Title: Improved performance fluid level sensor
Inventor: MELVIN PAUL CLARKSON
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 2018-01-19
Abstract: A fluid level sensor is disclosed comprising an electrically conductive enclosure 4 and a central looped conducting wire 3 coated in electrical insulation. Fluid enters the open bottom of the conductive enclosure 4 and the level sensor measures the change in average permittivity caused by differing relative amounts of fluid and air inside the enclosure. The looped wire coated in electrical insulation creates an electric dipole which causes an area of zero electric field between the wires, as shown in fig. 3. Charged vapour droplets circulating in the void above the fluid level are attracted to the central electrode wire 3, but do not have an attracting force in the area between the wires. Charged vapour droplets in this area therefore fall down due to gravity, accumulating other vapour droplets as they travel downwards. The final effect is to clear the central electrode of any vapour droplets and maintain the sensor accuracy. The wire is preferably twisted. The sensor further comprises tensioner 5 to tension looped conducting wire 3; an electronic circuit board 2; electrical interface cable 6; electrical insulating material seal 1 and vent 8. Electronic circuit board 2 may be encapsulated in insulating material 7.

Title: Systems and methods for remotely verifying user identities
Inventor: Shahid Hanif
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2018-08-21
Abstract: The methods and system described relate to the verification of the identities of remote persons who could be attempting an online transaction. The systems and methods employ: a verifying server 150 which obtains identity particulars (e.g. a name or date-of-birth) of a remote user via a user-client interface 120 in response to a request received from a requesting server 110; an image data capture interface 130 which captures information in the form of the user’s facial features and their identity document, and sends the information to the verifying server through a network 210. The information could be captured as images or a video stream. Furthermore, the verifying server performs a correlation between the identity particulars provided by the requesting server 110 and the identity particulars extracted from the identity documents. The verifying server also performs a correlation between the captured facial feature information and equivalent information derived from the identity document. Thus a verification result is generated.
