Title: Bag-in-keg container with fixed pressure PRV
Inventor: PHILIP ANDREW WALTON
IPC: B67D1/12
Filed: 2018-11-09
Abstract: The bag-in-keg container (Fig. 3) contains two pressure relief valves (PRV): one associated with the container wall (40, Fig. 3) and one associated with the flexible bag. The bag PRV operates against a calibrated reference pressure inside a fixed volume plenum chamber 37. Because the plenum is sealed from the space S between the bag and the keg, the pressure inside the plenum is not necessarily equal to the pressure in the space S. A pressure in the bag above e.g. 5 bar can open the bag PRV, creating a venting path P, regardless of the pressure in space S. Meanwhile, the container PRV can be set to vent when the pressure in space S exceeds 5 bar above atmospheric pressure. In this way, a set maximum pressure can be maintained throughout the entire bag-in-keg system.

Title: A method of and apparatus for determining component weight and/or volume fractions of subterranean rock
Inventor: JAMES ANTHONY WHETTON
IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2019-05-08
Abstract: A formation model signal representing a formation model listing minerals present in the rock is generated or selected. The formation model signal is used to generate a formation mineral and fluid concentration data set signal. The first mineral and fluid concentration data set signal is used to calculate an elemental concentration signal representing a simulated log of elemental concentrations in the rock. A simulated energy spectrum signal and a simulated constraining log signal is forward modelled from the elemental concentration signal. A spectrum signal is obtained from gamma radiation detected when a neutron logging tool is operated in a borehole, and a constraining log signal representing one or more constraining log is also generated. The spectrum signal and the simulated energy spectrum signal are compared, as are the constraining log signal and the simulated constraining log signal, and error signals are determined. The formation mineral and fluid concentration data set signal is iteratively adjusted and the above steps repeated so as to select the formation mineral and fluid concentration data set which minimises the error signals.

Abstract: The digital personalized medicine system uses digital data to assess or diagnose symptoms of a subject to provide personalized or more appropriate therapeutic interventions and improved diagnoses. The use of prioritized questions and answers with associated feature importance can be used to assess mental function and allow a subject to be diagnosed with fewer questions, such that diagnosis can be repeated more often and allow the dosage to be adjusted more frequently. Pharmacokinetics of the subject can be estimated based on demographic data and biomarkers or measured, in order to determine a treatment plan for the subject. Also, biomarkers can be used to determine when the patient may be at risk for experiencing undesirable side effects and the treatment plan adjusted accordingly.

Filed: 2019-10-15
Abstract: Data processing apparatuses and methods of operating such data processing apparatuses are disclosed. Issue circuitry buffers operations prior to execution until operands required by the operations are available in a set of registers. A first load operation and a second load operation are identified in the issue circuitry, when both are dependent on a common operand, and when the common operand is available in the set of registers. Load circuitry has a first address generation unit to generate a first address for the first load operation and a second address generation unit to generate a second address for the second load operation. An address comparison unit compares the first address and the second address. The load circuitry is arranged to cause a merged lookup to be performed in local temporary storage which stores copies of data values from memory, when the address comparison unit determines that the first address and the second address differ by less than a predetermined address range characteristic of the local temporary storage

IPC: H04L67/50
Filed: 2020-12-22
Abstract: Identifying a message of interest exchanged between nodes in a network. The main embodiment is that the messages are transactions and the nodes are bank accounts in a banking network. Messages of interest are identified by: receiving information of nodes in the network and the messages exchanged between the nodes, and creating an individual set of interactions for each network node; determining a level of mutual interaction between nodes in the network using the individual set of interactions of each node, wherein a first node has a mutual interaction with a second node when the unique identifier of the second node is contained in the individual set of interactions of the first node and/or the unique identifier of a third node is contained in the individual set of interactions of each of the first and second node; and identify a message as a message of interest when the message is exchanged between nodes having a level of mutual interaction below a predetermined threshold (i.e. indicating little or no previous message exchange between them). Messages could alternatively be email messages or social media network exchanges. Messages between nodes with little mutual interaction are more likely fraudulent and worth further investigation.
