Title: Transmission of a reverse video feed
Inventor: RICHARD JOHN NOEL AKESTER
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2017-12-19
Abstract: A method in a virtual or augmented reality (VR/AR) system, having a display device 112 associated with a user 110 and a central control device 116, involves capturing a video feed from a camera 126 associated with the user 110 or the display device 112, the video feed recording changes in the position of the user 110 in a physical space, compressing the video feed from the camera 126, e.g. using compression engine 122, and transmitting the compressed video feed to the central control device 116 to enable the central control device to determine, e.g. using graphics processing unit 114, movement of the user within the physical space. Movement of edges or image features within the reverse video feed (e.g. the edge of a television screen, a window or furniture) may indicate movement of the user. The video may be compressed using a discrete wavelet transform encoding technique or a wavelet-based encoding technique, such as Haar encoding. The video feed may be transformed into luminance and chrominance components and compression may involve discarding chrominance components. Changes in compression ratio of successive tiles of each frame of the video feed may be monitored.

Filed: 2018-08-02
Abstract: A refuelling system 400 has a fuel conduit 101a,101b, a variable-position valve 202 and a controller 104.

When used in a vehicle, such as an aircraft, the system may utilise an electric field sensor 203a located at the fuel tank, or streaming current sensors 203b located at the conduit or valve to determine the electro-static condition of the tank. The valve may be a shutter valve (fig.3a) having a variable sized opening 321, which defaults to a closed position in response to a system failure. The controller may also use a measurement of the tank fuel level in controlling the valve, to prevent over-pressure. A second valve 410 may be located in the conduit to stop the fuel flow in response to a detected tank overflow condition. The controller may gather data such as flow rate profile, fuel type, or a property of the tank, supplying it to a data lake 20.

Title: Monopole magnet rotary speed adjustable cage type magnetic coupler
Inventor: CHAOJUN YANG
IPC: H02K49/10
Filed: 2020-04-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of mechanical transmission, and relates to a monopole magnet rotary speed adjustable cage type magnetic coupler. In the present invention, a copper disc uses a cage-shaped copper disc, and fan-shaped circular current is generated around all the fan-shaped grooves thereof. The loss of the generated eddy current is small and the transmission efficiency is high. The fan-shaped grooves of the cage type copper disc are in interference fit with the small protrusions on the surface of a yoke. The small protrusions of the yoke modulate a magnetic field, thereby further improving the electromagnetic torque of the coupler. In the coupler, three speed adjustment methods are provided. The first is to adjust the air gap between the copper disc and a permanent magnet disc by means of an axial movement device, the second is to fix the size of the air gap and change the rotation angle of a rotating permanent magnet so as to adjust the directly facing area between the conductor disc and the permanent magnet disc, and the third is composite speed adjustment of the size of the air gap between the two discs using axial moving and the rotating permanent magnet. Therefore, the coupler can satisfy the speed adjustment requirements of different degrees.
