Title: System and methods for allowing a user to access blocked media
Inventor: REDA HARB
IPC: H04N21/475
Filed: 2017-02-07
Abstract: Accessing a blocked media asset, comprising receiving a first user identifier from a first user device and receiving a request to allow first user access to a media asset blocked for the first user. A second user with authority to approve the request is determined and a notification is sent to a second user device 402. Via the second user device, or another device, a response including a second user identifier 408 is received and, if this is verified, the second user is given an option 414 to unblock the requested media asset for access by the first user. The embodiment is a parental control system allowing the second user e.g. parent/guardian to remotely approve a request from a child to view a program that is restricted due to age restrictions. Preferably, personalised messages can be sent between users, and the parent may be able to unblock the asset or video programme for a certain amount of time or as a different version. The allowance may be conditional and the system can check compliance with the conditions before unlocking. The system may contact a third user if the response of the second user is not received in time.

Title: A timer
Inventor: STEPHEN ANTHONY GEORGE RUFF
IPC: G04F3/02
Filed: 2019-05-13
Abstract: Once the timer is triggered by an input force, there is a delay before an output force is produced. The output force may be produced by a spring urging a firing pin into a pyrotechnic. A gear arrangement 2 rotates only when the output force is produced. A sear 3 is biased to prevent the gears 2 from rotating, unless the input force moves the sear 3 out of engagement with the gears 2 as shown. The gears 2 then rotate and the output force is produced. Accidental triggering of the timer by e.g. G-forces experienced in jet aircraft may be prevented by the sear 3. The centre of gravity of the sear 3 may coincide with its rotational axis.
