Title: System and method for live streaming of content
Inventor: ROBERT HAIN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-12-03
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for recording and encoding content on a single system prior to transmitting the encoded content to a content delivery network (CDN) via a network for consumption by remote end users. Further embodiments of the present invention are configured to allow for the provision of multiple encoded content streams at multiple bitrates, where a decision as to which bitrate to employ is based at least in part on a condition of a connection between the system and the network. The condition of the network is determined by transmitting test data between the system and the network. The content streams are provided to users based on subscription type, with certain subscription types receiving varying content types (e.g., advertisements, premium content) based on the subscription type.

Filed: 2016-03-03
Abstract: In the field of fabrics, particularly those for use in clothing garments for sportspersons, a composite fabric (10) comprises a textile support layer (12) which has one or more support members (14) arranged thereupon. The or each support member (14) defines a plurality of mutually spaced support formations (18). Respective pairs of support formations (18) have a flexible membrane portion (20a — 20o) extending therebetween. Each flexible membrane portion is selectively moveable between a passive configuration in which it leaves unchanged a fluid flow (24) passing thereover and an active configuration in which it initiates turbulent flow in a fluid flow (24) passing thereover. The membrane portion(s) may be elastic. Each membrane portion, when in its passive configuration, may lie essentially taught between a corresponding pair of support formations (fig 1). When in its active configuration, each membrane may create a perturbation (26, fig 2(a)) by adopting a convex form (30, fig 2(a)) in the flow path of the fluid flow, in a second manner, a given membrane portion may create a perturbation by adopting a concave form (32, fig 2(b)). In a third manner, a given membrane portion oscillates between the convex and concave forms (fig 2(c)). The composite fabric of the invention is able to exhibit a reduced overall drag coefficient over a wide range of Reynolds number.

IPC: G08G1/00
Filed: 2016-08-22
Abstract: A city-wide network controls or monitor road vehicles, which may be in communication with the network, for example through a satellite navigation (GPS) system. The system also controls traffic signals. Vehicles not connected to the system may be permitted to enter the city at low traffic times and monitored by in-road sensors or cameras. A charge may be levied for this. The system may also monitor car park capacity such that vehicles are directed to optimal parking spaces based on their destination and/or public transport links to their destination. Charges may be levied for this. The system may provide information on traffic conditions and queues to drivers in the vehicles, as well as suggesting alternative routes. Traffic may be organised into convoys, wherein the lead vehicle in a convoy may assume control of the other vehicles. The network may assume control of vehicles and use them to block roads in emergencies. Traffic lanes may be managed, such that lanes can be switched on or off, or their directions reversed.

Title: System and methods for synchronizing media asset playback on multiple devices
Inventor: Gary sanders
IPC: H04N21/4788
Filed: 2017-02-28
Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing media asset (e.g. TV programmes, Internet content, audio, electronic books, games, etc) playback on multiple devices such as smart phones, set-top boxes (STBs), laptop or tablet computers or other media equipment. A media asset is transmitted for simultaneous display to a first device and a second device. During playback, indications of the amount of the media asset consumed by the respective devices are received. If the amount of media asset consumed by the first device is different to that consumed by the second device - one device has fallen behind in playing - playback is paused (suspended) on one or other device. Upon determining that devices have become synchronized in playback amounts of asset consumed are the same (e.g. within a threshold amount) for both devices playback is resumed (restarted). A synchronisation signal may be received from the first device, indicating amount of media asset consumed; alternatively, amount of media asset transmitted may be indicated. Timestamps, for example within a threshold time period, may be determined. An alert may be generated, indicating paused playback. Formats may be changed, e.g. lowering quality from high (HD) to standard definition (SD), if media is out of sync.
