Title: Adaptive media for measurement of blood glucose concentration and insulin resistance
Inventor: RICHARD JOHN WOOD
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2017-05-30
Abstract: A device (e.g. a mobile phone, smart watch, or wearable device such as glasses) monitors a subject e.g. by video Super-Pulse information is extracted, possibly using a decision tree, representing the best possible pulse wave excluding noise aberrations. The Super-Pulses are stable and repeatable digital volume pulses, characteristic of an individual and similar to a finger print. The Super-Pulse may be characterised by Gaussian coefficients, using minimisation of the difference between it and a suitable Gaussian, giving a unique vector value related for example to variable heart rate or vascular stiffness. A neural network may be trained to determine data from the Super-Pulse. Other bio-markers may be determined such as blood glucose, insulin resistance or blood pressure and the system is non-invasive. The effect of medications, functional foods, vitamins or exercise on baseline glucose or insulin resistance, or the efficacy of a prescribed routine, may be monitored.

Title: Protection system
Inventor: RICHARD OLLERENSHAW
IPC: B60M3/04
Filed: 2018-11-29
Abstract: A railway electrification protection system includes: a plurality of substations 30-34 and substation controllers 300-304; a plurality of conductor sections 10-15, 10’-15’; a plurality of power converters 20-23 and power converter controllers 200-203; circuit breakers at the substations; and a network connection 1 between the substations and the power converters. The conductor sections deliver power to trains and are arranged between substations. The power converters receive power from a grid G for supply to the substations and subsequent delivery to the conductor sections. The substation controllers provide fault detection functionality for the conductor sections at the substations. The circuit breakers are operable to disconnect a conductor section at the substation under the control of a substation controller. The network connection allows the substation controllers to distribute protection control signals to the power converters, whereupon the power converter controllers perform protection functions at the power converters. When a fault (e.g. short-circuit) on a conductor section between substations is detected: a protection control signal is generated and delivered to the power converters over the network connection; the power converters are controlled to perform a protection function; then the faulty conductor section is disconnected via the circuit breakers at substations either side of the fault.
