Patent number: 9170319Abstract: A method of determining the position of an underwater node. The positions of three or more transmitters are determined. Each transmitter transmits at least four pulses, wherein a time difference between each pulse and a previous one of the pulses is proportional to a respective co-ordinate of the position of the transmitter. The pulses are received at the underwater node and decoded by measuring the delays between them, thereby determining the co-ordinates of the transmitters. The range of each transmitter relative to the underwater node is also determined. Finally the position of the underwater node is determined in accordance with the co-ordinates and ranges. Any errors in the measurements of the delays between the pulses only translate into small errors in the determined position because of the proportionality between the delays and the coordinates. Therefore if there is a gradual decrease of signal-to-noise ratio then the accuracy of the position estimate also degrades gradually.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: GO SCIENCE GROUP LTDInventors: Harry George Dennis Gosling, Roman Lloyd Kingsland, Arran James Holloway

Publication number: 20140292592Abstract: An annular vehicle having a body which defines a body axis and appears substantially annular when viewed along the body axis. The interior of the annulus defines a duct which is open at both ends. The vehicle includes an electric field (EF) coupled dipole antenna arrangement for electro-magnetic communications, which includes at least one dipole antenna. The vehicle is used as a node in an underwater communications system for communicating with other node(s) using their EF coupled dipole antenna arrangements. The electric field coupled dipole antenna arrangement can provide communications with lower latency than systems employing acoustic communications. The annular body provides good separation for electrodes of the EF coupled dipole antenna arrangement disposed around the body.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2012Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: GO SCIENCE GROUP LTD.Inventors: Harry George Dennis Gosling, Arran James Holloway

Publication number: 20090279100Abstract: An optical element has a member having features which interact with incident light to produce two or more resultant beams. The configuration of the optical element is such that light which interacts with said features when passing through the member from a first side to produce two or more resultant beams does not interact with said features when returned to another side of the member and/or vice versa. The optical element may be used in a readhead of a scale and readhead apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2007Publication date: November 12, 2009Applicant: RENISHAW PLCInventors: David Roberts McMurtry, Alan James Holloway, Jason Kempton Slack, Marcus Ardron, James Christopher Reynolds

Patent number: 7141780Abstract: A measurement scale (20) is movable in plane x relative to a mask (10) and photodetector (30). When a pattern of apertures in the mask (10) are in correlation with a pattern of apertures e.g. a reference mark in the scale (20) then light bands a b and c may propagate to the detector (30). The relative sizes of the patterns is such that the light bands converge at the detector (30). Other embodiments show light divergent and light inversion correlation of incongruent patterns.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2002Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Renishaw PLCInventors: Michael Homer, Alan James Holloway, Iain Robert Gordon-Ingram

Publication number: 20060045617Abstract: A high-impact, energy-absorbing vehicle barrier system generally includes a substantially rigid outer containment wall coupled via strap assemblies with an energy-absorbing inner impact wall, and energy-absorbing cartridges strategically positioned between the impact wall and containment wall. The impact wall is constructed of a number of tubes coupled with one another to present a substantially smooth, uniform surface to passing vehicles. The energy-absorbing cartridges generally consist of a foam member or a number of foam sheets which compress and crush between the containment wall and impact wall to absorb energy from an errant vehicle striking the face of the impact wall, while the deflection and deformation of the impact wall tubes dissipates additional energy to reduce peak decelerations and mitigate the severity of high-energy vehicular impacts.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2005Publication date: March 2, 2006Applicant: Board of Regents of University of NebraskaInventors: Ronald Faller, Dean Sicking, John Rohde, John Reid, Robert Bielenberg, James Holloway, Karla Polivka

Publication number: 20050260571Abstract: Members of the serine protease family play a role in carefully controlled processes, such as blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, complement activation, fertilization, and hormone production. The enzymatic activity of the serine proteases is regulated in part by serpins, serine protease inhibitors. Serpin dysfunction is associated with various disorders, including emphysema, blood clotting disorders, cirrhosis, Alzheimer disease, and Parkinson disease.
