Title: Geological sediment provenance analysis and display system
Inventor: DANIEL STANTON
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 2018-03-19
Abstract: Analysis and display of source-to-sink information according to some aspects includes grouping geochronological data associated with a sediment sample into optimized subpopulations within a reference population and target populations, and producing Gaussian functions for the reference population and the target populations using the subpopulations as a priori constraints. The Gaussian functions describe a distribution of zircons. The subpopulations within the reference population and the target populations are compared based on at least one statistical attribute from the Gaussian functions to identify areas of sediment provenance, and the areas of sediment provenance are displayed in various ways, for example, on a paleographic map as of an age of deposition of the sediment sample. A sink-to-sink analysis can also be performed to identify dissimilarities between samples.

Title: Dimmer switches
Inventor: Mark Christopher Lewin
IPC: H05B45/315
Filed: 2020-06-12
Abstract: The maximum duty cycle of a semiconductor switch 2 in a trailing edge LED dimmer is set by a processor 4 which measures a supply line voltage after each zero crossing of the mains power cycle and reduces the maximum duty cycle by a fixed percentage if that voltage has dropped by a predetermined amount. It may also restore the maximum duty cycle by fixed increments while the voltage is maintained at the predetermined amount. The processor also monitors the semiconductor switch 2 for any excessive ON voltage and responds to any detected fault condition to shut down the switch or further adjust the duty cycle. A voltage divider 10 scales down the voltage on the supply line so that it may be measured by the processor 4.

IPC: G06T15/30
Filed: 2020-07-24
Abstract: A method of generating an image of a scene from a target viewpoint is provided. The method comprises capturing a plurality of multi-plane images of a virtual scene and determining for each multi-plane image, whether a frontmost clipping plane pair defined for that multi-plane image intersects a virtual object in the virtual scene. Responsive to a positive determination for a respective clipping plane pair, the corresponding image data in the corresponding image plane is identified and assigned an identifier, thus generating a modified version of the corresponding multi-plane image. Camera information is obtained for the one or more virtual cameras that captured the multi-plane images and the target virtual camera. An output image is then generated by combining at least one of the modified multi plane images with another of the multi-plane images in accordance with the obtained camera information. A corresponding system is also provided.

Title: Magnetic sensor based proximity sensing
Inventor: JIAN GUO
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2019-02-21
Abstract: Magnetic sensing technology can be used to detect changes, or disturbances (e.g., changes in magnetic field strength), in magnetic fields and can be used to measure the precise location/positioning of an electronic device in proximity to a magnetic source. In order to avoid interference by earth's static magnetic field, a modulated magnetic field can be used for magnetic based proximity sensing. Received modulated magnetic field signals can be demodulated to determine proximity of the sensor to the source of the modulated magnetic field. Devices such as gloves or devices with fingertip nodes based on receiving modulated magnetic fields can be used to detect user hand position.
