Title: Pump assembly
Inventor: RICHARD PAUL HAYES-PANKHURST
IPC: F04C15/00
Filed: 2016-02-08
Abstract: A pump assembly comprising a housing 100, a support frame 200 that can be attached to the housing, and a rotor 300 that can rotate within the housing. The housing comprises an interior surface, a fluid inlet portion 102A, a fluid outlet portion 102B and a diaphragm portion 110. A housing-engaging surface area of the rotor will form a sealing interference contact with the interior surface, and a chamber-forming surface area of the rotor disposed radially inward from the housing-engaging surface area will form a chamber with the interior surface. When the rotor rotates within the housing the chamber can convey fluid from the inlet to the outlet portion. The diaphragm portion will bear against the chamber-forming surface as the chamber-forming surface travels from the outlet to the inlet, to prevent fluid passing from the outlet to the inlet and to expel the fluid from the chamber through the outlet portion. The support frame will be attached to spaced-apart portions of the housing and will be sufficiently stiff to counter-balance the torque applied to the housing by the rotor.

Title: Methods and apparatuses relating to an estimated position of an audio capture device
Inventor: Francesco Cricri
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2016-06-21
Abstract: A spatial audio capture system 1 involves determining whether an estimated position of an audio capture device 12, such as a lavalier microphone attached to a performer 26 on stage, is within boundaries 14 of a predetermined area. If the estimated position is not within the boundaries of the predetermined area, audio data captured by the audio capture device is associated with an adjusted position. The adjusted position may be located at the centre, at a boundary, or at a last estimated position of the predetermined area. The position estimation may be achieved based on a location of a positioning tag 18, while the adjusted position may be based on a visually detected position of a body associated with the audio capture device (e.g. using a video camera). The captured audio data may be rendered by a spatial audio playback device from a location corresponding to the adjusted position. The boundaries of the predetermined area may be set by using a gesture recognition device to detect one or more gestures of a user, such as an actor, speaker or performer, associated with the audio capture device. The system may be utilised in the production of virtual reality videos.
