Patent number: 11975369Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for separating an amount of a substance from groundwater, comprising an elongate chamber (18) having an inlet (22) which is arranged in use to admit groundwater into the chamber near a lower first end (24). There is also a gas sparger (26) located near the first end (24) which admits gas into the chamber for inducing groundwater to flow from the first end (24) of the chamber toward a second end upper end, and for producing a froth layer (32) which rises above an interface with the groundwater including a concentrated amount of the substance. A suction hood (38) can be moved downward from the top of the chamber (18) into a position to collapse the froth layer (32) and to cause it to be removed from the well body (14). The suction hood (38) (acting as a froth depth regulation device) controls the amount of groundwater in the froth layer (32), which influences the concentration of the contaminant substance achieved in the froth layer (32).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: OPEC Remediation Technologies Pty LimitedInventors: Steven Edward Phillips, Gregory Raymond Brickle, David John Burns

Publication number: 20240141867Abstract: The present disclosure relates to and envisages a jetstream power generating system. Producing electric power from jetstream force presents specific, daunting, physics-based challenges, because jetstream forces are 30 to 50 times stronger than wind on the ground. The system is configured to harness the energy of these jetstream forces in farms as power generating infrastructure. The system comprises an airborne element configured to be subjected to lift forces while flying in a jetstream, a capstan drum, a tether coupled between the airborne element and the capstan drum, an arcuate guide track, a kite tracker displaceably mounted on the guide track, a conversion unit coupled to the capstan drum, a plurality of accumulators configured to fluidly communicate with the conversion unit, and a generator.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Gregory Howard Hastings, David John Hartshorne, John Ross Allen, Dale Richard Gluck

Patent number: 11961083Abstract: Item images and item information for an item identified as being associated with a potential theft during a transaction at a transaction terminal are sent in real time to an alert controller of a management terminal. The item images and item information with transaction details are presented on a display for resolution by a clerk operating the management terminal. A timer is also set and a confidence score calculated representing a confidence level that the item is the subject of theft. When the timer expires and there is still no resolution provided by the clerk a decision is made as to whether to interrupt the transaction processing on the transaction terminal for assistance or whether to permit the transaction to complete on the transaction terminal based on the calculated confidence score.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: NCR Voyix CorporationInventors: Christopher John Costello, Gregory Scott Egan

Publication number: 20240119810Abstract: Visual features of a vehicle, a vehicle's orientation with respect to a transaction terminal, and an individual associated with the vehicle are derived from video captured of the terminal and a surrounding area of the terminal. Additional information associated with brute force attacks in a location associated with the terminal are obtained as additional features. The visual features and the additional features are provided as input to a trained Machine-Learning Model (MLM) and the MLM provides as output a confidence value representing a prediction as to whether the current vehicle and the current individual are potentially about to engage in a brute force attack on the terminal. When the confidence value exceeds a threshold value, enhanced feature detection is enabled on the video, external systems are notified, and an incident packet of information is assembled.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Jodessiah Sumpter, Christopher John Costello, Matthew Robert Burris, Gregory Joseph Hartl, Caleb Wayne Martinez

Publication number: 20240119809Abstract: Payment card slot tampering at a transaction terminal is detected in real time. One or more images from one or more cameras are analyzed. The camera(s) is/are focused overhead of the terminal on an area adjacent to and in front of a card slot for a card reader of the terminal. The images are analyzed for determining whether hands of arms for an operator of the terminal are performing actions that indicate the operator may be attempting to install a card skimmer/shimmer into the card slot and/or attempting to remove an existing skimmer/shimmer from the card slot. When card slot tampering event is detected at the terminal a variety of automated actions are processed, such as shutting down the card reader, shutting down the terminal, confiscating any payment card inserted into the card slot, notifying a financial institution, and/or notifying legal authorities.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Matthew Robert Burris, Christopher John Costello, Gregory Joseph Hartl, Caleb Wayne Martinez, Jodessiah Sumpter
