Title: Method for deriving a temporal predictive motion vector, and apparatus using the method
Inventor: BAE KEUN LEE
IPC: H04N19/61
Filed: 2012-09-06
Abstract: A method of decoding comprising obtaining a spatial prediction motion vector, obtaining a temporal motion prediction vector, generating a motion vector candidate list, and performing inter prediction based on the candidate list. The spatial prediction motion vector is obtained using a motion vector of a neighbouring spatial block adjacent the current block. The temporal motion prediction vector is obtained using a motion vector of a collocated block. The collocated block is determined based on whether a boundary of the current block adjoins a boundary of a largest coding unit (LCU). A candidate list is then generated including the spatial prediction motion vector and the temporal prediction motion vector, and inter prediction is performed. One of a first and second block may be determined as the collocated block based on the boundary adjoins the boundary of the LCU and the first block is adjacent a bottom right position of the current block.

Title: Measuring gravity curvature for mapping subterranean formations
Inventor: SATYAN GOPAL BHONGALE
IPC: G01V7/04
Filed: 2015-12-08
Abstract: Gravity surveys of subterranean formations may be based on the simultaneous measurement of gravity and its derivatives to produce a higher resolution formation map or wellbore log. For example, a method of performing a gravity survey may include positioning a matter wave interferometer relative to a subterranean formation; producing at least one cloud of atoms in the matter wave interferometer; producing a superposition of atoms in two different, spatially separated superimposed clouds from each of the at least one cloud of atoms; propagating the two different, spatially separated superimposed clouds along the matter wave interferometer as they with a gravitational field of the subterranean formation; combining the two different, spatially separated superimposed clouds with a Raman laser beam; measuring an interference produced by producing and combining the two different, spatially separated superimposed clouds; and calculating gravity for the gravitational field of the subterranean formation based on the interference.

Title: Subsea energy generation assembly utilising wave energy
Inventor: LEE KING
IPC: F03B17/02
Filed: 2019-02-14
Abstract: An energy generation system 100 for harnessing wave energy and potential energy stored in water under subsea hydrostatic pressure, comprises buoy 114, which may be a ship or barge disposed on a surface 102 of water 104, which may be a sea, ocean or lake. A pulley wheel, or the like 112 may be located on the buoy. Pressure vessel 116 is submerged in the water and has a body of pressurised air (Fig 2, 130) inside it. The vessel is operated, by lowering it to a pre-set depth allowing water to enter through an inlet 126 when hydrostatic pressure on the vessel exceeds the pressure of air in the vessel. Incoming water turns inlet turbine 132. Movement of the buoy due to wave action also alters the depth of the vessel. Water exits the vessel via outlet 128 as it rises and hydrostatic pressure drops. Air pressure in the vessel pushes water out. The winch 120 may be used to raise and lower the vessel and is also used to tension tether 122 acting to keep the pressure vessel and buoy in relative positions.

Title: Speed determination system
Inventor: GEORGE HOWELL
IPC: G01S19/49
Filed: 2019-10-09
Abstract: A speed determination system for an aircraft. A first speed measurement system calculates a first velocity of the aircraft based on global positioning system (GPS) data. A second speed measurement system calculates a second velocity based upon data which may be obtained from at least one of; inertial measurements acquired by an accelerometer or gyroscope, wheel speed acquired by tachometer or odometer; and/or, reflected energy measurements such as a LIDAR / SONAR measurement. If GPS speed measurements are determined to be unreliable or unavailable then the second speed measurement system is used to supplement the speed measurements. The second speed measurement system is adjusted / compensated for propagation errors calculated using a difference between the GPS and inertial speed / wheel speed measurements. Preferably, the second speed measurement is a wheel speed measurement when the aircraft velocity is greater than a 5 knot threshold, if below then inertial measurements are advantageous.

Title: An aircraft brake control system
Inventor: ALEXANDER HAYES
IPC: B64C25/42
Filed: 2021-03-08
Abstract: Aircraft brake control systems and methods for controlling antiskid braking of an aircraft wheel. One method includes calculating an antiskid braking command and applying a rise rate restriction to the antiskid braking command (e.g. restricting the increase rate of current) using a lower restriction level when a second brake energy supply (e.g. back-up or emergency energy supply, such as a hydraulic accumulator) is being used for braking than during use of a first energy supply (e.g. primary energy supply). Another method includes applying a specified minimum command level (e.g. minimum amount of current) to the antiskid brake command. Another method includes assessing if a wheel is in a “small skid” state (e.g. rather than a “deep skid” state) by applying a slip limit to the wheel, with a lower slip limit being used for the assessment when the second energy supply is being used. Each control system includes a control assembly 300, an antiskid brake calculator 325 and an output 330 for indicating the command to be sent to a brake valve (e.g. servo valve). Some claimed systems also include a mode controller 327 for setting a first mode or second mode based on which energy supply is being used.

Title: Adaptive artificial intelligence systems and methods for token verification
Inventor: ALLISON FENICHEL
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2021-03-17
Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive token verification use a trained verification model to verify tokenized requests based on system identifiers. The verification model is preferably a machine learning or neural network model. A tokenized request is received from an external system, the request including a system identifier of the external system, a payment request, and a tokenized payment number. The verification model generates an output based on the system identifier. Preferably, the output is based on a comparison between the system identifier and a known system identifier that is associated with the tokenized payment number or is stored in a verification database. Alternatively, the output may be based on a similarity between the system identifier and a category associated with the tokenized payment number. The request is granted or blocked based on the output. A verification prompt indicating whether the request was granted or blocked is transmitted to a client device. In response, verification data is received and used to update the verification model. Alternatively, the model is updated based on a verification challenge (or lack of).
