Title: Sitting posture for biometric identification
Inventor: TIMOTHY WINTHROP KINGSBURY
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2017-08-18
Abstract: Biometric data comprising of user posture data is obtained, using one or more sensors disposed in a seat. A processor is used to identify a user based on the user posture data, such as weight data, weight distribution data, seat configuration data, seat contact data, and distance data. Access may also be granted based on this identification to devices such as an address book, a communication application or a navigation system. The system may be used for permitting the engine of a vehicle to operate. Settings of devices such as the seat settings may also be adjusted based on the identified user. A camera may be used to provide input and posture data may be obtained repeatedly over a period of time.

Title: Data processing system using directed acyclic graph and method of use thereof
Inventor: TOBY WILLIAM SIMPSON
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2018-03-26
Abstract: A data processing system includes a plurality of data processing nodes that are coupled together via a data communication network arrangement. The data processing system distributes a plurality of computing tasks across the plurality of data processing nodes according to a directed acyclic graph (DAG) allocation arrangement associated with a ledger arrangement operable to control or record execution of the plurality of computing tasks. The DAG allocation arrangement employs a consensus voting arrangement employing recursive elections of nodes or users of the data processing system to control operation of the DAG allocation arrangement to incentivise participation of the plurality of data processing nodes to process the plurality of computing tasks. The incentive may be a token reward or an enabling to participate in the consensus governing the ledger arrangement. The DAG allocation arrangement may establish proof for a next block, while the nodes obtain votes for a candidate node to be elected leader in relation to the next block. The leader may be awarded a reward for closing the block.

Title: Dispensing system with securement
Inventor: MARK ANTHONY BRADLEY
IPC: A47K5/12
Filed: 2017-10-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to dispensing systems that include containers used to contain fluids that need to be dispensed in controlled quantities. In particular, the present invention relates to a dispensing system which can be readily and securely fastened to the walls and other operating surfaces associated with bathrooms, changing rooms, machine shops and the like. In water closets at places of work, hospitals, laboratories, workshops and similar places, there are many individuals who require access to liquids such as liquid soap, oils and production process chemicals etc. usually have a reservoir that must be filled from a larger supply container. The filling operation tends to be complicated and thus time-consuming and with the likelihood of the creation of a mess. It is often difficult to feed the product directly into the dispenser container by pouring the liquid from a big supply tank. It is important that the fluids - whether for lubricating, cleaning or production processes - are managed such that only the correct fluids are. In the installation of a liquid dispensing system, factors of convenience in ensuring that the dispensers are maintained at a suitable level must be weighed against security of product. Many "universal" systems relinquish security and stock control and/or are complex to utilise. The present invention seeks to provide a solution to the problems addressed above. The present invention seeks to provide a dispensing system and a container that enables simple checking of fluid levels and simple re-filling thereof.

Title: Shape-changing multi-functional vessel berthing device having five degrees of freedom
Inventor: CHENGJUN WANG
IPC: B63B59/00
Filed: 2017-10-31
Abstract: A shape-changing multi-functional vessel berthing device having five degrees of freedom, comprising a mounting base (1), parallel berthing supports (2), an oval chuck base (3), magnetic chucks (4), and an electromagnetic brake (5). During berthing, the parallel berthing supports (2) drive the oval chuck base (3) such that the magnetic chucks (4) extend from the vessel hull, and the powering on of the magnetic chucks (4) generates a magnetic force which joins the hull of the lead vessel to a dock or other vessel hull, thus berthing the lead vessel. During unberthing, power to the magnetic chucks (4) is cut, and the parallel berthing supports (2) drive the oval chuck base (3) to retract back into the vessel hull. Three telescoping cylinders inside the parallel berthing supports (2) are either double-acting air cylinders or double-acting hydraulic cylinders. In addition to connection support and telescoping functions, the telescoping cylinders are further provided with a bidirectional pressure-retaining vibration reduction function. Multi-site deployment makes it possible to smoothly berth vessels in multiple locations, greatly reducing the force of impact with the dock, offshore platform, or other vessel during berthing, and thus ensuring berthing safety. The present invention has the further advantages of a simple structure, high safety, good stability, and convenient operation and maintenance.
