Title: System and method for controlling technical processes
Inventor: HAUSSILA TUMUR
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2012-12-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system involving use of a graphical user interface (GUI). The method comprises selecting an option from a menu list; performing a dragging or swiping operation through at least a portion of one graphical object; and applying an effect corresponding to the selected option to those graphical objects. The GUI might be displayed on a touch-sensitive screen, where the method is implemented by swiping a users finger over the display. The effect of the select option might be disabled or negated once the dragging/swiping operation is completed. This method might be used to facilitate control in a video game (such as a farming simulation game) or a simulation system.
Patent GB-2529389-A (GB)
Title: Pump arrangement
Inventor: HAWTHORNE PAUL JOSEPH
IPC: F04B15/02
Filed: 2014-07-18
Abstract: A plunger pump arrangement 30 includes a chamber 32 with an inlet 34 and outlet 36. Inlet and outlet valves 38, 40 are automatically (i.e. passively) actuated by a pressure differential thereacross. A main plunger 42 and a primer plunger 44 are selectively moveable into the chamber 32. The arrangement 30 is configured such that at the beginning of a pumping stroke the primer plunger 44 moves into the chamber prior to the main plunger 42, and at the beginning of a supply stroke the primer plunger 44 moves outwardly from the chamber 32 prior to the main plunger 42 moving outwardly. This reduces sudden changes in flow rate, especially as valves are opening and closing, resulting in quieter and more reliable performance with lower wear. The invention may be used for pumping thickened sludge.

Title: Bridging Arrangement, Microelectronic component and Method for manufacturing A Bridging Arrangement
Inventor: THOMAS J BRUNSCHWILER
IPC: H05K3/34
Filed: 2014-10-29
Abstract: A colloidal suspension of solder or solder coated nanoparticles and microparticles is applied to the gap between the electrodes of a device (eg a semiconductor chip) and a carrier (eg a PCB). Due to the effects of surface tension variations across the device and carrier, and also the pH of the suspension fluid, the solder particles accumulate in the electrode gap and form a bridging gap. The surface energy and hence the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of the chip and carrier surfaces can be selectively modified by chemical functionalization or plasma irradiation. The accumulation of particles in the gap may be enhanced using a magnetic field. After the bridging connection has formed the carrier fluid is removed by suction and then the solder particles may be heated and reflowed to create a permanent connection.

Title: Graphic processing systems
Inventor: ROBERTO LOPEZ MENDEZ
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2015-02-27
Abstract: In a graphics processing system, a bounding volume 20 representative of the volume of all or part of a scene to be rendered is defined. Then, when rendering an at least partially transparent object 21 that is within the bounding volume 20 in the scene, a rendering pass for part or all of the object 21 is performed in which the object 21 is rendered as if it were an opaque object. In the rendering pass, for at least one sampling position 23 on a surface of the object 21, the colour to be used to represent the part of the refracted scene that will be visible through the object 21 at the sampling position 23 is determined by using a view vector 24 from a viewpoint position 25 for the scene to determine a refracted view vector 26 for the sampling position 23, determining the position 28 on the bounding volume 20 intersected by the refracted view vector 26, using the intersection position 28 to determine a vector 29 to be used to sample a graphics texture that represents the colour of the surface of the bounding volume 20 in the scene, and using the determined vector 29 to sample the graphics texture to determine a colour for the sampling position 23 to be used to represent the part of the refracted scene that will be visible through the object 21 at the sampling position 23 and any other relevant information encoded in one or more channels of the texture.

Title: Apparatus for enabling an electrical conductor to pass through a wall of a pressure vessel without compromising the vessel's pressure integrity
Inventor: MEHRDAD ALIBOURI
IPC: H01B17/30
Filed: 2015-08-27
Abstract: Apparatus (50) for enabling an electrical conductor (52) to pass through a wall (54) of a pressure vessel (56) comprises an abutment (58) on the electrical conductor (52), a sealing member (60) which extends across the abutment (58) and a tightening means (62) for tightening the abutment (58) on the sealing member (60). The tightening of the abutment (58) on the sealing member (60) causes the sealing member (60) to form a pressure seal which prevents the leakage of fluid between the inside and outside of the vessel (56) in either direction. The sealing member (60) is made of an electrically insulating material whereby the sealing member (60) electrically insulates the abutment (58) from the wall (54) of the pressure vessel (56).

Title: Multi-reflecting mass spectrometer with high throughput
Inventor: ANATOLY N VERENCHIKOV
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2014-04-23
Abstract: Method and embodiments are provided for tandem mass spectrometer designed for extremely large charge throughput up to lE+10ion/sec. In one operation mode, the initial ion flow with wide m/z range is time separated in a trap array. The array ejects ions with a narrower momentarily m/z range. Ion flow is collected and confined in a wide bore ion channel at a limited time spread. The ion flow with narrow m/z range is then analyzed in a multi-reflecting TOF at frequent and time-encoded operation of the orthogonal accelerator, thus forming multiple non overlapping spectral segments. In another mode, time separated ions are subjected to fragmentation for comprehensive, all-mass MS-MS analysis. The momentarily ion flow at MR-TOF entrance is characterized by lower spectral population which allows efficient decoding of overlapping spectra. Those modes are combined with conventional spectrometer operation to improve the dynamic range. To provide practical solution, there are proposed multiple novel components comprising trap arrays, wide bore confining channels, resistive multipole, so as long life TOF detector.

Title: Method of controlling the operation of an after-treatment system of a motor vehicle
Inventor: GIACOMO LATROFA
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2016-01-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling the operation of an after-treatment system 270 of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The after-treatment system comprises a Lean NOx Trap (LNT) 285 and an exhaust line such as tail pipe 276, for conveying exhaust gasses from the LNT to the external environment. The method comprises the steps of calculating a value of a first parameter indicative of a NOx content in the exhaust gasses flowing in the tail pipe, calculating a value of a second parameter indicative of quantity of NOx stored in the LNT, calculating a value of a DeNOx request index as a function of the first parameter and the second parameter, calculating a raw threshold value of the DeNOx request index as a function of a LNT temperature and of an exhaust gas mass flow, calculating a corrected threshold value of the DeNOx, request index as a function of the raw threshold value of the DeNOx request index and of a correction factor, the correction factor being calculated as a function of a probability value of a successful completion of a DeNOx regeneration and starting a DeNOx regeneration if the calculated value of the DeNOx request index is larger than the corrected threshold value. Since the method includes a correction factor based on the probability of completing the DeNOx event the engine is able to operate efficiently and ensure the minimal use of a LNT DeNOx purge mode. Input parameters may include transmission gear and/or vehicle speed.
