Patent GB-2503645-A (GB)
Title: Diacetylenes and their use in forming an image on a substrate
Inventor: JARVIS ANTHONY N
IPC: B41M5/28
Filed: 2012-05-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of the formula wherein R is H or an organic group of up to 20 C atoms; and Q is a hydrocarbon chain of up to 20 C atoms optionally interspersed with one or more heteroatoms. The diacetylenes of the invention are useful for providing an image on a substrate. In particular the compounds may exhibit polychromism and thus be useful for forming an image on a substrate or in a formulation by irradiation (optionally activated by another stimulus such as heat) resulting in a colour change. The diacetylenes may be applied to a substrate, e.g. as part of an ink formulation, or incorporated into a plastics formulation. Preferred compounds are diacetylenic bis-amides 10,12-docosadiynedioic acid bis(cyclopropylamide) and 10,12-pentacosadiynedioic acid bis(cyclopropylamide).

IPC: G05B11/18
Filed: 2013-05-14
Abstract: A controller for controlling the speed of a cooling device such as fan, blower or pump, in an electronic apparatus, such as a storage enclosure or racks, wherein the controller is configured to determine a speed value for the cooling device in accordance with a temperature input received from a temperature sensor associated with the apparatus, the speed value being selected from a set of N speed values, the controller is arranged to control the speed of the cooling device in accordance with the selected speed value, wherein the step between at least one pair of adjacent speed values in the set is different from the step between another pair of adjacent speed values in the set. Preferably the controller translates the temperature input into a speed value using a lookup table of temperature transition values and is arranged to apply hysteresis when calculating the speed value for the cooling device. This allows the cooling device speeds to be tailored to the system to achieve for example improved acoustic and power performance.

Patent GB-2525992-A (GB)
Title: Sensor system and method
Inventor: LAMB ROBERT A
IPC: G01S7/484
Filed: 2015-05-06
Abstract: This is an improvement over current rangefinders by removing the need for a constant repetition rate in order to maintain the temporal correlation between the emitted pulse and the detected photon. It does this by producing a random pulse train and then cross-correlating the transmitted random pulses with the return in order to find the range more accurately. It achieves this by using an ultra low-intensity laser that produces a few or a single photon at a time. The random pulse train is caused by the Poissonian nature of the low-intensity light. The advantage of this is that there is no optical modulator required as the beam is naturally pulsed. It can also be used for covert optical communications. The rangefinder may also use a memory buffer for signal processing, and it may also use a thermal light source. There is a second invention disclosed where the emitted pulse train is measured immediately after emission from the laser.
