Title: A pressure regulator
Inventor: MICHAEL LAMBERT
IPC: H04R1/44
Filed: 2018-11-07
Abstract: An acoustic device, such as a speaker is deployed underwater. As the depth of the acoustic device increases, increasing pressure affects the acoustic response and the effectiveness of the acoustic device is reduced. A pressure regulator comprising an internal pressure sensor, a valve, and a gas supply each coupled to a processor, are provided and disposed within a fluid tight housing. The pressure regulator has an external pressure sensor coupled to the processor though the housing. The pressure regulator is gas coupled to the acoustic device contained within a pressure sealed and fluid tight container, to regulate the pressure in the container.

Title: Integrity monitor
Inventor: STUART JOHN KITCHING
IPC: H05K5/06
Filed: 2018-12-06
Abstract: Protective medium 12, of an electronic component protection device, is associated with magnetic element 14 and Hall sensor 16 (or optionally a plurality thereof), the Hall sensor being located to sense a magnetic field of the magnetic element. The magnetic element and/or the Hall sensor is embedded in the protective medium. An integrity monitor receives an output of the Hall sensor, and identifies from any change to the magnetic field the integrity of the component protection device, in an aspect by comparing the output with data stored at a configuration stage. The integrity monitor may monitor thermal conductivity of the protective medium, or its susceptibility to environmental conditions such as water, sand or temperature. The integrity monitor may supply an electric current to the Hall sensor(s). Detection of a change in integrity may trigger a predetermined action, such as setting non-volatile memory associated with the electronic component to a write-protect state.

Abstract: A coherent receiver generates a reference signal 401 with a defined phase and inputs the reference signal and a first data signal 111 to a first mixer 500. The first mixer outputs first 501 and second 502 mixed signals. The first mixed signal and a second data signal 121 are input to a first detection unit 610. Similarly, the second mixed signal and a third data signal 122 input are input to a second detection unit 620. The first and second detection units output first 710 and second 720 difference signals, respectively, which are summed 8. As shown in Figure 4, if there more than 3 input signals, additional mixers 510, 520 are provided. Each of these additional mixers receives an output from another mixer (e.g. the first mixer) and a data signal and outputs mixed signals to two detection units, two mixers or a mixer and a detection unit. The mixers may be arranged in a hierarchical array comprising multiple layers 50, 51, of mixers. The invention may be applied to continuous variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) to distribute the power of a reference beam without exceeding the saturation power of a detection unit.

Abstract: A method of processing location data and then receiving and responding to a query. A dataset (fig. 1, 10) is received, comprising entries each with data (fig. 1, 14) and a location (fig. 1, 16). A bounding shape (fig. 2, 20), is defined that contains all the locations of the dataset, then subdivided into level 1 shapes (fig. 2, 22), the number of entries, and a data summary of the data of each entry, in each level 1 shape is calculated. This is then repeated a predetermined number of times, dividing at least one level n shape into level n+1. Indexes are stored for each level, each index 24 storing the number of entries and data summary for shapes at the respective level. When a query defining a user area is received, for each level, the shapes that are contained wholly within the user defined area are determined and added to a query response. For the level defining the smallest shape, determine the shapes of that level that are partially contained within the user defined, and the entries contained within the user defined area are determined and added to the query response, which is then outputted (fig. 5, 30).
