Inventor: SASHIKUMAR VENKATARAMAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2015-09-28
Abstract: A system to determine whether to combine search queries used to identify a media asset. A first identifier 602 is assigned to a first search query 624a, 624b from a user. A set of identifiers 604-612 is generated based on a mapping 600 that associates the first identifier with the plurality of identifiers, wherein each of the plurality of identifiers corresponds to a search query that has previously been combined by the user with a search query related to the first identifier.

Title: Automatically adjusting headgear for patient interface
Inventor: MCLAREN MARK ARVIND
IPC: A61M16/06
Filed: 2014-04-24
Abstract: A headgear for securing a mask to a user's face is described. The headgear requires a first load force to elongate the headgear and, when fitted to a user, applies a balanced fit force that substantially equals a load force applied to the headgear during respiratory therapy. In some embodiments, the headgear includes an elastic portion configured to provide a retraction force, a non-elastic portion configured to be inelastic in comparison to the elastic portion, and a restriction mechanism connected to the non-elastic portion and to the elastic portion.

Title: Container and closure
Inventor: ANTHONY HENRY JOSEPH FRASER
IPC: B65D41/42
Filed: 2015-10-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a container 10 with a metal closure. The container has an outwardly projecting first member 11 comprising a plurality of spaced apart first portions 11A having an element with horizontal elongate upper and lower surfaces. The closure comprises an inwardly projecting second member 24 around its internal surface, comprising a plurality of spaced apart second portions 24A having an element with horizontal elongate upper and lower surfaces. The elements of the second portions are of a length such that they can pass through spaces between the first portions and are locatable beneath the first portions so as to secure the metal closure to the container. The closure may have a seal 23, and the second portions may have an upwardly inclined end (24E, fig. 5A) and a downwardly inclined end (24D). Preferably, rotation of the closure in a tightening direction drives the second portions down the downwardly inclined ends to move the closure downwards, and rotation of the closure in a loosening direction drives the second portions up the upwardly inclined ends to move the sealing member from the sealed position to a secured venting position. Further rotation in the loosening direction is required to remove the closure from the container.

Title: An apparatus and method for generating an error code for a block comprising a plurality of data bits and a plurality of address bits
Inventor: KAUSER YAKUB JOHAR
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 2016-05-31
Abstract: This application aims to overcome the problem of detecting and correcting a stuck at zero or one error when data is read from memory. It works by first determining the size of the mask array that is to be used to generate the error correction code, or ECC. This is based on the ECC scheme that is to be used, the size of the chunk, which is the data bits and the address bits, and the hamming distance 50. After this it will determine a number of rows that are to be constrained and subject to special rules 55. These rules are such that when all of the data bits of a given block have the same value, i.e. are stuck at one or zero, then the error code will be generated using a mask array with at least one check bit with a different value to the data bits regardless of the value of the address bits.

Filed: 2016-06-07
Abstract: A gripper 2 for gripping fishing line 4 used on a method feeder 6. The fishing line has a first end portion 8 which is fixed with respect to the method feeder and a second end portion 10 which is provided with at least one fishing hook 12. The gripper comprises a pair of jaws 16 for gripping the fishing line such that the fishing fine is slidable through the jaws without the jaws damaging the fishing line. The jaws exert a gripping force on the fishing line such that the fishing line is not able to be pulled through the jaws by water movement when the gripper is in use during angling and such that it is able to be pulled through the gripper by an angler pulling on the fishing line. In use the angler is able to pull the fishing line through the jaws to set the length of the fishing line that extends between the gripper and the fishing hook, whereby the angler is able to control the distance from the method feeder of bait 14 on the fishing hook with the distance being that distance determined by the angler to be most likely to cause a fish attracted by bait provided by the method feeder to take the bait on the fishing hook.
