Title: Eliminating the influence of internal multiples from seismic data
Inventor: HUNG BARRY
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2013-01-11
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for substantially eliminating the influence of internal multiples when seismic mapping geographical areas of interest without a priori knowledge of subsurface information. The system and method iteratively locate multiple-generating horizons for predicting internal multiples and uses a lower-higher-lower relationship between the multiple generating horizons. Seismic data is separated into a plurality of windows based on travel times of the wavefields. A convolution is performed between the separated window data responsible for upward reflections. A correlation is performed between the separated window data responsible for downward reflections and the product of the correlated and convoluted data is determined to create an internal multiple model. These steps are repeated for all the windows to generate a complete internal multiple model.

Title: Supervisory system controller for use with a renewable energy powered radio telecommunications site
Inventor: GROVES THOMAS PAUL
IPC: F03D9/00
Filed: 2013-05-23
Abstract: A supervisory system controller for controlling and monitoring the generation of electrical energy from renewable sources and management methods for the storage of energy so generated and interconnecting the energy-generating elements, storage and load. The supervisory system controller operates to maximise the power transfer to a battery by automatically varying the threshold levels at which dump loads are switched based on system inputs and measurements. The method conserves generator fuel by delaying a scheduled generator maintenance running period such that it occurs when renewable energy availability is predicted to be low and battery is in a reduced state of charge. Further modifications and management methods are also provided, such as managing the storage of energy by controlling the interconnections made between generating, storage, and load elements, the apparatus operable to communicate with a remote device to obtain weather forecast data for the purpose of predicting future renewable energy generation capability, and also operable to override or delay the operation of a fossil fuelled generator to recharge a battery.

IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 2011-03-23
Abstract: This charge control device controls a charging stage of a power storage unit, which stores power supplied from a power supply, and which supplies the stored power to a load. The charge control device is provided with a voltage monitoring unit, which determines that the power storage unit is in a charged state when a voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit is a predetermined upper limit voltage or higher, and which determines that charging is necessary when the voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit is a predetermined lower limit voltage or lower, said predetermined lower limit voltage being lower than the predetermined upper limit voltage. When the voltage monitoring unit determines that the charging of the power storage unit is necessary on the basis of the fact that the voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit is the predetermined lower limit voltage or lower due to a voltage drop generated in the power storage unit due to resistance components and a load current in the power storage unit when the load is being driven by means of power supplied from the power storage unit, the power storage unit is charged with power from the power supply, and the voltage between the terminals of the power storage unit is set to the predetermined upper limit voltage or higher.

Title: Seafood processing apparatus and methods of processing seafood
Inventor: TARDY GINDRA
IPC: A23B4/005
Filed: 2013-12-10
Abstract: A method of processing seafood includes putting a sealed package 114 containing seafood into a seafood processing chamber112, submerging the package in a liquid 118, heating liquid to a pasteurisation temperature to pasteurise the seafood and providing a controlled pressure gas 124 in the processing chamber.

Patent GB-2529892-A (GB)
Title: Efficient loading and storing of data
Inventor: DAVIS MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G06F9/34
Filed: 2014-09-08
Abstract: Load and store operations in a processor are executed concurrently without requiring second address units for generating store addresses as known in the art. Load addresses generated by logic 118 are re-used in a subsequent data store. In response to load instruction L1 comprising address generation parameters, logic 118 generates corresponding addresses which are passed to memory unit 108 and pushed to data structure FIFO 120. Load instruction S1 is performed by using the addresses in FIFO 120 either directly (in-place type operations) or by adding an offset (copy type operations). Only load addresses are generated independently, while store addresses are generated by logic 122 based on previously generated load addresses. Logic 122 is consequently less complex and smaller than address generators such as logic 118. Store and load operations can be performed in parallel because they do not both require logic which independently generates addresses for loading and storing.
