IPC: G07G3/00
Filed: 2021-01-05
Abstract: Synchronizing a barcode decode or scale operation with a video camera to improve accuracy of retail POS loss prevention. A system includes a video camera to capture a set of frames associated with a target object, the set of frames having a first number of frames; a symbology reader (barcode reader) to decode a symbology attached to the target object and generate a signal based on the successful decoding of the symbology attached to the target object. A processor analyses a sub‐set of the set of frames based on the signal, the sub‐set of the frames having a second number of frames that is smaller than the first number of frames. A further system comprises an electronic scale to generate the signal, based on measuring a weight associated with the target object that is greater than a threshold weight, rather than the barcode reader.

Title: Thermal energy storage
Inventor: RICHARD WILLIAM YEMM
IPC: F24H7/02
Filed: 2021-04-02
Abstract: A thermal store comprises a tank 100 to contain a fluid 103 (e.g. water). First and second portions 101,101B of the tank each have a first end vertically spaced from a second whereby the respective first and second ends of the portions fluidically communicate with one another. A first energy transfer component (e.g. resistive heating elements 105) in the first portion heats the fluid and a second energy transfer element (e.g. finned heat exchanger 106) in the second portion draws thermal energy from the fluid. Operation of the first and/or second energy transfer element(s) causes convective flow of the fluid from the first element to the second and from the second element to the first. Ideally, a controller operates at least one of the first and second elements in accordance with a demand signal such that a temperature difference between fluid in upper and lower portions of the tank is less than 20 degrees Celsius. An energy storage tank formed from a material having a linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) greater than 30 x 10-6 at 20 degrees Celsius, which is ideally disposed within a support made from a material having a lesser CTE, is also claimed.

Title: Modular aquatic habitat
Inventor: GALEN YARROW FULFORD
IPC: E02B3/04
Filed: 2021-10-27
Abstract: A modular aquatic habitat, which may be suspended or otherwise located in a body of water, comprising a number of aquatic habitat modules 603 which in turn may comprise a symmetric pair of half-shells. The separation between the half-shells can be incrementally adjusted to limit the size of species able to inhabit a particular aquatic habitat module. These modules may be shaped such that the habitat comprises a tessellated structure which, when tightly packed, water is unable to pass through other than as permitted by the habitat, or may be spaced apart to provide fissure-like voids. Apertures in the modules provide fluid flow paths through and/or within the habitat, and the modules are hollow so as to allow retention of growth and/or planting media to support an aquatic ecosystem. The modules also provide habitats for marine creatures. The habitat is capable of indefinite expansion in three dimensions and of providing complex and varied void spaces and habitats by varying shell separations, module sizes, shapes, materials, surface structures and features, and spacings (or lack thereof) between adjacent modules.
