Title: Vehicle charger protection
Inventor: SIMON PEAT
IPC: B60L53/14
Filed: 2021-10-15
Abstract: An electric vehicle (EV) charger circuit breaker system 1 comprises a controller 7 and a charger circuit breaker 41. The controller has an electrical input, a computer processor, and an output. The electrical input receives a presented voltage, indicative of: the integrity of a live conductor L1-L3 and/or the voltage on the live conductor; the integrity of a neutral conductor N; or the integrity of an earth conductor E of an EV charger power supply. The processor evaluates the presented voltage to determine whether it indicates a fault of the relevant conductor. The evaluation uses at least one reference voltage also received by the processor. The output sends a control signal to the charger circuit breaker where a fault is determined, whereupon an EV charger 43 is electrically isolated from the EV charger power supply in response to receiving the control signal. The processor may determine whether the presented voltage indicates an integrity fault in the live or neutral conductor by further referencing two reference voltages, one each supplied by two additional live conductors as part of a three-phase EV charger power supply. An integrity fault of the conductor is indicated by a characteristic combination of values of the present voltage and two reference voltages not otherwise present.

Title: An apparatus comprising a local oscillator for driving a mixer
Inventor: Maryam Dodangeh
IPC: H03K5/133
Filed: 2021-11-12
Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed comprising a mixer and a local oscillator (LO) with an oscillation frequency. The apparatus generates a set of LO signals to drive the mixer. Each LO drive signal has a frequency equal to the oscillation frequency multiplied by a first integer multiplication factor m, where m ≥ 2. Each LO drive signal is separated from adjacent LO signals by a phase difference of 360/n°, where n is an integer ≥ 2. In an embodiment, the oscillation frequency is that of a ring oscillator 402. The frequency multiplication is carried out by logic cells 408 which combine square waves from stages of the ring oscillator (figure 5 a & b). In contrast to prior art where a 9-stage ring oscillator operates at fRF/3, the present disclosure provides a 9-stage ring oscillator that operates at fRF/9. The lower oscillator frequency reduces power consumption, which is important in ‘wake-up’ receivers.

Title: Hierarchical image decomposition for defect detection
Inventor: Florin Michael Scheidegger
IPC: G06V10/82
Filed: 2021-11-19
Abstract: Method of recognising an object, defect or artefact in a high-resolution image 202 (i.e. an image with resolution much bigger than a working resolution 204 of an image recognition algorithm) comprising: down sampling the high-resolution image into a series of reduced resolution layers 206-210; tiling each down sampled image, each tile having the same resolution as that of the image recognition algorithm; applying the image recognition algorithm to each tile of each layer 212-216; and aggregating the results of the application of the image recognition algorithm to each tile. Overlapping tiles in which an object is detected may be merged (Fig.5). Aggregating the results may comprise: extracting polygons of a shape of a recognized object for each layer; and mapping local polygon coordinates to global coordinates in the image having the highest resolution, thereby allowing comparison between layers of differing resolution. Aggregating the results may comprise: comparing each adjacent layer through the use of a logical “AND” (e.g. 408-410, Fig.4); and combining the comparison of each neighbouring layer through a logical “OR” (418, Fig.4). The baseline algorithm may be a pre-trained neural network model, such as a mask R-CNN (Region Based Convolutional Neural Network) or fast R-CNN.

Title: Secure smart containers for controlling access to data
Inventor: ARIELLE TOVAH ORAZIO
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2021-11-25
Abstract: Instantiating a data container from an image file exposes a virtual file system and files to the user. The invention provides secure smart containers that store data and control access to the data thus accounting for security threats that arise when an unauthorised user gains access or an authorised user begins to perform illegitimate actions. Protection is extended at the initial point of access and the entire time a user accesses the data. A secure container that is based on an image file is instantiated at an endpoint device of a user, wherein the secure container includes encrypted data corresponding to the user. An access request to the secure container is authenticated by verifying credentials of the user. If access to the data is granted, access is controlled by decrypting and enabling access to certain portions of the data. If an unauthorised access event is detected and a risk threshold exceeded, further access to data may be prevented. The data may be encrypted such that different users can access different portions of the data using unique passwords or keys. Different levels of access may be defined.

Title: Reactive cold-applied thermoplastic bond coat
Inventor: ABBAS KAZMI
IPC: C09D5/00
Filed: 2021-09-14
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a reactive cold-applied thermoplastic bond coat system and method of application thereof. The system is a two- or three-component system defined by acrylate-based component(s) and an initiator suspension. Upon mixing of the components at the jobsite, the mixture is applied onto a substrate (e.g., waterproofing membrane), and a pavement material (e.g., asphalt) is applied onto the bond coat. Excellent asphalt compaction was observed, resulting in high surface contact area, along with very low water penetration to the bond coat interface. The high surface contact area and penetration of the asphalt into the bond coat provides a good bond between the asphalt and substrate.
