Title: Desk with proximity zones and interacting displays
Inventor: VERTEGAAL ROEL
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2013-01-04
Abstract: Apparatus for displaying electronic documents to a user comprising: first proximity zone 20 close to the user; second proximity zone 22 further away from the user; third proximity zone 24 even further away than the second zone; displays 10, 12, 14; and a sensing device determining the proximity zone where the displays are located. The functionality of the displays depends on their proximity zone: documents can be edited in the first zone, while displays are locked in the second zone and turned off in the third. Display resolution also depends on the zone. The sensing device can determine which display is closest to a keyboard and input keyboard actions to said display. When a display touches another display a touchscreen on the latter display is activated. A proximity sensor in a display allows display of document information of a document from an adjacent display. Displays can be thin-film, electrophoretic, flexible.

Title: Electrode-skin contact quality assessment
Inventor: SU-SHIN ANG
IPC: A61N1/08
Filed: 2015-04-27
Abstract: A method of identifying poor electrical contact between a patients skin and the electrodes of a patch used for real-time monitoring of a time-varying physiological signal such as an ECG.

Title: Measurement Sensor
Inventor: INGRAM JONATHAN FRANCIS GORDON
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2011-12-20
Abstract: A measurement sensor comprises a radio frequency identification circuit (RFID) for measuring a parameter. The circuit comprises at least one component which has a characteristic that changes to reflect a measured parameter, such that the frequency of the sensor varies according to changes in the parameter. Furthermore, the communication frequency of the sensor (i.e. as it relates to a reader) varies according to changes in the measured parameter. The invention extends to a system incorporating such a sensor. The variable component of the circuit is a coil (inductance) or capacitor, and changes in these elements change the resonant frequency of the circuit. The parameter sensed could be angle, length, pressure, velocity, mass, or derived parameters such as acceleration, volume, energy, power or torque. These parameters could relate to a vehicle tyre. The RFID circuit could also store calibration data.

Title: Method of installing an in-line structure in a pipeline
Inventor: MARTIN CHALMERS
IPC: F16L1/20
Filed: 2016-09-16
Abstract: An In-Line Structure (ILS) 37 is installed to a fluid-filled pipeline extending from a reel, over an aligner 22, and through a lay-tower during offshore reeling. The pipeline has an oblique part 24 from the reel to the aligner, and a vertical part from the aligner 22 through the lay-tower. To install the ILS 37, fluid 32 is drained from the vertical part of the pipeline to create a drained portion 34 up to and around the aligner 22. The pipeline is cut at or near the draining location to create upper 36 and lower 38 open ends of the pipeline. The ILS 37 is then installed to at least the upper open end 36. A vent hose is located through a vent port in the ILS 37, fluid is added into the drained portion 34 and air is vented through the vent hose to substantially fill the drained portion 34 with the fluid. A seal is used to seal the vent port after the fluid fills the drained portion 34. The fluid 32 can be pressurised, with the pressure being relieved prior draining the fluid 32, and then repressurised after adding the fluid into the drained portion 34.
