IPC: A61B5/113
Filed: 2015-05-12
Abstract: An apparatus for visualisation of the respiratory cycle comprises an accelerometer 12 contained within a housing 10 placed in contact with a users body and configured to generate a signal in response to the bodys motion, and a processor 16 configured to receive the signal, process it and cause a display means 20 to display in real time a visual representation 24 of the users respiratory cycle. The apparatus can be a smart phone or a tablet device, and may be further configured to determine the respiratory rate and depth or regularity of breathing of the user, and display it along with a waveform representation of the breathing cycle. A waveform analysis in the frequency domain of the signal can identify periodic deflections of small amplitude and thus determine the heart rate and variability thereof, to display along with the respiratory data. The apparatus may comprise a user interface so that the user can provide instances at predetermined timepoints relative to the respiratory cycle, and the synchronisation can indicate the self-awareness of the user. The measured physiological parameters can be compared to predetermined thresholds and a notification can be issued if it is reached.

Title: Anchoring system and method of anchoring and unanchoring the same
Inventor: TONTI NICHOLAS K
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 2013-11-01
Abstract: An anchoring system includes a housing having a radial opening therein, and a piston disposed within the housing which is axially movable therein. A slip is in operable communication with the piston such that movement of the piston in a first axial direction relative to the housing causes movement of the slip in a first radial direction relative to the housing to anchor the anchoring system to a structure and movement of the piston in a second axial direction allows the slip to move in a second radial direction that allows unanchoring of the anchoring system. A sleeve is configured to cause movement of the piston in the second axial direction when moved in the second axial direction relative to the housing, in response to either mechanically pulling the sleeve in the second axial direction or increasing pressure applied against the piston.

Title: Satellite beam monitoring
Inventor: JASON COOKE
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2015-07-27
Abstract: A beam 402 emitted by a satellite 110 produces a footprint on the ground typically a circle or ellipse, A. The power of the beam, p(r), varies across the footprint and falls off most steeply around the periphery of the footprint, P. Multiple monitoring stations, 406(1), 406(2), 406(3), are distributed around the periphery of the footprint. Each of these monitoring stations measures the power of the beam at its respective location and the power measurements are used to detect beam misalignment. A control signal is transmitted to the satellite to correct the misalignment. Either a user beam or a gateway beam may be monitored and gateway beam power measurements may be used to correct the alignment of the user beam. There are preferably at least eight monitoring stations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of recording a change to the authorisation state of authorisation agents or persons. The method includes establishing a copy of a blockchain ledger at each node in a set of blockchain nodes, each of the nodes is associated with a different controlling entity. Then a public key/private key pair is provided to a first of the blockchain nodes, the private key being for storage in, or is accessible to, a communication device of the controlling entity associated with first node. Next a message is received from the communication device, comprising data indicative of a change of authorisation state of an authorisation agent associated with the first controlling entity, the data being encrypted and a digital signature based on the blockchain ledger and the private key. The message is authenticated using the public key, and a block is added to the blockchain ledger based on the first message. Thus generating a new blockchain ledger that records the change of authorisation state of the first authorisation agent and outputting a copy of the new blockchain ledger for distribution to the other blockchain nodes of the set of blockchain nodes.
