Title: A dispensing device
Inventor: KEVIN MAGUIRE
IPC: A61M35/00
Filed: 2019-12-20
Abstract: This invention relates to a dispensing device for repeatedly and accurately dispensing micro- doses of a compound such as cannabidiol (CBD) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The dispensing device comprises a body having a cartridge 5 and a drive mechanism 7. The cartridge has a reservoir 31 containing the compound, a discharge outlet 15, a seal nut 37 configured to be advanced along the cartridge towards the discharge outlet, and a leadscrew 33 having a helical thread engaging the seal nut. The drive mechanism comprises a push button 11, a helical drive cam 25, a helical drive cam coupling 21 connecting the cam to the button, and a drive shaft 29 coupled between the helical drive cam and the leadscrew. Depression of the push button will cause the helical drive cam to rotate the drive shaft, which in turn will rotate the leadscrew by a predetermined revolution amount, which in tum will advance the seal nut towards the discharge outlet. The same predetermined amount of compound is thus discharged from the outlet each time.

Title: Managing display brightness of a mobile device
Inventor: MARTIN R PAIS
IPC: H04M1/72454
Filed: 2020-02-27
Abstract: A method includes detecting a temperature value of a mobile device 100 and determining, by a processor 102, if the temperature value is greater than a threshold temperature value. In response to determining that the device is hotter than the threshold temperature value, video data is retrieved for several video frames. The method determines if the video data contains a transition from a first video frame to a second video frame that includes a change in light level that is greater than a light level threshold. In response to determining that the video data contains such a change in light level, a display 130 in the device is triggered to reduce a first light level associated with the second video frame to a second light level when the second video frame is displayed. This may prevent viewer from noticing the dimming of the display. If no transition with a change in luminance greater than the threshold is found the method may determine a time period over which the brightness is lowered gradually. Also claimed are a corresponding device and computer program.

Title: Methods and apparatus to optimize steam header blending and gas turbine loading in combined cycle power plants
Inventor: Ranjit R Rao
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2016-07-19
Abstract: A method to optimise ramp rates in combined cycle power plants comprises predicting a load setpoint for a gas turbine, and predicting a steam ramp setpoint for a steam generator associated with the gas turbine. A position of a bypass valve of the steam generator is determined based on the predicted setpoints. A weighting factor associated with either or both of the setpoints is adjusted based on the determined bypass valve position, in order to decrease an amount of steam flowing through the valve. This allows the combined cycle power plant overall to be operated more efficiently with less steam wastage.
