Title: Surround monitoring system for vehicle
Inventor: JOHN DAVID ASHLEY
IPC: G06T3/40
Filed: 2018-05-17
Abstract: A system for generating a surround view for a vehicle comprises: a three-dimensional geometry unit configured to receive vehicle surrounding environment data and generate a three-dimensional model of a vehicle surrounding environment based on the received vehicle surrounding environment data, possibly from a local vehicle sensor e.g. a camera and a view generation unit configured to receive visual data and map the visual data to portions of the three-dimensional model based on the spatial and/or temporal information of the visual data and the vehicle surrounding environment data to form a virtual surround view. The system may include a wireless communication system for implementing vehicle-to-everything communication and/or some vehicle surrounding environment information including visual information. The vehicle environment data may include data such as position, texture or ego-motion of the vehicle relating to an object within a predetermined range that may be increased should no object be initially detected. The view generator may map the image by projecting texture data detected in the visual data and the system may store historical data such as previously used motion, model or visual data which may be selected by the view generator based on perspective. The surround view system may adjust the colourisation of areas of the virtual surround view based on the temporal data of the visual data mapped onto the area.

Title: Pump-through perforating gun combining perforation with other operation
Inventor: JOHN W SEGURA
IPC: E21B43/117
Filed: 2016-12-14
Abstract: In servicing a wellbore having casing cemented therein, an assembly deploys on tubing (coiled tubing or jointed pipe) downhole. Fluid is circulated down the tubing to the assembly, and a perforating gun on the assembly passes the circulated fluid through it. A tool downhole on the assembly is then operated with the circulated fluid passed through the perforating gun. For example, the tool can include a fluid-operated motor and milling tool. To allow the fluid to flow through the gun, an outer housing supports the load between the tubing and operable tool and has an inner flow tube disposed therein. Charges for perforating are supported in the space between the housing and flow tube. Once cleanup or other service is done with the tool, a detonation is initiated for the perforating the casing with one or more charges of the perforating gun. The detonation can be initiated by a deployed device or ball shifting a sleeve to drive a pin into a detonator. Detonating cord can connect the detonation to the charges.

Title: Touch display device, driving circuit, and driving method
Inventor: JAEHUN JUN
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2018-10-17
Abstract: A touch display device includes a display panel having a plurality of data lines, a plurality of gate lines, and a plurality of common electrodes arranged in two or more columns each containing two or more common electrodes. A data driving circuit supplies a data signal to the data lines, and a common electrode driving circuit supplies a common signal to the common electrodes and outputs sensing data by detecting sensing signals from one or more of the common electrodes. A touch controller senses touch on the basis of the sensing data. While the data signal is supplied to the data lines, the two or more common electrode columns are supplied with a common signal respectively through local buffers. This aims to prevent deterioration of touch sensitivity due to display driving. The common electrode columns may be electrically separated by the corresponding local buffers, thus preventing noises generated in the common electrode columns due to a display change from transferring to other columns.

Title: A method of diagnosing a diesel exhaust fluid delivery system
Inventor: MARTIN A P SYKES
IPC: G01N29/024
Filed: 2019-06-05
Abstract: A physical parameter, eg density or temperature, of diesel emission fluid (DEF) in a DEF delivery system is diagnosed by determining the time taken for a pressure wave caused by operation of the DEF injector to propagate from a first location (L1, fig.2) to a second location (L2) along the conduit/ feed line (22) which connects the source of DEF, eg tank (20, fig.1) to the DEF injector/ dosing unit (24). The propagation time is determined from signals indicative of a pressure wave being at the respective first and second locations (L1, L2). The first input signal may comprise information relating to operation of the injector (24). A single pressure sensor (30, fig.1) in the tank (2) may be used, or a pair of sensors (130, 131, fig.5) at separate locations.

IPC: F03G3/00
Filed: 2020-11-04
Abstract: An aquatic underwater energy storage system 110 comprises a platform 160 mounted on an elongate support element 158 extending from a buoyant support element 114, which is submersed below a surface of a body of water 12. A winch mechanism 118 is supported by the platform 160 and supports a mass 120 by a flexible elongate element 144, so that is can be moved vertically through the body of water by spooling or unspooling the flexible element 118. Energy is stored or released by raising or lowering the mass 120. The system is moored 140, and the interaction of forces from the mooring 140, the buoyant element 114 and the mass 120 may stabilise the aquatic energy storage system in a predetermined position and orientation in use. The use of a semi-submersible platform may at least in part mitigate the effect of waves and/or currents on the aquatic energy storage system 110.
