Title: Detector and method for detection of airborne beta particles
Inventor: MORGAN JONES
IPC: G01T1/24
Filed: 2018-11-19
Abstract: Airborne beta particle detector 1 has detector head 8, e.g. an 0.2mm silicon wafer. An electronic noise value of the detector is determined, directly or via temperature sensor 30. Low-level discriminator (LLD) 20 has a threshold value 22. The determined noise is compared against the threshold and if they differ, the LLD threshold value 22 is varied. Digital to analogue converter 32 may be set such that the threshold value, which may be variable according to a multiple of the standard deviation of the noise, tracks just above the electronic noise. An expected count of beta particles due to naturally occurring radiation may be modified according to the threshold. The remainder may be used to determine if a man-made beta particle release is likely to have occurred. The detector may comprise a filter 3 collecting dust 7 via vacuum pump 5, so that radiation of the dust can be measured.

IPC: A61B5/11
Filed: 2020-11-11
Abstract: An electronic goniometer for measuring the flexibility or range of motion of a subject receives input data comprising point coordinates in a 3D space relating to the anatomical features of the subject. Geometric parameters are obtained from the data and compared with stored parameters corresponding to movement types to determine a movement type of the subject. The point coordinates or dots may correspond to a person’s joints, limbs or bones and the positions, motions, angles or speeds of movement of the coordinates may be determined. A protractor image 1400 may be superimposed over the image to visually demonstrate the person’s range of motion and may highlight if they are overcompensating with another body part. The protractor 1400 may be displayed in real time over a video image of the user. In a second embodiment, the coordinate data is obtained for a 2D image. Another embodiment includes identifying if the subject’s posture is correct and alerting them if not. In a further embodiment the device is handheld and portable, uses LiDAR data and determines angles between point coordinates.

Title: Vehicle and method for propelling vehicle
Inventor: IAN CLAGUE
IPC: F03H99/00
Filed: 2021-03-08
Abstract: A vehicle 100 comprising a propulsion arrangement 102 including a chamber arrangement 104 storing antimatter by magnetic and/or electrostatic fields. The chamber and vehicle centre of gravity 106 form a matter-antimatter dipole providing a propulsion force to the vehicle, e.g. space vehicle, or deep-space satellite. Juxtaposition of antimatter, e.g. positrons near matter may result in antigravity, or negative gravity, or a gravitational repulsion between contained anti-matter and matter. Positrons may be produced by a high intensity or pulsed laser beam directed towards a target. Q-switched laser of high intensity may generate a high ratio of positrons to electrons, possibly approaching a neutral “pair plasma” with equal numbers of positrons and electrons. The target may be integrated within a tokamak ring-shaped chamber. Propulsion force may be increased by adding positrons to the chamber, and acceleration may be decreased by dissipating positrons.

Title: Devices and methods for consolidating serialized tokens
Inventor: STEVEN PATRICK COUGHLAN
IPC: G06Q20/06
Filed: 2021-04-30
Abstract: A method of consolidating tokens in a token system, such as tokens representing ownership of fungible entities. Each token has a serial number comprising a denomination code, a root identifier, and a leaf identifier allocated to the denomination code. The tokens to be consolidated represent denominations selected from a defined ordered set of denominations that, when summed, equate to a larger denomination from the set. For example, the tokens may represent fiat currency banknotes wherein two £10 tokens are consolidated into a single £20 token. A candidate root identifier and candidate leaf identifier allocated to the larger denomination are identified. If the combination of the identified root and leaf identifiers are available for use, a new token is generated having a new serial number containing the identified root and leaf identifiers and a denomination code corresponding to the larger denomination. An issuer is notified of the consolidation and deactivation of the smaller denomination tokens to produce the consolidated larger denomination token. Root identifiers may be partitioned into a first bit-space for issued tokens and a second bit-space for consolidated tokens. The candidate root identifier may be generated by hashing a concatenation of the root identifiers of the smaller denomination tokens.
