Patent GB-2563506-A (GB)
Title: Connector
Inventor: JOHN CHRISTOPHER HOLROYD BARKER
IPC: H01H3/02
Filed: 2017-11-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a mechanical connector for fasteners associated with cords, belts, straps and the like. More specifically, the invention relates to a mechanical connector for the connection of two components, with a sensor or switch such as an electrical switch operable to confirm association whereby, for example, to enable performance of a function in a system. Motor boat personnel have been known to fall overboard from a boat, from time to time. In the case of the pilot of a motor boat, especially a lone pilot, it has been known for the boat to continue its operation without an operator. Kill-switch systems have been developed so as to prevent movement of a vehicle once the kill-switch has been activated. The kill-switch key must be distinguished from a key used to operate a boat - or other motorised personal vehicle generally, since the key is operable to enable the vehicle to move and so, in one sense, could disengage a drive shaft, for example, although typically disables the ignition such that the engine is killed. Should the operator fall overboard, the lanyard would become taught and would subsequently pull the latch¬ key from the switch, breaking the electric circuit of the engine ignition system, turning off, or "killing" the engine. The present invention seeks to provide an improved fastener for use with a security device such as a kill-cord device.

Title: Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a video bitstream for merging regions of interest
Inventor: NAËL OUEDRAOGO
IPC: H04N19/70
Filed: 2019-05-28
Abstract: Encoding video data 502 where pictures are divided into picture portions (e.g. tiles/bricks) grouped into picture portion groups (e.g. slices) by: identifying certain picture portion groups with a header comprising at least one identifier of a parameter set (e.g. adaptation parameter set APS); generating rewriting information comprising a new value 521 of the identifier 511 of the parameter set; encoding the video data into a bitstream comprising the picture portion group and the rewriting information. When decoding the rewriting information is parsed/read and picture portion group or slice header information is updated with the new parameter set id value. The method avoids having to decode or parse slice headers when splicing or merging bitstreams 500, 501 that have different parameter sets 510, 511 with the same identifiers. Preferably the rewriting information is placed in a supplementary enhancement information (SEI) NAL unit and specifies old and new values of an APS identifier for a subset of slices. Any of the designated slices with an identifier matching an old value has it substituted (upon decoding) for the corresponding new value. Alternatively, the information may be in an APS and may designate new values of a picture parameter set (PPS).
