Title: Activation objects for interactive systems
Inventor: HILDERBRANDT PETER W
IPC: G06F3/03
Filed: 2011-06-24
Abstract: An interactive system can include a display device, a control panel, a projector, a processing device, and an input device. The input device can detect indicia of its posture relative to the control panel or a display surface of the display device, so that the interactive system can recognize interactions between the input device and these components. Interactions between the input device and the display surface can be captured, analyzed by the processing device, and then represented in an image projected onto the display surface. The control panel can comprise a plurality of non-projected, tactile activation objects, each of which can correspond to an activity or function of the interactive system, such as, for example, powering on the projector. When the interactive system detects an interaction between the input device and an activation object, the activity corresponding to the selected activation object can be performed.

Inventor: KNIGHT PHIL
IPC: H04W48/18
Filed: 2013-01-31
Abstract: A bearer optimisation unit 40 receives test results 41 related to bearer performance from a multiple of mobile devices 10. A trending processor 44 extracts the test results from a first section of a bearer confidence database 43, performs trend analysis on the extracted test results along with historical information on the performance of relevant bearers to determine time and location based trends and stores information relating to the trend analysis in a second section of the bearer confidence database 43 for retrieval in response to queries. By utilising the results of multiple tests 20, a network wide database 43 of bearer performance can be built. This database 43 can be further processed by the trending processor 44 to generate expected traffic profiles. Subsequently, mobile devices 10 may be able to submit queries to the query handler 42 and in response receive data enabling selection of an optimum available bearer for a voice or data transaction.

Patent GB-2518939-A (GB)
Title: Electrical conversion
Inventor: AHMED MOHAMMED ZAKI
IPC: H02M7/219
Filed: 2014-07-11
Abstract: A bridge rectifier 10 has a switched capacitor line 16 in parallel with the output. The line 16 comprises a capacitance 18 and a switch 20 in series, the switch 20 controlling the charging and discharging of the capacitance 18. When the output voltage of the rectifier 10 is above a threshold level and is rising, before the peak voltage is reached, the switch 20 may be closed, charging the capacitance 18, and powering the load 28 from the rectifier 10 output. When the voltage peak is reached and the rectifier 10 output voltage is decreasing but above the threshold level, the switch 20 may open so that the capacitance 18 is isolated and the load 28 is still powered by the rectifier 10 output. When the rectifier 10 output voltage falls below the threshold level, the switch 20 may be closed, discharging the capacitance 18 to power the load 28, until the cycle repeats. The switch 20 may be bi-directional, comprising two uni-directional switches 20a, 20b in parallel, which may be MOSFETs. The threshold level 26 may be dynamically controlled, for example in response to the output of a monitor circuit 32. The system reduces harmonics and improves the power factor.
