Title: A deployable cup holder
Inventor: MINWOO CHOI
IPC: B60N3/10
Filed: 2017-09-04
Abstract: A deployable cup-holder 100 has a collapsible side structure 110 extending between a top 112 and bottom 114, and around a perimeter of, the cup-holder. In a deployed configuration the top and bottom are spaced apart in an axial direction so the cup-holder may hold a liquid containing receptacle in the formed recess. A restoring means 120, such as one or more magnetic portions 122, is configured to urge the side structure to collapse into a collapsed configuration with the top and bottom adjacent to each other. The side structure may be formed from a number of arcuate or spiral portions 130,132, such as rings extending about the perimeter. Preferably neighbouring rings are attached by a number of discrete couplings (fig.2,134), angularly offset from one another between successive pairs, the rings may flex so the couplings are spaced apart in the axial direction when deployed. Successive rings may reduce in size such that the rings form a flat surface when in the collapsed configuration, which may be flush with a top side of a table in which the cup holder is situated. The restoring means may be selectively activated by using an electromagnet or a shape-memory material.

Title: Multiple polarization fiber optic telemetry
Inventor: DANIEL JOSHUA STARK
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2015-12-09
Abstract: A downhole tool apparatus is disclosed that includes an input fiber optic cable coupled to an electro-optic modulator. The input fiber optic cable propagates first and second actively orthogonally polarized light beams. The electro-optic modulator modulates the first and second actively orthogonally polarized light beams in response to a measurement data stream (e.g., telemetry data). A single light beam comprising the modulated first and second actively orthogonally polarized light beams is propagated over an output fiber optic cable so that the modulated first and the second actively orthogonally polarized light beams propagate the same data through the output fiber optic cable. Recovery circuitry coupled to the single light beam is then used to detect, demodulate, and decode the original measurement data stream.

Title: Systems for machine learning, optimising and managing local multi-asset flexibility of distributed energy storage resources
Inventor: SIMON RICHARD DANIEL
IPC: H02J3/38
Filed: 2018-06-22
Abstract: A system for optimising and managing distributed energy storage resources gathers data and monitors usage of end devices and resources at remote sites in a network, and determines a battery charging plan for charging/discharging batteries at the remote sites, where the batteries may be electric vehicle (EV) batteries. End devices at the remote sites control charging in accordance with their charging plans, but also implement a charging protocol to respond to local constraints, congestion, or local limits, to optimise energy transmission. The charging protocol begins charging/discharging at an initial rate, periodically increments the rate towards a target rate according to the charging plan, determines that a local limit has been reached, and in response reduces the rate. The local limit may be determined by monitoring network voltage or frequency. The battery charging plan may be adjusted for market and tariff signals, weather data, location constraints, and energy use by the building or vehicle at the remote location, or predictions and models of usage patterns and network performance. Also claimed are a system for classification of events in an energy system using a recurrent neural network, and a method of recording energy charging events in a mesh-chain.

IPC: G01C21/20
Filed: 2018-12-11
Abstract: A method of automatically assigning segments of trajectories 110, 120, 130 to corresponding floors of a building 100, comprising: receiving height (i.e. pressure, inertial, GPS data) and ambient data (i.e. Wi-Fi (RTM) data) corresponding to a trajectory from a mobile device 152; and segmenting the trajectory using the height data, such that a change in the height data greater than a threshold marks an end region of one segment and a start region of an adjacent segment, and wherein a change in the height data between adjacent segments of the trajectory is referred to as a height link. Similarity values for pairs of segments are then calculated based on the ambient signal data, and the segments are grouped using the similarity values. A check for errors in the grouping is then carried out using the height links, and the grouping is accepted if there are no errors, or if there are errors, the grouping is re-run and/or one or more segments are removed from the grouping process. Once the grouping is accepted, they are assigned to floor identifiers.
