Title: Method and apparatus for transmitting data over a plurality of pairs of wires
Inventor: LESLIE HUMPHREY
IPC: H04L5/20
Filed: 2016-03-31
Abstract: A transmission system comprising at least three twisted pairs of conductors 1691-3b which each carry differential signals in the conventional manner (e.g. 1614a > 1624a > 1644a > 1652a > 1662a > 1671a/1673a > 1681a). The invention relates to phantom inter-conductor circuits which are applied to the common mode of each conductor pair using centre taps 1672/5/8a.  Additional input data streams 1611-13a are modulated and combined (preferably using a spatial DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) 1630a) to create a signal to excite each centre tap.  Decoding at the receiver (Fig. 3) is the reverse of transmission. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 5) the conventional differential data signals are fed through a vectoring unit and the output used to create enhancement signals for the conventional signals using an enhancement signal generator and the spatial DFT. This may enhance noise rejection in the conventional reception process.

Patent GB-2543917-A (GB)
Title: Helmet tracker
Inventor: Simon Trythall
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2016-09-09
Abstract: Determining the orientation of an object relative to a moving or moveable platform involves a combination of orientation rate data output by an inertial sensor arrangement such as gyroscopes 5 associated with the object and orientation data output by a non-inertial tracker system 10 associated with the object. Orientation data of the moveable platform is also used to reference the non-inertial tracker output to inertial space. A correction to the rate data output by the inertial sensor arrangement is determined using rate data derived fromdata output by the non-inertial tracker referenced to inertial space using orientation data of the moveable platform in inertial space. The corrected rate data are used to determine a predicted orientation for the object at a predetermined prediction time relative to a time point of validity of the corrected rate data The object may for example be a helmet worn by a pilot of an aircraft in which orientation of the helmet relative the aircraft while in flight may usefully be known, in particular when determining the position of space-stabilised symbols being displayed in an associated helmet-mounted digital display system.

IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2017-11-16
Abstract: An object is detected based on vehicle (100, figure 1) camera (120a-c, figure 1) image data. A light source is identified and, based in part on a light source position, the detected object is determined to be a shadow. The vehicle is then navigated without avoiding the detected shadow. The shadow may be detected due to luminance being less than a surrounding area. A projected path for the vehicle may be identified based on a vehicle yaw rate, steering angle or speed. The light source may be the sun and the position of the sun may be determined by a computer. A second object may be detected based on a LIDAR sensor, camera sensor or a radar sensor.
