Title: Method for identification of digital content
Inventor: IAN STEVENSON
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2017-04-03
Abstract: In a first method step 101, a digital content element is provided. The digital content element may be a particular data file that is of interest to a searching entity. In a second step 102, the digital content element is compared with a first set of data which could be provided by a combination of a second data-set and a third data-set. The first set of data is a collection of known digital content elements that are of interest to a searching entity, for example contraband digital content elements (illegal copies) or digital content elements owned by or represented by the searching entity. In a third method step 103, the digital content element is identified as known if the digital content element is detected within the first set of data. The second data-set could represent data that is of interest, while the third data-set could represent data that is irrelevant. These data-sets can be used to avoid false positives.

Title: Multiple output battery system with alternator architectures
Inventor: MIKE RICHARDSON
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2017-08-01
Abstract: A multiple output battery system 100 (e.g. for a hybrid electric vehicle, HEV), having a first leg 16 connected in series with a second leg 18, also includes an energy balancing device 15 to transfer charge between the first and second legs. The energy balancing device monitors one or more properties (e.g. charge level or load applied) of the first leg and/or the second leg and controls the transfer of charge between the first and second legs to adjust the level of charge (or state of charge) of each of the legs, based on the monitored properties. The first or second leg is adapted to be connected to a generator 10. The first leg may supply a higher voltage than the second leg and energy storage capacity of the first leg may be less than that of the second leg. A voltage converter (e.g. inverter 12) converts the voltage of the first leg to that of the second leg, or vice versa, to enable charge transfer between the legs. A switching element (e.g. transistor 153) and an inductor 150 are in electrical communication with the first and second legs, and charge transfer between the legs is controlled by operating the switching element to control the current flow through the inductor. A diode 154 prevents the flow of current from the switching element to a negative terminal of the battery.

Title: Parcel Box
Inventor: WARREN JAMES DAVIDSON
IPC: A47G29/16
Filed: 2017-09-06
Abstract: A box for receiving parcels which can be attached to the front door of the house by means of pivoting latches or hooks 1. The hooks/latches are rotated inwards to push through the letterbox and then rotate outwards to lock behind hooks (or plates or latches) already on the back of the front door. The opening of the box is a cradle 5 and when the cradle handle 6 is pulled downwards this opens to allow the parcel to be deposited. When the door is closed the parcel will fall onto brushes 9 which break the parcel's fall into the box. The shape of the cradle when opened again would block access to the parcel below. There is a separate door 11 with a lock 12 for the owner to retrieve the parcel. Alternative models may also issue a receipt when the parcel has been deposited. This could be recognised by a sensor on the brush being triggered when the parcel falls onto it, or a weighing mechanism in the box.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multipurpose combined flexible floating breakwater wherein each water-surface wave absorbing structure comprises a rubber buoy 1, a bearing rope 2 which passes through a central hole of the rubber buoy and active shackles 3 connected at two ends of the bearing rope. The breakwater also has anti-sliding devices 4 arranged at two ends of the rubber buoy to prevent the rubber buoy from sliding on the bearing rope. The breakwater has a connecting structure comprising a cross shaped pull ring 7 and a connecting anchor chain 8. The cross shaped pull ring is preferably used for connecting adjacent water-surface wave absorbing structures in different rows. The mooring may be achieved through a mooring system comprising a mooring rope 9 with anchors. The invention reduces the weight and the manufacturing cost of the floating breakwater by preferably using an inflatable floodable rubber buoy with an air chamber 5 and a ballast water chamber 6. After the work is finished, the air and the seawater in the rubber buoy are discharged and the rubber buoy is folded so that a volume is reduced to facilitate transportation. The shackles used in the connecting structure and the mooring improves the installation and disassembly efficiency of the breakwater.
