Title: Analysing images to find a group of connected foreground pixels, and if it is present recording the background and foreground using different methods
Inventor: HENSON MICHAEL ANTHONY
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2009-05-13
Abstract: A sequence of images received from a camera is recorded. A background model is defined using said images. Each of said images is analysed to determine whether at least one group of connected foreground pixels is present. If a group of connected foreground pixels is not present, the image is stored according to a first procedure. If one of more groups of connected foreground pixels are present, then for each of the groups an area of interest of the image that covers the group of connected foreground pixels is identified, and the area of interest is stored according to a second procedure. The system may inform an observer if a pixel grouping is detected. The first procedure may be a low definition method eg high compression rate with data loss, and the second procedure a high definition method eg low compression with zero data loss. The background model may be defined by regularly storing an image.

Title: A new or improved mode of or means for assembling and tensioning the wire striking faces of metallic racquets and the like
IPC: A63B51/14
Filed: 1923-04-14
Abstract: 218,756. Gower, F. W., Owen, H. J., and Nash, R. J. April 14, 1923. Rackets.-A method of tensioning the striking face of a racket consists in wiring the frame evenly in one direction, then elongating the frame in the direction of the wires in order to strain them, next cross-wiring the frame while it is in this strained condition, and finally releasing the frame so that it will reshape itself and distribute the tension in the wiring. Apparatus for carrying out the process is shown in plan in Fig. 1 and comprises a rectangular frame 1 and two clamping-members, 3, 4, which can be moved relatively to one another by a screw 5. The frame 9 of the racket, which may be of the kind described in Specification 210,485, is first wired longitudinally and the ends of the wire are secured to the frame. The frame is then placed between the members 3, 4 as shown and squeezed laterally, so that it becomes elongated and the wires are stressed above the normal tension. The frame is then wired transversely, the tension of the wires being a little below the normal. After being released from the clamp, the frame contracts longitudinally and distributes the tension in the wires. In a modification, the frame is extended by means of projections on the members 3, 4 which engage the inner surface of the frame and stretch it when the members are forced apart by the screw 5.
