20110175708 | RFID MEMORY DEVICES - An RFID memory device includes two arrays of resonant members. A first array extends in a first member direction and a second array extends in a second member direction. The device includes one or more elements for transforming energy associated with vibration of the resonant members into a change in impedance of an electrical equivalent circuit of the memory device. The magnitude of impedance change caused by resonance of the first resonant members is maximised at a different magnetic field direction to that at which the magnitude of the impedance change caused by resonance of the second resonant members is maximised. Thus, different data may be encoded on each array and separately read. The resonant members may form part of a common electrical conductor that forms a coupling element for coupling with an applied excitation signal and causing vibration of the resonant members. | 07-21-2011 |

20130057204 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING ELECTRIC ENERGY TO A VEHICLE - A system for transferring electric energy to a vehicle, in particular to a track bound vehicle such as a light rail vehicle, includes an electric conductor arrangement for producing an alternating electromagnetic field and for thereby transferring electromagnetic energy to the vehicle. The vehicle includes at least one receiver for receiving the electromagnetic energy and at least one signal transmitter adapted to repeatedly or continuously emit an enable signal towards the track. The vehicle also includes a transmitter control arrangement adapted to stop transmitting the enable signal if the receiver or if any device combined with the receiver is not to be operated. | 03-07-2013 |

20080223073 | ACCUMULATOR WITH DEFLECTOR - A deflector for an accumulator for an air conditioning system acts as a barrier to substantially prevent incoming liquid from entering a conduit which is primarily for gas. Fluid entering the accumulator comprises gas and liquid. The deflector also assists with the separation of gas from liquid, with reduced turbulence, to decrease the likelihood of liquid becoming re-entrained within the gas. An initial contact surface of the deflector receives the incoming fluid. The initial contact surface is substantially convex, so that liquid reflecting off the surface will be travel in a direction away (or different) from the flow of incoming fluid. The initial contact surface is also angled to direct liquid reflecting off it (or flowing down it) downward and outward. | 09-18-2008 |
20120318624 | DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF A VEHICLE - An arrangement for detecting the presence of a moving vehicle includes an emitting antenna adapted to emit an electromagnetic field in a range of emitting directions and mounted on the vehicle. | 12-20-2012 |
20120326498 | PROVIDING A PLURALITY OF VEHICLES, IN PARTICULAR TRACK BOUND VEHICLES, WITH ELECTRIC ENERGY - An arrangement for providing a plurality of vehicles, in particular track bound vehicles, with electric energy, includes an electric conductor arrangement for producing alternating electromagnetic fields and for thereby transferring electromagnetic energy to the vehicles. The conductor arrangement includes a plurality of consecutive segments, wherein each segment comprises at least one phase line for carrying a phase of an alternating current. Corresponding phase lines of neighbouring consecutive segments are connected in series to each other. The arrangement further includes a direct current power supply line for supplying electric energy to the segments. A switching device for producing the alternating current of the conductor arrangement from the current carried by the, power supply line is connected to each interface between two neighbouring consecutive segments. The arrangement also includes a control device for controlling the operation of the switching devices. | 12-27-2012 |

20160123878 | PLASMONIC HYDROGEN DETECTION - A plasmonic hydrogen detector and method of constructing a plasmonic hydrogen detector. The plasmonic hydrogen detector comprises: a structure comprising a support and a plurality of nanostructure elements. The plurality of nanostructure elements comprise a plasmonic material and a hydrogen sensitive material. The plurality of nanostructure elements are configured on the support to allow the structure to act as a plasmonic metamaterial. The hydrogen sensitive material is configured to cause a change in permittivity of the plasmonic metamaterial in the presence of hydrogen. Aspects and embodiments described recognise that use of a plasmonic metamaterial as a hydrogen detector can result in a highly sensitive detector. That sensitivity stems from the sensitivity of strong plasmonic coupling between individual nanostructure elements in the metamaterial to external perturbations, for example, as a result of a physical or chemical environmental change. | 05-05-2016 |
