Patent GB-2481851-A (GB)
Title: Object location
Inventor: WEYN MAARTEN
IPC: G01S5/02
Filed: 2010-07-09
Abstract: An object is located using a map of characteristics of signals transmitted between the object and fixed points. The characteristics are measured and compared with the map data. However, signal characteristics may change with time. In order to update the map, a â  location profileâ   of common locations of the object is built up. If a subsequently measured location does not correspond to the profile, the system determines if the object is in an unusual position or if propagation characteristics have changed; if propagation has changed, the map is updated. The object may transmit to the fixed points or receive signals from them. Characteristics may be signal strength (amplitude, magnitude, RSS, intensity), angle, time of arrival (TOA), time difference (TDOA / DTOA) etc. Signals may be radio, light or acoustic. The object may be a laptop computer or PDA.

Title: Compression of a resilient unit such as a mattress
Inventor: CLARE DAVID
IPC: B65B63/02
Filed: 2012-08-10
Abstract: A resilient unit is fed as a continuous web 18 through first and second tensioning rollers 20, 22 to a winding roller 24. The winding roller 24 is driven at a first speed, and one or both of the tensioning rollers 20,22 is driven at a second speed which is less than the first speed. The difference in speeds causes tension to be applied to the resilient unit 18 which stretches the resilient unit 18 and in turn causes a reduction in thickness. The method is particularly suitable for pocket-sprung units such as mattresses, where the tension compresses the resilient elements in their pockets.

Title: Position and orientation estimation method and apparatus therefor
Inventor: MIYATANI SONOKO
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2011-01-12
Abstract: There is provided a method for accurately estimating a position and orientation of an object even if the object is more dispersive in shape than a three-dimensional geometric model with a standard shape. The statistic of deviation of a feature constituting a three-dimensional model representing a three-dimensional standard shape of an object is estimated to determine a reliability for each feature. The amount of deviation is calculated between the feature extracted from observation data obtained by an imaging apparatus and the feature in the three-dimensional model. The three-dimensional position and orientation of the object is estimated based on the amount of deviation and the reliability related to each feature extracted from the three-dimensional model.
