier module 102 in the forward signal path, an error block 302 and a first processing module 204. The error block receives a first signal SFF derived from the input signal SIN and a second signal SFB derived from the output signal SOUT, the difference forming a first error signal ε1. Additionally, a second processing module 303 or 303a, in the error block, which may comprise a finite (FIR) or an infinite (IIR) impulse response filter, is configured to apply a linear transfer function to either the first or second signal prior to determining the error signal. The first processing module generates a compensation signal SC to be applied to the input signal before the amplifier module, the compensation signal being based on the first error signal. Optionally, the first processing module may include a gain controller for applying a controlled gain to the compensation signal, where the gain applied may be based on an indication of the input signal level, for example an envelope value from an envelope detector. The audio driver may be implemented in an integrated circuit and drive, for example, audio headphones or a haptic transducer.

Title: A device for treating and recycling water
Inventor: NIALL DRENNAN
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 2019-06-07
Abstract: A device (80) for treating and recycling contaminated water from a waste soil cleaning system, the device comprising a settlement tank (11) divided into first (15) and second (16) compartments by a partition wall (14), with a channel (40) below, which may be adjustable. Preferably, contaminated water enters via a height adjustable inlet basin (17) from which the contaminated water overflows and the solids waste (81) drops into a base (18) with a solids outlet (19), and the floatable waste (82) is skimmed, such as by a mechanical skimmer (84) with scrapers, which pushes the waste up an inclined plate to a waste receptacle. The then relatively clean water passes through the channel into the second compartment with any remaining floatable waste preferably being transferred up another inclined plate (41) back into the first compartment for skimming. Any remaining solids will drop into the base (23) for removal through a second solids outlet (24). The clean water (83) exits through a treated water outlet (26). Additional partition walls can be used to sub-divide the second compartment. The base sections can be shaped as inverted cones with solids outlets, which can be connected to a sludge pump, positioned at the apex.
