Title: Method and system for determining when a tipper body has been emptied
Inventor: MAREK BALDYS
IPC: G01G19/08
Filed: 2015-03-06
Abstract: The invention relates to determining when a tipper body of a tipper lorry has been emptied by monitoring both the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder 14 used to raise the tipper body 8 and the angle of the tipper body during the tipping operation. The tipper comprises a tipper body which moves in a pivoting manner with respect to a frame or chassis 6 and the movement is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder which is disposed between the frame and body. The method comprises commencing a tipping operation in which the tipper body containing a load and it is pivoted from a resting position towards a tipped position during which the load is emptied from the tipper body. During this operation a pressure parameter relating to the hydraulic pressure within the hydraulic cylinder is measured with a pressure sensor 42 (in figure 3) and an angular positional parameter relating to the tip angle of the tipper body is also measured. Both are monitored to determine if emptying has occurred. Another invention is directed to a hydraulic cylinder comprising an inclination sensor. The cylinder has a pivot axis which is perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.

Title: Means for supporting a trouser crease
Inventor: VLADIMIR TERESHCHENKO
IPC: A41D1/10
Filed: 2015-03-11
Abstract: As a means of supporting a trouser crease (figure 3), a trouser leg 101 comprises a slit 105 that incorporates a stiffening element. The slit 105 is positioned such that, in use, it sits either side of a wearer's shoe (figure 3). Such positioning stabilises the stiffening element and causes it to resist any lateral movement of the trouser leg 101 above the shoe. The stiffening element may be a form of binding or interfacing, or it could be formed of metal or plastic. The stiffening may be formed by impregnating the edge of the slit 105 with a starch or glue, or it may be formed by using a particular form of stitching.

Title: Methods for verifying data integrity
Inventor: GERAINT LUFF
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-09-07
Abstract: The integrity of data in a received message comprising a plurality of packets is verified by also receiving a manifest associated with the message comprising group check values for the packets, generating a progression of rolling hashes for the packets, deriving group check values from the cumulative hashes along at least one path, and verifying the integrity of the data based on a determination that the derived group check values correspond to either the check values in the manifest or to the check values of groups along a different path. The manifest provides data identifying the groups and paths. The groups along different paths may be forward or backward consecutive groups with equal or different stride. The group check values may comprise extract sample bits of first or second progressions of rolling hashes. The progressions may be dependent on static hashes of packets or on secret data. The secret data may be derived from secret protocol data in the manifest that is decrypted. The manifest may be broadcast to a plurality of receiving devices.

Title: Control device for a surgical instrument
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER PAUL HANCOCK
IPC: F16C1/02
Filed: 2016-05-17
Abstract: A movement transfer mechanism for a surgical scoping device, such as an endoscope or gastroscope, wherein a rotational input 112 at the proximal housing of an instrument is converted into an axial sliding movement 118 that is conveyed down the length of an instrument channel of the scope by an elongate follower 116. At the distal end a coupling 120 converts the longitudinal translation 118 of the follower 116 back in to rotational movement 126 of the instrument 124. The coupling may use helical screw threads 122 to convert between rotational and axial movement. By conveying a linear force along the instrument channel rather than a twisting force, the problems of slipping and discontinuous operation of the distal instrument due to friction between the instrument and the instrument channel can be reduced or eliminated.
