Patent GB-2598374-A (GB)
Title: Electrical vehicle circuitry
Inventor: TUNG FAI YU
IPC: B60L50/60
Filed: 2020-08-28
Abstract: An electrical power circuit provides a pre-charge current to a traction bus of a vehicle (e.g. EV, HEV) and includes: a terminal for electrical connection to a traction battery 20; a DC-DC converter 22 coupled to the terminal; and a high voltage (HV) traction bus 27 for providing electrical power to one or more traction motors 28. The converter receives a first voltage (e.g. from a traction battery or an onboard charger (OBC)) and provides a second voltage to a high voltage auxiliary power bus. The converter is coupled to the traction bus via the auxiliary power bus. In response to an indication that power is to be applied to the traction bus, the converter provides the second voltage to the auxiliary power bus to provide a pre-charge current to the traction bus. The voltage on the traction bus is balanced before the traction bus is connected to the battery. A first switch 21 may connect the terminal and the traction bus in dependence on a parameter associated with the traction bus, e.g. when the voltage of the traction bus exceeds a threshold voltage. A battery control circuit may selectively interconnect first and second plurality of cells of the battery: in series, to provide a first battery voltage at a battery output; or in parallel, to provide a second battery voltage at the battery output. The second battery voltage may be provided by connecting the first plurality of cells to, and isolating the second plurality of cells from, the battery output.

Title: Storage containers
Inventor: PATRICK CAMPBELL HUNT
IPC: B65D81/24
Filed: 2020-11-05
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a storage container 1 comprising a closure 2 which fits inside a container and is slidable up/ down inside the container with its periphery in contact against the wall, defining a range of volumes of a storage space. The closure periphery 24 includes a groove directed outwardly towards the container wall and having upper 286 and lower limit 287 formations. A seal ring 22 in the groove is movable relative to the closure periphery within the groove, whilst engaging outwardly against the inner surface of the wall. The closure periphery incorporates at least one airflow channel 5 communicating between said groove and a face of the closure outside the groove, wherein the airflow channel is open for air flow when the seal ring is against one of said limit formations, and is (possibly partially) closed by the seal ring against air flow when it’s spaced away from one of said lower formations. The valves allow ready removal/ insertion of the closure. This container provides a substantially airtight storage-space and the variable capacity reduces the airspace above the contents, making it useful for storing and keeping foodstuffs fresh, particularly: grains, powders, beans or coffee.

Title: Brain-chip modeling neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease
Inventor: Iosif Pediaditakis
IPC: C12N5/00
Filed: 2020-10-19
Abstract: The invention relates to modeling brain neuronal disease in a microfluidic device, comprising a co-culture of iPS-derived brain endothelial cells; iPS-derived dopaminergic neurons; primary microglia; and primary astrocytes, a Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB)-Chip and a Brain-Chip. In particular, cross-talk between glial cells (e.g. microglia and astrocytes) with neuronal cells, in further contact with endothelial cells is contemplated for use for identifying drug targets under conditions for inducing in vivo relevant neuronal inflammation, neurodegeneration and neuronal death. Thus, in one embodiment, a microfluidic Brain-Chip comprising a co-culture of brain cells is exposed to a-synuclein preformed fibrils (PFF), a type of pathogenic form of a-synuclein. Such a-synuclein PFF exposure demonstrates an in vivo relevant disease pathogenesis on a microfluidic device as a concentration- and time-controlled manner that may be used for preclinical drug evaluation for diseases related to neuronal inflammation, e.g. Parkinson's disease (PD).

Inventor: JOHN PAUL LESSO
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2021-01-26
Abstract: An audio system receives an audio signal from a digital microphone, which has an analog-digital converter with a controllable sampling rate. In response to a determination that a predetermined trigger phrase is not detected in the decimated audio signal, the sampling rate of the analog-digital converter in the digital microphone is controlled such that the audio signal has a first sample rate. In response to a determination that the predetermined trigger phrase is detected in the decimated signal, the sampling rate of the analog-digital converter in the digital microphone is controlled such that the audio signal has a second sample rate higher than the first sample rate, and the audio signal is applied to a spoof detection circuit, to determine whether the received signal contains live speech or replayed speech.
