Title: Method and apparatus for obtaining chemical and/or material specific information of a sample using light scattered by Rayleigh scattering and/or Raman
Inventor: SUMEET MAHAJAN
IPC: G02B21/36
Filed: 2020-03-17
Abstract: Two images of a sample 300 are obtained. Each image indicates the intensity of Rayleigh scattered light 203 i) for incident light 201 of a different wavelength, or ii) for incident light 201 of a different polarisation state, or iii) of scattered light 203 of a different polarisation state. Alternatively, each image indicates the intensity of Raman scattered light 203 i) of a different wavelength, or ii) for incident light 201 of a different polarisation state, or iii) for incident light 201 of a different polarisation state. Chemical and/or material specific information of the sample 300 is determined based on the change in intensity of the scattered light 203 in dependence on the change in wavelength and/or polarisation of the incident and/or scattered light. The determination step may involve a look-up table, direct calculation, classification via e.g. principal component analysis or a neural network. Light sheet microscopy may be used.

Title: Methods of configuring and controlling hot water supply installations
Inventor: Peter Konowalczyk
IPC: F28D20/02
Filed: 2021-07-02
Abstract: A hot water installation 100 comprises a plurality of controllable hot water outlets (e.g. shower outlet, kitchen tap), a water heater 105 having a controllable outflow temperature measured by an outflow temperature sensor 109, and at least one flow sensor 110 and flow regulator 115 between the heater and the outlets. A processor 140 is connected to the outflow temperature sensor, flow sensor(s) and regulator(s). Configuring the installation comprises placing an outlet temperature sensor (e.g. portable temperature sensor 800, figure 2) in a hot water outflow path of a first of the plurality of outlets (e.g. under the kitchen tap) and opening the first outlet so that hot water emanating therefrom impinges on the sensor. Monitoring variation in temperature with time generates temperature data for the first outlet that is supplied to the processor to enable the processor to determine parameters to control the outflow temperature when the processor subsequently detects operation of the first outlet. By accommodating for temperature losses in pipework using the method for each outlet, the installation can ensure that the outflow temperature for each outlet matches a desired temperature for the outlet, e.g. 41°C for a shower and 43°C for a kitchen sink.

Title: Video coding and decoding
Inventor: GUILLAUME LAROCHE
IPC: H04N19/91
Filed: 2018-10-18
Abstract: Encoding a motion information predictor index such as a merge index. The index is encoded by determining one of a first and second mode from a plurality of modes; selecting a motion information predictor candidate from a list of candidates of the mode used; generating the index for the selected candidate and encoding the index using CABAC coding. The first mode 2255 is for a subblock Merge mode with subblock Affine prediction. If the first mode is used, a generated list of motion information predictor candidates includes, if available, a motion information predictor candidate for subblock collocated temporal prediction. The second mode 2258 is for a Merge mode without subblock Affine prediction. If the second mode is used a list of motion information predictor candidates are generated without an Affine motion information predictor candidate. When encoding the index, all bits of the index are bypass CABAC coded except for a first bit which is encoded using a first context variable if the first mode has been used and is encoded using a second context variable if the second mode has been used.
