Title: Inserting interactive content in video
Inventor: BOOTH JAMES
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2012-07-27
Abstract: A system (10, figure 1) is operable to present a graphical user interface (GUI) or    creativeâ   including main video content 200 in a central window/pane and one or more additional windows/panels 210 including one or more interactive elements 210A-H. The system includes a server (30,60 figure 1) coupled via a communications network for communicating the creative to at least one user display device 150, such as a computer, mobile phone, tablet or set-top box (STB). The user display device 150 includes computing hardware (e.g. processor 170) for running software to enable the device 150 to interact with a user and to communicate with the server via the communication network.

Title: Bin liner retainer including elastic strands anchored to a bins mouth
Inventor: SHADWELL CATHERINE NANCY
IPC: B65B67/12
Filed: 2013-01-24
Abstract: A bin A has two anchorage points D, G allowing an elastic device C to extend across its mouth; or engage the mouth of a liner B around its rim. The elastic device can be a closed elastic loop, or two unattached strands of elastic. The anchors can be hooks, slots, or a further elastic band. The elastic may contain magnetic strips. The device is easier than previous bin liner retainers since the liner can be inserted between the elastic strands when they are across the bins mouth; each side can then individually be stretched around the rim. This also means the elastic engages a fold in the bag inhibiting escape.

Title: Lamp unit power supply system
Inventor: WILSON IAN
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2013-03-19
Abstract: A power supply system supplies gas discharge lamp unit 5 with arc power and cathode power. The system may be an emergency driver for receiving power from a battery 15, for example when mains power has failed. The driver adjusts the total power provided to the lamp unit and varies the proportion of the total power provided as the arc power and as the cathode power in order to provide optimised arc power and cathode power according to the circumstances. The driver may include a push-pull inverter X, the relative proportions of arc power and cathode power then being adjustable by varying the frequency of operation of the switches S1, S2 of the inverter. Adjustment of the total power supplied to the lamp unit is then achieved by varying the duty cycle of the switches.

Patent GB-2527358-A (GB)
Title: Embedded communication device for an automotive vehicle
Inventor: WONG LAWRENCE
IPC: H04W48/18
Filed: 2014-06-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to an M2M device such as an embedded communication device for an automotive vehicle comprising a controller and a GSM modem. The controller is arranged to monitor data passing through the modem, to select data exchanges implying return data to the device, such as acknowledgements, and to analyze the selected data exchanges. When return data is not received, an error counter is incremented and a reboot to the service provider/PLMN is performed. When a reboot counter reaches a threshold, a reboot to a new service provider is performed. This prevents the modem from rebooting too many times over a small time window to the same PLMN which may result in blacklisting of the M2M device.
