Title: Method for assembling LEDs to a ceramic heat conductive member
Inventor: LIAO TZU-YU
IPC: F21K99/00
Filed: 2011-12-02
Abstract: A method for assembling light emitting diodes (LEDs) to a ceramic heat conductive member comprises: mixing ceramic materials together and subjecting the mixed ceramic materials to hot pressing to form the ceramic heat conductive member 30, subjecting a surface 301 of the ceramic heat conductive member to a silver printing, drying and silver reduction process to form a patterned silver layer 31 thereon, applying conductive binders 32 to the silver layer by a coating process and attaching the LEDs 14 between paired conductive binders by welding. The structure produced by the method is such that the LEDs are located between the paired conductive binders, and each of the LEDs includes a LED wafer 140 disposed on a substrate 141, so that the heat generated by the LEDs can be transmitted quickly to the ceramic heat conductive member via the conductive binders and the silver layer.

Title: Thermally protected scintillation detector
Inventor: STOLLER CHRISTIAN
IPC: G01T1/202
Filed: 2009-10-07
Abstract: A scintillator crystal for well logging has a heating element partially surrounding the crystal. The package in which the crystal is encapsulated may also comprise a layer of insulation such as silicone, PFA, PTFE or polyimide film. The thermal protection element prevents the scintillator crystal from experiencing more than a threshold rate of change in temperature, by preheating, controlling cooling or deactivating if heating rate is too high. This assists the prevention of cracking and non-uniform light output.

Title: Energy harvesting in a geophysical survey streamer
Inventor: TENGHAMN STIG RUNE LENNART
IPC: G01V1/20
Filed: 2012-03-07
Abstract: A geophysical survey system includes one or more streamers (24, Fig 1, Fig 2) having sensors (e.g. seismic or electromagnetic sensors) powered by at least one energy harvesting device 502 that converts vibratory motion of the streamers into electrical power. The vibratory motion may originate from vortex shedding, drag fluctuation, breathing waves, and various flow noise sources including turbulent boundary layers. To increase conversion efficiency, the device may be designed with an adjustable resonance frequency to match the largest component of the vibratory motion. The energy harvesting device may employ a mass-spring system or a piezoelectric transducer. There may be one energy harvester in each of a plurality of detachable streamer segments. Sensors may be arranged in groups, and the streamer may include hubs which digitise data from sensor groups. The hubs may be powered by energy harvesting devices. Use of energy harvesting power sources reduces the amount of wiring that would otherwise be required along the streamer.

Title: Crowd density estimation using semi-supervised active learning
Inventor: GONG SHAOGANG SEAN
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2012-09-03
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and procedures for the automated counting of the number of persons (or objects) in a scene 1 monitored by a surveillance camera. A semi-supervised active learning procedure 4 is used to construct a count distribution manifold for extrapolating labels (inference of counts) from very large unlabelled data points with the assistance of human-labelled counts from a very small labelled data set. Labels, signals or other indication are received from a user. The most informative data points with a known label (count) are identified. A regression model using the user-labelled data and inference-labelled data is constructed. The method could also include extracting features 2 from the video received from the camera, and/or normalizing the scale of objects 3.

Title: Detecting malware via outgoing radio messages
Inventor: THURE MARKO
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2013-06-20
Abstract: The presence of malware on a radio device, such as a mobile phone, is detected by identifying that an outgoing message or call has been or is about to be sent from the device; determining the state of the device; analyzing that state to see if the outgoing message/call was prepared by a user of the device; and providing an alert to the user if it is determined that the suspicious activity was not prepared by the user. The outgoing messages may include SMS/MMS and/or TCP/UDP messages. Some examples of the detected state that is analyzed include whether: a keyguard and/or screensaver is on; or a default messaging application and/or any full screen application is running. The system may prevent the message from being transmitted if it has not yet been sent, or may terminate the process that caused the transmission if it has been sent. This allows for dynamic detection of malware without relying on malware signatures that may be out-of-date.

Filed: 2013-10-29
Abstract: A method of disseminating a digital wallet to a target device comprises searching, with a searching device, on a local network for the target device, and pushing the digital wallet to the target device. A card based account is registered at the first device and a wallet set up 140. The first device searches 142 for other devices in the local network. The user is presented with a list of found devices 144 and can select which devices to push wallet functionality to 146. This initiates the propagation of the wallet functionality to those specifically selected devices. Following user authentication 148, wallet data is pushed from the first device to each of the selected devices, and at each of the selected devices the user accepts the pushed wallet to complete the propagation 152. Alternatively a wallet could be created at the first device, and that first device could subsequently transmit a message to the cloud instructing it to push the wallet functionality to the second device.

Title: A Method of electromagnetic defectoscopy for multi-string wells and the electromagnetic downhole defectoscope
Inventor: DAVYDOV DMITRY ALEKSANDROVICH
IPC: G01N27/90
Filed: 2012-12-03
Abstract: This invention relates to the monitoring of the integrity of casing, tubing and other strings in oil and gas wells. The technical result of this invention consists in increased accuracy and trustworthiness in detecting and locating transverse and longitudinal defects in well completion components and downhole equipment, in both the magnetic and nonÂ¬ magnetic first, second and other metal barriers. Electromagnetic defectoscopy in multi-string wells includes measuring EMF induced in a coil by eddy currents generated in metal barriers by the decay of the electromagnetic field produced by magnetisation current pulses in the coil. A series of pulses of fixed duration in the range of 0.1-1000 ms is fed to each exciter-and-pickup coil to sequentially magnetise all metal barriers starting from the nearest one, wifh pulse durations increasing for each next barrier. The recorded data are saved and processed by comparing them with model data, and the processing results indicate defects in the metal barriers. The downhole electromagnetic defecfoscope contains a case, axially oriented coils with their magnetic axes coinciding with the tool's magnetic axis, and an electronic module, and at least two exciter-and- pickup coils, each consisting of an exciter coil and a pickup coil with a single core. The exciter-and-pickup coils are of different sizes and are spaced apart by a distance of not less than the length of the larger exciter- and-pickup coil.
