Title: Improvements relating to drive units for trailers
Inventor: JONATHAN M HARRISON
IPC: B62D59/02
Filed: 2018-02-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a drive unit in the form of a caravan mover 10 comprising a motor 12 (drive means) and a head 14 which are linked together by a gear mechanism 16. The head 14 provides a roller 15 which is rotatably mounted on a shaft. The roller 15 is arranged, in use, to be urged or pressed against the tread portion (surface) of a tyre. The drive unit is controlled by a control unit (ECU) which controls the movement of the driven roller 15 between the disengaged position and the engaged position and also controls the rotation (and direction) of the driven roller 15. The caravan mover 10 of the present invention includes an integral power supply such that the unit comprises a single integral system which is easily installed on the caravan and does not require the routing of cables from a remote power supply. The battery 30 comprises securement means in order to quickly and easily secure the battery 30 to the drive unit housing and, in particular, to the housing 20 of the motor 12. The securement of the battery 30 to the motor 16 also automatically and simultaneously aligns and connects terminals of the battery 30 to power receiving terminals of the motor 16. Such a quick and simply securement mechanism provides a battery 30 can be quickly and easily removed, for example, in order to be charged. Accordingly, the drive unit/caravan mover 10 (including the motor, roller, battery, control unit and mounting means) forms a single self-supporting component which is solely secured to the caravan/trailer at a single location by the mounting means.

Title: Skinprint analysis method and apparatus
Inventor: PAUL WILSON
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2018-05-21
Abstract: A non-destructive method of analysing a quantity of a skin print, such as a fingerprint, on a reflective substrate 9 comprises using an electromagnetic detector 300 to obtain an optical image of the print and outputting a value for skin print quantity, which is a function of image density of the optical image. A region of interest may be identified within the image corresponding with the deposited print. This region of interest may be processed to distinguish print image data from substrate image data, after which image density may be determined from the print image data. The EM emitter 200 and the detector may be respectively positioned at angles α,β from the normal of the substrate, and the optical image may be derived from EM radiation received at the detector after being reflected off the print and substrate. The skin print quantity may comprise skin print volume. The emitter may be a camera or a white light source comprising a diffuser assembly 250. A chemical analysis of the print may be performed and subsequently stored or transmitted along with a value of print quantity. Image analysis features may guide the interpretation of the chemical analysis results. The optical image may be compared to stored images to confirm donor identity.

Title: Method and device to determine acoustic gas particle velocity
Inventor: EUGENE NIJMAN
IPC: G01P5/08
Filed: 2018-08-30
Abstract: Plasma generator 1 generates plasma 2 in a measurement volume. Coils or permanent magnets generate magnetic field 5 in the measurement volume. The plasma is exposed to sound wave 3 in a gas, causing time-dependent deviation in the plasma which induces a voltage which is determined using electrodes 6a, 6b and voltage measurement unit 7. From this voltage, a gas particle velocity calculation unit calculates particle velocity over time. If the size of the measurement volume is not much smaller than the acoustic wavelength, a compensation to the velocity is calculated.

Title: Method of torque and acceleration monitoring in a vehicle
Inventor: FLORIAN BAUCHE
IPC: F02D41/22
Filed: 2019-02-04
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of monitoring a vehicle, the vehicle including an internal combustion engine. The method comprises monitoring the acceleration of the vehicle and determining if there is excessive acceleration or not; monitoring the torque developed by the engine and determining if there is excessive torque or not; flagging or not flagging a fault condition dependent on the results. The method provides a means to rapidly and accurately determine an engine fault where acceleration deviates from the intended acceleration. In some instances if the acceleration is higher than anticipated then this could be due to the vehicle accelerating downhill and the excess toque measurement is used to eliminate this possibility. In other instances the excess torque determination can provide quicker means of detecting a fault than waiting for a measurement of the rate of vehicle acceleration. Also disclosed is a system for detecting a fault in a vehicle. The combination of the two methods of fault detection in a single system provide a more robust arrangement than either system used independently.
