Title: Redundant packet transmission over IP networks with buffer overwriting
Inventor: BRENNUM HALVARD
IPC: H04H20/10
Filed: 2012-03-06
Abstract: In a method for packet transmission over IP networks redundant IP packet streams are generated by an IP transmitter 32 and transmitted using separate network paths 34 to one or more IP receivers 36. At each IP receiver 36 duplicate IP packets are overwritten to form a single combined packet stream wherein when a duplicate packet is received which has identical broadcast data, such as sequence number, to a packet previously buffered, the previously buffered packet is overwritten with the newly received duplicate packet. A single receive buffer is used for all of the duplicate streams but a separate buffer may be used for forward error correction packets. By using redundant IP packet streams the effects of packet loss and of network congestion can be reduced. A device and system for packet transmission over IP networks is also provided. The arrangement is particularly embodied in SMPTE 2022 FEC transport protocol streams. A suitable size of buffer is also used to account for the maximum possible delay between the separate network paths for duplicate media packets.

Title: Using finger gestures to create and modify a chemical structure on a touch screen device
Inventor: CLARK JOHN DAVID
IPC: G16B45/00
Filed: 2012-08-08
Abstract: The application relates to using one and two finger gestures to create chemical structures on a touch screen device. The device is responsive to display a chemical formula based on the gesture that the user performs. For instance, if the user moves a figure in a circular motion, a ring of carbon atoms is displayed or if the user swipes a finger in a straight line then an alkyl chain of that length is displayed. Also, the displayed chemical structure can be altered by performing a gesture in the location of the part to be amended. For instance, pressing the touch screen near a displayed atom displays a button set allowing the user to bond a methyl group to the selected atom , swiping two fingers over a geometric isomer in a straight line informs the device to display a second, different, geometric isomer, or gesturing a check mark (tick) displays a gem dimethyl group. To aid the user in the formation of diagrams, a reaction arrow can be displayed when the user swipes a finger in a straight line, or the direction of a group of atoms can be changed by swiping two fingers in a straight line. Gestures can be also used to perform other modifications to the chemical structure such as rotations and translations (depending on which part is selected).
