Title: Remote IP network camera and server system
Filed: 2008-07-07
Abstract: An IP network camera 2 and a server system 5 is shown. The camera has detection means to detect the presence of a local internet connection and generation means to generate a predetermined outbound server address communication with the camera logging on upon detection of the local internet connection. The server is programmed with the server address and has initiation means to receive a communication from the camera and to validate the camera credentials and to send the camera log on confirmation. In use, the camera receives the confirmation and opens a TCP/UDP or other session with the server. A 6 user can communicate with the camera using the server as a relay and fooling the camera into thinking the commands come are a response to camera requests and overcomes security devices such as firewalls and network address translation. When the user requests to view live video, in order to minimize server bandwidth, the server will ask the camera and the client computer to start a connectionless UDP session with each other without having the data pass directly through the server.

Title: Method of packaging beverage & package structure
IPC: B67C3/02
Filed: 1988-09-12
Abstract: A method of packaging a beverage and a package structure has a cylindrical tube 1 over an end 3 of which is located a partition wall 2 having a restricted orifice 6. A closure wall 7 is located over the partition wall 2 and both walls are sealed, for example by crimping, to the rim of the tube 1. A primary chamber 4 is formed within the tube and a secondary chamber 8 is formed between the partition wall 2 and closure wall 7 which chambers communicate through the orifice 6. Chamber 4 is charged with beverage 11 containing gas in solution and sealed with an end wall 12 crimped to the rim 9 of the tube 1. Prior to sealing the chamber 9 is dosed with liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide so that headspace 13 in that chamber is pressurised. The package adjusts to a state of equilibrium in which beverage flows into the secondary chamber 8 to form a headspace 14 therein. Upon opening of the package with a pull tag 15 a pressure differential between the headspace 14 and 13 causes beverage and/or gas in the chamber 8 to be ejected through the orifice 6 into the beverage 11 and thereby gas in solution in the beverage to be liberated and form, or assist in the formation of, a head of froth on the beverage.

Title: A high frequency multichannel diversity differential phase shift(dpsk)communications system
IPC: H04B7/12
Filed: 1990-05-11
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB91/00682 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 11, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 11, 1993 PCT Filed Apr. 30, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO91/18458 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 28, 1991.A high frequency transmitter comprises a large number of narrowband channels spaced over a broad bandwidth transmission. In one arrangement input data to be transmitted is demultiplexed (1101) so that sections of data are transmitted in groups of channels at 50 baud (say), each 50 baud channel produces a number of diversity channels modulated using difference phase shift key (DPSK) (103) and then added (105) for transmission. In the receiver, coherent summation (803) of close-bunched channels can be used and semi-coherent channel addition (805) can be used across the complete bandwidth. The received signal is convened to digital form then processed by an FFT circuit to produce frequency bins corresponding to the transmitted diversity channel frequencies. DPSK demodulation is carried out and running averages are carried out in each channel to determine the proportion of times that the phase difference falls within allowed limits (907). A discrimination level (908) determines whether individual channels should be excised (914) because of noise corruption. The remaining channels in groups are then added together to determine each data bit received, in semi-coherent addition (905), the measured phase vectors are added vectorially and the vector sum is used to determine the data bit. In a second arrangement the channels of any one group are arranged in bunches of about 10 spread over a bandwidth of about 2 kHz (the experimentally determined coherence bandwidth) with the bunches spread over the whole transmission bandwidth. The bunch channels are added coherently and the resultants are added semi-coherently as before to determine the group data. The group data is then multiplexed to reproduce the high data rate input data. The arrangement allows high data rates to be transmitted with each of the diversity channels carrying only 50 baud.
