Title: Use of ferrous sulfide suspension for the removal of selenium from gases
Inventor: GARY JOEL MEYER
IPC: B01D53/78
Filed: 2016-08-31
Abstract: An alkaline liquid suspension comprised of ferrous sulfide particles and a method of using the same for the removal of selenium from an industrial gas. The liquid suspension may be directly injected, or coated onto or into a substrate 51 and then injected into the industrial gas containing selenium to remove selenium from the industrial gas stream in a dry or wet scrubber system. The alkaline liquid suspension of ferrous sulphide particles may be produced by combining a source of ferrous ions (e.g. FeCl2) 54, a source of sulfide ions (e.g. NaHS) 55, and an alkalinity source (e.g. NaOH) 56. Where present, he substrate 51 may be placed into a cartridge or vessel 57 through which the industrial gas containing selenium 53 is passed to produce a selenium-free industrial gas stream 58. Advantageously the possibility of over or under dosing the required amount of ferrous iron necessary to precipitate selenium ions is mitigated and molar ratios of the ferrous ion source, sulfide ion source, and alkalinity source may be adjusted.

Title: Verification method and system
Inventor: HASAN SHEIKH FARIDUL
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2017-03-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of determining whether a live human face is present; this could be part of a facial recognition system and/or method. In particular, the invention relates to a method 100 comprising: generating 102 a stimulus (206); predicting, using a model (214), human face movement in response to said stimulus: presenting 104 the stimulus to a user; tracking 106 the movement of the users face in response to the stimulus using a camera; and determining 108 whether a live human face is present by comparing the movement of the face against said prediction. The invention is aimed at preventing presentation attacks or spoofing attempts by prompting a user to take an action that a falsified face (e.g. a photo or a mask) could not perform. For example, moving a gaze to follow an object on a screen, adopting a requested expression (e.g. smiling or frowning), or mouthing displayed words. A claim is also included for determining whether a live face is present based only on visual data captured using a camera.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling a vehicle
Inventor: Christoforos Chatzikomis
IPC: B60W40/114
Filed: 2017-05-11
Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle comprising determining a saturated reference yaw moment based on an initial reference yaw moment and a total wheel torque demand taking into account operational limits of the vehicle (S702). The initial torque allocations for each wheel is determined based on the saturated reference yaw moment (S704). Each allocation of torque for each wheel is then checked to determine whether the initial torque allocation for said wheel exceeds a corresponding wheel torque limit for said wheel (S705). In response to a determination that the initial torque allocation for a first wheel exceeds the corresponding wheel torque limit, and that the initial torque allocation for a second wheel on the same side of the vehicle is less than the corresponding wheel torque limit, the initial torque allocations are revised by increasing the torque allocation to the second wheel (S706). The electric vehicle can then be controlled to apply the revised torque allocations to the plurality of wheels (S707).
