Title: Using measurements of tension and shape of seismic streamers to predict ocean current
Inventor: STORTEIG ESKILD
IPC: G01C13/00
Filed: 2006-11-30
Abstract: A method for use in seismic surveying includes determining 310 the shape of a seismic cable during a seismic survey; determining 320 the tension on the seismic cable at a plurality of points along the seismic cable; and predicting 330 a current that will impact the seismic cable from the determined shape and the determined tension. Predicting the current may involve inverting partial differential equations describing the cable's dynamics. The method may be practiced two-dimensionally in the context of a marine survey employing a towed streamer array or three-dimensionally in the context of laying an array of ocean bottom cables on the seabed.

Title: Topical use of epoxidised compounds from Vernonia galamensis seed on skin
Inventor: MCCLORY PAUL GERARD JOSEPH
IPC: A61K36/28
Filed: 2007-01-04
Abstract: Epoxidised compounds such as oils, esters and waxes, which are based on vernolic acid, have been found to be useful for treating lesions on mammalian skin. The lesions may be caused by disease or wounding. A particularly preferred epoxidised compound is oil extracted from Vernonia galamensis seed, i.e. vernonia oil. The lesion may be a wound such as a graze, cut, scratch or bum or may be due to a skin disease such as psoriasis, dermatitis, ulceration or eczema. The epoxidised compounds may also be used as an emollient. Alternatively, a compound or a protein having at least one epoxidised oil, epoxidised wax or epoxidised fatty acid ester bound to it. Such binding can change the size, immunogenicity or biological half life of the protein. If the compound is a small molecule, such binding can alter its bio-availability.

Title: Speech screening: censoring or prohibiting access to undesirable audio content.
Inventor: KIRBY JAMES MICHAEL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2008-05-16
Abstract: This invention relates to screening of spoken audio data so as to detect threat words or phrases. The method is particularly useful for protecting children or vulnerable adults from unsuitable content and/or suspicious or threatening contact with others via a communication medium. The method is applicable to screening speech transmitted over a computer network such as the Internet and provides screening of access to stored content, e.g. audio or multimedia data files, as well as real time speech such as live broadcasts or communication via voice over IP or similar communication protocols. The method allows an administrator, e.g. a parent, to identify groups of threat words or phrases to be monitored, to set user access levels and to determine appropriate responses when threat words or phrases are detected. The speech recogniser may use a phonetic approach i.e. threat words/phrases are converted to phoneme sequences matches with the phoneme sequence of the received audio are recognised.

IPC: B43L7/14
Filed: 2009-05-28
Abstract: A drawing aid comprises a supporting frame 1 which surrounds a surface 3 and provides straight, smooth and uninterrupted support for a scribing using hand held instruments (6), has bars 9 which are bent to fit around and into this supporting frame, can be hinged over to lie across the surface to provide scribing support parallel to, but at some distance from each edge. These bars are set at 90 degrees to each other. For larger surfaces, a groove (20) is included along each side of the frame to allow the hinged support bars to be lifted and slid over the surface. Pairs of slots 4 are formed at intervals on opposite edges of the frame, into which the movable bars are dropped. This holds the bar steady and parallel to its adjacent side, while a. position is located and a line scribed onto the surface. A scale marking 5 on both the bars and frame facilitates the process.
