Title: Safety breaker
Inventor: MARK KOSTANJSEK
IPC: H02H3/33
Filed: 2015-01-05
Abstract: A safety breaker 101 for a ring main circuit 103 detects a current differential between a live ring 104,105 and a neutral ring 106,107 using differential detection means 111 when a disconnection is present in either ring and disconnects the ring circuit 103 from the mains supply 102 using disconnection means 117. A reconnection may not proceed until a fault causing the differential has been rectified. The breaker 101 may incorporate a residual current device. The differential detection means 111 may sample current from one point on the live ring and neutral ring and may detect a current differential when a fault occurs between the mains supply 102 and the safety breaker 101. The breaker 101 may comprise a test mechanism to determine its correct functioning. A test socket (figures 3 and 4), which may function as an electrical connection socket, may test the function of the breaker 101 by engaging or disengaging the live or neutral ring, creating a current differential and causing the mains supply 102 to be interrupted by switch 117. The means for engaging/disengaging the live/neutral rings may comprise a lock and key.

Title: Control system for media manipulation
Inventor: STEPHEN BERNARD STREATER
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2015-05-26
Abstract: A user interface for modifying multiple characteristics of visual or audio media comprising an effect map having multiple effect points each representing transformation of a particular characteristic of the target media, and an input map wherein a control point is moveable by a user. The characteristic transformations represented by each effect point are effected according to the relative location of the control point to the effect point. The input map does not indicate the location or identity of the effect points within the effect map. The input map may be displayed on a touch screen and the effect map may be overlaid upon the input map. The level of modification of the characteristics represented by each effect point may be dependent upon the position of the control point within an effect point radius. The aim of the invention is to provide a simpler and more intuitive control method for manipulating photo, video and audio media by masking any labelling of the effects to be applied. The user is encouraged to rely upon visual/audio feedback of the effects as they are applied in real time so that the desired result may be achieved.

Title: Configuration management for a resource with prerequisites
Inventor: DELEO DANIEL STEPHEN
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2014-02-28
Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards employing a configuration management system to report one or more assumptions based on whether or not prerequisites for a resource are satisfied. The configuration management system may determine at least one prerequisite that corresponds to a provided resource. The prerequisites may indicate what the resource requires in order to put the system into the target state. If the prerequisites are unsatisfied, then assumptions regarding the system may be determined and reported to a user of the system. The assumptions may include at least a state transition that upon occurrence puts the system into the target state. If the system is in a non-operational mode, such that state actions and state transitions are simulated, rather than being executed, the system may be enabled to perform other actions as if the prerequisites were satisfied and the state transition occurred, even if it is not.

Title: Abnormality diagnosis apparatus for particulate filter
Inventor: KAZUYA TAKAOKA
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2016-04-01
Abstract: A system for diagnosing an abnormality of a particulate filter uses the output value of a particulate matter (PM) sensor provided downstream of the particulate filter in an exhaust passage. Abnormality is diagnosed if, a predetermined time after regenerating the sensor, the sensor output is above a determined value. The sensor output may be falsely high if extraneous foreign matter such as moisture or urea is deposited in the sensor. In order to prevent incorrect diagnosis of a filter abnormality in this situation, the change rate of the PM sensor output is monitored, and diagnosis is not performed if the rate of change is above a reference value Lc at any time before the predetermined time. Because the normal rate of change of sensor output increases with increasing PM deposition, the reference value Lc increases when the deposition amount is expected to be larger.

Title: Moveable internal shock-absorbing energy dissipation padding in an autonomous vehicle
Inventor: GIL THIEBERGER
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2016-10-26
Abstract: An autonomous on-road vehicle is provided with shock-absorbing energy dissipation padding (SAEDP) for absorbing the impact energy of an occupants head. The vehicle includes a side window 170 located at eye level of an occupant who sits in the vehicle. The side window enables the occupant to see the outside environment. A motor is configured to move the SAEDP 171 over a sliding mechanism between first and second states. A processor is configured to command the motor to move the SAEDP from the first state to the second state responsive to an indication that a probability of an imminent collision reaches a threshold. In the first state (figure 24a), the SAEDP does not block the occupants eye level view to the outside environment, whereas in the second state, the SAEDP blocks the view to the outside in order to protect the occupants head against hitting the side window during collision. A camera 178a and display 178b may be provided for showing the outside view when the SAEDP is in the second state. Numerous other details of autonomous vehicles and camera systems are disclosed.
