Title: Improvements in or relating to sulfur based pesticides
Inventor: RICHARD J MILLING
IPC: A01P7/04
Filed: 2019-07-17
Abstract: Optimised sulfur based pesticides using sulfosuccinates alone and in combination with an anionic surfactant to improve the retention of sulfur on plant vegetation from aqueous spray solutions. The pesticide may be sulfur, which may be administered as fungicide. The succinate may be a monoester or a diester, preferably dioctyl sulfosuccinate. A claimed formulation comprises sulfur, a sulfosuccinate and an anionic surfactant selected from, phosphate esters, sulphonic acids and their salts, monosulphate esters, naphthalene sulphonic acid derivatives, sulphonated vegetable oils, sulphonated esters of natural fatty acids, carboxylic acid derivatives, alkyl substituted succinic acid and polycarboxylic acid salts. A claimed solid formulation comprises from 25 to 85 wt% sulfur, from 0.125 to 30 wt% sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate and from 0.125 to 30 wt% sodium lauryl sulfate. The solid formulation is delivered to the vegetation as an aqueous spray solution. The formulations are used to prevent or reduce fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew or Septoria diseases on fruit, vegetables, ornamentals, grapevines and cereals, e.g. wheat.

Title: Text based image search
Inventor: SHAOGANG GONG
IPC: G06N20/00
Filed: 2019-08-15
Abstract: Building a machine learning model for finding visual targets from text queries, comprising receiving a set of training data comprising text attribute labelled images. Each of said images having more than one text attribute label. A first vector space is received, comprising a mapping of words, the mapping defining relationships between words. A visual feature vector space is generated by grouping images of the set of training data having similar attribute labels. Each attribute label is mapped within the training data set on to the first vector space to form a second vector space and the visual feature vector space is fused with said second vector space to form a third vector space. A similarity matching model is generated from the third vector space. The similarity matching model may be generated using a mean square error loss function. The textual terms within the first vector space may include the words of the text labels of the images within the training data set.

Title: Composite gas sampling system
Inventor: KENNETH O THOMPSON
IPC: G01N1/26
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: System 10, within housing 11, samples vaporised and conditioned hydrocarbon from a cryogenic liquid source during transfer. Selected volumes of vaporised gas are received at selected times by a vaporised gas port into first, second and third gas stream feed lines. The first feed line is connectable to a gas analyser (e.g. gas chromatograph). A speed loop is connected to the second feed line. The (perhaps three) removable sample cylinders 18 connected to the speed loop collect fresh, non-composite samples. Accumulator 20 connected to the third feed line receives selected volumes of gas to create a composite sample. Pump 14 maintains accumulator pressure at a level to prevent dew point dropout. The (perhaps four) removable sample grab cylinders 16 receive composite samples. Controller 12 controls the operation. Residual gas may be removed from the system following transfer, perhaps by a gas purge system or an evacuation means.

Title: Object recognition via object data database and augmentation of 3D image data
Inventor: David Selviah
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2020-02-28
Abstract: Embodiments provide an image processing method, program, and apparatus, for using a database of data manifestations of objects to identify those objects in image data representing a domain or space containing objects to be identified. The image processing involves first obtaining image data comprising readings providing a 3D representation of a domain then converting the image data to a domain 3D vector field consisting of vectors representing the readings as vectors. A defined transform is then used to convert the derived information into vector for accessing an object database wherein each of a plurality of candidate objects is, in a first representation, in a predefined format with object metadata and in a second representation stored as an object 3D vector field having been derived from the aforementioned transform. The domain 3D vector field is compared with the object 3d vector field by finding at least one maximum, by relative rotation of the domain vector field with respect to the vectors of the object 3D vector field, of a degree of match between the vectors of the domain 3D vector field and the vectors of the object 3D vector field and for each of the at least one maximum determining whether or not the respective candidate object is present in the imaged domain. If the candidate object is determined to be present then placing the predetermined format data representation of the respective candidate object in the obtained image at an orientation determined by the relative rotation providing the maximum degree of match or annotating the obtained image data with the metadata of the candidate object determined to be present in the imaged domain.

Title: Method and system for detecting peaks in a signal indicative of a heartrate
Inventor: CONNOR DAVID DRISCOLL
IPC: A61B5/352
Filed: 2020-11-23
Abstract: A method of detecting peaks such as R-peaks and removing spurious peaks in a heartrate signal such as an ECG signal. Subject specific information indicative of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal is obtained S101. A signal is recorded S102 and the measured values are filtered S103 and candidate peaks detected S104. The amplitude of the candidate peaks are compared with a threshold, and removed if the amplitude is less than the threshold S105. The threshold is determined at least partly based on the subject specific information. The threshold may change if the signal-to-noise ratio increases or decreases, for example when the subject exercises. The subject specific information may be an activity level of the subject or a characteristic such as age, weight or body fat level. The peaks may be used to determine the inter-beat interval of the person. Also disclosed is a wearable article with an electronics module for performing the method.
