Inventor: Warren James Patmore
IPC: B65D71/00
Filed: 2016-01-18
Abstract: A tray for carrying one to four glasses in which the tray comprises four slideable sections, wherein each section has a central hole to locate a single drinking vessel. In the extended position, a user can carry four separate glasses, whilst in the closed position the tray can hold a single glass. The tray will preferably be constructed from plastic and be used in a variety of situations and events. The tray will preferably have finger placing to give the tray extra support in the extend position. An insert for the tray aperture will preferably be fitted to the holes to provide a means for carrying different sized glasses. When in the extended position, each single tray section will have a semi-circle cut out which will match the reciprocal shape on the next tray to provide extra strength and support. Each tray will have a stop position located internally to prevent the trays sliding apart.

Title: Far field interference mitigation by relative frequency ordering
Inventor: David robison hall
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2016-01-19
Abstract: Overhead for data rewriting in a hard disc drive is reduced or eliminated by the grouping of logical zones in proximity to other zones with similar writing frequencies. Cold zones, with lower writing frequency are written near other cold zones, and hot zones, with higher writing frequency, near other hot zones, within a multiplicity of realms on the data storage surface. Substantial reductions in far track interference (FTI) rewrites are achievable in comparison with previous FTI mitigation algorithms. A relative frequency ordering (RFO) array 400 has elements (fig. 6, 1-13) corresponding to the numerical label of each zone within a realm, with corresponding index numbers ordered from minimum writing frequency up to the maximum writing frequency. Zones may be swapped e.g. 604 to reduce the difference of write frequencies between adjacent zones. A frequency neighbourhood array may be used to point to boundaries of frequency neighbourhoods 404 and 406 in the RFO array. The boundaries of the neighbourhoods may be changed to maintain equal zone writes in each neighbourhood.

Patent GB-2548408-A (GB)
Title: Turbine arrangement
Inventor: JAMES ALEXANDER MCEWEN
IPC: F02B37/18
Filed: 2016-03-18
Abstract: A turbine bypass valve comprising a valve member 241, operable to open or close an aperture 23 between the upstream and downstream sides of the turbine, and moved by a first actuator arm 25. A second actuator including a piston 31 connected to the gas upstream of the valve is forced by the pressure of the gas against the valve member, thereby urging the valve towards the closed position. The valve member is thereby balanced and may be closed with less force by the first actuator arm 25. The piston may be larger, smaller or the same size as the aperture such that the valve member is urged towards the closed position, the open position or there is no net force on the valve member. The piston may have a curved lower portion 312 abutting the valve and may be a sphere. The turbine may be a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine.
Patent GB-2554411-A (GB)
Title: Analytical test device
Inventor: ANDREY NIKOLAENKO
IPC: G01N21/31
Filed: 2016-09-26
Abstract: Apparatus 1 includes a first light emitter 2 for emitting around a first wavelength; a second light emitter 3 for emitting around a second wavelength; a photodetector 4. The two emitters 2, 3 independently illuminate photodetector 4 via optical path 7, the latter comprising a sample receiving portion 8. At portion 8, a normalised spatial intensity profile generated by the first emitter 2 is substantially equal to that generated by the second emitter 3. This may be achieved by slit, integrating sphere, beam splitters, fibre couplers, or stacked emitters where one is transparent to the wavelength emitted by the other. Emitters may be arrayed in a chessboard pattern; an image sensor may be used. In use, the emitters are alternately activated to obtain a first and second measurement and the difference is calculated by subtracting the two. This may improve signal to noise by removing background absorbance or scatter.

Title: Hydrocarbon-emissions monitoring
Inventor: AED M DUDAR
IPC: G07C5/08
Filed: 2017-09-28
Abstract: A first vehicle 30 includes a hydrocarbon sensor and a controller in communication with the hydrocarbon sensor. The controller is programmed to receive data from the hydrocarbon sensor indicating hydrocarbon emissions and determine that the hydrocarbon emissions originated in a second, leading, vehicle 32 and exceed a predetermined threshold. The controller may further be programmed to transmit a message reporting the hydrocarbon emission to a remote server, either in the second vehicle 38, or at a remote location 38. The determination that an elevated concentration of hydrocarbon emissions are due to a second vehicle includes detecting a change in position of the second vehicle relative to the first vehicle and detecting hydrocarbon emissions after the change in position, and possibly includes causing the first vehicle to change position relative to the first vehicle. A ventilation system may increase recirculation based on the detection of increased hydrocarbon emissions. A third vehicle 74 may be requested to validate the determination that a second vehicle is exceeding a threshold level of hydrocarbon emissions. The first vehicle may be trailing, following, or behind the second vehicle, which may have out-dated, missing or disabled on-board diagnostic systems. The invention may lead to reduced hydrocarbon emissions.
