Title: Impact sensitive sports rebound wall
Inventor: COX JULIAN
IPC: A63B63/00
Filed: 2013-03-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a sports rebound wall (10, figure 2) comprising a rebound surface 12, at least one target area formed in the rebound surface 12, and a resistive matrix sensor (1) formed on, or embedded in, the target area. The matrix sensor consists of a first array of substantially parallel conductive tracks (3, figure 1) and a second array of substantially parallel conductive tracks (4, figure 1) where the first and second arrays are spaced apart from one another. The rebound wall is advantageous in that it comprises a matrix sensor that is capable of providing information about the force, location and timing at which the target area of the sports rebound wall is impacted. This is made possible by the specific construction of the matrix sensor. The rebound surface may be coated with a protective impact layer and the sensor may be embedded behind the impact layer. A method is also defined, providing a suitable projectile for propelling against a target area of the rebound surface and using the resistive matrix sensor to detect the location, force and timing of impacts, where appropriate feedback is given.

Title: Estimating processor load
Inventor: VENU ANNAMRAJU
IPC: H04N19/156
Filed: 2015-07-31
Abstract: Estimating processor load for an encoder in a device for transmitting a media stream involves encoding first and second media frames, determining a first time period between first and second timestamps associated with first and second frames respectively, determining a second time period between first and second completion times for the respective frames, and forming a measure of processor load based on a difference between first and second time periods. The device may comprise a packetiser to form RTP packets. Transmission bandwidth or quality of frames may be changed in response to network delay or processor load. A network condition between a transmitting device with a media stream encoder with processor and another network device is identified in dependence on a change in the delay in receiving media over the network and the measure of load on the processor. A controller in a receiving device adjusts the measure of delay in a network based on the measure of processor load received from a device transmitting the media stream.
