Patent GB-2605154-A (GB)
Title: Image rendering method and apparatus
Inventor: FABIO CAPPELLO
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2021-03-24
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention seek to replace the ray tracing step usually associated with image rendering with something else that has a more predictable computational load for a suitable quality of final image. An example embodiment consists of a machine learning system for each contributing component of the image (e.g. diffuse, specular, and optionally coat or any other contributing component). The machine learning system is typically a neural network that is trained to learn a transform between the bi-directional scattering distribution function BSDF and the ray-traced ground truth of the contributing component of the image, for a plurality of images at different viewpoints in the scene. Put another way, if the ray traced image (or one of the contributing components) is a combination of how lighting plays over an object and the BSDF describing how that object reacts to light, then by taking the ray traced image and uncombining it with the BSDF, the result is a quality that may be referred to as 'radiance' or 'shade', but more generally describes how the light plays over the object (as computed in aggregate by the ray tracing process). If the machine learning system or neural network can learn to predict this quality, then it can be combined again with the BSDF to produce a predicted image approximating the ray-traced image. The network may thus be referred to as a neural precomputed light model or NPLM network. More specifically, for a given position on a hypothetical image of an object, and a direction of view, the machine learning system or neural network must learn to output a value that, when combined with the BSDF for that same position/pixel, results in a pixel value similar to that which would arise from raytracing the image at that pixel wherein the machine learning system was previously trained with a training set based on images comprising multiple lighting conditions.

Title: Air-oxygen blender with periodic pressure venting
Inventor: RAYMOND J HUEY
IPC: A61M16/20
Filed: 2021-09-24
Abstract: An air-oxygen blender 10 comprises a housing having first and second gas inlets 24, 26, a proportional mixing valve 72 communicating with the first and second gas inlets and a gas outlet 80, 82, 84 as well, the blender further having a purge valve 100 communicating with the proportional valve and the gas outlet. When the blender is in a standby mode ready for immediate emergency use, pressure may build up in it, and so the purge valve 100 dumps the gas periodically. By automatically venting the pressure, it prevents cross-contamination between the air and oxygen sources, which may otherwise occur when gas from the higher-pressure gas source back-flows into the lower-pressure gas source. It also helps relieve any pressure imbalance in the blender. The purge valve 100 is preferably an electrically-actuated solenoid valve. An oxygen analyser 94 is preferably provided on the air-oxygen blender 10. The purge valve may be provided on the housing or in a manifold of the oxygen analyser.

Title: A device for determining an earliest flame appearance time in an air-gas mixture burning appliance
Inventor: SAMUEL ENGLISH
IPC: F23N5/24
Filed: 2021-11-12
Abstract: A combustion appliance 100, such as a boiler or heating device, has a gas control valve 194, an air and fuel gas mixing unit 110 that produces a combustible gas mixture 130 from air 111 and fuel gas 119, a flame detector 150, a controller 140 and a combustion unit 120. During an ignition event, the controller calculates the minimum time from opening of the gas valve to the detection of the presence of the flame by the flame detector. The controller selects from at least two different time durations, and in use, can compare the calculated minimum time from the opening of the gas valve to detection of a flame with a measured time duration, and check that the measured time is shorter than the calculated time, and if not, conclude that the gas valve may be leaking. The appliance may then be put into in at least one of a safe state, a non-operational state, or a restricted performance state. The at least two different time durations account for the characteristics of at least two fuel gases, for example a hydrogen fuel gas or another fuel gas such as propane, butane, methane, liquefied petroleum gas, etc.
