Title: Automated system for safe policy deployment
Inventor: PHILIP S THOMAS
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2015-07-21
Abstract: A method is disclosed for iteratively generating new policies to replace policies deployed in advertising campaigns, the policies being used to choose advertisements. The method includes using iterative techniques 1204,1206 to generate new policies and applying reinforcement learning and a concentration inequality on deployed policies 1208 using the new policies to estimate values of a measure of performance of the new policies and calculate one or more statistical guarantees of the estimated values. One or more of the new policies are deployed 1210 when the statistical guarantee expresses a confidence that the estimated value of a measure of performance correspond to a threshold level based at least in part on a measure of performance of the one or more deployed policies. A system is also provided that uses a policy space to select policies to replace deployed policies by iteratively adjusting high dimensional vectors expressing the policies and computing the direction in a policy space of the policies that is expected to point towards a region that is expected to be safe which is in an estimate of a direction in the policy space that causes performance to increase in the quickest manner, and selecting one of the polices accordingly.

Title: A coupling mechanism for light vehicles
Inventor: MICHAEL HODGES
IPC: B64F1/12
Filed: 2017-02-24
Abstract: A coupling mechanism 100 for coupling a light vehicle to a surface comprises a magnetic coupling device 110 arranged such that it may be switched between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode the device generates an external magnetic field less than a first strength, and in the second mode the device generates an external magnetic field of at least a second strength, the second strength being greater than the first strength. A surface detection unit 190 is coupled to the magnetic coupling device and is arranged to determine when the light vehicle is within a predetermined distance of a surface. In response to the surface detection unit determining that the light vehicle is within the predetermined distance the magnetic coupling device is switched from the first mode to the second mode, to secure the light vehicle to the surface. A magnetic adapter 120 is arranged to minimise the external field of a permanent magnet in a first position and maximise it in a second position and this may be actuated by a coupling activation unit 130.

Title: A system and method for training use of a toothbrush
Inventor: CLINT SULLIVAN
IPC: A61C17/22
Filed: 2015-09-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method of use to train a user the correct use of a toothbrush. A typical user may be a child, and correct use incudes not biting the toothbrush. Accordingly the system includes a toothbrush capable of detecting when it is bitten. This may be achieved by including a sensor capable of detecting pressure applied to a head and/or a brush assembly of the toothbrush from two opposing directions at the same time. The user is initially provided with a training material (book, CD, DVD etc.) which encourages the user to associate correct use of the toothbrush with a (pleasurable) sound. When the user brushes their teeth without biting the toothbrush, the sound associated with correct use is provided by an audio device (speaker, headphones, etc.). If the user bites the toothbrush the sound is switched off until such time as the bite is released and normal brushing recommences.
