Title: Power Distribution and Conversion in Aircraft
Inventor: SHIPLEY ADRIAN
IPC: G05F1/62
Filed: 2011-08-30
Abstract: An integrated switching power converter (ISPC) 180 for use in aviation to provide reliable voltage regulation and conversion and to reduce the amount of low voltage cabling in an aircraft power distribution system. In an aircraft, at least one ISPC 180 is connected to a generator 120 by a first high voltage wiring harness 150 and provides power to a set of local electrical loads 170 through a second low voltage wiring harness 160. Each ISPC 180 comprises solid state power control circuitry (SSPC) for voltage regulation and voltage conversion circuitry, which may be in the form of a switching converter. The SSPC further monitors the output voltage provided to the loads 170 and disables the ISPC 180 at the conversion stage if an excess current is detected for a predetermined length of time. The ISPCs 180 allow conversion and regulation of high voltage power close to the electrical loads in an aircraft and so allow both aircraft weight reduction through less low voltage cabling and easy modification of an aircraft power distribution system in response to changing load requirements.

Title: Underwater detection apparatus, underwater detection method and underwater detection program
Inventor: WANG YONG
IPC: G01S15/96
Filed: 2015-04-22
Abstract: This is for an underwater detector that can detect, amongst other things, fish or schools of fish. It is designed to compensate for the swaying, rocking, rolling or heaving of a boat or vessel on the water. The boat 90 has a transmitting and receiving device 100 attached to it. The transmission-reception surface of this device is divided so that it forms a plurality of channels that emit ultrasound signals simultaneously. It also has an attitude detection unit that can detect the attitude of the boat at the instant when it receives the echo signal. It then uses an echo signal analysis unit to analyse the signal and uses that to determine what objects, if any have been detected. The echo signal analysis unit uses a relative coordinate system and converts that to an absolute static coordinate system relative to the earth by using a coefficient that was obtained based on the attitude.

Title: Power control system with integrity of router-server communications
Inventor: PIOTR COFTA
IPC: G06Q50/06
Filed: 2017-09-01
Abstract: A power control system comprises routers 13-15 connected to power assets 10-12, with each router having a metrology port for measuring its asset’s physical parameters. A server 25, 28, 29 is connected to the routers over a network and issues commands or requests to the assets via the routers. A secure communications module at the server applies a unique identifier to the command sent by the server. Each router also has a secure communications module which applies the same unique identifier to metrology reports sent from the router which correspond to the command or request from the server. Each response to a command or request from the server is therefore identifiable as both the command and metrology reports share the same unique identifier, allowing the metrology report to be linked to the original command in a cause and effect manner. The system may be used to provide a record that measurements are the result of a command from the server, thus allowing the owner of a power asset to claim compensation from a server operator when the server overrides control of the power asset.
