Title: A Drain
Inventor: KHALIL ABU AL-RUBB
IPC: E03F5/06
Filed: 2016-12-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a moveable part 204 that blocks the entrance of the drain 200 to prevent any debris or sediment from entering the drain when there is no rainfall or surface water. The drain comprises a frame 200, grating 206 and a movable part 204, wherein the movable part has a first closed position and a second open position to allow rainwater and sediment through the grating. The movable part may be made from foam, plastic, synthetic, metallic or a mesh material. The movable part may be spring biased in the closed position. Any sediment that does settle on top of the drain will be removed, either naturally by the surrounding environment or intentionally by a road sweeper. As such, there will never be a build-up of sand or dust large enough to move the insert. When there is rainfall or surface water, the weight of any water sitting on top of the movable part causes the part to move to thereby create an opening through which the water can flow. A later embodiment relates to the drain having a side inlet having at least one aperture, wherein the movable part (622 figure 10A) is rotatable about a spring lever coupled to the side inlet.

Title: Voice user interface
Inventor: Carlos Vaquero Aviles-Casco
IPC: G10L17/12
Filed: 2017-06-06
Abstract: A method of speaker verification comprises: receiving a speech signal 50; dividing the speech signal into segments 52; and, following each segment 54, obtaining an authentication score based on said segment and previously received segments 56, wherein the authentication score represents a probability that the speech signal comes from a specific registered speaker. In response to an authentication request, an authentication result is output based on the authentication score 58. The method may either form a cumulative or running average of frame scores, which may be a weighted average, accrue the frame features over a plurality of frames and compare these features to a model, or collect audio frames into a larger audio sample which may be analysed. The result may be arrived at by comparing the overall authentication result to a threshold. The threshold may vary depending on the level of security required by a separate program. An apparatus to perform the method is also claimed.

Title: A controller for a control system of a brake system
Inventor: LOUIS TAM
IPC: G01K17/20
Filed: 2018-07-25
Abstract: A controller for a control system of a brake system is configured to calculate a temperature TB of a brake system of a vehicle by determining whether air flow across the brake system is such that convective heat loss is in a higher heat transfer mode or a lower heat transfer mode; and calculating a temperature of the brake system using the determined heat transfer mode. A signal indicative of the calculated temperature of the brake system is output. Determining whether air flow across the brake system is such that convective heat loss is in a higher heat transfer mode or a lower heat transfer mode may comprise a determination of the turbulence of the air flow using one or both of vehicle speed and an air pressure acting on the vehicle. The heat transfer mode may be looked up using the vehicle speed - fig. 4. A Reynolds number may be calculated for the air flow across the brake system. The Reynolds number may be compared to a threshold to determine the heat transfer mode – fig. 7. A heat transfer number (heat transfer coefficient) may be calculated for convective heat loss using a Reynolds number equation rearranged with the Nusselt number equation S124 fig. 6 / fig. 7. The determined heat transfer mode determines the values of constants used in the calculation S124 fig. 7. The heat transfer coefficient / number is then used to determine convection heat loss from the brake system. The temperature TB of the brake system is determined by calculating a temperature increase due to thermal energy transferred to the brake system deltaT1 149, calculating a temperature decrease due to thermal energy loss from the brake system deltaT2 146, and then subtracting the temperature decrease from the temperature increase and the previous temperature to determine current temperature TB, S180, 151.
