Title: Fluid delivery system
Inventor: MATTHEW J SIMPSON
IPC: A61M39/22
Filed: 2018-07-31
Abstract: A fluid delivery system 100 comprising a syringe 110 and a valve 120. Syringe 110 comprises an aspiration barrel 104 and an injection barrel 105. Valve 120 controls fluid flow between the syringe 110 and a fluid delivery lumen 130 for aspiration and injection of a target site. Valve 120 is operable in a reverse and forward position, such that: in the reverse position the valve 120 enables fluid to flow from the fluid delivery lumen 130 to the aspiration barrel 104; and in the forward position the valve 120 enables fluid to flow from the injection barrel 105 to the fluid delivery lumen 130. Valve 120 may be operable in a neutral position, where the valve 120 prevents fluid flow between the syringe 110 and the fluid delivery lumen 130. Syringe 110 may comprise a biasing means 109, possibly a spring, to pressurise fluid in the injection barrel 105, where biasing means 109 may provide an injection fluid pressure that does not exceed one of 30 psi (206.8kpa), 20 psi (137.9kpa), 15 psi (103.4kpa) or 10 psi (68.9kpa). Described as being for use by anaesthetists seeking a suitable target to inject a local anaesthetic into a subject.

Title: Distributed data deduplication in grid of processors
Inventor: LIOR ARONOVICH
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2017-01-04
Abstract: There is a method for distributed data deduplication in a grid of processors. Input data is received on a processor. The input data is partitioned into a plurality of similarity units. A corresponding deduplication metadata slice and owning processor for one of the similarity units is calculated. A representative value and corresponding digest values of the similarity unit are sent to the owning processor. The owning processor is used to search for the representative value in the deduplication metadata slice, and to send a specification and owning processors of calculated identical data sections to the processor. The processor is used to send nominal information of the calculated identical data sections to the owning processors of the data referenced by the calculated identical data sections.

Title: Bootstrapping with common credential data
Inventor: YONGBEOM PAK
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2018-12-03
Abstract: The invention comprises bootstrapping a device by a bootstrap server wherein the device has common credential data (e.g. a certificate or key) that is provisioned on and common to a group of devices. The method may reduce the administration burden as the devices do not each need to be provisioned with unique credential data. The process comprises receiving at the bootstrap server common credential data from the device including a trust indicator indicating that the common credential data is common for a group of devices; obtaining, at the bootstrap server, resource credential data based on the common credential data, where the resource credential data enables the device to authenticate with a resource; and transmitting the resource credential data from the bootstrap server to the device. Subsequently, the bootstrap server may obtain bootstrap credential data that devices can use to authenticate without the common credential data. The trust indicator indicates that it may have a chain of trust to a trusted source. The resource credential data is unique for each device. The process may allow an Internet of Things (IoT) device to connect to a resource server such as a lightweight machine to machine server (LwM2M).

Title: Filter assembly
Inventor: JAMES PETER HOSFORD
IPC: B01D35/16
Filed: 2019-07-24
Abstract: A filter assembly has rotating cleaning nozzles 80 and a filter tensioning system 48. Cleaning nozzles 80 can thrust filtered water at a dirty filter (30, fig 2), to clean debris therefrom. Jet nozzles 80 can squirt cleaning fluid tangentially, creating a turning moment, to cause cleaning arms 70 to rotate about the filter axis. Nozzles 80 may be in close proximity to the filter. Tension in a filter can be adjusted, to ensure a taut filter and reduce sagging, to prevent the rotating spray nozzles 80 from fouling the filter (30, fig 2). The tensioning system may include rods 48, which can be lengthened using a spring, screw threads and lock nut (figure 6); or bowing spring steel rods (148, fig 7) to keep the filter from drooping. The filter assembly may filter river or pond water in agricultural or horticultural irrigation systems; animal waste; human sewage; or slurry.

Title: Method of manufacturing beverage ingredients
Inventor: GERTJAN HEIJMAN
IPC: A23F5/50
Filed: 2019-12-20
Abstract: A method of treating a beverage ingredient extract 51 comprises (a) filtering the extract to obtain a beverage ingredient extract retentate 53 and a beverage ingredient extract permeate 52, (b) raising the pH of the retentate to provide a treated beverage ingredient extract retentate 54, and (c) combining the treated retentate 54 with the permeate 53 to generate a recombined beverage ingredient extract 55. The method may further include filtering to purify the retentate after step (b), and/or removing aroma compounds from the extract before step (a) and returning the aroma compounds to the recombined ingredient extract after step (c) (not shown). Step (a) may comprise membrane filtering, and the method may include further permeate filtering steps 521, 523, preferably with each filtering step using a filter which isolates a different molecular weight fraction to previous filters. The beverage ingredient extract may comprise cocoa, chicory, tea, beer or preferably coffee. Filtering the coffee extract and/or permeates increases the concentration of high molecular weight (HMW) compounds in the retentate and increasing the pH of the retentate reduces the binding activity of the HMW compounds towards aroma compounds, thus improving the aroma of the recombined extract.
Patent GB-2591098-A (GB)
Title: Sub-surface well location determination
Inventor: Marianne Houbiers
IPC: G01V1/42
Filed: 2020-01-14
Abstract: The position of a drill bit or other noise source within a subsurface formation is estimated using seismic data from sensors 4 (e.g. permanent reservoir monitor) spread across a region of the surface above the drill bit or other noise source and/or located in one or more nearby wells. The seismic data is pre-processed to enhance a contribution of drill bit or noise source generated noise. A set of points 5 is defined on a grid in 3-dimensional space that includes an expected position 6 of the drill bit or noise source. Travel times are computed for seismic waves from each point to each sensor location. For each point, the pre-processed seismic data, sensor location data, and computed travel times are used to compute a semblance stack of travel-time corrected seismic data in a time window. The grid location of the maximum semblance is determined and a 3-dimensional polynomial fitted around this grid location. The location of a maximum of the 3-dimensional polynomial is located and used as an estimate of the current position of the drill bit or other noise source.

Abstract: A content playback system 104 having a local media store 102 that stores media files, a metadata extraction unit/software 108 that extracts metadata from the media files, a remote server 110 that receives the extracted metadata and generates a user database 118 (e.g. on a mobile phone) that includes information about the media files and a user interface that interacts with the user database. In this way, recommendations may be provided to a user which may enable the user to easily find desired content. The media files may be songs and the metadata may be metadata commonly found in playlists such as a track or song name, artist name and album name. Storing the media files locally may reduce the amount of processing done locally as the only local processing may be the extraction of metadata from the media files stored the local media store. The user interface may be presented via an app on a mobile phone device and the playback system may be used for in-vehicle entertainment (in-car entertainment).
