Title: Player input motion compensation by anticipating motion vectors
Inventor: MICHAEL KOPIETZ
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2018-04-20
Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing latency through motion estimation and compensation incorporate a client device that uses lookup tables from a remote server to match, tag, and sum motion vectors. When a remote server transmits encoded video frames to the client, the client decodes them and applies the summed motion vectors to estimate motion. The technology also generate motion vectors based on predetermined criteria and transmit them and invalidators to a client, which caches them. The server instructs the client to receive input and use it to match to cached motion vectors or invalidators. The technology also caches repetitive motion vectors and transmits previously generated motion vector libraries to a client. The server instructs the client to calculate a motion estimate and instructs the client to update the stored motion vector library, so that the client applies the stored library to initiate motion prior to receiving actual motion vector data.

Title: Nozzle and beverage preparation machine
Inventor: Dennis Christiaan Kemp
IPC: B67D1/14
Filed: 2020-06-24
Abstract: A nozzle 20 has a fluid flow passage 26 which defines a fluid flow path from an inlet end of said passage towards an outlet end of said passage. A restrictor 29 is movable under the control of an actuation system 27 relative to the passage 26 to vary the minimum cross-sectional area of the fluid flow path through the passage. The restrictor 29 is moved to project into the passage to provide a restricted opening in the passage or removed from the passage to allow an unrestricted flow through the passage. The nozzle 20 is particularly suitable for use in a beverage preparation machine to generate microfoam in a beverage. When the restrictor 29 is retracted from the passage 26, the passage and the restrictor can be cleaned by flushing the nozzle. The restrictor 29 may be a pin-like member aligned with the passage and moveable parallel to the axis of the passage.

Title: Systems and methods for sealing motor lead extensions
Inventor: ILYA GOLBERG
IPC: H01R13/533
Filed: 2019-09-17
Abstract: Systems and methods for sealing a pothead connection to prevent external fluids from leaking into an ESP motor. In one embodiment, a pothead housing has a set of sealing assemblies, where each of the sealing assemblies has a sealing body that is positioned in a port of the motor's housing to form a direct seal against both a corresponding motor lead extension cable and the motor housing. The sealing assembly has a pothead terminal that is electrically connected to the conductor of the corresponding cable. When the pothead is secured to the motor housing, the pothead terminal engages a corresponding motor housing terminal positioned in the port. The motor housing terminal is connected to the motor windings, so this electrically connects the motor lead to the windings. An insulator is positioned to electrically isolate the motor housing terminal from the housing itself.

Title: Computer-implemented method and system
Inventor: ROBERT LEE
IPC: H04L67/306
Filed: 2021-07-19
Abstract: A user accesses content in conjunction with a media analysis platform. Subsequent to a user having viewed (or otherwise accessed) a particular piece of media content a processing resource associated with a client profile (i.e. content owner) receives a notification of the access by the user associated with a user profile. The processing resource accesses a data structure to determine user permissions corresponding to the user and the media content which has been accessed and a data structure associated with the media content to obtain a client contact identifier for the client. Based on the user permissions (i.e. if sharing has been specified to be allowed in the user profile), a contact identifier for the user is retrieved and a contact session is initialised using the retrieved client identifier and user identifier. For example, an email (possibly an advert) may be initialised comprising the client and user’s email addresses to allow the client (content owner) to email the user which consumed their content. The user may set their contact or personal data sharing preference using a user interface slider or drop-down list. A second method relates to enabling the user to initialise contact with the client again factoring user permissions.

Title: Interface between a surgical robot arm and a robotic surgical instrument
Inventor: KENNETH FOCHT
IPC: A61B34/30
Filed: 2022-01-20
Abstract: A drive unit for a surgical robot arm to engage surgical instrument. The drive unit comprises a plurality of drive interface elements 403 each having a longitudinal axis 403a. Each drive interface element 403 is driven by an actuator 404 so as to cause that drive interface element 403 to be displaced along its longitudinal axis in a first direction. When the surgical robot arm engages the robotic surgical instrument 301, each drive interface element 403 has a common longitudinal axis 403a, 503a so it is aligned with a respective instrument interface element 503 in the instrument. Each drive interface element 403 can then displace a corresponding instrument interface element 503 along the common longitudinal axis 403a, 503a in the first direction. The drive interface elements 403 can be cylindrical rods. Rotation of a ball screw adapter by the actuators can cause the interface elements to longitudinally extend. The actuators can be colinear with the drive interface elements 403. A load cell unit pad 405 can be placed at the end of each drive interface element to sense the load applied to one or more of the drive interface elements by the actuators.
