Title: Actuator with brushless DC motor
Inventor: ANDREW STEWART
IPC: H02K29/08
Filed: 2016-11-07
Abstract: A rotary actuator 24 includes a brushless DC motor 33 or BLDC, an output device 34 and a reduction system 35 coupled between the brushless motor 33 and output device. The reduction system can be a worm gear 40 and a toothed gear 42. A contactless position sensor, which can be a Hall Effect sensor 36, is used to sense a position of the output device 34. The output device can be connected to a valve of a valve assembly where movement of the actuator opens or closes the valve. The valve can be a ball valve, used as a crossfeed valve in the fuel system of an aircraft. The brushless motor 33 is controlled by a controller 38 which can be a microcontroller, ASIC or FPGA. The FPGA can be configured with redundant modules, operating at different design assurance levels. During operation, the controller can sample and store operating parameters such as motor current, voltage or speed or position information. The data can be sampled at a high rate during active operation of the motor and a low rate when on standby.

Title: Network
Inventor: ANDREW CHATTELL
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2018-03-29
Abstract: The invention provides a network architecture 100 in which the modem 510 in a hybrid fibre-metallic access network is moved from the customer premises 500 to a distribution point 130. The network comprises an optical fibre cable 115 connected to a multiplexer 122 (e.g. DSLAM) at a first network location 120, which is connected via a metallic cable 125 (e.g. copper pairs fig.6) to a modem located at a second network location 130. The modem is then connected to the customer premises via means 505 such as gigabit Ethernet. By shortening the distance between the DSLAM and modem (by for example at least 5 meters) it is possible to increase the data capacity between the cabinet and the distribution point. By using multiple copper pairs and phantom channels with technologies such as G.fast or VDSL over the shortened copper links it is possible to increase the data rate provided to the customer. Multiple data signals may be transmitted, with the modem collating them at the distribution point. The invention allows a single customer to receive two or more G.fast channels without the need to provide fibre to the home (FTTH) or a second dropwire.

Filed: 2018-11-02
Abstract: Acceleration unit 100 is attachable to a body region 102 (e.g. by glue or straps), or held for example in the hand or mouth. The unit may be on a carrier (e.g. a mug, pen or mobile device). A three-dimensional acceleration signal is processed 104 in a relevant band e.g. around 0-30Hz, to form a movement index based upon the norm of acceleration values. A value of amplitude and/or frequency of the spatial movement of the body region is formed based upon power spectral density, for example the area of peaks with a width < 2Hz may be used with an equation of harmonic oscillation. The movement index and amplitude/frequency are displayed continuously. An identification may be associated e.g. with camera data 108, the movement index displayed synchronously with video. The apparatus may be used in a surgical intervention to find a most effective brain location for deep brain stimulation.
