Publication number: 20240027602Abstract: This invention relates to methods and devices for detection of motion. Embodiments of the invention provide a method of detecting motion of an object using a wireless transceiver device, the method including the steps of: transmitting wireless signals from a transmitter element in the transceiver device, the signals being reflected by the object; receiving the signals reflected by the object in a receiver element in the transceiver device; estimating at least one channel characteristic from the reflected signals; applying a time and/or frequency domain analysis to the estimated channel characteristic; detecting any variation in the estimated channel characteristic over time; and detecting motion of the object based on the detected variation. A wireless transceiver device arranged to detect motion is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2020Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Anas AL RAWI, Ian COOPER, Ubaid ur R AHMAD, Trevor MORSMAN, Nawaf ALMOOSA

Patent number: 11845725Abstract: This invention relates to compounds of formula (I) and methods of treatment using the compounds. The compounds of the invention can be used in combination with antibacterial agents to treat bacterial infections. More specifically, the compounds of formula (I) can be used in combination with a class of antibacterial agents known as carbapenems. The novel compounds of the present invention are enzyme inhibitors and more particularly are metallo-?-lactamase inhibitors.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: INFEX Therapeutics LimitedInventors: Ian Cooper, David Orr, Andrew Wilkinson, Jonathan Finlayson, Adam Bunt, Pia Appelqvist, Hans Wallberg, Fredrik Wångsell

Patent number: 11719210Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a controller for a starter motor operable to receive a first input indicative of an engine shutdown being required, a second input indicative of a change-of-mind event having occurred after initiation of engine shutdown and a third input indicative of the engine position. After receipt of the first input the controller is operable to monitor the third input and to determine an expected engine rotation direction indicative of the expected rotation direction of the engine after a predetermined delay. If the expected engine rotation direction is positive and the second input is received then the controller is configured to control the output means to cause the starter motor of the engine to be actuated upon receipt of the second input.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: JAGUAR LAND ROVER LIMITEDInventors: Adam Moorcroft, Stephen Stacey, Ian Cooper

Patent number: 11265089Abstract: A power distributor for a communications system for controlling delivery of electrical power drawn over a plurality of electrical communications connections allocated to respective customer premises equipment, to provide electrical power to network components within a network is arranged to control collection of electrical power to be drawn from each connection in accordance with power requirements of services operated by or for its respective customer premises equipment, independent of the identities of the electrical connections used to deliver those services. In particular when electrical connections are not being used by their respective customers they may instead be used by a beam-forming system to support improved service to a customer associated with a different connection, and the additional electrical power to power the beam-former is drawn from the connection associated with the customer receiving the enhanced service.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: British Telecommunications Public Limited CompanyInventor: Ian Cooper
