IPC: A61M37/00
Filed: 2018-11-02
Abstract: A tattoo device comprising a housing 20, a needle 25, a first oscillator and a second oscillator, wherein the first and second oscillator are coupled to the needle to induce vibrations therein. The first and second oscillators operate at different frequencies to vibrate the needle 25 simultaneously at first and second frequencies. The first oscillator is selected from a coil or pair of coils, a rotary oscillator, or a pneumatic oscillator.

Patent GB-2581507-A (GB)
Title: Logarithmic number system
Inventor: Hendkik Lambertus Muller
IPC: G06F7/485
Filed: 2019-02-21
Abstract: A processor carries out operations using a biased logarithmic number system. To add or subtract two numbers, the processor determines the difference between the numbers. If the difference is less than a threshold, it is used to retrieve a number from a table. That number is then added to one of the original numbers to produce the result. If the difference is greater than the threshold, then the result is the larger of the original numbers. To multiply two numbers the two numbers are added, and the bias is subtracted. To divide two numbers, the dividend is subtracted from the quotient and the bias is added. To determine the square root of a number, the number is shifted left and half the bias is added to it. The bias may be user configurable.

Patent GB-2574116-A (GB)
Title: Determination of flow rate and fluid temperature
Inventor: OLIVER PARSON
IPC: G01M3/00
Filed: 2017-11-02
Abstract: A method for determining the flow rate in a pipe includes measuring a temperature difference between the pipe and the temperature of the surroundings of the pipe and dividing this difference by the difference between the temperature of the fluid entering the pipe and the temperature of the surroundings of the pipe. A non-linear conversion between the ratio derived in this way and the flow rate is used to estimate the flow rate. The non-linear conversion may be a sigmoid or inverse tangent function. A calibration step may include selecting a combination of non-linear functions, and may be performed periodically. The determination of the temperature of the fluid entering the conduit may include determining a rolling average of the outside air temperature. Also disclosed are methods for estimating the temperature of the fluid entering the pipe using either the temperature of the pipe or the local air temperature. The method can be used in the detection of leaks, particularly at low flow rates.
