Title: An emergency position transmitter and operating Method thereof
Inventor: BYEONGDO CHOI
IPC: G08C21/00
Filed: 2016-08-01
Abstract: An emergency position transmitter comprises: a power supply unit 10, an input unit 20 having an SOS setting, a sensor unit 30 including a moisture or salinity sensor 31, an RF communication unit 50, a GPS receiving unit 40, a satellite transmitting unit 60, a memory unit 70 and a control unit 90. The control unit is maintained in a standby mode when the power is on and wakes up the GPS receiving unit at a predetermined standby interval. The received GPS positional data is stored in the memory unit. The control unit is switched to an SOS mode when the input unit is either input with an SOS or receives a signal from the sensing unit. An emergency signal that includes the positional data is generated. The RF communication and satellite transmitting units are actuated and transmit the emergency signal, with the satellite transmission interval being longer than the RF transmission interval. In SOS mode, the GPS receiving unit is awakened at an interval shorter than the standby interval. The control unit is switched to a power saving mode when the the sensor signal is sustained and the GPS signal strength is equal to or less than a set value. The RF communication unit and the satellite transmitting unit are turned off and the sensor and the GPS receiving unit wakes up at an interval longer than the SOS mode interval.

Title: Image processing
Inventor: IIya Romanenko
IPC: G06K9/62
Filed: 2016-09-27
Abstract: A method comprising: a first classifier receiving image data, which may include feature vector data, and indicating to a second classifier that an object appears in the image 100; a second classifier determining whether an object does appear in the image data 102, 104; and transmitting the decision and image data to a third classifier in a remote system that checks the decision and provides feedback to the second classifier in order for it to update its training state from a first to a second state and thereby reducing the number of false positives 106, 108, 110. The second classifier may use a linear classification model such as: a support vector machine (SVM); two neuron classifier; or a Fisher discriminant. The training states of the second classifier may be partly based on false positive data and the update information may relate to false positives identified by the remote system. If the amount of training data received by the second classifier exceeds a limit a set of false positive data may be removed and a new set stored. The data may be assessed for confidence or tracking purposes before the second classifier is used or before data is sent to the third classifier, which may be a deep neural network. The system may be used to classify faces or other characteristics of humans.

Title: A method for use in a vehicle
Inventor: FELICITY HARER
IPC: G08G1/017
Filed: 2017-08-11
Abstract: A method for determining if a vehicle (10 fig.2) is being followed by a second vehicle (20a, 20b, 20c fig.2) includes capturing image data, from the first vehicle, of surrounding vehicles over a time period 42. The images are analysed to identify one or more vehicles in the images 46, possibly through the use of ANPR or ALPR, and it is determined whether a second vehicle is following the first vehicle depending on the second vehicle appearing more than once amongst the one or more identified vehicles 140 and if so an alert may be issued to an occupant of the first vehicle. A threshold for determining the number of times that a vehicle needs to recur in the images for it to be determined that the vehicle is being followed may be varied depending on the type of road and traffic levels being driven. The method is useful in counter surveillance and may be used to determine if a convoy is intact. The first vehicle may exchange data with a remote server, infrastructure (V2I) or with a third vehicle (V2V).

Title: Semblance-based anisotropy parameter estimation using isotropic depth-migrated common image gathers
Inventor: FAN XIA
IPC: G01V1/50
Filed: 2016-01-15
Abstract: Methods and systems are presented in this disclosure for semblance-based anisotropy parameter estimation using isotropic depth-migrated common image gathers. Far-offset image gathers can be generated from seismic data associated with a subterranean formation migrated based on an isotropic depth migration that uses an isotropic velocity model. Based on the far-offset image gathers, a plurality of semblance values can be calculated as a function of an anisotropy parameter of the subterranean formation for the different depths and the surface locations. Effective values of the anisotropy parameter of the subterranean formation can be then chosen that result in maxima of the plurality of semblance values for the different depths and the surface locations. Anisotropy model of the subterranean formation can be obtained based on the effective values of the anisotropy parameter.

Title: Electricity generation method and device using combustion of fossil fuels and having zero-carbon emission
Inventor: SIGAN PENG
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2016-04-19
Abstract: A electricity generation method and device using combustion of fossil fuels and having zero-carbon emission provide a complete technical solution of carbon capture and storage (CCS): electricity is generated by carrying out oxygen-enriched combustion of coal and other fossil fuels in an electricity plant at a carbon dioxide sequestration location, and the produced carbon dioxide is introduced, in an onsite manner, into a saline aquifer at the carbon dioxide sequestration location, and the generated electricity is outputted outside. By means of the method, the whole transportation process comprising loading, long-distance transportation and unloading of coal is omitted, so that the difficulty and cost for implementing the complete CCS technical solution are greatly reduced, the feasibility of the CCS technical solution is improved, the implementation of the large-scale carbon capture and storage during electricity generation based on combustion of coal and other fossil fuels is facilitated, electricity is generated by means of combustion of the fossil fuels while zero-carbon emission is achieved, a technical path is added for breaking through difficulties in CCS, so as to finally implement large-scale comprehensive utilization of a great quantity of coal, oil, gas and other fossil fuels and a large quantity of saline aquifer geological resources.
