Patent GB-2543642-A (GB)
Title: Manhole cover assembly
Inventor: RANDY BURR
IPC: E02D29/14
Filed: 2016-09-14
Abstract: A manhole cover assembly including a manhole cover 102 and a frame 118 to support the cover. The cover includes a latching assembly 104 comprising a latch yoke 148, which extends through the bore in the cover. The yoke 148 is pivotally attached to the latch member 114 along a first transverse axis. The latch member rotates around a second transverse axis which is separated from the first transverse axis. The transverse axes are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis the yoke 148 extends through the bore on. To unlock the cover 102 the yoke is pulled upwards, rotating the member 114, allowing it to clear the frame 118, allowing the cover 102 to be removed from the frame 118. While in the locked position the latching assembly 104 allows the cover to rise partially off of the frame 118 without being removed. This allows internal pressure within the system, produced by either water during flooding, or gas during or prior to an explosion, to be relieved and the gas or water to escape. The manhole cover should then drop back into position. This prevents dangerous conditions such as a manhole cover being propelled through the air, or an open manhole unseen beneath water during flood conditions.

Title: Shock-absorbing energy dissipation padding placed at eye level in an autonomous vehicle
Inventor: GIL THIEBERGER
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2016-10-26
Abstract: An autonomous on-road vehicle is provided with a non-transparent shock absorbing energy dissipating padding (SAEDP) and a camera system. The SAEDP 140 is coupled to a compartment of the vehicle, and is located, during normal driving, at eye level in front of an occupant sitting in a front seat of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a stiff element 141, such as the body of the vehicle, configured to support the SAEDP and to resist deformation during collision in order to reduce compartment intrusion. The stiff element is located, during normal driving, at eye level between the SAEDP and the outside environment. A camera 142 is configured to take video of the outside environment in front of the occupant, and a computer is utilized to generate, based on the video, a representation of the outside environment in front of the occupant at eye level, which may be presented to the occupant using a display 144. The SAEDP may comprise an airbag, and the video may be displayed on a head mounted display or on a display mounted on the SAEDP (figure 22). Numerous other features of the camera and display system are disclosed.

Title: Semantic natural language vector space
Inventor: ZHAOWEN WANG
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2016-11-09
Abstract: Techniques for image captioning with word vector representations 704 are described. In implementations, instead of outputting results of caption analysis directly, the framework is adapted to output points in a semantic word vector space 702. These word vector representations reflect distance values in the context of the semantic word vector space. In the disclosed method, features are first extracted and attributes generated. Words are then mapped into a vector space and the results of caption analysis are expressed as points in the vector space that capture semantic relationships between words. In the vector space, similar concepts with have small distance values. The word vectors are not tied to particular words or a single dictionary. A post-processing step is employed to map the points to words and convert the word vector representations to captions (408). Accordingly, conversion is delayed to a later stage in the process when a dictionary could be used. The feature extraction step could employ a convolution neural network (CNN (402).

Title: Multi-Path digitation based on input signal fidelity and output requirements
Inventor: EDMUND MARK SCHNEIDER
IPC: H03M1/18
Filed: 2017-04-27
Abstract: A multi-path ADC is disclosed. The system processes an analogue input signal in a first processing path 201a to generate a first digital signal. The system also processes the analog input signal in a second processing path 201b to generate a second digital signal. More paths may be provided. The second and subsequent paths are configured to consume a smaller amount of power than the first path. A controller 220 operates a selector 227 to select one of the digital signals based on a fidelity characteristic of the input signal such as its amplitude, its distortion or its noise floor. These characteristics may be determined by input signal analysis (228, fig.3). The controller may also select a digital signal based on subsequent processing requirements. Based on such fidelity characteristics or downstream processing requirements, the controller 220 may determine that processing of the input signal with higher performance / higher power in processing paths 201 may not result in significant benefits over lower power processing.
