Patent number: 11964129Abstract: In various embodiments, a drug pump includes a housing and, within the housing, an expandable drug reservoir at least part of which is exposed to a pressurized propellant. The propellant exerts a substantially constant pressure on the drug reservoir. A flow restrictor significantly limits outflow from the pump, and preferably has both a small diameter and a long path length, which acts to control the outflow from the drug reservoir. As a result, the pump produces a substantially constant outflow.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: MiniPumps LLCInventors: Jason Shih, Gregory Harbers, Richard Purvis, Miho Matsuoka, Andrew Urazaki, Mark Humayun, William Andrew Brandt, Atoosa Lotfi, Didier Sagan, Andrew Dunn

Publication number: 20230260153Abstract: This disclosure relates to navigation of an underground mining machine. A laser range finder captures first and second 3D point clouds of first and second overlapping parts of the underground mine from first and second positions of the mining machine respectively. A processor determines a first set of candidates for rock bolts as point feature objects from the first 3D point cloud; determines a second set of candidates for rock bolts as point feature objects from the second 3D point cloud; determines an alignment between first shapes defined by at least two of the first set of candidates for rock bolts and second shapes defined by at least two of the second set of candidates for rock bolts; and determines relative location information between the first position of the mining machine and the second position of the mining machine based on the alignment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2021Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATIONInventors: Kevin Saric, Mark Dunn, Peter Reid, Jeremy Thompson, John Malos

Patent number: 11536597Abstract: Described herein is a device (1) for measuring parameters of a material (3) flowing along a passage (5), the passage having two longitudinally spaced apart ends and transverse sides defined by one or more sidewalls (7, 9). The device (1) includes a laser source (15) positioned at a first location within or adjacent a side of the passage (5) and configured to generate a laser beam (17) at one or more predetermined frequencies. A beam projection element (21, 27) projects the laser beam (17) transversely across the passage (5) to irradiate the material (3) within a measuring zone (19). The measuring zone (19) includes a transverse region extending greater than 50% of the width of the passage (5). An optical imaging device (29) is positioned at a second location within or adjacent the passage (5) and configured to capture images of backscattered light from material (3) within the measuring zone (19).Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: John Malos, Mark Dunn, Peter Reid

Patent number: 11506053Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for controlling a mining machine within an underground mine. A rotatable laser source sends laser light and return light sensor receives reflected laser light and provides an indication of distance and return light intensity at multiple different rotation angles. A co-ordinate reference point comprises a pattern of varying reflectivity and provides at least a 2D co-ordinate position. A processor determines an absolute co-ordinate position in space of the mining machine as the mining machine moves through the underground mine. The processor collects intensity values of reflected laser light for multiple respective rotation angles and detects the pattern of the reference point in the multiple intensity values of reflected laser light, and determines the absolute co-ordinate position in space of the mining machine based on spatial information of the detected pattern.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: Mark Dunn, Peter Reid, Jeremy Thompson, Camrin Peacock, Kevin Saric

Patent number: 11226203Abstract: This disclosure relates to an underground mining vehicle comprising a three-axis MEMS gyroscope rotatable about a rotation axis and a gyroscope interface that calculates a first rotation rate bias with respect to a first axis different to the rotation axis, a second rotation rate bias with respect to a second axis different to the first axis and different to the rotation axis, a rotation rate about the rotation axis based on the Earth rotation rate vector by correcting the rotational measurement data using the first rotation rate bias and the second rotation rate bias and a third rotation rate bias with respect to the rotation axis based on the calculated rotation rate about the rotation axis. A navigation unit receives the first rotation rate bias, the second rotation rate bias and the third rotation rate bias and calculates a pose of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATIONInventors: Peter Reid, John Malos, Mark Dunn, Alexander Pitt

Patent number: 9021531Abstract: Using a TV, a viewer watching broadcast TV or Internet video content on a display can select a “Video Search” application indicating viewer desire to obtain information about a currently playing video program. The application is invoked to send a name of the currently playing video program to a server on the Internet and associated with a database to cause the server to execute a search only of the database associated with the Internet server and not to execute a search of the Internet. The server returns metadata related to the currently playing video program, which is presented on the display along with the currently playing video program.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Seth Hill, Jaime Chee, Ted Mark Dunn
