Title: A telecommunication network
Inventor: MOSS NICHOLAS IAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: A telecommunication network 30 for telecommunications between end point devices 36,37,38, such as telephones or video phones, the network 30 comprising a plurality of device control systems 40 (e.g. PBX) implemented by a computer system. Each device control system 40 is shared by end point devices 36,37,38 allocated to it and is configured to control communication connections involving telecommunications originating from end point devices 36,37,38 allocated to it and other end point devices. At least some functionality of the plurality of telecommunication device control systems 40 is shared by at least some parts of the computer system. Thus, the telecommunication network may be, in effect, shared between two (or more) organisations which allow controlled sharing of information between some or all of these organisations. The ease of information sharing is achieved as the information to be shared regarding telephones allocated to a particular PBX (address books, dialplans, presence-detection and divert-to-mobile info) is stored in a storage device (such as a hard disk drive) of the PBX 40 allocated as the PBX of each organisation and this PBX functionality is shared by at least some parts of the same computer system. Thus, by providing access to this data by simply providing appropriate permissions, the information may be shared.

Title: Device for improving aerodynamics of vehicles
Inventor: DHIR ASHWYN
IPC: B62D37/02
Filed: 2013-04-05
Abstract: A device to manipulate a fluid flow between a towed vehicle 200 and tow vehicle 50, the device comprises a deflector portion 1500 and an attachment portion 1600. The deflector portion is attached between the two vehicles. The deflector portion is configured to manipulate a the wake which is located between the two vehicles, such that a portion of the flow, which travels over and above the tow vehicle is diverted away from a front face (fig. 4, 210) of the towed vehicle, thereby reducing the drag on the front of the towed vehicle. The deflector portion may be configured to increase the wake in both the vertical and horizontal planes. The deflector portion may work by increasing the pressure of the wake, forcing more flow over the front. The deflector portion maybe a teardrop shaped aerofoil and may be attached to the hitch bar; tow bar; rear face or any portion of the tow vehicle.

Title: Receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals
Inventor: CAIN LAWRENCE
IPC: H04W16/14
Filed: 2013-07-04
Abstract: This application discloses a vehicle with co-located multiple transceivers (40-56, Fig. 3) which operate in respective frequency bands. In a preferred embodiment the vehicle is an unmanned air vehicle (UAV), i.e. a drone. A communications management module 36 located on the vehicle acts to reduce cosite interference between the transceivers. The communications management module uses the first frequency and first waveform of a signal received by a first transceiver to determine the second frequency and second waveform of a signal to be transmitted by a second transceiver. The frequency band associated with the second frequency should not overlap with the frequency band associated with the first frequency. This seems to amount to frequency division multiplexing (FDM), and allows one transceiver to transmit at the same time as the other is receiving. In one embodiment a waveform specification is stored in a waveform library 30 to enable synthesis of the second waveform.

Title: Determining sensitivity profiles for DAS sensors
Inventor: HILL DAVID JOHN
IPC: G01V1/42
Filed: 2014-01-14
Abstract: This application relates to fibre optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) applied using a sensing optical fibre (104, Fig 2a) that is at least partly embedded in a cement structure (203, Fig 2a) and addresses a problem of different acoustic sensitivities at different parts of the fibre. A method of producing an acoustic sensitivity profile involves monitoring 501 temperature along the length of the optical fibre during curing of the surrounding cement structure. A temperature profile (301, 302, Fig 4) can then be generated 502 for the optical fibre based on said monitored temperature and used to generate 506 the acoustic sensitivity profile. The temperature profile indicates how well thermally coupled the fibre is to the surrounding cement, which also indicates how well acoustically coupled the fibre will be when the cement is cured. The sensitivity may be based on the rate of temperature change (303, 304, Fig 4) and/or magnitude of temperature change during curing. The sensitivity profile can then be used to calibrate of adjust measurement signals obtained using the optical fibre in a DAS sensor. The temperature during curing may be monitored using fibre optic distributed sensing such as DTS or DAS techniques.

IPC: H04N19/436
Filed: 2012-09-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inducing a merge candidate block and a device using same. An image decoding method involves decoding motion estimation region (MER) related information; determining whether or not a predicted target block and a spatial merge candidate block are included in the same MER; and determining the spatial merge candidate block to be an unavailable merge candidate block when the predicted target block and the spatial merge candidate block are included in the same MER. Accordingly, by parallely performing the method for inducing a merge candidate, parallel processing is enabled and the computation amount and implementation complexity are reduced.
