Title: Directional filter for processing full tensor gradiometer data
Inventor: BREWSTER JAMES
IPC: G01V7/06
Filed: 2013-08-14
Abstract: A directional filter for processing full-tensor gradiometer data is described. The filter processes input data using a method comprising receiving geophysical data collected based on characteristics of geographic features in an environment, and applying a directional filter to the received geophysical data in a first instance so as to provide first filtered data. A filtering direction of the directional filter is determined based on properties in the received geophysical data. The method also includes updating the filtering direction based on properties in the first filtered data, applying the directional filter to the received geophysical data in a subsequent instance using the updated filtering direction so as to provide subsequent filtered data, and based on the updated filtering direction having a subsequent update less than a threshold, outputting directionally filtered data. The subsequent update is determined due to properties in the subsequent filtered data output from the subsequent instance.

Title: Navigation lights
Inventor: TIMOTHY JAMES LYSONS
IPC: B64D47/06
Filed: 2015-07-04
Abstract: A navigation light 10 comprises an aerodynamically profiled housing 11A, 11B fittable to an appropriate flat surface on an aircraft, ship or land vehicle, the housing 11A, 11B enclosing a light source 21 or having means to access the light from a separate light source and an optical diffuser 15. The optical diffuser 15 has a window 13 forming part of the aerodynamic profiling and the geometrical design of the diffuser 15 is such that all light passed into it is emitted uniformly throughout the angles prescribed by regulations for that aeroplane, ship or land vehicle. The diffuser15 may surround the light source 21 and reflectors 17, 18 may be provided to prevent glare and to ensure that all light emitted from the light source 21 emerges from the diffuser 15. The light source(s) 21 could be light emitting diodes (LEDs) and the housing 11A, 11B is designed to be considerably smaller than present designs so reducing aerodynamic drag. The combination of diffuser 15 and LEDs 21 offers great improvements in reliability and reduced maintenance and the diffuser 15 is adapted to eliminate glare. A plurality of lights sources 21 may be arranged side by side or in an elongated matrix. A variation of the design uses an adjacent light source with the light taken into the housing via either fibre optics or a light transmitting element (25 fig. 11).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for geocoded information aided vehicle warning. An example disclosed vehicle includes range detection sensors and a threat detector. The example threat detector determines a threat or danger level based on a location of the vehicle 402. Additionally, the threat detector defines, with the range detection sensors (Fig.1, 104), contours or boundaries of detection zones (Fig.1, 102) around the vehicle based on the threat level 406. The threat detector also performs actions 412, to secure the vehicle in response to a threat detected in the detection zone. These actions may include closing windows, providing an alarm, locking doors and lowering a volume of a sound system. The threat level may be based on a geo-coded security metric, navigation data, and weather data from an external network. If a threat is detected, a notification may be provided to a mobile device on which a radar map may be displayed showing the location of the threat relative to the location of the vehicle.
