Title: Method for operating a mobile working machine and mobile working machine
Inventor: DANIEL NEYER
IPC: E02F9/26
Filed: 2019-01-03
Abstract: Mobile machine 100 has a manipulator arm 110 mounted movably on a component 120 such as the body of the excavator 100 or a loading crane of a lorry. The position of the manipulator arm 110 relative to the body 120 is determined using at least one sensor 111, 112, 113, 114 mounted on the manipulator, such as displacement sensors, angle sensors, inertial sensors, rotation rate sensors and acceleration sensors. Rotation D of the body 120 about a vertical axis H of the mobile working machine 100 is detected using a rotation rate sensor 121. Over-all position of the manipulator arm 110 is determined using manipulator arm 110 position relative to the body 120 and rotational position of body 120 about the vertical axis H. The rotation position D of the body 120 is redundantly detected using a redundant camera 125 such as the vehicles rear-view manoeuvring camera 125. This uses image analysis to confirm position relative to external elements such as comparison of ground features. Alternatively, two or more cameras (Fig 4: 126, 127) mounted under body 120 can analyse relative position of excavator substructure 130 or wheels. Redundant image is used to compensate for vibration or noise reduction.

IPC: G01F1/7084
Filed: 2019-05-28
Abstract: A method of determining a flow rate in a fluid conduit, such as in an artificially lifted hydrocarbon well, comprises: detecting or inferring the occurrence of a first change in temperature of a fluid at a first location 20 in said conduit; detecting the occurrence of a second change in temperature of said fluid, associated with said first change, at a second location 18 in said conduit downstream of said first location; determining a period of time between said first and second changes in temperature; obtaining a value of a volume of said conduit between said first location and said second location, and determining the flow rate of said fluid from said value of the volume and said period of time.

Title: Method of signalling in a video codec
Inventor: SAVERIO GIOVANNI BLASI
IPC: H04N19/70
Filed: 2019-09-24
Abstract: A method of signalling which of three intra-prediction modes is used for encoding a chrominance block in a video frame comprises building s102 a list of two candidate chroma intra prediction modes, taking into account a luma mode used to encode a corresponding luminance block. A first bit is signalled s106, s108 to indicate whether the selected mode is the same as the luma mode. If the selected mode is not identical to the luma mode a second flag is signalled s110 to indicate which of the two candidate modes in the list is selected. Building the list may comprise replacing candidate modes in the list if they are the same as the corresponding luma mode to avoid redundancy with the DM mode. Modes may be selected to replace the candidate modes based in part on another characteristic of the block. Also claimed are a corresponding encoding apparatus and a corresponding decoding apparatus and method.

IPC: H04L67/55
Filed: 2022-04-04
Abstract: Data transmission system, particularly for a vehicle and maybe an Automated Driver Assistance System (ADAS), Autonomous Driving System (ADS) or simulation system. The system comprises a centralized controller, a publisher entity and a subscriber entity; wherein the publisher entity and the subscriber entity are compiled with a predefined data format; the publisher entity registers at the centralized controller with topic information; the centralized controller (broker), upon registration of the publisher entity, stores the topic information with information for registering at the publisher entity; the subscriber entity subscribes at the centralized controller to the topic information; the centralized controller, upon subscription of the subscriber entity, provides to the subscriber entity information for registering at the publisher entity; and the subscriber entity creates the communication channel(s) between the publisher entity and the subscriber entity based on the information for registering at the publisher entity. Overhead and latency are said to be reduced through use of the common data format (avoiding necessity of de/serializing data). Transmission synchronisation is facilitated as entities are informed about new data and acquire it at the same time. Data integrity and security also feature as entities can be identified as having different read/write access rights with metadata pointers.
