Title: Wearable assembly, system and method
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN LYNCH
IPC: G06V20/20
Filed: 2020-09-10
Abstract: An electronics module 4 for a wearable assembly (e.g. a smart-watch or garment) with a controller (16, fig.2) that receives a wearer’s activity data from a connected sensor 2, 3, and a communicator (14, fig.2) for wirelessly transmitting two associated electronic module identifiers to an external device 200. The first identifier may be a radio-frequency identification code (RFID) and the second may be an illumination pattern of a set of LEDs. Activity data can be read and displayed (fig. 10) by: reading two associated identifiers for one or more modules, obtaining activity data from the modules, obtaining a second module identifier from a single module, identifying the first module identifier associated with the obtained second module identifier, and accessing and displaying the activity data for that module. The reader includes separate readers for each of the two electronic module identifiers, memory for storing identifiers, a display, and a controller for carrying out the method above. The second identifier may be a machine-readable visual marking on the housing of the electronic module that acts as an augmented reality (AR) marker for displaying data associated with the wearer of a garment in an AR display (fig. 6).
Patent GB-2601532-A (GB)
Title: Gate driver
Inventor: STEPHEN GREETHAM
IPC: H02M1/32
Filed: 2020-12-03
Abstract: A gate driver 37a,b for driving switches SW1-SW4. The driver includes inputs for receiving a signal indicative of the polarity of a voltage or current V_POL, I_POL, and outputs for gate signals G1, G2 for driving the switches. In response to a fault condition the gate driver generates gate signals that depend on the polarity. Fault protection logic may be used to generate different sequences of gate signals depending on whether the polarity is negative or positive (Fig. 14). The gate driver is used in the control unit of a drive circuit for a brushless motor. A controller 38 provides signals to the gate-driver to operate the switches of a converter connected to a phase-winding 21 of the motor. The control unit includes a sensor and a controller, wherein the sensor generates a signal indicative of the polarity of a voltage or current of the converter, and in response to a fault condition the gate-driver generates signals in dependence on that polarity. The switches may be bidirectional, with OFF, ON and diode settings in either direction. The gate driver allows a motor to be driven from an AC supply without the need for a rectifier or a power factor correction stage.

Title: Reducing controller updates in a control loop
Inventor: TERRENCE L BLEVINS
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2016-09-13
Abstract: A feedback type of control routine uses an attribute of a controlled device 102 in a process 101 as a feedback variable to generate a control signal value. A communications routine sends a new control signal, based on the control signal value, to the controlled device. The new control signal includes a target value 103 for the controlled device and a time to implement the target value. The process control routine determines an expected attribute of the controlled device as the feedback variable assuming that the controlled device implemented the target value at the time to implement the target value prior to receiving an indication of a measured attribute value of the controlled device. This technique is very useful in a control system having wirelessly connected field devices, such as sensors and valves where a control system receives intermittent, non-synchronized or delayed process variable measurements to be used as feedback signals in closed-loop control. The filter 116 provides an expected process response signal. The expected process response may be produced by a model of the process to determine integral or reset contribution.

Filed: 2018-10-16
Abstract: Methods and systems for installation of a liner inside a conduit (e.g., water pipe) to transport a fluid (e.g., potable water) to rehabilitate the conduit, in which the liner can be installed, and thus the conduit can be rehabilitated, more efficiently, including, for example, by further reducing an extent of digging that may have to be done, by testing more readily (e.g., pressure-testing for watertightness or other fluid-tightness once installed), and/or by adapting to a cross-sectional size of the conduit. Also, the liner may be thinner, interact better (e.g., less) with the fluid flowing through the conduit, and/or be otherwise designed to enhance its use and performance.

In addition, the valve (2) can achieve a buffering effect on the flowing of fluid, avoiding the hidden danger of excessively fast fluid flow, and also preventing the fluid outside the pipe wall (1) from flowing to the inside of the pipe wall through the valve (2) and causing fluid contamination.
Patent GB-2603251-A (GB)
Title: Gate mechanism
Inventor: Paul G Fernandes
IPC: F03B3/12
Filed: 2021-11-09
Abstract: A rotary gate mechanism 20 is mounted within a trawl net and comprises a water turbine that rotates the gate when dragged along. Lateral openings 70 are selectively closed by outer sliding doors (48, Fig. 6), allowing escape of unwanted species when open. Inner openings (33, Fig. 3) through a fixed conical baffle are selectively closed by inner sliding doors (46, Fig. 6), allowing desired fish species to proceed inside the net when open. The inner and outer doors form a unitary gate structure that rotates with the turbine, so that the gate alternates between directing catch into and out of the net. A latch mechanism stops the gate in each of its operating positions, so that when released the gate rotates to the next position and remains there until unlatched again. A stereo camera system 80 ahead of the gate mechanism provides automated species detection and triggers unlatching of the gate to allow its sequential rotation between the inward capture and outward bycatch ejection positions. The turbine may be integral to the doors, e.g. comprising helical ridges (247, Fig. 14) along the doors to form a screw.

IPC: D04B5/00
Filed: 2020-06-18
Abstract: The invention relates to apparatus and a method for forming a knitted item from at least one length of material. The material is cast onto a ring of upstanding formations, and a drive force is applied to a drive assembly including a hook member, and to the ring to move the ring in a stepwise manner to move the upstanding formations, in turn, to the location of movement of the said hook member. The hook member is moved by the drive assembly to move a portion of material at the first side of the upstanding formation over a newly supplied part of the material and over the upstanding formation to move said material to the opposing side of the upstanding formation to form a knitted stitch. Movement of the ring and hook member is synchronised and continued in a sequential manner to form the said knitted item.

Title: Temporal spilt techniques for monitoring blue and ray intersection
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER A BURNS
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2022-03-17
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to ray intersection in the context of motion blur. In some embodiments, a graphics processor includes time-oblivious ray intersect circuitry configured to receive coordinates for a ray and traverse a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) data structure based on the coordinates to determine whether the ray intersects with one or more bounding regions of a graphics space. In some embodiments, in response to reaching a temporal branch element of the BVH data structure, the ray intersect circuitry initiates a shader program that determines a sub-tree of the BVH data structure for further traversal by the ray intersection circuitry, where the sub-tree corresponds to a portion of a motion-blur interval in which the ray falls. This may provide accurate ray tracing for motion blur while reducing area and power consumption of intersect circuitry, relative to time-aware implementations.
