Title: Audio monitor
Inventor: RUDOLPH AMALIUS JONATHAN FREIWIRTH
IPC: G11B3/44
Filed: 2020-07-12
Abstract: A record player stylus usage monitor 3 that monitors and logs usage by time through visual and audio components. The user defines the parameters for flagging stylus lifecycle stages. The stylus 1 wear may be indicated through a time-based device that uses both electronic and software technology to monitor and control stylus usage data. Visual and audio 5 indicators to convey the current sate and indicate a stylus change is advisable due to a defined time target in hours or minutes being reached. The access and control of stylus wear data may be remotely through Wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi (TM) or Bluetooth (TM). This time-based method may also be used to monitor the turntable belts. A device may be used to flag when a non-return arm has finished playing audio, but the turntable is still in motion and stylus lifecycle is being wasted.

Title: Thermal Storage to maintain the maximum temperature
Inventor: RUSTIN COOPER
IPC: F28D20/00
Filed: 2021-12-24
Abstract: A thermal storage vessel 1 for storing hot or cold storage fluids includes a first manifold 2 having a circular configuration which receives fluid from an energy source 7, such as a heat pump or chiller, and supplies fluid to a process 9, such as a heating or cooling apparatus. A second circular manifold 4 may be provided below the first manifold for use with a lower temperature fluid. A third circular manifold 3 may be located between the first and second manifolds and used with an intermediate temperature fluid. The circular manifolds may have open peripheral pipe connections to either supply fluid into the thermal store, or take fluid from the thermal store. The storage vessel may also include a fluid separation plate 5 with a one-way orifice, such as floating ball valve. The plate may be domed or conical and separate a cooler section of the fluid from a warmer section of the fluid to ensure minimal mixing. The circular motion of the fluid flowing through the manifold facilitates an uninterrupted additional flow through the thermal store, which can be added to or subtracted from the flow demanded by the process.

Title: Intelligent control system and methods for improving energy efficiency of a magnetic resonance imaging system
Inventor: Jeff Alan Stainsby
IPC: G01R33/54
Filed: 2022-04-19
Abstract: An intelligent control system for dynamically controlling components of an MRI scanner system minimises energy consumption when the scanner is not in use by placing components in lower power states. The control system: determines a current use state of each component; optimizes energy usage among the components based on the current use state of each component; alters an energy consumption profile of each component based on optimal energy usage, whereby an altered energy consumption for each component is provided; automatically activates power to each component based on the altered energy consumption when the MRI system is to be operated; and automatically deactivates power to each component when the MRI system is not to be operated. The MRI system is thus automatically operable when needed and inoperable when not needed, continually powering the components is eliminated, and an average energy consumption is reduced.

Title: A battery-powered four-way load handling vehicle
Inventor: KEVIN TURNBULL
IPC: B62D7/15
Filed: 2022-06-21
Abstract: A battery-powered four-way load handling vehicle has a chassis with a pair of front wheels 101, 103 and a rear wheel (105, Figure 1), with the rear wheel and at least one front wheel being powered by a wheel motor with a wheel motor controller for controlling the wheel motors. The vehicle is operable in a forwards/backwards mode of operation and a sideways mode of operation. In the sideways mode of operation, when a front steering wheel 101 is turned so that the rear wheel is on the inside of the turn, the wheel motor controller slows the rear wheel gradually with increasing degree of turn until the front steering wheel reaches a critical angle at which the rear wheel is stopped, and the rear wheel is placed into a freewheeling mode in which it can move in reverse. In the forwards/backwards mode a front wheel on the inside of the turb may similarly be made to freewheel at a critical angle.

Title: Photometric determination method for the chemically demanded oxygen in sea water
Inventor: PSARAKIS HARALAMPOS
IPC: G01N21/75
Filed: 1990-03-29
Abstract: The basic principle of this invention is: a) K2 Cr2 O7 completely oxidizes the organic substances which are found in high concentration dissolved in its volume, producing in this way a high intensity of colour. b) The precision of the photometric reading mechanism increases taking measurements from 65 to 95 percent T of its scale. Therefore, if a known amount of glucose known as COD is added to the sea sample, after having been previously appropriately diluted and with the use of type (I) the rate of COD can be deduced.  This method has been found to have comparative results with the method of "Reflow of bi-coloured potassium". Advantages: Utilises the present photometric apparatus for which the given analysis would have needed to place a reflow apparatus, expensive glass implements, many reagents, the use of gas etc. It limits the amount of HgSO4 to 5 percent in the analysis and afterwards in the lab waste as Hg2C12. The speed and amount of the specified samples is larger.
