Title: Signal delay measurement
Inventor: JAMES NEIL ROBINSON
IPC: H04N17/04
Filed: 2019-09-10
Abstract: Rolling shutter compensation during signal delay measurement, comprising: displaying a video test pattern n a display, the pattern having a temporal even, capturing a video of the display with a camera; monitoring regions of the display in the video, detecting times at which the temporal event appears in the monitored regions, and extrapolating the detected times to calculate the time at which the temporal event would appear at a selected region of the video. Preferably the camera is a rolling shutter camera with an update direction perpendicular to the update direction of the display. Preferably this is used to measure the delay between the video signal carrying the detected test pattern and another video or audio signal. The temporal event may correspond to a peak or variation in a feature such as colour or opacity of the pattern. The purpose of the embodiments is to ensure synchronisation of multiple audio and/or video signals e.g. different camera angles of a single live event.

Title: Temperature-adjustable ceiling panel
Inventor: GREGORY COOPER
IPC: F24D3/12
Filed: 2019-10-10
Abstract: A temperature adjustable ceiling panel 10 comprises a panel body 12 having a room-facing surface 16, a rear surface 14 and a perimeter including at least one side surface 18. The panel includes a fluid conduit 26 in the body having an inlet 28 and outlet 30 which are inboard of the side surface(s) and ideally face a direction normal to the rear surface. The rear surface has at least one conduit access opening 20 through which the inlet and/or outlet are accessible. Ideally a cover 24 blanks the opening(s) prior to use, preventing soiling of the conduit during transport, etc. During installation, the inlet and outlet may be connected to similar, adjacent panels via joining conduits (42, figure 5). An end portion (44, figure 6) of the joining conduit is ideally of smaller diameter than a central portion (46, figure 6) so it may be received in the access opening. Since these connections are ideally in a direction normal to the rear face, movement of the joining conduit when pressurised with fluid, e.g. water, does not affect the relative location of adjacent panels. The room-facing surface ideally includes apertures 40a. A floor, wall or ceiling panel is also claimed.

Filed: 2022-07-11
Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the internal resistance of an ultra-low internal resistance power battery includes two contact patches 1 connected with measurement equipment, the two patches making contact with the two ends of a battery to be tested. One contact patch is fixed to a fixed polar plate 2; the other contact patch is attached to a movable polar plate 3 which slides on a sliding seat 6 in a groove in a base 4. The movable contact is moved along the base by a power source 5 and a force sensor 7 detects when a contact of adequate pressure with the battery is made. Batteries of different sizes can therefore be tested. The internal resistance testing method comprises first testing the resistance of the apparatus itself by placing one or more test pieces of resistive material between the contacts 1 and applying a voltage. The resistance of the apparatus can then be subtracted from the measured resistance when a battery is tested, giving the true internal resistance of the battery.
