Title: A voice-controlled computer system
Inventor: CUMMINS ORAN
IPC: G07F7/10
Filed: 2013-06-14
Abstract: Disclosed is a alphanumeric security system for voice controlled computer systems. The computer systems comprises a head up display that presents to a user on the HUD a plurality of different pairs of alphanumeric when the computer system requires a user to verbally enter a character of a security code into the system. Each pair of characters have a first character and an associated (pseudo) randomly generated second character. The security code requires the user to enter one of the first characters of one of the pairs, the user then verbally enters the associated second character. The system then deciphers the verbal entry of the associated second character as equivalent to entry of the first character. The first character of each pair may remain the same with the second changing for successive characters in the security code.

Title: Method and system for collecting image data
Inventor: Terence d pickett
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2015-09-18
Abstract: Method for collecting images, comprising: detecting change from the average in a parameter of a crop or field; determining location of the field or a region of it (specifically of a vehicle that collects images); capturing images for a time interval associated with the parameter change; associating the images with the location and storing image and position data together. A second variation in a second crop attribute may be detected. The two alterations may occur simultaneously. Pictures may be still photographs or video frames in a range of electromagnetic (EM) radiation wavelengths (eg. light, infra-red), and may be used for agronomic or agricultural analysis. Wireless communication with a network server may be employed. Observed properties may include crop yield, crop moisture, plant nitrogen content, plant height or width, plant health or vigour, crop mass, crop volume, crop or grain loss, seed spacing, seed depth, planting acceleration levels, proportion of weeds. Crop features may be monitored using sensors that measure impact or transmittance or reflectance of microwaves. Sensors and cameras may be mounted on a vehicle or tower (eg. combined harvester, aircraft, sprayer, monopole) during harvest. Location may be identified using satellite navigation, GNSS, GLONASS, Galileo or global positioning system (GPS).

IPC: B65D50/00
Filed: 2017-01-30
Abstract: A dispenser assembly for a container including a fluid reservoir 2 comprises dispenser outlet 28 in fluid communication with the reservoir, a conduit 26 providing fluid communication between the reservoir and dispenser outlet 28, and a valve arrangement 21 moveable between closed and open positions in which valve member 23 prevents and allows fluid communication between the reservoir and outlet.

Title: A parallel inverter scheme for seperating conduction and switching losses
Inventor: DOUG MALY
IPC: H02P27/06
Filed: 2017-02-06
Abstract: An inverter arrangement comprising a controller coupled to a first inverter 350 and a second inverter 370 where both inverters are configured to provide power to a load 117. When the first inverter is initially fully on and the power supply function is to be handed to the second inverter, the second inverter must partially turn on before the first inverter turns off. Thus the second inverter is at least partially operative during the transition such that operation of the first and second inverter overlap. The process may be repeated in reverse, wherein the second inverter is initially (partially) on, the first inverter is turned on before the second inverter is turned off to leave the first invert in control. The inverters may contain switches that are power transistors and that the controller may receive feedback from the inverters in order to control the inverters based on the current requirements of the load. In a second aspect of the invention the system can also be implemented with a voltage command generator situated between the controller and the inverters.
