Title: Electrosurgical device
Inventor: MARNO NAGTEGAAL
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2016-01-12
Abstract: A surgical instrument having an elongate shaft has a blade assembly 340 which is slideable longitudinally. The blade assembly 340 connects at its proximal end to a collar 348 having first and second components. A tab or protrusion 2102 on the blade assembly 340 fits into a recess 2100 in the inner component to retain the blade assembly 340. The inner component is freely rotatable inside the outer component, such that the blade assembly 340 may rotate with the drive shaft. The outer component connects to a trigger mechanism to provide longitudinal movement to the blade assembly 340 allowing it to be deployed or retracted. The blade assembly 340 is shaped such that it may enter the inner component when presented at an appropriate angle relative to the longitudinal axis, but once rotated into alignment with the axis it is retained in the component.

Title: Remote monitoring of process stream
Inventor: PABLO MATIAS DUPUY
IPC: G01N33/22
Filed: 2016-05-27
Abstract: A method for remote monitoring of a high-pressure process stream 10 comprises the steps of taking a sample of gas from a first location in the process stream, analyzing the gas to determine quality parameters, sending signals relating to the quality parameters to a control unit, and returning the sample of gas to the process stream at a second location, where the pressure of the process stream is higher at the first location than at the second location. The analyser 21 may be a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy unit. The pressure of the sample may be conditioned by increasing the pressure of the sample using a hydraulic booster (fig 2, 30) prior to the analyser. The invention also extends to an apparatus for remote monitoring of a high-pressure process stream.

Title: Picture frame
Inventor: ROGER FELTON
IPC: G09F1/12
Filed: 2017-02-13
Abstract: A picture frame system has four laminar blanks (figure 1) which when assembled together (figure 3C) form the sides of a frame. Each blank includes parallel edges 8, 10 and includes a box portion 13 to be erected into a hollow profile having a rectangular cavity or cross-section. Each blank when assembled includes a slot 27 into which an adjacent blank may be slid. Each blank has a diagonal edge 34 at one end and further incorporates a flap 14 to be received in a slot 30 in order to create a frame with a mitered corner. Strips of laminar material (40, figure 2D, not shown) may be slid into the cavity defined by each assembled blank, the strips sized such that they sit diagonally across the rectangular cavity. An advantage of the invention is that provision of separate blanks allows the frame to be easily posted, due to the relatively small size of each individual blank.

IPC: G07C5/00
Filed: 2017-04-24
Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for dynamically assessing driver performance, including that of an autonomous driving system, with the aim of improving driver performance. Based on received electronic driver performance messages, the system may determine whether an instant feedback message is required to dynamically adjust driving behaviour of a subject driver or autonomous driving system. If yes, then the system provides an instant feedback message. Otherwise the system may provide an aggregate feedback message, calibration message, and/or coaching recommendation as appropriate. An aggregate feedback message may be provided based on the driver performance score calculated and based on the driver performance messages received over a predetermined time period. Otherwise a driver profile can be generated from driver performance messages. The subject driver, or their vehicle, can be identified by a sensor. The system may be adapted to: calculate an insurance premium or coverage, calculate cost of hiring a vehicle, monitor driving quality of drivers, recruit drivers, provide incentives, and provide driver performance reports. The driver performance messages may be generated automatically by an observer user device or through human interaction with an observer user device, allowing a proximate driver to report poor or good driving by a fellow driver.
