Title: Determination of continuous user interaction and intent through measurement of force variability
Inventor: MATTHEW ATWOOD WHITAKER
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 2017-04-25
Abstract: A system for controlling a vehicle 100 remotely, the vehicle 100 comprising electronically actuated steering 432, drive 430 and brake systems. The system further comprises a control module 438 which is configured to receive variations in user input forces applied to a mobile or remote touch-sensitive device 410 over a period of time.

Title: Method and apparatus for assessing fluid flow
Inventor: Stuart ellison
IPC: G01P5/26
Filed: 2018-09-03
Abstract: A method of assessing fluid flow in a conduit, the fluid comprising hydrocarbons, comprises: measuring optical variances resulting from at least one circumferential mode of vibration of the conduit by directing a monochromatic light source, such as from a laser vibrometer, onto an external surface of the conduit thereby providing a measured vibration of the conduit as a result of fluid flow in the conduit. The step of measuring optical variances from vibration of the conduit may generate a series of signal signatures. The data is then assessed, for example by using a Fourier Transform and a pre-trained algorithm, such as a neural network, to predict fluid flow at that point in the conduit, or upstream or downstream thereof. The method may determine kinetic energy, velocity, determine density, composition, flow rate, determine flow regime: determine wavy flow, stratified flow, annular flow, misty flow, bubble flow, etc. An associated apparatus is disclosed. The invention can provide a non-invasive method and apparatus for providing information on the nature of flow regimes in subsea pipelines, which can be useful to optimise production and reduce well testing and/or downtime.

Patent GB-2585345-A (GB)
Title: Global warming control
Inventor: EDWARD DAVID FURS
IPC: F25C3/00
Filed: 2019-04-20
Abstract: The application refers to a sea going vessel e.g. a barge that transforms sea water into elongated ice sheets that reflect solar heat from the earth. The hold 5 of the vessel stores liquid air that cools sea water that passes through an open ended metal tunnel 6,7 that runs from the stern to the bow of the vessel. The metal walls of the tunnel are chilled by the liquid air, thereby turning the sea water to slush and then ice as the vessel moves forward and pushes sea water into the tunnel. Within the tunnel at least one heat exchange moulding tube is position that creates a pipe-line within the elongated ice sheet. The pipe-line allows liquid air to be pumped into the ice sheet either via pumps 2 and the heat exchange mould or liquid pumps and fuel installations that may be established at regular intervals along the ice sheet, the liquid air maintains the temperature and quality of the ice lanes. The liquid air may be moved by the liquid air pumps 2, and the liquid air may be created using a pumping or compression system. Ten barges may advance in parallel to form larger ice sheets.
