IPC: H04N21/472
Filed: 2006-05-29
Abstract: Although a scheduled recording that is set by an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) specifies in advance a time slot for using the resource, reproduction that is set by the EPG does not specify a time slot for using the resource.  Therefore, although it is possible to carry out resource allocations for a plurality of scheduled recordings in advance, it is not possible to carry out a resource adjustment in advance when the scheduled recording and the reproduction operation use the same resource. However, when an adjustment process is performed after the starting time of the scheduled recording, the adjustment process itself takes up some time, thus giving rise to the possibility that the scheduled recording may not start at the specified starting time. The resource adjustment for the scheduled recording and the reproduction is initiated ahead of the starting time of the scheduled recording. The amount of time ahead of the scheduled recording, by which the resource adjustment is to be started, can be specified by the EPG.

Title: Non-destructive testing of pipes
Inventor: WANG ALEX
IPC: G01M3/02
Filed: 2006-06-19
Abstract: To perform a non-destructive condition assessment of a pipe carrying a fluid , an actual value representative of the propagation velocity of an acoustic disturbance propagating between two longitudinally separated points on the pipe is determined. A corresponding predicted value for the propagation velocity is computed as a function of at least one wall thickness parameter of the pipe by using a theoretical model for the propagation of acoustic waves in the pipe that assumes said pipe has a finite wall thickness with a predetermined circumferential thickness profile. The wall thickness paramete r is then computed by matching the actual value with the predicted value, for example, by substituting the actual value in a formula predicting the theoretical value.
