Title: Optical inertial measurement apparatus and method
Inventor: JAMES DUNCAN REVELL
IPC: G01C21/16
Filed: 2014-10-20
Abstract: An optical inertial measurement unit or method for determining a six degrees of freedom pose in respect of a moving platform. The unit comprises a camera unit 10 comprised of at least three monocular cameras (14, 16, 18) spatially fixed with respect to each other and configured such that they cover motion of the platform along each of three substantially orthogonal axes and their fields of view do not overlap. Video output from each of the cameras is used to determine individual point correspondences and estimate, for each camera, a scale factor and the motion relative to a local 3D coordinate system associated with the respective camera. This motion can then be mapped to a global 3D coordinate system having its origin defined by a point between the cameras and the scale factors applied to determine a 6DOF pose with respect to the camera unit. An optical inertial measurement system is also disclosed.

Title: Steering lock device
Inventor: SUGIHARA SATOSHI
IPC: B60R25/021
Filed: 2014-10-22
Abstract: A steering lock device for a vehicle comprises: a cylinder lock 5 including a key cylinder; a lock bolt 4 for releasably engaging a steering shaft (32, figure 11); a body (2) having an opening portion in one side; a dead lock mechanism; and a cover 3; where the dead lock mechanism includes: a stopper member 23 biased from a release position not engaged with an engagement recess portion 4a of the lock bolt toward a prevention position engaged with the recess; and a trigger rod 21 biased toward the cylinder lock and configured to hold the stopper member at the release position by engaging the stopper member with a rear end portion of the cylinder lock and thus positionally restricting it, where the cover is provided with a hook portion 3b configured to engage with the trigger rod upon removal of the cover from the body and thus move the trigger rod to a not-restricted position where the trigger rod is disengaged from the stopper member. Therefore, should a vehicle theft be attempted by removing the cover of the lock, the stopper member is caused to engage the lock bolt thus providing a deadlock effect.

Title: Apparatus and method for controlling an atomic emission spectrometer
Inventor: Romain Farkas
IPC: G01N27/04
Filed: 2014-11-07
Abstract: A controller 316 and method for establishing safe operation of an atomic emission spectrometer AES (spark, optical emission spectrometer). At least one test parameter is measured, indicative of the arrangement of a sample on a holder 102, and compared to target values. The test parameter may be measured at time intervals, may depend on a current between a first and second terminal at the holder, may be impedance, a displacement of the holder 102, or a gas pressure in a chamber housing an electrode 112. The electrode 112 may be disabled via a switch 322 if the measured parameter is not within a target range, and therefore the sample not correctly arranged or secure. The first terminal may be at a sample receiver 104 of the holder, and the second terminal at a clamping element 106. Prior to measurement, a current may be applied between the first and second terminal.

Title: Localising portable apparatus
Inventor: Christopher James Linegar
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2014-12-15
Abstract: A method of localising portable apparatus in an environment comprises obtaining: a stored experience data set comprising a set of connected nodes: captured location representation data provided by at least one sensor associated with the portable apparatus, and a current pose estimate of the portable apparatus within the environment. The pose estimate is used to select a candidate set of the nodes that contain a potential match for the captured location representation data. The pose estimate is used to obtain a set of paths from path memory data, each said path comprising a set of said nodes previously traversed in the environment under similar environmental/visual conditions. The set of paths is used to refine the candidate set. The captured location representation data and the refined candidate set of nodes are compared in order to identify a current pose of the portable apparatus within the environment.

Title: Object exterior photographing system
Inventor: WONG KIN YING
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2015-05-11
Abstract: The system comprises a camera, 3, an electronic turn-plate/turntable unit, 2, and an electronic transmitter, 1. An object, 5, is placed on a rotary platform, 21, of the turntable unit that is rotated to enable multi-angle images to be taken of the object using the camera. The turntable unit is in wireless communication with the electronic transmitter which is in turn connected to the camera, possibly using the cameras hot shoe port, 31. When the shutter of the camera is triggered to take an image of the object the electronic transmitter passes an instruction to the turntable unit via the wireless link to rotate the rotary platform by an assigned angle. The rotary platform is thus rotated in synchronisation with the photographing by the camera so that multi-angle images of the object are captured. The rotary platform may rotate at a constant speed with the camera capturing a moving, video image of the object. Alternatively the rotary platform may rotate intermittently in a series of steps with the camera capturing an image of the object at each instance when the rotary platform stops.

Title: Method and apparatus for auscultating inaudible signals
Inventor: WEI WU
IPC: A61B7/04
Filed: 2014-09-07
Abstract: The prior auscultation technology is only applicable to the sound signals within the audio range and conducted by vibration. Disclosed in the present invention are a method and an apparatus for auscultating inaudible signals, and thus inaudible signals can be mapped into the audible range to form audible signals. The method comprises: obtaining signal data, comprising audible or inaudible signal data; extracting a signal waveform from the signal data; determining a play rate which allows the signal waveform to phonate by means of an audio play apparatus; and playing the auscultation with the signal waveform through the audio play apparatus at a play rate, or combining the play rate and the signal waveform to thereby constitute an audio signal, and then playing the audio signal through the audio player so as to achieve auscultation. When the method and apparatus of the present invention are applied, auscultation can be achieved on physical parameter changes expressed by any available wave-shaped curve, which promises to extract information which would have been difficult to find within the inaudible signal in the prior art and promote the development of science and technology innovations.
