Title: A security device for clamping to safes to hinder unauthorised opening
Inventor: DUBBEY MARTIN LEWIS
IPC: E05B63/00
Filed: 2012-02-29
Abstract: A security device for hindering unauthorised opening of safes, in particular hotel safes, comprising a first longitudinal member 10 and a second longitudinal member 12, retractably co-operable with each other. The device also has first and second lateral members 14, 16, provided at respective outer ends of the first and second longitudinal members which are used to clamp the device against the side walls of a safe. A locking mechanism locks the first longitudinal member to the second longitudinal member. A tension spring 60 biases the second longitudinal member so that it retracts into the first longitudinal member. The locking mechanism may also include a clamping member 112 which can then be swivelled to push the second longitudinal member 12 further into the first longitudinal member by means of the pawl member 122 acting against the teeth of the sawtoothed element 50. A vernier means 150 may also be included, enabling further tightening of the lateral members. The device provides, firstly, a visible deterrent and, secondly, a physical barrier to would-be intruders, allowing a hotel guest peace of mind when valuables are left behind.

Title: System to control backup migration and recovery of data
Inventor: BYRNE TED
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2013-05-29
Abstract: Control of the backup, migration and recovery of IT systems in one consolidated platform, which supports the entire recovery continuum including files and folders, volumes, production machines (physical and virtual) through to clustered environments. The data from source machine(s) which has been nominated to require protection is continuously captured in real time. The data is then lifted over the network (LAN/WAN) to the target machines, where protection, migration and recovery are executed to create consistent data in and across volumes. The target machines are located on the premises and/or in different sites, countries or even continents. The system recovers not just one but many source machines on each target machine in parallel. Protection may be attained by integrating with the volume shadow copy service. After initial synchronization during back-up/archiving, only incremental changes may be replicated. The virtual or physical source or server may be recovered in parallel from last consistent back-up.

Title: Gas or dual fuel engine
Inventor: SIXEL EIKE
IPC: F02D41/04
Filed: 2014-03-10
Abstract: The application relates to a method of operating a gas or dual fuel internal combustion engine 100 having a plurality of cylinders 104. The method includes monitoring a characteristic of each of the plurality of cylinders during operation. The method detects a pre-ignition or knock condition associated with one or more cylinders from the plurality of cylinders based on the monitored characteristics. The method reduces fuel supply to the one or more cylinders having the pre-ignition condition associated therewith. The fuel supply to remaining cylinders from the plurality of cylinders is increased in response to the reduced fuel supply to the one or more cylinders having the pre-ignition condition, in order to compensate for any reduction in power and maintain a constant power output of the gas or dual fuel engine whilst reducing noise vibration and harshness caused by pre-ignition. The method adjusts an amount of air supplied to each of the plurality of cylinders, for example by use of a compressor 110 of a turbocharger 106, based on the increased amount of fuel supplied to the remaining cylinders in order to maintain an air-to-fuel ratio within a desired range. An engine that uses the method is also disclosed.

Title: Monocular camera cognitive imaging system for a vehicle
Inventor: ZHANG YUE
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2014-04-14
Abstract: A cognitive imaging system and a method of cognitive imaging are disclosed which include a step of classifying the complexity of a background environment in a segment, sub-frame or region of interest (ROI) of a frame captured by a monocular camera installed in a vehicle (vessel or craft) in order to have a field of view in the normal direction of motion of the vehicle. The classification is added to a queue of predetermined length and updated by adding a new classification every time a sub-frame is scanned in a subsequent new captured frame during target hazard tracking. The sequence of classifications forms an environment analysing vector. The environment analysing vector is used to determine if the environment background for the sub-frame can be reused in a subsequent background subtraction to track the target in a subsequently captured frame. The resulting tracking data can be used to determine if a hazardous situation is imminent and to alert the vehicle driver or to control the vehicle to avoid the hazard.

The phase difference may be calculated by subtracting the first sensor reading from the second. The controller may calculate the phase difference at a predetermined position of the first member. The first and second members may be gears with a different number of teeth, be in direct contact with each other, or connected with a belt, a chain or another gear. The position sensors may be magnetic or optical. A further first and second sensor, with further controller may be included to provide an additional measure of number of turns of the first member.

Title: Thermally stable low power chip clocking
Inventor: WILLIAMS PETER ANDREW REES
IPC: G06F1/06
Filed: 2014-08-07
Abstract: Controlling an integrated circuit chip with first and second clocks, the first clock source being more heat stable and having a higher power consumption. In a first mode, the first clock source is inactive and the second clock source is active and in a second mode in which the first and second clock sources are active. When operating the integrated circuit chip in the first mode; taking a measurement indicative of temperature; if the temperature is outside of a thermal band, then the first clock source is activated for a second mode; recalibrating the second clock source against the first clock source; and following the recalibration, deactivating the first clock source so as to return the integrated circuit chip to the first mode. This allows low lower analogue oscillators to be correlated against a crystal oscillator, to ensure that the clock maintains an accuracy of 250 ppm to meet the Bluetooth (RTM) radio protocol specification in sleep low power mode. The temperature may be determined based on voltage drop over the transistor.
