Title: LED module and method for preparing same
Inventor: TACKYOUNG YOO
IPC: H05B33/12
Filed: 2017-08-01
Abstract: A method for preparing an LED module is disclosed. The method for preparing an LED module comprises: a chip-on-carrier preparing step for preparing a chip on carrier comprising a chip holding portion, which has a horizontal adhesion side, and a plurality of LED chips having electrode pads adhered to the adhesion side of the chip holding portion; and a transfer printing step for conveying the plurality of LED chips from the chip holding portion to a substrate, which is in another location, in a fixed array. The transfer printing step comprises: a primary stepping step for regionally exposing transfer tape to a light, which is for reducing the adhesion of the transfer tape, and thus forming adhesion regions at a fixed interval on the transfer tape; and a chip-picking-up step for pressing the transfer tape to the LED chips on the chip holding portion and thus adhering the LED chips to the adhesion regions of the transfer tape, respectively, and also separating the electrode pads of the LED chips from the chip holding portion.

Title: Method of verifying a flowmeter and device for the implementation thereof
Inventor: MIHAIL SAMUILOVICH GUREVICH
IPC: G01F25/00
Filed: 2017-09-20
Abstract: The invention relates to inspection and measuring technology for use in the calibration, verification and routine monitoring of the metrological characteristics of volume flow and mass flow meters and calibration rigs, primarily for petroleum and petroleum products. The special feature of the present method for monitoring the metrological characteristics of a flowmeter using a bidirectional prover is that the portion of the prover situated at the end of the path of travel of a ball and acting as an accelerator during the oncoming movement of the ball is used on said path as an addition to the calibrated portion. The special feature of a bidirectional prover for implementing the present method is the installation of one or more detectors in a closed cross-section of the portion of the prover situated at the end of the travel path. The technical result is an increase in the accuracy and reliability of the measuring results, a reduction in the dimensions, mass and material intensity of the structure, a decrease in the duration of verification operations, and the mobility of the structure.

Title: Apparatus, methods and computer programs for enabling rendering of spatial audio signals
Inventor: MIKKO-VILLE ILARI LAITINEN
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2020-04-20
Abstract: One or more audio signals 201, together with spatial metadata 203, are obtained. The signals are altered by an audio effect 205, and audio effect information 207 is obtained that relates to how the audio signals are affected by the audio effect. The audio effect information and the spatial metadata are then used to enable spatial rendering 209 of the altered audio signals. The audio effect may alter, or depend on, the frequency spectrum or temporal characteristics. The spatial rendering of the altered audio signals may use modified spatial metadata based on the audio effect information, and using the audio effect information may adjust frequency bands or the sizes of time frames. Spatial characteristics, such as binaural characteristics, may be compensated for before applying the audio effect. Covariance matrix characteristics may be analysed, and the spatial rendering adjusted so as to match a target covariance matrix.

Title: Control method and apparatus for collection device
Inventor: MAOJIE SUN
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2020-01-08
Abstract: A network of sensors 1-15 covers a number of regions 1-4. The detectors or collections devices 1-15 collect environmental data in their respective regions 1-4. A monitoring device receives the data collected by the detectors 1-15. The monitoring device determines regional environmental conditions based on the environmental data collected by the detectors for that region. The monitoring device determines environmental data change rates based on a comparison of data from historical and current periods. If a data change rate is determined to be above a threshold value for one region 1-4, then sensors 1-15 from another region 1-4 are moved to that region 1-4, so long as the data change rate for that other region is below the threshold. The sensor or collection device may be provided with a drive mechanism to move the sensor or collection device to the other region. An alert may also be generated.

Title: A method for a mapless estimation of a road topology for an assistance system of a motor vehicle, as well as an assistance system
Inventor: GUNTHER KREHL
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2020-08-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method configured to support a mapless autonomous driving by proposing a road map learning approach. In a first step, the model 20 is trained offline based on the existing map data 22 coming from, for example, fleet recordings and from the simulation data 24. Sensors (e.g. a camera, a lidar sensor, a radar sensor or a stereo camera) are used to generate snapshots of the road structure, which allows the motor vehicle to learn the road as it drives, in its current state, accounting for the most up to date road obstructions, environmental conditions and road structure without relying on thousands of pre-built maps to function. The training of the model may comprise in a first stage 32 a feature extraction, in a second stage 34 a graph node generation and in a third stage 36 a road topology prediction. A drivable space of the motor vehicle 10 may be taken into account by the model.

Inventor: EDWARD ALEXANDER GARDYNE
IPC: F24F8/30
Filed: 2021-07-08
Abstract: Apparatus 131 for entraining fluid exhalant to allow filtering or sterilisation of pathogens therein. The apparatus has a fluid path controller 133 with a profiled surface postionable in the path of a fluid 145, 147 such that the fluid, when incident on a convex surface 149 of the fluid path controller, follows a modified fluid path from a first end to a second end of the convex surface, preferably using the Coanda effect. A fluid collector 143 is positioned at the second end of the convex surface which collects the fluid and pathogens contained therein. First and second, symmetrical profiled surfaces may entrain fluid from different directions. A projection 137 at or near the first end of the convex surface may create a pressure reduction between the ends. The fluid collector may comprise a filter, or the fluid may be sterilised using ionisation, an electrical charge or an antimicrobial agent such as trioxidane, hydrogen peroxide or ozone to neutralise the pathogens. Suction means 139 may be used to draw fluid along the convex surface and into the fluid collector.
