Title: Method for creating a virtual environment reconstruction of an actual location
Inventor: MICHAEL COLIN HOY
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2020-04-20
Abstract: A method for creating a virtual environment reconstruction of an actual location by first selecting an intermediate digital pose in the virtual environment re-construction of the actual location, wherein the intermediate digital pose corresponds to an intermediate actual pose in the actual location where no intermediate where no intermediate actual pose sensor data is available. A target digital pose in the virtual environment reconstruction of the actual location is then selected wherein the target digital pose corresponds to a target actual pose in the actual location where target actual pose sensor data obtained at the target actual pose is available. An intermediate digital scene data of an intermediate digital scene taken at the intermediate digital pose in the virtual environment reconstruction is then obtained and the intermediate digital scene data of the intermediate digital scene is processed to reconstruct, using a first machine learning system, a target digital scene at the target digital pose in the virtual environment reconstruction, wherein the target digital scene corresponds to the target actual pose sensor data of the actual location obtained at the target actual pose in the actual location.

The method further includes a step of photo-bleaching a portion 302 of the colour conversion region associated with the first light emitting device, so that the photo-bleached portion becomes at least partially transparent to light of the first wavelength.

Title: Constant pressure gas storage in containments with mitigation for gas dissolution problems
Inventor: MICHAEL SIMPSON
IPC: F17C7/00
Filed: 2020-09-14
Abstract: One major shortcoming of hydraulic compensation relates to gas dissolution into the hydraulic compensation liquid. This invention teaches a way to minimise that dissolution by ensuring that as the gas containment is charged up, the hydraulic compensation liquid emerges from the containment at the gas storage pressure and the pressure of that liquid is caused to fall in a number of discrete steps with settling volumes present at the nodes between these steps. These settling volumes enable some gas to come out of solution at each node having lost relatively small amounts of pressure. The gas is compressed back up to storage pressure and re-injected into the main storage containment without significant use of energy. For compressed air energy storage applications using hydraulic compensation, this invention accounts for useful improvements in turnaround efficiency.

Title: A trailer braking system

Abstract: A trailer braking system including: a spring brake (58; fig. 1) spring applied and released by (e.g. pneumatic) pressure; a spring brake control valve (10; fig. 1) controlling pressure to the brake; an immobiliser 80, e.g. valve 84, controlling pressure to the control valve; and a shunt valve assembly. In a shunt-disabled configuration (e.g. shunt valve 46 in position in figures 3b, 4b; plus in fig. 4b pressure on lines 44, 120’ venting shunt release valve 110’): the immobiliser 80, 84 can move between its brake release position where the control valve can move (as shown in fig. 3b, 4b), and its immobilise position where the control valve is not operable (e.g. valve 84 moved up relative to figs. 3b, 4b, so valve 10 has no control pressure on line 10d and can only vent). In a shunt-enabled configuration (e.g. re figure 3b: shunt valve 46 manually pushed upwards; re figure 4b: no pressure in supply line 44 and line 120’ causing shunt release valve 110’ to move upward), the immobiliser 80, 84 is moved to the brake release position and the control valve supplies fluid to release the spring brake.
