  • Publication number: 20250319880
    Abstract: A device, system and methodology for horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) testing. Prior to a test subject taking an action that is verboten in an impaired state, such as driving a vehicle or operating complex or dangerous machinery, the test subject is positioned within a face recognition box of a screen and a HGN simulation test performed, capturing HGN eye movements of the test subject from which the present HGN physiological state of the test subject is determined. The present HGN physiological state of the test subject is compared to a reference HGN state to determine whether the test subject is impaired. Impairment causes temporary restriction of the functionality of the machinery or vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11879068
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a corrosion inhibitor and a corrosion inhibiting coating provided for coating a metal, particularly but not exclusively steel. The inhibitors pigment will also protect aluminium and magnesium alloys. The corrosion inhibitor particularly protects a sacrificial coating such as zinc or zinc alloy on galvanised steel, which in turn therefore provides improved corrosion resistance to the underlying steel. The present invention comprises an organic cation in a cation exchange resin.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220389235
    Abstract: A corrosion inhibiting additive and a corrosion inhibiting coating including the additive for providing corrosion resistance to a metal are provided. The corrosion inhibiting additive includes a first corrosion inhibiter comprising an organic cation in a cation exchange resin and a second corrosion inhibiter includes a phosphate compound. The corrosion inhibiting additive is for incorporation into a coating having at least a polymer binder.

  • Patent number: 11352702
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a corrosion inhibitor and inhibitor provided within a coating material for coating a metal, particularly but not exclusively steel. The corrosion inhibitor in a coating particularly protects a sacrificial coating such as zinc or zinc alloy on galvanised steel which in turn therefore provides improved corrosion resistance to the underlying steel. According to an aspect of the invention there is a corrosion inhibitor provided in a polymer binder, the corrosion inhibitor comprising an organic ion in an ion exchange resin.
