Title: Fluid pressure warning device particularly for a central heating system
Inventor: POWELL SCOTT
IPC: F24D19/10
Filed: 2012-12-04
Abstract: An indicator device 10 comprises a resilient element, e.g. diaphragm 3, that is deformable in response to a fluid pressure, and an indicator to provide a visible or audible warning in response to a threshold deformation of the resilient element. Ideally, the device is arranged to detect water pressure of a central heating system and warn users when the water pressure is too high or too low. The diaphragm may be housed in a body 2 of the device via a retaining element 4 and be disposed so as to have ambient pressure on a dry side of the diaphragm. A micro-switch 6 may be used to detect movement of the diaphragm when the water pressure is above/below a predetermined threshold, which in turn sends a signal to a PCB 5 to activate a pressure alarm, such as LEDs 11 inside a cap 12 of the device. Alternatively, the diaphragm may be acted upon by water pressure, or lack thereof, to push an indicator portion out of a housing of the device to indicate over pressure or low pressure. The device may be battery 9 powered and include a threaded connector, push-fit connector or self-cutting fitting (30, figure 4).

Title: Detecting narcotics using tomographic X-ray images
Inventor: MORTON EDWARD JAMES
IPC: G01V5/00
Filed: 2010-05-26
Abstract: A processor analyses a tomographic X-ray image to determine contiguous volumes of low density material (e.g. in the range 1 3 g/cm3) in sheet or bulk shapes, to determine statistical properties of the contiguous volumes (e.g. mean value, standard deviation, skew), to search for collections of randomly oriented small parts (which might be tablets in a jar or bag) or to search for a structured arrangement of parts (which might be tablets in pop-out packaging). This data is used to identify narcotics by mapping against a database. An X-ray scanning system with a non-rotating X-ray scanner is used to generate the tomographic X-ray image of the scanned object. Also disclosed are methods of detecting knives, firearms, nuclear materials, tobacco, currency and liquids, systems for sorting scanned items into categories (e.g. threat, or clear).
Patent GB-2516623-A (GB)
Title: Pressure relief system
Inventor: WHEATON SIMON
IPC: F16K17/04
Filed: 2013-07-09
Abstract: A pressure relief system for a beverage container comprises an insertion member 4, a collar 6 adapted to form a sealing fit within an opening of the beverage container such as a keg. The collar has an inner tapered contact surface 8 and a seal 10 in engagement between the insertion member and the inner tapered contact surface. A spring 14 biases the insertion member into sealing engagement with the collar. When a pre-determined pressure is reached within the beverage container, the pressure acting on the insertion member compresses the spring so that movement of the insertion member causes the seal to move outwardly of the container along the inner tapered contact surface to a point at which the insertion member is forced out of sealing engagement with the collar to relieve the pressure. After the pressure has been released, the spring may bias the insertion member back into sealing engagement with the collar. The movement of the insertion member may force the seal to move inwardly of the container along the tapered contact surface so that the seal is re-engaged between the member and the contact surface.

Title: Masking for compress and rotate instructions in vector processors
Inventor: ULIEL TAL
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2013-10-14
Abstract: Vector instruction 1401 comprises vector source1420 and destination 1440, destination offset 1430, and mask 1410. Data fields in the mask correspond to locations in the vector. An execution unit copies unmasked vector elements from source operand 1420 to adjacent sequential element locations in the vector destination (e.g. 4 to 7), starting at the offset location. Mask values track progress and/or completion of vector compress and rotate instructions in a processor. Upon copying an unmasked vector source to destination, the corresponding field in the mask is changed to masked. An instruction can be re-executed after the destination, which has become full, is stored to a memory by using the modified mask and an offset of zero. This compresses only the elements that still need execution. Uses include SIMD vector compress and rotate instructions for benchmark applications, e.g. the inner loop of 444.NAMD of the SPEC suite, otherwise not easily vectorised.
