Title: Data communication
Inventor: MAIRS CHRIS
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2011-10-18
Abstract: A method of establishing a communications session for communication of data with respect to at least two user devices in a data communications network. Call party details of a telephone call are received. The telephone call involves at least a first telephony user device and a second telephony user device. The call party details include a first identity associated with the first telephony user device and a second identity associated with the second telephony user device. At least one of the first and second identities comprises a telephone dialling number. A separate communications session is established on the basis of the first and second identities received in the call party details. The communications session is separate from the telephone call, for the communication of data to and/or from the at least two user devices. An identifier identifying a feature of the separate communications session that requires authorisation for use by a user device is received. In response to receipt of an authorisation indication from one of the at least two user devices, the use of the feature by at least one other of the at least two user devices is enabled.

Title: Compact, coherent, and high brightness light sources for the mid and far IR
Inventor: FERMANN MARTIN
IPC: H01S3/067
Filed: 2012-01-17
Abstract: Compact high brightness light sources for the mid and far IR spectral region, and exemplary applications are disclosed based on passively mode locked Tm fiber comb lasers. In at least one embodiment the coherence of the comb sources is increased in a system utilizing an amplified single-frequency laser to pump the Tm fiber comb laser. The optical bandwidth generated by the passively mode locked Tm fiber comb laser is further decreased by using simultaneous 2nd and 3rd order dispersion compensation using either appropriate chirped fiber Bragg gratings for dispersion compensation, or fibers with appropriately selected values of 2nd and 3rd order dispersion. Fibers with large anomalous values of third order dispersion, or fibers with large numerical apertures, for example fibers having air-holes formed in the fiber cladding may be utilized.

Title: Detecting motion in high resolution video images
Inventor: YADHUNANDAN U S
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2013-10-02
Abstract: A method for detecting motion in a high-resolution video involves the steps of dividing 102 a video frame into a number of blocks, determining 104 whether motion is present in each of the blocks and, for those blocks in which motion is determined to be present, identifying 108 pixels in which motion is present. Histogram techniques may be used to detect motion in the blocks. The blocks in which motion is identified may be marked 106 as seed blocks. A subsequent image frame may be subdivided likewise 110 and a determination made to identify motion 112 in subsequent image blocks corresponding to the seed blocks and its neighbouring blocks from the first image frame. If motion is determined in the subsequent image frame blocks, motion detection is performed to identify 114 pixels in the subsequent image frame in which motion is present. The pixels in which motion is present can be identified, for example, using a fast pixel based motion detection algorithm such as a kernel density estimation (KDE) or Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based motion detection algorithm. The method allows analysis of a high-resolution image frames to identify motion without necessarily performing pixel motion detection in all image regions which would otherwise be too computationally expensive to support real-time motion detection.

Title: Dynamic saving of registers in transactions
Inventor: HORSNELL MATTHEW JAMES
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2014-07-11
Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes data storage elements 180, each configured to store data. Mask storage circuitry 200 stores a mask and processing circuitry executes one or more instructions. A data saver 170 is configured, in response to a transactional start instruction, to select a subset of the data storage elements 190 and to save a backup of the subset of the data storage elements. Mask control circuitry 210 then updates the mask to indicate the subset of the data storage elements selected by the data saver. Finally, a monitor 320 detects write or write attempts made to one of the data storage elements not indicated by the mask. Accordingly, a user need not save all data storage elements (e.g. registers) in a system or specify precisely which data storage elements must be saved in order to perform a transaction. Instead, the set of data storage elements that must be saved can be determined and specified dynamically, and the system can respond if an attempt is made to write to a data storage element that has not been saved or backed up.

Title: Method of monitoring the pressure of an aircraft tyre
Inventor: ANDREW BILL
IPC: G01M3/32
Filed: 2015-03-20
Abstract: Monitoring the pressure of an aircraft tyre 3-8 by taking two or more tyre pressure readings from a respective pressure sensor 3a-8a and calculating a deflation rate based on the pressure readings. Each pressure reading may be normalised by the temperature of the tyre or the load applied to the landing gear 2. The pressure data may be transmitted to a cockpit computer (13, figure 3) via a wired or wireless connection. The time for the tyre to deflate to one or more reference pressure levels can be estimated from the calculated deflation rate. A warning may be provided if the estimated deflation rate exceeds a threshold value. A computer may be provided to calculate the deflation rate or estimated time(s) and these may be displayed, for example on a display (21, figure 4) in the cockpit of an aeroplane. The deflation rate may be estimated using least-squares fitting of a straight (or curved) line 30. The method and apparatus may be used for in-flight monitoring of the aircraft tyre pressure.

Title: Controlling emission of an optical pulse from a laser
Inventor: STEPHEN LEE
IPC: H01S3/11
Filed: 2015-06-05
Abstract: Controlling the emission of an optical pulse from a laser comprises pumping a gain medium for example, a Nd:YAG medium 10 of a laser at a rate which is limited so that free running passive Q-switching of the laser is prevented regardless of a duration of pumping of the gain medium. A saturable absorber 12 of the laser is triggered so as to reduce a laser cavity loss below a laser cavity gain and cause an optical pulse to be emitted from the laser at a desired emission time. This may provide for the reduction of pulse-to-pulse timing jitter, the control of energy of the emitted optical pulse and/or for the suppression of the emission of multiple optical pulses that may otherwise occur for free-running passive Q-switching of the laser for sufficient gain medium pumping rates. Apparatus 2 may include a light emitting diode LED 20 coupled to the saturable absorber 12 via optical elements and an LED driver 24.

Also claimed are methods and systems where the meta-data is then used to decide whether one or more other blocks of data should be processed, the meta-data is used to affect the processing of the block of data, or one or more other blocks of data. A fifth method and system also claimed is where the stored data in the output buffer represents particular regions of a first output array of data and the block of data is used to generate a second output array, where the meta-data is used to determine the rate or sample count used to generate the second output array.

Title: An underwire for a brassiere and a brassiere incorporating same
Inventor: Gerhard Fidan
IPC: A41C3/14
Filed: 2015-10-05
Abstract: An underwire 1, suitable for a bra and constructed from a unitary piece of plastic material, comprises an elongate substantially U-shaped body 3 having a chest-engaging portion 5 and a breast-engaging portion 7. Both portions 5, 7 are connected together along their lengths in a dogleg-shaped configuration, at an angle of 110 to 140 degrees with respect to each other. The breast-engaging portion 7 is shorter than the chest-engaging portion 5 which leaves relatively flat chest-engaging portions 9, 11 at each end of the elongate body 3. These flat ends are rounded and thinned in comparison to the remainder of the chest-engaging portion. The configuration provides good support to the wearer's breast and at the same time will be more comfortable to wear and less likely to injure than other configurations.
