Title: Fasteners
Inventor: PETER MAXWELL ROBSON
IPC: F16B5/07
Filed: 2017-03-07
Abstract: A fastener 11 comprises opposed profiled strips 12 of elastically flexible material. Each strip 12 has in cross section a hook formation 13 rooted in it and having a free edge facing backwards towards the strip 12, and a retainer formation 14 also rooted in the strip and having a ledge 14a facing back towards the strip 12. The free edge of the hook formation 13 of the other strip 12 can engage the ledge 14a when the strips 12 are opposed and urged together. The material of the strips 12 is so elastically flexible it will allow the hook formations 13 and/or the retainer formations 14 to flex when the strips 12 are urged together so that the free edge of each hook formation 13 rides over and snaps into contact with the ledge 14a of the retainer formation 14 of the other strip 12, engaging the strips 12 together against separation by a force tending to pull them apart.

Title: An apparatus and method for aligning corresponding elements in multiple streams of elements
Inventor: Alasdair grant
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2018-01-30
Abstract: Two data sources generate streams of data elements, such as trace packets. Whenever an element is placed in the second stream, a corresponding element is placed in the first stream to identify the element in the second stream. A key value is put in each element in the first stream. The number of distinct key values is not sufficient to identify each element in the stream. An identifier is placed in the elements of the second stream, from which the key value in the corresponding element in the first stream can be identified. The identifier may be a counter from which the key value may be generated using a hash function. Alternatively, the identifier may be the key itself. The key may be generated using a pseudo-random number generator, such as a linear feedback shift register. A global time stamp may be added to both streams to approximately align them.

Title: Virtual reality parallax correction
Inventor: Stephen Joseph Diverdi
IPC: H04N13/366
Filed: 2018-08-10
Abstract: Correcting parallax in virtual reality (VR) systems when perspective or viewpoint changes, comprising: generating an original mesh from VR content based on pixels and their associated 3D coordinates; detecting a viewpoint change; generating a new perspective mesh based on the original mesh and viewpoint change; generating a corrected parallax mesh that corrects an artefact in the perspective mesh; rendering the VR content using the parallax mesh. VR content may comprise panoramic stereoscopic video or images, displayed by glasses, goggles, phones or tablets. Viewpoint changes may result from movement, eg. horizontal or vertical translation, from origin point. Artefacts resulting from incorrect parallax simulation include jagged edges, connecting disconnected objects. Parallax correction may involve depth filtering. Boundary identification may detect depth discontinuities using machine learning in neural networks and the perspective mesh may be cut at boundary edges. Smear detection may comprise examining triangles of the perspective mesh to analyse triangle edge length or area or surface normal vectors. Confidence values may be estimated and associated with depth map pixels. Error diffusion may estimate a range or distribution of pixel depths with disparities that have a sum of squared differences below a threshold. Per-pixel Gaussian blur filter may be applied to artefacts.

Title: Surge protection in a multi-stage vacuum pump
Inventor: NEIL TURNER
IPC: F04D27/02
Filed: 2020-02-06
Abstract: A surge protection device 353 for a multistage vacuum pump, the device comprising an inlet 305 and an outlet 395 for passing working fluid, and at least one chamber 360 having an opening 365 directed towards the inlet, each chamber arranged to recirculate 368 a portion of the working fluid back towards the inlet, thus providing resistance to the incoming flow of fluid. The chamber provides higher resistance at higher pressure, with the resistance becoming progressively lower with reducing fluid pressures. The backflow of working fluid slows the incoming working fluid, and limits rate at which fluid enters the pump, thus preventing an excess of pressure between pump stages and extending component lifetimes. The chamber may contain an element 370 to separate the chamber into an inlet and outlet section. The device may be incorporated with a combination vacuum pump comprising a mechanical booster and a backing pump fed by said booster.
