Title: Control module activation of vehicles in a key-off state
Inventor: Nunzio DeCia
IPC: G07C5/00
Filed: 2018-04-18
Abstract: A method for activating vehicle control modules comprises: determining a charge level of a battery of a vehicle at a location in a key-off state using a battery sensor; identifying a parking duration for the location by a processor; activating a control module responsive to the charge level being greater than a threshold associated with the parking duration, in particular an infotainment unit to present media, preferably when the vehicle transitions from an on-state to key-off state. Preferably, the vehicle location is a fuelling station. Cameras may be activated if the location is a parallel parking location. The HVAC unit of the vehicle may be actuated if the determined vehicle location is a post office. The location of the vehicle and the charge level of the battery may be transmitted to a remote processor prior to the vehicle being in the key-off state, with the remote processor controlling activation of the infotainment system, cameras and HVAC unit. The remote processor may determine a current battery charge level based on the charge level when parked and the parking duration. The invention allows the infotainment system and HVAC unit to remain or switch on under certain parking and battery charge conditions.

Title: System and method for mitigating electronic interference
Inventor: ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER LEYH
IPC: H04K3/00
Filed: 2018-07-03
Abstract: The invention concerns a base station comprising a main base station receiver with a main base station antenna 202 and a secondary receiver with a secondary antenna 212. The secondary receiver detects interference or jamming to the main base station antenna 202. Such interference / jamming results in a reduced communications range for communicating with subscriber units 204 (compare 210 and 220). The secondary receiver performs null steering 230 of the secondary antenna 212 such that a null is directed towards the source 208 of interference / jamming. The secondary antenna may be an antenna array which is electronically steered, or the secondary antenna may be a notch antenna which is physically rotated. A selection is made 250 between the secondary receiver (with rotated null) and the main receiver (with reduced communications range) so as to mitigate the interference. A first subscriber unit may be allocated to the main receiver whilst a second subscriber unit is allocated to the secondary receiver. Antenna allocation may be per received data burst packet. The applicant refers to the antenna selection as a voting decision.

Title: Digital assessment of chemical dip tests
Inventor: CAMERON HARDIE
IPC: G01N21/80
Filed: 2018-09-07
Abstract: A method of digital assessment of chemical dip tests comprises providing a dip tester 10 and a colour reference card 12. A photograph of the colour dip tester is taken with a camera of a mobile device along with the reference card in the same frame. A processor identifies an area of the photograph corresponding to the colour change pad 14 of the dip tester 10 and an area of reference colours 18 on the reference card and determines the closest of the reference colours to the colour of the colour change pad of the dip tester. On that basis a value of a characteristic to be tested is determined, for example, pH, or concentration of iron, copper, or inhibitor. The water may be central heating system water or cooling water.

Title: Capacity hysteresis measurement method
Inventor: FRANCISC SZASZ
IPC: G01R31/64
Filed: 2019-10-25
Abstract: A test capacitor, e.g. a multi-layer ceramic capacitor, is soldered to a board (step 1) and thermally treated (step 2) above the Curie temperature to reset the dielectric. A direct current (DC) bias voltage and an alternating current (AC) measuring signal are applied to the capacitor. Capacitance measurements are made with a rising DC bias voltage (step 4). The DC bias is increased to twice the rated voltage value of the capacitor and held at this value for a predetermined length of time (step 5). After this, the DC bias is lowered back to the capacitor’s rated value and capacity measurements are made with falling direct bias as the DC bias is lowered to zero (step 6). Plotting the capacitance measurements with rising and falling DC voltage on the same graph shows hysteresis (step 7). Finally, it is verified that the capacitor dielectric was not damaged during the test (step 8).

Title: Image shadow detection using multiple images
Inventor: PRASENJIT MONDAL
IPC: G06T7/254
Filed: 2019-11-21
Abstract: First and second images 128 and 130 of an object 118 are captured by a camera while a user holds the camera positioned relative to the object. Intensity variations between a first intensity map 132 of the first image and at least one of a second intensity map 134 of the second image and a combination intensity map 144 obtained from the first intensity map and a second intensity map are compared. A shadow 128 may be identified within the first image based on the intensity variations. The intensity maps may be divided into image blocks to give portion intensity maps corresponding to local mean intensity. Portions with variation greater than 2% may represent a shadow edge. The images may be obtained during a framing period that follows activation of a viewing frame, during which the camera is positioned prior to initiation of image capture. The shadow detection may be performed using multiple image frames of a document captured by a mobile device camera, where the shadow detection relies on small movements of the user’s hand, giving differences at the edges of the shadows.
