Title: Container for suspension from a clipstrip
Inventor: GOLD HOWARD MARC
IPC: B65D5/42
Filed: 2012-11-12
Abstract: A container 2 has a top side 8 which comprises a first surface area through which a first aperture passes, and a back side 12 which comprises a second surface area through which a second aperture passes. The apertures 10, 28 are adjacent to one another, and the second surface area is offset from the first so that the apertures 10, 28 are also offset. The apertures 10, 28 extend fully into the container, and may be separated by a fold 14, and an edge of each of the apertures 10, 28 may be located less than 28 mm from the fold 14. When in use, a projection of a clipstrip may be inserted through both first and second apertures 10, 28 to suspend to container on the clipstrip. The container may be constructed from a single folded sheet, and the first and second surface areas may be orthogonal to one another. The container may be substantially cuboid or rectangular parallelepiped in shape, and may comprise a single glued seam 4. The apertures 10, 28 may be substantially covered by flaps 20, 30 which may be displaced by the inserted clipstrip projection. In this instance one flap (on the back side of the container 2) is displaced inwards, and the other flap (on the top side of the container 2) is displaced outwards.

Title: Subtitle processing
Inventor: GOLUBENTSEV DMITRI
IPC: H04N21/488
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: Subtitle data associated with a video including a number of subtitle elements (e.g. word or group of words) is received. A determination is made as to whether or not an element of the number of elements is to be displayed, and if so, the subtitle element is outputted for display. The determination may be based on a likelihood that an element (word) is known to a viewer, e.g. using a database. Additional information, e.g. semantic meaning, etymology, phonetic transcription, usage examples, can be displayed with the subtitle data. The element may also be translated, e.g. from a first to a second language, before the display determination is made. A viewer who has a little understanding of a language, but who is not fluent, may be spared the irritating display of more common words as subtitles, but may be assisted in understanding rarer or unfamiliar words.

Patent GB-2510493-A (GB)
Title: Mobile application traffic optimization
Inventor: LUNA MICHAEL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2011-07-22
Abstract: Several systems and methods for mobile application traffic optimization are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a distributed proxy and cache system, including, a local proxy (175, Fig. 1B) on a mobile device (150, Fig 1B) for intercepting a data request made via a mobile device, and a proxy server (125, Fig 1B) coupled to the mobile device and a content server to which the data request is directed (110, Fig 1B). In one embodiment, the local proxy can forward the data request to the proxy server for transmission to the content server for a response to the data request. In addition, the proxy server sends the data request to the content server independent of activities on the local proxy and notifies the local proxy when changed or different content on the content server is detected for the data request. One embodiment of the distributed proxy and cache system further includes a cache (135, 185, Fig. 1B) shared between the local proxy and the proxy server and the component 185 on the local proxy is queried for a locally stored response to the data request prior to the data request being forwarded on to the proxy server. An optional caching proxy server is also described. The first method described in this application relates to optimizing traffic across a wireless part of the network comprising: using application behavior 602 of multiple applications accessed on a mobile device to detect recurrences 608 in application requests made by the applications; using the recurrences 610, polling of the content sources that would normally be performed by application requests from the mobile device is offloaded and instead performed by a proxy server remote from the mobile device in the wireless network. This minimizes the number of polls that the mobile device performs saving power and also minimizes the number of communications over the expensive final part of the mobile network. The proxy server may notify 612 the mobile device when polls it has performed on behalf of the mobile device indicate that content change has been detected. Application behavior may be detected by tracking patterns in application requests (frequency, interval etc.).

Title: A communication system for managing leased line network and a method thereof
Inventor: VVR SASTRY
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a communication system for managing leased line networks. The system comprises of a router to route data from one network to another network, and a V.35 modem configured to receive the data from the router and transmit the data to a predefined destination using internet protocol (IP) network. The interface which connects the router with the V.35 modem is a V.35 interface. The IP network requires an ethernet interface to receive the data and to transmit the data to a destined location. The V.35 modem designed converts the V.35 interface to an ethernet interface, but since the ethernet interface is expensive, the V.35 modem converts the ethernet interface to an ADSL interface for establishing ADSL connection towards the IP network.

Patent GB-2527064-A (GB)
Title: A reaction producing device that makes use of gyroscopic rotation to reset a reactive mass
Inventor: MACPHAIL NICHOLAS JULIAN JAN FRANCIS
IPC: F03G3/08
Filed: 2014-06-10
Abstract: A mechanical device intended to produce a reaction uses gyroscopic rotation to move (reset) a reactive mass 13. Gyroscope elements 9, 10 are constrained to rotate about a main shaft, and have gyroscope axes intersecting the main axis. Rotation of the main shaft causes precession of the gyroscope elements 9, 10, so that the angle between the gyroscope axes and the main axis is reduced, which moves the reactive mass 13 as shown in dashed lines in figure 4. The reactive mass 13 is then moved back to its starting position to reset the system. This is said to produce a semi reactionless mass displacement to generate a net linear thrust.

Title: Pack For Tobacco Industry Products
Inventor: MUSTAFA ISAAK
IPC: B65D85/10
Filed: 2014-09-15
Abstract: A pack has a hinged lid 3 which can slide and pivot to open the pack, and raises the contents, e.g. a wrapped bundle of cigarettes 16. A lifting member 17, extending from the lid 3, can lift the cigarettes as the lid 3 is pulled upwards, away from the pack base. The lid 3 can then be opened by pivoting about hinge 22. There may be a void 20 between the top of the contents 16 and the top of the lid 3, e.g as the cigarettes in the wrapped bundle 16 are shorter than the pack length. The pack may have an inner frame 18 which can provide stops to limit movement of the lifting member 17. Opening of the lid 3 may take place only after the lid 3 has been lifted. Tobacco industry products may be enclosed in a wrapper attached to the lifting member 17. The pack base, lid 3, lifting member 17 and inner frame 18 may be formed from blanks.
Patent GB-2536859-A (GB)
Title: Modeling a multilayer network
Inventor: Jay Perrett
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: A network can be considered to comprise multiple layers 202,204. Example layers could be IP and Ethernet, similar to OSI model layers, or wireless and wired Ethernet could be considered layers or optical traffic and control protocols. Where links between nodes exist in multiple layers the flattened network topology ignores or excludes all but one link (see Fig. 7). Where traffic passes between OSI type layers, for instance optical layer 202 and IP layer 204, the protocol stack may be modelled as a further link 208,210,212,214. Once the network topology has been abstracted data transport services are applied to the single layer model to calculate optimum network routing. The determined routes are then converted back into routing instructions for each network layer. The network topology may model the free capacity of network links.
