Title: Method of modelling a subsurface volume
Inventor: ABADPOUR ANAHITA
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2013-02-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of monitoring the behaviour of a subsurface volume. The method comprises transforming a single discrete parameter or an ensemble of discrete parameters describing an attribute of the subsurface volume into N indicator parameters each having 2 possible discrete values. Each discrete parameter has N possible discrete values with N greater than or equal to 2. The method also comprises, for each of the two value classes of each indicator parameter, determining the anisotropic distance to a value transition interface. Each of the indicator parameters are then transformed into a corresponding continuous parameter using the determined anisotropic distance to the value transition interface and the continuous parameters are used in a history matching process.

Title: Video processing
Inventor: KNEE MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: H04N19/513
Filed: 2013-05-13
Abstract: Candidate motion vector fields are generated representing the respective positions of a frames pixels in a reference frame. Initial candidate vectors are refined, the refinement making use of spatial gradients of pixel values, and the relative contribution of pixels to the refinement process depends on a previously determined vector error, e.g. a DFD (Displaced Frame Difference). The contribution of pixels to the refinement process may be determined by multiplication by a weight function which is a decreasing function (e.g. a negative exponential function) of the error vector. A motion vector assigned to a pixel in a region in a current frame is refined in dependence upon a combination of a plurality of sets of pixel value gradient parameters for a respective plurality of pixels at locations in the region of the current frame. A motion vector assigned to a pixel in a region in a current frame may be refined in dependence upon a combination of a plurality of sets of pixel value gradient parameters for a respective plurality of pixels at locations in the reference frame defined by motion vectors assigned to pixels in the region of the current frame.

Title: Thyristor battery chargers with improved control system
Inventor: JOHN MALCILM PIKE
IPC: H02J7/10
Filed: 2014-12-23
Abstract: A battery charging device has a supply voltage 1 reduced by a transformer 2. The reduced voltage is rectified using a thyristor controlled rectifier 3. The rectified voltage is then smoothed using an inductor 4 and a capacitor 5. The charger output, output voltage and output current are indicated at 6,7, and 8 respectively. A feedback control 9 generates a demand control signal 10 which is fed into linearizer 11. The linearizer generates a corrected demand control signal 12 which is supplied to the thyristor controlled rectifier 3. The corrected signal acts to control the thyristor and therefore produces an output voltage from the rectifier that is linear with respect to the firing angle [Figures 2 and 4]. The linear relationship between the firing angle and the rectifier output acts to produce a constant gain in the control system for all firing angles allowing the battery charger to operate over a wider range of input and output voltages including single and multiple phase input voltages.

Title: Vehicle steering and braking deployment logic for pedestrian protection leg stiffener
Inventor: CUDDIHY MARK A
IPC: B60R21/34
Filed: 2015-02-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a deployable pedestrian protection leg stiffener 28 of a motor vehicle 10 is provided, said stiffener being retracted from its deployed position if a measured steering angle of the vehicle exceeds a limit angle. The stiffener may also be retracted if a vehicle brake is applied and a longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle simultaneously exceeds a limit acceleration. The stiffener may also be retracted if the speed of the vehicle drops below a lower limit for longer than a predetermined time, or if the speed exceeds an upper limit. When in the deployed position the stiffener is intended to prevent a pedestrians leg from tending to move under the bumper 18 of the vehicle in the event of a collision. Retraction of the stiffener, possibly to a position rearward of the front of the bumper and above a ground clearance plane (32, figure 2) of the vehicle, prevents damage to the stiffener, or from stopping it from interfering with the vehicles ground clearance when off road. An off road mode may be provided where the stiffener is prevented from deploying regardless of vehicle speed.

Title: Error correction with on-demand parity sectors in magnetic data storage devices
Inventor: CHATRADHI SRIDHAR
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2015-03-04
Abstract: A disk data storage device that comprises: a track level error correction system and an on demand error correction system. The track level error correction system writes a first set of parity sectors on a first track in addition to a first set of sectors of data stored in memory. The on demand error correction system determines a number of data errors in the data written on the first track after a second track has been written, and if the number of errors exceeds a threshold level, writes, on a third track, a second set of parity sectors of the first set of sectors of data stored in said memory. The disk storage may be a shingled magnetic recording (SMR) device and the types of error corrected may be burst errors due to write head path movement encroaching onto neighbouring track data. The on demand error correction system may be used when the track level error correction system fails to correct all errors detected in the data on the first track. There may be more sectors in the second set of parity sectors than the first set.

Filed: 2015-04-01
Abstract: A fluid flow disruptor 14 includes a base flange 40 having outer and inner diameters 46, 48, the base flange 40 configured to couple to a valve, and a cap 42 extending from the base flange 40. The cap 42 includes a proximal end 50 coupled to the base flange 40 about the inner diameter 48, a distal end 52, and a sidewall 54 extending between the proximal end 50 and the distal end 52. Apertures 58 are formed in the sidewall 54. The disruptor directs fluid flowing in an axial direction to flow around the cap distal end 52, through the apertures 58, through the base flange 40 inner diameter 48 and into the valve, and thereby increases turbulence of the fluid and decreases an axial momentum load of the fluid acting on the valve.
