Title: Apparatus and method for analysing MRI data
Inventor: MICHAEL HUTEL
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2018-05-31
Abstract: A system and method are provided for analyzing a functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan representing a time-sequence, comprising t time points, of images comprising v voxels, where each scan can be represented by a data matrix XϵRt x v. The method comprises modelling the scan data X as the convolution of neural activation time courses N ϵRt x v and a haemodynamic filter ψ, and performing an inverse operation to estimate N from X and ψ. The method further comprises decomposing the matrix of neural activation time courses N into multiple brain network components by representing N as the product of a first matrix H defining, for each component, a spatial map of the voxels belonging to that component, and a second matrix W defining, for each component, the time sequence of activation of that component during the scan. The inverse operation to the hemodynamic filter and the matrix H may be determined in a training stage. In other claimed implementations, the matrix factorization may be performed before the deconvolution. Also claimed are methods used to determine the time sequence for each component.

Title: Seismic well ties using blocking schemes
Inventor: KAINAN WANG
IPC: G01V1/48
Filed: 2016-02-19
Abstract: A system and method are provided for correlating well log data and seismic data corresponding to subterranean formations to generate a seismic well tie that preserves blocking schemes associated with the well log data and constraints corresponding to each block of samples. The seismic well tie may be generated by correlating samples of the well log data with the seismic data by shifting at least some of the samples and using the constraint on changes to the sample values to prevent the sample values of each of the one or more blocks of the samples from changing beyond the constraint. In some aspects, the constraints may relate to a constant velocity or a linearly changing velocity within various blocks of the well log data.

Title: Patient fall prevention
Inventor: STUART GRANT
IPC: G08B21/02
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: The motion of a patient is monitored 302, preferably while in a hospital bed. A sensor, e.g. a thermal camera 304, collects data and attributes one of a plurality of predetermined patient positions, and determines whether the person is moving 306. A risk level is categorised based on the person’s position and motion, i.e. the likelihood/probability they may fall out 310. If a predetermined risk threshold is exceeded, a change in environmental conditions is performed, such as a visual or audio alarm 312, or mechanical barrier/rail. The positional data may include sections of the bed, and/or body position with respect to the bed, such as laying prone, sitting centrally, or sitting with legs off the bed. Sound sensors or pressure mats may be used. A time of flight camera may be used to automatically generate 3D images. Canonical patient positioning may be determined by comparing the topography of the patient’s bed with a data set of known configurations.

Title: Plumbing fixture sanitising system
Inventor: DAVID MARK THURSTON
IPC: E03D9/03
Filed: 2020-05-12
Abstract: A plumbing fixture sanitising system 100 including a supply pipe 42 with an electrochemical cell 10 to produce ozone from electrolysis of water, the supply pipe supplying a cistern 40 which in turn supplies water to a plumbing fixture e.g. urinals 20. Also claimed is a method of sanitizing a plumbing fixture using ozonated water having a concentration of 0.7ppm. The use of a cistern which fills relatively slowly allows a relatively high concentration of ozone compared to the use of an electrochemical cell in the faster flowing flushing conduits (i.e. after a cistern). The system may include a controller to operate valves and the electrochemical cell, comprising a sensor for detecting the presence of a person, wherein the controller may operate the system, for set periods and/or with time delays based on detection of a user to ensure fresh ozonated water is produced when the fixture is used.

Title: An exterior wall painting machine
Inventor: CHUNYING ZHANG
IPC: B05C1/08
Filed: 2021-04-12
Abstract: This invention discloses an exterior wall painting machine comprising a horizontal holder 10, which comprises a beam 11 and cross panels 12, wherein a traction device 50 is arranged on a middle of the beam, and mounting racks 20 are arranged below the cross panels. Guiding devices 30 contacting a bearing column and painting devices 40 contacting the wall are arranged on outer sides of the mounting racks. In use, the mounting racks are lowered by using the traction device and a lowering speed of the painting devices is reduced, thereby a painting efficiency is improved. As L-shaped plates 14 tightly hold corners of the bearing column, a grasping force between bar-type projections (325 figure 4) and the wall drives the guiding devices to descend vertically. Thereby a sway of the painting devices in descending is avoided.

Title: Probability distribution assessment for classifying subterranean formations using machine learning
Inventor: JIAZUO ZHANG
IPC: G06N20/00
Filed: 2020-02-20
Abstract: According to some aspects, machine-learning models can be executed to classify a subsurface rock. Examples include training numerous machine-learning models using training data sets with different probability distributions, and then selecting a model to execute on a test data set. The selection of the model may be based on the similarity of each data point of the test data set and the probability distribution of each training class. Examples include detecting and recommending a pre-trained model to generate outputs predicting a classification, such as a lithology, of a test data set. Recommending the trained model may be based on calculated prior probabilities that measure the similarity between the training and test data sets. The model with a training data set that is most similar to the test data set can be recommended for classifying a physical property of the subsurface rock for hydrocarbon formation.
