Title: Automated hitching system with variable backing paths
Inventor: LUKE NIEWIADOMSKI
IPC: B62D15/02
Filed: 2020-10-27
Abstract: A system is provided to assist in aligning a vehicle 12 to hitch to a trailer 16. The system has a system detecting scene data 54 of an area behind the vehicle, which may use cameras or may be an ultrasonic or radar system, and a controller. The controller identifies trailer 16 and a ground surface, and differentiates between first and second portions of the ground surface based on different surface classifications (for example the second classification may be based on a surface type, such as concrete or grass, or the presence of a kerb). A reversing path is determined to align a hitch ball 34 on vehicle 16 to a coupler 14 on trailer 16 remaining within the first portion of the ground, and the controller controls a vehicle steering system to manoeuvre vehicle 12 on the reversing path. The system may derive the reversing path ignoring the surface classifications if it fails to derive one constrained to the first ground surface portion.

Title: Ion peak compression or expansion
Inventor: DAVID J LANGRIDGE
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2021-03-18
Abstract: A method of separating ions according to a physicochemical property, such as ion mobility or mass to charge ratio, comprises travelling a transient DC voltage repeatedly along a first region of an ion guide to urge ions having different values of the physicochemical property through the first region with different average speeds. A transient DC voltage is travelled along a second region of the ion guide adjacent to the first region, (i) whilst having a second different amplitude; or (ii) at a second different non-zero speed; or (iii) at a substantially constant speed but with a different frequency, in order to urge ions having a given value of the physicochemical property through the second region at a different average speed than they are urged through the first region. This causes the ions to be spatially compressed or expanded as they pass from the first region of the ion guide to the second region. Alternatively, instead of applying transient DC voltages, a first constant electric field may be applied to the first region and a second constant electric field of a different magnitude may be applied to the second region

Patent GB-2606207-A (GB)
Title: Image reconstruction method
Inventor: Karl-Philipp Kunze
IPC: G06T5/40
Filed: 2021-04-29
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of reconstructing a motion-compensated magnetic resonance image of a patient is described. The method uses raw k-space data acquired at a first resolution over successive respiratory and/or cardiac cycles of a patient and after binning data based on corresponding motion states derived from these cycles, reduces the resolution of the binned K-space data in each bin. This is done by selecting a subgroup of binned k-space data. Bin images are reconstructed from the reduced-resolution data, and histogram-equalised versions of the reconstructed reduced-resolution bin image generated for each bin. Motion fields are estimated and interpolated to the first resolution such that motion data can be incorporated into a final reconstruction of a motion compensated image.

Title: Memory allocation for 3-D graphics rendering
Inventor: Michael John Livesley
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2022-03-30
Abstract: Memory is allocated for geometry processing in a 3-D graphics rendering system comprising multiple cores. Information is obtained (410) describing a sequence of geometry processing work packages distributed among the cores, the information including, for each work package, an index of the work package in the sequence, and an indication of whether the work package is currently being processed or has been completed. The earliest active work-package, being the earliest package in the sequence currently being processed by any of the cores, is identified (420). A request is received (430) from a core to allocate memory for geometry processing, and a determination is made as to whether to allocate the requested memory (450) based on whether the request was received from the core processing the earliest active work package (440). Memory allocation requests relating to the current earliest uncompleted work package in the sequence are thus treated differently to other requests, and may be prioritised. The restricting may be based on the size of the remaining free memory pool, and may be based on a comparison between the amount of memory already allocated to the particular core and a fixed or dynamic threshold (460).

Title: Method and system of selecting one or more images for human labelling
Inventor: Shweta Sahu
IPC: G06T7/70
Filed: 2022-06-30
Abstract: A method comprising applying a plurality (i.e. ensemble) of object detection models 328 to an image to generate sets of bounding boxes 336 representing the location of detected objects, associating bounding boxes between the sets, and generating a normalised object uncertainty score 344 for the detected objects based on the location of the associated bounding boxes, wherein the models are trained on a single labelled dataset. The models may be trained on the labelled dataset with different initialisations and may have a MobileNet-SSD architecture. The boxes may be associated by assigning an identifier (i.e. classifier) to each box wherein each identifier is associated to an object with the image, and associating boxes with the same identifier. The object uncertainty score may be calculated using the Euclidian distance between bounding boxes and may be normalised based on the number of models. An image uncertainty score 348 may be generated through summing the object uncertainty scores. The image may be selected for human labelling when the image score exceeds a threshold.
