Title: Vehicle collision avoidance
Inventor: ALEX MAURICE MILLER
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2017-05-30
Abstract: A method for avoiding collisions between a host vehicle and target vehicles involve first identifying a plurality of targets 205. A path or trajectory for each target is predicted 210. A threat number for each target is determined 215 based at least in part on the predicted paths. The threat number indicates a probability or likelihood of a collision between the respective target and a host vehicle. One or more vehicle subsystems in the host vehicle is actuated based on the threat numbers 230. The threat number may be based on a speed, acceleration, position or projected path of the target and the distance between the host and the target. The host vehicle subsystems may include braking, steering or propulsion. The subsystems may act to move the host away from the projected paths of the targets, or brake or slow the host vehicle, if the threat numbers are above a threshold.

Title: Systems and methods for verifying and authenticating the remote signing
Inventor: Shahid Hanif
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2018-10-17
Abstract: Secure management and authentication of signable documents, and verification of identity of the remote signee and their respective indicia/signature affixed on the signable document. The described system may employ a verifying server and a remote signing data capture interface, such as a signees/user’s mobile device, to verify the identity of the remote signee as well as authenticate the signable document and the respective indicia affixed by the remote signee. The verifying server uses the process of extraction and correlation of identity particulars/details extracted from image and video data captured by the remote signing data capture interface, these may be facial features extracted from documents containing identity document photos presented by the remote signee such as driving licence or passport. The invention also provides for document security as the signable document is only disclosed to the remote signee subject to successful verification of their identity. The system and method gives confidence in the remote signing process by recording and storing a non-refutable acknowledgement of the instance of the said signing. An acknowledgement of a signable document and affixation of indicia maybe be obtained by providing the remote signee with a signable acknowledgment page to be printed and signed by the remote signee. Indicia is then extracted from image/video data of the acknowledgment page and matched with indicia extracted from the signable document.

Title: Retrofittable adjustable automatic water saving device for a toilet using a 'flapper' flushing cistern
Inventor: KEITH ALAN HART
IPC: E03D5/09
Filed: 2019-05-23
Abstract: A retrofittable dual flush system comprises a flapper valve with a rubber sealing bung 2, and a moveable actuator pin/weight 6, which moves dependent upon a float 5. The float is attached to the overflow pipe 1 by a fixed bracket/guide 4. A chain is attached to the bung at one end and to the handle or push button at the other. The system starts off with a full tank of water and a closed bung (Fig. 1). When the handle is depressed the chain lifts the valve (Fig. 2). As water empties out of the tank, the water level drops, and so does the level of the float, which subsequently causes the pin to be pushed down through the fixed bracket (Fig. 3). Eventually the pin contacts the bung, and pushes it down so as to seal the tank (Fig. 4). If a short flush is used the chain is released and the float drops, the actuator pin contacting the bung and pressing it down and sealing the outlet. If the handle is held down then the chain allows the bung to remain up, and a long flush can be facilitated. The device may be retrofitted to an existing toilet.
