Abstract: A hydraulic system 300 suitable for an aircraft has a backup hydraulic pressure source 216, to provide hydraulic pressure to a brake 222; and to a landing gear backup system, providing hydraulic pressure for extension and/or retraction of landing gear 100. The backup hydraulic pressure source provides pressure in response to the detection of a failure condition of primary hydraulic pressure sources 202, such as a reduction in the hydraulic pressure beyond a specified threshold. The backup hydraulic pressure source may be an accumulator 216, receiving a supply of pressurised hydraulic fluid from a primary pressure source 202 powered by the aircraft. A controller 304 may detect the failure condition and transmit an activation signal to a valve 302, directing hydraulic fluid from the backup pressure source 2016 to the landing gear backup system. The backup hydraulic pressure source may provide pressure to deactivate a landing gear lock 304, holding the landing gear in a retracted state; and a landing gear door lock 306, holding a landing gear door in a closed state.

Title: Systems and methods for growth of intestinal cells in microfluidic devices
Inventor: JORDAN KERNS
IPC: C12N5/0797
Filed: 2017-02-01
Abstract: Organs-on-chips are microfluidic devices for culturing living cells in micrometer sized chambers in order to model physiological functions of tissues and organs. Engineered patterning and continuous fluid flow in these devices has allowed culturing of intestinal cells bearing physiologically relevant features and sustained exposure to bacteria while maintaining cellular viability, thereby allowing study of inflammatory bowl diseases. However, existing intestinal cells do not possess all physiologically relevant subtypes, do not possess the repertoire of genetic variations, or allow for study of other important cellular actors such as immune cells. Use of iPSC-derived epithelium, including IBD patient-specific cells, allows for superior disease modeling by capturing the multi-faceted nature of the disease.

Title: Neural network for processing sensor data
Inventor: ANDRZEJ STANISLAW KUCIK
IPC: G06N3/063
Filed: 2019-05-08
Abstract: Neural network engine 101 is coupled to input 103 to receive event-based output sensor data from sensor elements 102a-c. Received output-sensor-data indicate a change detected by a first element 102a and are generated independent of output sensor data of second sensor elements 102b-c. Neural network engine 101 generates analysis data 104 from the output-sensor-data of the first element. Neuromorphic engine 101 processes events instantaneously in a localised, asynchronous, and parallel manner in contrast to conventional artificial neural networks. Nodes of engine 101 store state data maintained after transmitting node output and updated through the difference between current and last received output-sensor-data, thus instantaneously processing change-events without having to wait for data from all input connections. Parameters of a neural network trained on tensors can be transferred to event-based neural engine 101 without modification. Event‑based neural-networks provide fast‑response and accurate sensor data processing for Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS) or silicon cochlear.
