Title: A flexible compliant line for providing a linkage between a first structure and a second structure
Inventor: PETER CRONIN GORDON
IPC: F15B15/20
Filed: 2016-02-22
Abstract: An elongate, flexible line (16, Fig 1) has an elongate tubular sheath (18, Fig 4) of braided material. The sheath is able to change reversibly and repeatedly in length and its braided structure is such that an increase in length of the sheath is accompanied by a decrease in its lateral dimension. An impervious flexible bladder 28 within the sheath defines a fluid-containing internal chamber (36, Fig 4) acted on by the sheath so that the volume of the chamber varies with the length of the sheath. A pressure source 42 is arranged to pressurise the chamber. A passage 40 communicates with the chamber and incorporates a restriction 44. In operation the pressurised bladder urges the sheath to expand laterally and so to contract in length. An increase in extension of the sheath causes fluid to be exhausted from the chamber through the restriction, increasing chamber pressure and providing a damping force opposed to the sheath's extension. A method of tethering first and second structures and a submersible linear actuator are also disclosed.

Title: Data migration method of storage system
Inventor: HIDENORI SUZUKI
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2014-04-22
Abstract: In this volume migration method, a migration-source P-VOL and a migration-destination S-VOL forming a volume pair in a migration-source storage system are migrated to a migration-destination storage system uninterruptedly. First, a logical volume (migration-destination P-VOL), in which the storage area of the migration-source P-VOL in the migration-source storage system is mapped, and a migration-destination S-VOL, which becomes a replicated volume of the logical volume, are created. The migration-destination storage system attaches, to the migration-destination P-VOL and the migration-destination S-VOL, the same identifier as the identifier that the migration-source P-VOL and the migration-source S-VOL have, causing a host computer to recognize that the migration-destination P-VOL and the migration-destination S-VOL are the same volumes as the migration-source P-VOL and the migration-source S-VOL. Subsequently, an access path from the host computer to the migration-source P-VOL is switched to the migration-destination P-VOL. Thereafter, a volume pair is created between the migration-destination P-VOL and the migration-destination S-VOL, and the duplicated data of the migration-destination P-VOL is stored in the migration-destination S-VOL. Finally, the storage area of the migration-destination P-VOL is moved to the storage area in the migration-destination storage system, whereby a migration process is completed.

Abstract: Processing system, for panoramic cameras, configured to: access stored priority/value data for multiple roads/areas; identify a location; determine the priority/value for the identified location using the priority/value data. Images/video of locations that have high priority (eg. above a threshold because current video data for the area does not provide sufficient extent/degree of coverage of the region, is low quality or out of date) may be captured or capture rate/quality may be increased, while capture rate/quality for low priority locations (eg. below a threshold because current video data for the area is already high quality or was recently updated) may be reduced. Visualisation data collected may comprise pictures, depth/range information, composite images, coloured/skinned/textured 3D models or skeletons. Depth data may be gathered by laser scanners. Processor may be incorporated in a network enabled portable device (eg. smart phone, tablet, laptop) or used to control a remotely controlled or autonomous vehicle, self-driving car, robot or drone.
