Title: Garment pleating
Inventor: RYAN MARIO YASIN
IPC: D06J1/12
Filed: 2017-06-20
Abstract: A method of pleating a fabric comprises pleating the fabric with a first pleating process to create a first set of pleats 12 in the fabric along a first axis 16 and pleating the fabric with a second pleating process to create a second set of pleats 14 in the fabric along a second axis 18 different to the first axis 16.

Title: Coolant system
Inventor: ANDREW BLOOR
IPC: F02C7/224
Filed: 2018-01-31
Abstract: A coolant system 400 for electrical generator 440 in aircraft engine, comprising a turbine 435 driven by a propulsion system fluid (e.g. lubricating and/or cooling fluid of an engine gearbox) circulating in a propulsion system fluid circuit 415 of the aircraft engine. Turbine rotation is transferred to a pump 430. The pump drives a coolant fluid (e.g. oil) around a coolant fluid circuit 410, cooling an electrical generator 440. Advantageously, the segregated independent cooling circuit 410 is separate from the propulsion system fluid circuit 415, reducing possibility of contamination the propulsion system fluid in case of a failure. Preferably, a mechanical or magnetic gearbox 455 creates a speed differential between the turbine and pump. The turbine and pump may comprise permanent magnets and/or electromagnets for causing the magnetic field of a rotating turbine to cause the magnetic means of the pump to rotate, removing the need for fluid seals between them. An auxiliary back-up electrical generator 452 may be coupled to the turbine to generate electricity, which may be stored in a battery or capacitor 495 and used to power the pump 430. A switch 465 or a clutch (265, figure 2) may selectively couple the pump to the turbine.

Title: Systems and methods for assigning priorities in a communication system
Inventor: DANIEL J MCDONALD
IPC: H04W72/10
Filed: 2018-05-14
Abstract: To assign a priority level to a portable device in a communication system, an incident profile is first determined, this having an associated timeline specifying various incident stages. Each incident stage has one or more device roles with associated priority levels, and these levels are assigned to the device it if takes on the corresponding role. When a transition between different incident stages is detected, the priority levels are reassigned according to the new roles. The transitions may be triggered by an estimated period of time elapsing or a transition message. Priority ranks may also be changed in response to emergency transmissions, commands received from an external device, or the detection of abnormal situations, as indicated by an increased transmission rate from a particular device. The incident profiles may be generated using historical dispatch data for similar types of incident. The system is intended for use by public service agencies such as the fire or police service when dealing with emergency incidents.

Title: Method and system for directing and monitoring exercise
Inventor: Guido Moises Moya Mendoza
IPC: G16H20/30
Filed: 2018-07-05
Abstract: A user’s performance of an exercise, especially physiotherapeutic exercise, is directed and monitored. Body movements of a user (e.g. skeletal joint angles) are measured using a portable console having a range imaging sensor. The sensor measures the user during performance of the exercise and outputs resultant three-dimensional image data. The data is processed involving detecting the user in the image data and obtaining user biomechanical data representing skeletal movement. An on-screen user avatar is generated which moves in accordance with the measured data thus representing the user's exercise performance. Trainer biomechanical data representing body movement during proper performance of an exercise is stored, and used to generate an on-screen virtual trainer avatar. During performance of exercise by the user the virtual trainer avatar and the user avatar are displayed concurrently. Trainer and user movements may be compared to provide feedback to the user on their exercise performance. A peripheral device (e.g. handheld, attached to user or attached to an object) monitoring motion/orientation may also be provided.

Title: Audio amplitude unwrapping
Inventor: DAVID BETTS
IPC: H03M13/41
Filed: 2018-07-10
Abstract: A method for restoring a wrapped audio signal. The signal comprises plural signal samples at respective sample times. The method comprises: estimating a sequence of corrections be applied to the samples, or estimating a sequence of corrected samples. The estimating comprising, for each signal sample: applying, a numerical filter to each of a set of potential corrections or samples to determine a filtered value associated with each set, wherein the corrections are integers or samples modified by integer multiples of a correction constant. The filter enhances the filtered value at sample times when a change in a degree of wrapping occurs relative to sample times when a change in degree of wrapping does not occur. A cumulative objective is formed over a plurality of samples by accumulating objective values. Each objective value is determined by applying an objective function to the filtered value associated with each set of potential corrections or signal samples. A sequence of corrections or signal samples are determined for each signal sample, by selecting for each sample time a correction or corrected signal sample. The correction or corrected signal sample for each sample time are selected to optimise the cumulative objective. A restored version of the audio signal is generated using the sequence of corrections or corrected signal samples.

Inventor: OFER SHACHAM
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 2017-06-20
Abstract: A processor having an array of execution lanes 305 and a two-dimensional shift register 306 is described. The two-dimensional shift register provides local respective register space for the execution threads. The processor is configured to execute a two-dimensional convolution of an array of coefficient values (Fig. 5a-5b) and each of one or more pixel values of image data to generate a matrix of partial products. Each execution unit in the two-dimensional array of execution units multiplies a coefficient of the two-dimensional array of coefficients and a respective pixel value of the image data that is stored in the location in the shift register array that is associated with the execution unit. Moreover, each execution unit performs an addition of a result of the previous multiplication with a respective current convolution sum stored in the register of the execution unit to update the current convolution sum stored in the register of the execution unit. If all coefficients of the two-dimensional array of coefficients have not been processed each pixel of image data stored is shifted in a same direction (Figs. 5a-5k).
