Patent NZ-593486-A (NZ)
Title: Method and system for handling containers
Inventor: KELLEY PAUL V
IPC: B65B61/24
Filed: 2010-01-04
Abstract: 593486 Disclosed is a method for conveying a plurality of hot-filled plastic containers (20). Each plastic container includes a body portion and a base portion. The base portion forms a support surface for supporting the container on a substantially flat surface and has a moveable element arranged at a bottom end thereof. The moveable element is moveable substantially permanently to remove a vacuum in the container. The method comprises cooling a plurality of hot-filled and capped plastic containers, conveying the plastic containers, and then activating the movable element of each container. During cooling of the hot-filled and capped plastic containers a vacuum is created within the containers which cause temporary deformation (see position 24a to 24b) of the containers. This temporary deformation temporarily compensates for the internal vacuums therein during conveying. During conveying, the containers are conveyed such that they abut at stable touch points (55, 57). The vacuums in the containers are subsequently removed or reduced during activation of the movable element, whereby the movable element is pressed inwardly.

Title: System and method for compressing video based on latency measurements and other feedback
Inventor: MCCOOL ROBERT
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2010-03-17
Abstract: 595836 Disclosed is a video compression system comprised of a memory for storing program code and a processor for processing the program code. The code instructs the processor to encode a plurality of video tiles according to a first encoding format and transmit the plurality of encoded video tiles to a client device (205). The processor also receives feedback information from the client device (205). The feedback information is usable to determine whether data contained in the video tiles has been successfully received and/or decoded. The processor determines latency associated with communications with the client device (205). In response to detecting that one or more video tiles have not been successfully received and/or decoded, the processor takes one of two actions: If the latency is above a specified threshold, the processor encodes a new video tile according to a second encoding format which is not dependent on previously-transmitted video tiles; or If the latency is below a specified threshold, the processor encodes a new video tile according to the first encoding format. The new video tile is encoded to be dependent on a last known successfully received video tile. The processor then transmits the new video tile to the client device (205).
