Title: Improvements in or relating to field devices
Inventor: JEFFERY ALAN SEARS
IPC: G01N29/32
Filed: 2015-05-18
Abstract: A field device for measuring a property of a medium in a vessel, such as fluid in a pipe. The property may be density, viscosity, alcohol content, sugar content, contamination. The device is inserted through a wall (7, figure 1) of the vessel, and may have a mounting flange (18, figure 1) to engage with the vessel. A sensor 10, which may include a vibrating fork, produces a frequency signal depending on the property of the medium. Another sensor 11 measures temperature of the medium, allowing temperature compensation of frequency data. A processing facility 22 uses the sensor signals to generate an output indicative of whether the property is above or below a threshold. A communications facility 27 sends the output to a remote location. An operator interface 26 may allow setting of a threshold. An alarm or a switching operation may occur if a threshold is exceeded.

Title: Broadcast system and method
Inventor: MICHAEL LAING
IPC: H04N21/458
Filed: 2015-07-09
Abstract: A broadcast system includes a central broadcasting station 120 producing a stream of common broadcast content for transmission to a plurality of local units 140 which may be in venues such as licensed premises, hotels, leisure or retail centres or workplaces, and may have a storage unit 170. The common broadcast content may be distributed to the local units via a central unit 130. A custom content unit, which may be the central unit, stores custom content items for the local units. A production studio 180 may create the custom content items such as news items or promotional messages, and the local items may then download specific items of content or packages of content from the central unit, which are then stored in the local units storage unit 170. For example, an operator may decide locally to select certain promotional messages for playback at his particular location, from a menu of such items prepared by the studio 180 and stored on the central unit 130. A signal from the broadcast unit 110 controls when the local units cease to play common content and instead play the custom content that they have stored in their storage units.

Title: Electronic control device and method for rewriting data
Inventor: MIYAKE TOSHIFUMI
IPC: G11C16/16
Filed: 2014-02-25
Abstract: An electronic control device comprises a processor and a nonvolatile memory from which data can be erased in units of erase blocks and in which data can be rewritten in units of write blocks which are smaller than the units of erase blocks. The processor of the electronic control device erases a part of the data in the non-volatile memory in units of erase blocks and writes data into a part of the non-volatile memory in units of write blocks in response to an external data rewrite request. Thus the amount of external data transmitted to the electronic control device is reduced, and the time required for rewriting data in the non-volatile memory is reduced.

Title: Method and apparatus for processing wheel phase angle sensor signals in a tyre pressure monitoring device
Inventor: ROBERT MCKELLAR
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2016-04-22
Abstract: A method of processing an output of a wheel phase angle sensor of a wheel monitoring unit is disclosed, wherein: the sensor output is time sampled, the time samples being pre-processed and transformed into the frequency domain using a frequency transform such as Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT). The frequency transform coefficient corresponding to the fundamental frequency of the sensor output is identified and its phase is calculated. The calculated phase is taken as the phase of the sensor output, which may then be used in wheel auto-location on a vehicle. This method can be used in Wireless Auto Location (WAL) or Phase Auto Location (PAL) systems. The phase difference between two sets of time samples may be calculated to increase accuracy of the frequency of the sensor output signal. An All phase Fast Fourier Transform (ApFFT) may be performed on the data sample. A triangular window function may be applied to the sample data. Also claimed is a wheel monitoring unit comprising means to carry out the method.

Title: Resource Allocation
Inventor: George Malcolm Gilbert
IPC: H04L12/427
Filed: 2016-12-29
Abstract: In a network comprising a plurality of client network nodes 104, a token indicating amounts of a given type of finite resource previously allocated for use by each network node is passed around the nodes. A first network node receives the token which comprises an indication of a previously allocated amount of the resource that the first network node was previously allowed to use in the network. The first network node is allocated an amount of resource based on the previously allocated amount indicated in the token. An updated token is generated by inserting the new allocated amount into the received token. The updated token is transmitted to a second network node in the plurality. Each node receives an allocation an updates the token accordingly. Each node may be iteratively allocated an amount of resource based on amounts previously allocated to all nodes such that the finite resource allocated to each node is fairly and proportionally allocated according to need.

Abstract: A high voltage battery pack 20 includes a set of battery bricks 50, each having a positive and negative terminal. Each battery brick 50 is connected in series or in parallel to an adjacent battery brick 50 to generate a total voltage of the battery pack 20. A battery pack lower assembly 30 holds the battery bricks 50, and a battery pack upper assembly 40 includes a battery pack upper housing 84 and a circuit board 100 connected to the battery pack upper housing, the circuit board having connectors 92 attached thereto. The connectors 92 are positioned to come into physical contact with the terminals of the battery bricks 50 to generate the total voltage of the battery pack 20, and the battery pack upper housing 84 defines a physical separation distance 102 between the brick connectors and an exterior of the battery pack upper housing, which may be defined by a lower flange 90 at the end of a downwardly extending sidewall 88. In one aspect, the physical separation distance 102 is between 25 and 125 mm. The distance chosen means that when the upper housing is placed on the battery bricks, a user is prevented from touching the connectors when they come into contact with the battery bricks to generate the voltage of the battery pack.

Title: Interaction between blockchains
Inventor: NICHOLAS PENNINGTON
IPC: G06Q20/38
Filed: 2018-01-17
Abstract: A method implemented on a computing system enables an asset held on a ledger recorded on a first blockchain to be transacted on a ledger recorded on a second blockchain. An interledger transaction to transfer the asset from the first blockchain to the second blockchain is prepared. A transaction list of transactions linking the first blockchain to other blockchains is also prepared. This transaction list comprises the interledger transaction. The transaction list can then signed, and the interledger transaction and the transaction list are written to a block of the first blockchain. A second ledger transaction is obtained from the block of the first blockchain to record the asset on the second blockchain using the interledger transaction and the transaction list. An offchain transaction can be performed and reconciled utilising this method.
