Title: Improvements in or relating to vibrating fork level switches
Inventor: JINGDONG ZHANG
IPC: G01F25/00
Filed: 2016-08-03
Abstract: A method of calibrating a vibrating fork level switch 10 uses a frequency reading (WFF) obtained from fully immersing the switch in a medium 18. The method may first establish a vibration frequency of the switch in air (DFF) and the DFF and WFF measures may be combined to determine a density of the medium. The method may further comprise establishing a relationship between density and switching frequency at a given point, identifying the density of the medium and establishing a switching point in that medium. The switching point frequency may be determined from the DFF and WFF based on a 6th order polynomial. The WFF and DFF measures may be classified into bands, the combination of two bands being used to establish a density classification for the medium. Switching frequencies may be allocated to each density classification at a given switch point. When used to determine the content of a medium suspended in a liquid having density ρ0, the method may comprise measuring the WFF of a combination of the medium in the carrier liquid to derive a combination density ρ and comparing ρ and ρ0 to derive an indication of the amount of medium in the carrier liquid.

Filed: 2016-09-29
Abstract: This application is for a way of identifying one or more locations of a video clip within video content by producing segments of the video clip 10 and then comparing 16 the segments of the video clip to segments of the video content 12. It then produces, from the comparison of the segments, a first measure of similarity 18, and filters 20 the first measure of similarity using a temporal filter to exclude potential matches based on temporal separation of positions of high measure of similarity to produce candidate matches. It then compares 22 the video clips to the video content in the positions identified as candidate matches to produce a second measure of similarity. It then uses this to identify from the second measure of similarity one or more locations of the video clip within the video content 24. A threshold temporal distance may be a variable that is based on the length of the video clip, genre or proximity to the beginning or end of the clip.
