Title: Sachet containing ozone dissolved in oil or glycerol for release into the atmosphere of packed food
Inventor: PARKER NIGEL JOHN BRACE
IPC: A23B4/16
Filed: 2011-10-12
Abstract: A device for releasing ozone gas comprises packaging fabricated from a single or composite material, impermeable to liquids but permeable to ozone and containing glycerol, vegetable oil, or blend of vegetable oils, in which ozone is dissolved. The device is designed to maintain a predetermined level of ozone within the pack atmosphere of modified atmosphere (MA) and controlled atmosphere (CA) packed foods. The release of ozone may be promoted or controlled by a relative rise in temperature, the diffusion gradient into the packaging, the percentage saturation of the oil with ozone, the material which forms the packaging and the surface area of the packaging. The packaging material may comprise polyamide or polyethylene.

Title: Communicating Electronic Map Data Involving the Reduction of Vector Data Value Bit Lengths
Inventor: SALTER SIMON ROGER
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2011-11-24
Abstract: Communicating electronic map data to a remote vehicle, e.g. ship (103), over a network (104, 110) comprises compiling map data as at least one cell comprising a plurality of vector data records and a plurality of feature data records to, for instance, the IHO S-57 standard. During the compilation, the respective bit lengths of a plurality of vector data values are reduced and both the bit-reduced vector data values and feature data values are compressed, e.g. entropy encoded. The compressed compiled cell data, which may be an Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC), is then encrypted and digitally signed according to, for instance, the IHO S-63 standard. The encrypted and digitally signed cell data is then transmitted to a remote navigational system, which may be an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), over a network, for instance using satellite telecommunication.

Title: Storing a Screenshot of an in-vehicle display apparatus interfaced with mobile device when a remote control connection error is detected
Inventor: DUSTERHOFF KURT
IPC: H04M1/60
Filed: 2012-05-31
Abstract: A method comprising connecting a mobile device having a display to an in-vehicle device having an in-vehicle display wherein, once connected, display information to be displayed on the in-vehicle display is received from the mobile device and wherein the mobile device is remotely controllable from the in-vehicle device, thereby providing a remote control connection between the mobile device and the in-vehicle device; storing, at certain times, a buffer screenshot from the display information in a buffer memory; and if a remote control connection error is detected, storing a buffer screenshot in a storage unit. Thus, identifying which program and/or command caused the problem while the mobile device was connected to the in-vehicle device can be facilitated, thereby improving the troubleshooting of mobile device/in-vehicle device connections. Additionally, because the relevant screenshot is stored in the storage unit, the user can also access it at any time. Generally, the latest screenshot before the remote connection error is likely to contain relevant information with respect to the remote control connection error which may be appropriate when troubleshooting.

Title: Controlling production from a well
Inventor: RODGERS GEORGE JOEL
IPC: E21B33/035
Filed: 2012-06-26
Abstract: Controlling production from a well by determining (monitoring) a parameter using a numerical method 302 and proportionally controlling a choke 304 in an effort to maintain a desired parameter (e.g., a tubing head pressure (THP), bottom hole pressure (BHP), a flow rate, or water cut (WC)). For some embodiments, a time window may be used for calculating a running average of parameter samples, and a proportional Â­integral-derivative (PID) control loop may be utilized to determine the difference between the running average and a parameter setpoint and to output a signal based on the difference to adjust the choke opening accordingly. In this manner, control of production from an individual well may be more accurate and reliable. Furthermore, for multiple wells coupled to a gathering center, maintaining a constant parameter for each of the multiple wells may enable stable operation of the gathering system and desired hydrocarbon production from each of the wells.

Title: Method for producing a surface-functionalised object
Inventor: BADYAL JAS PAL SINGH
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 2012-07-18
Abstract: A method for producing a surface-functionalised object involves: (i) providing a negative mould with a surface topography complementary to that of the desired on the object; (ii) applying a functional entity to the mould surface, in an exciting medium; (iii)forming the object in or on the mould, the object being in direct contact, as it forms, with the functional entity; and (iv)releasing the object from the mould; wherein during steps (iii) and/or (iv), at least some of the functional entity is transferred from the mould to the object, whilst a proportion remains on the mould surface. The method can be used to functionalise the surface of an object as it is cast, and the mould can be re-used to form multiple replicate objects. Preferably, pulsed plasma deposition is used to deposit the functional entity on the mould surface. The functional entity may comprise a hydrophobic component, particularly a fluorinated polyacrylate. The negative mould may be produced from a natural template surface. The invention also provides an object produced using the method, and a surface-functionalised negative mould for use in the method.

Abstract: A surveillance video recording device 100 supporting composite video input includes a first video input interface 110, a second video input interface 120, a touch screen 130, an image processing unit 140 and a control unit 150. The touch screen 130 comprises a tactile / touch-sensitive input panel 131 and a display screen 133, arranged such that the touch-sensitive region of the touch panel 131 corresponds with the display region of display screen 133. The first video input interface 110 receives a first video signal 410 from camera 200. The second video input interface 120 receives a second video signal 420 from a host 300. The host may be, for example, a computer host, a Point of Sale (POS) host or an interactive advertisement host. The touch screen 130 detects a touched position to determine a first coordinate. The image processing unit 140 outputs an integrated video signal 430 to the touch screen, to display a first image corresponding to the first video signal 410 in a first sub display area/window (501, figure 2) of the touch screen 130 and to display a second image corresponding to the second video signal 420 in a second sub display area/window (502, figure 2) of the touch screen 130. When the first coordinate relating to the detected touch is located in the second sub display area/window 502, the control unit 150 converts the first coordinate (510, figure 2) into a second coordinate (520, figure 2) such that the position of the second coordinate 520 relative to the whole display screen area 133 corresponds to the first coordinates    position relative to the second sub display area/window 502. The control unit transmits the second coordinate to the host 300. The surveillance video recording device may also comprise storage unit 160 to enable recording of the first video signal.

Title: Method and apparatus for on-demand interference rejection in multi-band GNSS receivers
Inventor: DUBASH NOSHIR
IPC: H04B1/10
Filed: 2014-01-03
Abstract: An adaptive IF filter for a multiband GNSS receiver comprises a wideband filter that passes multiple signals from different GNSS systems (e.g. GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) and cross-coupling elements that convert the wideband filter into a narrowband complex band-pass filter passing a subset of the signals. Thus the IF filter can be dynamically configured as a low-pass or complex band-pass architecture, e.g. in response to detecting interference within a pass-band of the wideband filter (e.g. jamming 402, Fig.4). It can simultaneously receive multiple frequency bands, but still protect itself from close-in or in-band jammers by selecting a single frequency band or subset of frequency bands. The wideband filter may comprise a pair of low-pass OP Amp-RC filters respectively coupled to in-phase and quadrature signals corresponding to the multiple signals and the cross-coupling elements may comprise a switched resistor block coupled between the low-pass filters.
