Title: Multicast network system and method
Inventor: DAVID BUTLER
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2015-09-28
Abstract: Programmable switches are controlled so as to avoid duplicating streams when delivering multicast audio-video streams in a network (fig. 9). A request for a multicast stream is received from a destination, the request including a source IP address, multicast group IP address and destination IP address. One or more paths from the source to the destination are determined and existing streams are analysed to determine whether a stream having the same source IP address and multicast group IP address already exists on any of the links of the one or more paths. Rules are programmed into switches in the one or more paths such that for each switch only one combination of a given source IP address and multicast group IP address exists on each output port of the switch. The stream analysis may be performed at a proxy that is implemented on a server or within a network controller. The network may be an OpenFlow (RTM) Software Defined Network (SDN) and the requests may be Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) messages. The switches may be further programmed to include rules regarding priority and network congestion to supplement the rules regarding duplication of streams.

Title: Vessel anchor assembly
Inventor: BENJAMIN SMEDLEY COLLETT
IPC: B63B21/22
Filed: 2016-06-30
Abstract: A vessel anchor assembly 10 comprises an anchor arm 11 pivotable in use about a pivot axis 12 between an operative setting for lowering and raising an anchor and an inoperative setting for stowage of the anchor and an anchor 13 connected with one end of a flexible anchor line 16 which is movably guided in the length direction of the arm along a length section thereof. The line is connectable at its other end to a windlass for unreeling and reeling up the line and for maintaining tension in the line to keep the anchor in abutment with the arm at a free end thereof. Generation of slack in the line during pivotation of the arm from the operative to the inoperative setting is avoided using guide means 19 guiding the line substantially through the zone of the pivot axis thereby maintaining a substantially constant length of the line between the pivot axis and its connection with the anchor in and during pivotation of the arm between the operative and inoperative settings. Line tension keeping the anchor in abutment with the free end of the arm is thus substantially maintained without compensatory movement of the line.

Title: Salient pole rotors and methods for winding rotor coils thereon
Inventor: JACOB JOHANNES NIES
IPC: H02K15/095
Filed: 2016-12-08
Abstract: The rotor comprises a plurality of salient poles 1, each pole having a pole body 5 and an integral pole tip 4. The rotor further comprises a rotor winding with a plurality of coils, each coil having a plurality of turns and being positioned on the pole body 2B of a respective salient pole 1. Each pole body 2 includes a coil winding part 2A which has a groove section 12A, 121B so that each turn of the coil is formed under tension and pressed into the grooves before being moved to the section 2B along which the majority of the coil extends. The process causes the coil turn to be deformed such that when the pressure and tension is released the each turn has two straight axially extending sides with an inner profile different to the outer profile of the coil winding part. The void formed between the relaxed coil and the pole sections 2A,B may be filled with insulating material, non-insulating material or a combination of these. Alternatively removable end pieces having asymmetric profiles may be employed to give the same effect (figs 18-26 not shown). The method reduces distortion in particular for edge-wise wound conductors.
