IPC: H04W84/08
Filed: 2015-09-21
Abstract: A method and system for direct mode operation (DMO) of a talkgroup enables device to device (D2D) DMO operation leveraged from a Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system. The method includes scanning at a radio receiver a defined radio frequency spectrum; receiving at the radio receiver in the defined radio frequency spectrum a wake-up signal; identifying a talkgroup identifier in the wake-up signal, wherein the talkgroup identifier corresponds to a talkgroup being monitored by the radio receiver; in response to identifying the talkgroup identifier, decoding code sequences included in the wake-up signal; identifying in at least one of the code sequences both a center frequency and a transmission bandwidth of the DMO transmission; and tuning the radio receiver to receive the DMO transmission at the center frequency and transmission bandwidth.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a mobility vehicle
Inventor: JOHN STERRY HAWLEY ROSS
IPC: G05D1/08
Filed: 2017-05-10
Abstract: A mobility vehicle 20 has a seat 22 with a variable orientation with respect to a chassis 32. Adjustment of the angle of the seat 22 in at least one axis, for example compensating for pitch or roll of the vehicle 20, is enacted by a control system that operates a variable position support system, which in turn forms part of a pivotable mounting 24 that fixes one end of a mast 31 to the frame 32. The other end of the column 31 is attached to the seat 22. The control system includes a sensor 33 which determines an angle of the chassis to a reference, and adjusts the mast 31 in response to this angle. At least some of the control system is housed in the chassis 32. The vehicle 20 moves using ground contact means such as a pair of tracks or three or more wheels.

Title: Transmission method, communication device and communication network
Inventor: ROMAIN GUIGNARD
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2017-06-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of transmitting media data from a communication device 101-112 towards a processing device 160, comprising obtaining the media data captured by a sensor during a sensing period. In response to detection of a first authorisation such as a token associated with the sensing period, at least part of the media data is transmitted towards the processing device. Information such as a token characterising a second authorisation to transmit media data obtained by another communication device is transmitted. The media data may comprise audio or image data from a multi-camera system. There may be an initialisation during which a transmission sequence is retrieved indicating transmission order of the devices. The first and second authorisations may be comprised within a message identifying media data to be transmitted. Part of the media data can be dropped from a device buffer if a drift value in the time between sensing periods when accounting for processing time is above a threshold, or if the difference between expected and actual transmission start time is above a pre-set maximum time delay. There may be sensor fusion with collaborative processing. A token ring may prevent out-of-order reception at the processing device.

Title: Process control communication architecture
Inventor: Todd M Toepke
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2017-06-27
Abstract: A method and system for industrial computing devices to communicate using a process control messaging service (PCMS). A requesting device 112/113 that has been enrolled into the PCMS generates a message for a destination device in the communication protocol of the destination platform, and wraps the message in a PCMS protocol. The PCMS protocol contains a header that identifies the far-end device and the destination protocol. After network transport the method decodes the wrapped message into the protocol of the remote device and forwards the message to the destination. The method allows for a variety of communication services, including instant/real-time peer-to-peer messaging, time synchronization, data transfer with an asset management system, communication with field devices via an asset management system and large file transfers. Devices may communicate with each other, in one-to-one and one-to-many communications, and across networks, including isolated networks 204/206 inside the process control system or industrial setting and external networks 210.

Title: Image patch matching using probabilistic sampling based on an oracle
Inventor: NATHAN CARR
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 2017-07-20
Abstract: The application is directed toward systems and methods for image patch matching using systems and methods described herein that sample image patches to identify those image patches that match a target image patch. The systems and methods described herein probabilistically accept image patch proposals as potential matches based on an oracle usually an approximate similarity heuristic. The oracle is computationally inexpensive to evaluate but more approximate than similarity heuristics. The systems and methods use the oracle to quickly guide the search to areas of the search space more likely to have a match. Once areas are identified that likely include a match, the systems and methods use a more accurate similarity function to identify patch matches. The similarity heuristic may comprise sampling using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm such as a Metropolis Hastings algorithm or may be a mean pixel heuristic.

IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2018-05-15
Abstract: A status of a first device 110 is determined, a first user 150 input is received, and the status and input are used to associate the input with the first device. The status may be based on detecting a recent interaction with the user that has occurred within an elapsed time below a threshold, such as opening or closing a door of an appliance.

If the user input cannot be associated with a device with sufficient confidence, an ambiguity notice may be presented to the user for confirmation. The status may be determined based on proximity or orientation of a user with respect to the first device. The user command may be associated with a device based on a confidence score being above a threshold, or a device association score being the highest. The user input may be a spoken voice command or a gesture.

Title: Merchandise display system and display unit
Inventor: VIRGIL EVERETT
IPC: A47F1/12
Filed: 2018-08-22
Abstract: The display unit for a merchandise display system comprises: a support surface with a travel path between the rear and front of the support surface and a pusher 16 moveable along the travel path, where an actuator 14 controls movement of the pusher 16. An actuation force couples the actuator 14 and pusher 16 when below a threshold force and decouples them when the threshold force is exceeded. The actuator 14 may be a pulling member that is manually operated. The coupling may be by magnetic attraction or frictional engagement. A flexible linkage may connect the actuator 14 and pusher 16 in an uncoupled state where the actuator 14 may move forward independent of the pusher 16. The flexible linkage may be wound in a housing when not deployed. By disconnecting the pusher 16 and actuator 14 when a threshold is overcome, merchandise is protected from large compression forces. Multiple display units may be used on a shelf for the fronting of multiple rows of merchandise.
