Patent GB-2598597-A (GB)
Title: An ostomy appliance
Inventor: Jesus Alfaro
IPC: A61F5/445
Filed: 2020-09-03
Abstract: Disclosed is an ostomy bag comprising first 12, second 14 and third 30 walls. A collection cavity 18 is defined between the first and second walls, which may receive waste from the stoma-receiving opening 16. A gas vent 8 is provided in the second wall covered by a filter 9. This filter may be overlaid by the third wall, wherein the third wall is connected to both the periphery of the first/second walls and forms a further discrete connection 60 with the second wall below the filter. This connection may be adhesive, or may be a heat weld. This connection means that when the third wall is pulled away from the first/second walls, the second wall is pulled away from the first wall, thus counteracting the adhesive ‘pancaking’ effect that may occur when waste becomes stuck in the collection cavity.

Title: System and method for analysing data
Inventor: NGAI LAM ALVIN CHAN
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2021-04-27
Abstract: A method for analysing data involves receiving raw data from one or more source databases, defining key metrics for the raw data, determining metadata for the raw data based on the key metrics, and generating a time-series query with a desired frequency based on the metadata. The key metrics may relate to business information such as expenditure, revenue, click through rate, conversion rate, or growth rate. Further, the generated time-series query is processed against available time-series performance data to detect one or more anomalies present in the key metrics. In response to user selection of at least one anomaly of interest from the detected one or more anomalies corresponding to one of the key metrics, a root cause is determined for a change in the available timeseries performance data associated with the anomaly based on a performance goal for the key metric. A data visualization indicating the determined root cause is generated.

Title: Sub-module cooling device of power transmission system
Inventor: CHANG WOO HAN
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2019-11-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a sub-module cooling device of a power transmission system. Sub-modules (20) are arranged in rows on a plurality of layers of a frame (10). The heat generated by the sub-modules (20) is transferred to a duct (30) through heat pipes (22, 26), and the heat transferred through the heat pipes (22, 26) is discharged to the outside while the air from air conditioners (40) passes through the duct (30). When the heat generated by the sub-modules (20) is discharged in this manner, the air can absorb the heat generated by the sub-modules and discharge same to the outside while flowing by the operation of the air conditioners (40) without requiring to provide a cooling fan in each sub-module. In particular, the duct (30) is partitioned and the heat pipes (22, 26) from the sub-module (20) of each layer are arranged in different paths (31, 32, 33) for each layer so that heat dissipation occurs uniformly without deviation.

Title: Pilot unit
Inventor: ANDREW JAMES SEELEY
IPC: F23Q9/00
Filed: 2021-07-13
Abstract: A method and apparatus for abatement of an effluent stream from a semiconductor processing tool, includes a pilot unit 320 (20 Fig. 1B). The pilot unit has a housing 340, a foraminous pilot burner surface 370 and a plenum 390 defined between the housing and the foraminous pilot burner surface. In use, the plenum conveys fuel and oxidant from a housing inlet 380 to the burner surface, and an ignitor 410 ignites the fuel and oxidant exiting the foraminous pilot surface to provide a pilot flame across the pilot burner surface. The pilot module can be shaped to interface with at least one combustion chamber main module (30 Fig. 1C) for treating effluent arriving at the effluent inlet (60 Fig. 1C). Fuel and air can be supplied via an inlet 450 and pass around the ignitor conductor 430 along conduit 440 and discharge through an ignition aperture 420. A voltage can be applied to the conductor to cause an electrical discharge that ignites the fuel and air mixture exiting the ignition aperture which, in turn, ignites the fuel and air exiting the foraminous pilot burner surface. The arrangement provides a stable pilot flame system.

Title: Systems and methods for generating, visualizing and classifying molecular functional profiles
Inventor: ALEXANDER BAGAEV
IPC: G16B40/00
Filed: 2018-06-12
Abstract: Gene groups associated with cancer malignancy, anti-tumour immune micro environment and tumour promoting, fibroblast and angiogenesis groups may be identified in RNA expression or whole exome sequencing in a biological sample. The parameters of the statistical model are estimated using predictor set of genes, using the expression data. The computer hardware processor obtains additional expression data for an additional subject and determines whether the additional subject responds positively to the checkpoint blockade therapy and/or whether the additional subject not responds positively to the checkpoint blockade therapy, using the additional expression data and statistical model. This reduces the clinician errors associated with searching various sources of information, prolongs the half-life of the antibody and prevents the antibody being attacked by the host immune system. Its application may reduce probability of developing or reduces extent of the symptoms of the disease in a given time frame – determining what molecular functional profile cluster a sample belongs to based on the sequencing.
