Title: Adjusting transport stream data rate based on comparison of timestamps inserted in packets with a locally-generated reference
Inventor: KURIHARA SHINICHI
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2007-11-30
Abstract: In a transport stream (TS) distribution system, a transmission rate control unit (13) uses times generated from a time generation unit (14) to generate the same transmission time stamps (TTS) as those to be added to TS packets using a clock in the transmission server (11). The TS packets are converted to IP format in unit 12 for transmission along a network connection (20). The unit 13 takes in an IP packet output from unit 12, obtains the TTS added to the packet, and compares the TTS with the time stamp generated internally to determine whether or not they coincide. If they coincide, the unit takes in a TTS of the next TS packet, and otherwise, the system obtains a difference between a time indicating the TTS and the time indicating the internally generated time stamp to calculate a transmission rate correction value equivalent to the value of the difference, and issues the calculated correction value to the processing unit to correct the transmission rate.

Title: Limiting the power generated by an electric generator
Inventor: FORSTER IAN
IPC: H02J7/16
Filed: 2008-09-30
Abstract: An electric generator system 1 comprises a generator 2 and a control system 10 that generates a power signal 12 representing the generated current, an electronic controller 14. The controller generates a digitised output demand signal 18 for the generator 2 which extends across a range of values including a lower and a higher range. The controller determines for each range of values a rate of change in the power signal 12 with changes in the digitised demand signal 18) and stores them in a memory 15. The controller compares the rates of change and restricts the operation of the generator 2 at higher demanded electrical power when the ratio of the higher demand rate of change (fig 2, 22) to the lower demand rate of change (fig 2, 20) is below a threshold. The threshold may be stored in memory and vary depending on generator usage time and the demand may depend upon an input 16 from a consumer such as a battery to be charged. The control system may be used to control a vehicle alternator which can thereby produce maximum current efficiently at or just below the saturation point without accurate measurement of the output current.
