Title: Cadence analysis for a video signal having an interlaced format
Inventor: PAUL BRASNETT
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 2015-04-22
Abstract: An interlaced video signal can include both interlaced content and progressive content. The progressive content may have different cadences/pulldown according to the ratio between the frame rate of the progressive content and the field rate of the interlaced video signal. Cadence/pulldown analysis is performed to identify the cadence of the video signal and/or to determine field pairings when progressive content is included. The invention relates to using motion indicators (such as motion vectors) for blocks of fields of a video signal to perform such cadence analysis. The motion indicators are used to determine cadence signatures which are indicative of one or more cadences of the video signal. These cadence signatures are used to determine cadences present in the video signal by identifying prevalent cadence signatures and mapping these prevalent signatures to known cadences with known cadence signatures. The known cadence signatures which are most similar to the prevalent cadence signatures signify the cadences present in the video signal.

Title: 3-D graphics rendering with implicit geometry
Inventor: CUNEYT OZDAS
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2014-02-25
Abstract: The application relates to tracing rays in 3-D scenes as part of a rendering process. A ray is traversed in an acceleration structure having multiple elements and it is determined if an element intersect by the ray contains an object instance. The data defining the ray is then transformed from a scene wide co-ordinate system to a referenced co-ordinate system for the element of the acceleration structure. A test result for the ray intersection is determined, said result identifying data for the closest intersection of the ray within the element and the distance to such an intersection. The test result is then transformed from the referenced co-ordinate system for the element to the scene wide co-ordinate system and an overall closest intersection for the ray is determined once the ray has completed its traversal.

Where the first specific latency is either between sending the first request and the first time stamp or sending the second request and the second time stamp. Where the second specific latency is between either the first timestamp and receiving the first time stamp or the second timestamp and receiving the second time stamp. The other aspects of the invention mentioned are to do with sending request for timestamps, receiving timestamps and receiving requests for time stamps. The timestamp can also be sent or received based on the receipt or sending of a data packet. This allows for a timestamp to be derived by the application software from a clock in a network gateway.

Title: Inrush current control
Inventor: JORGEN FRANDSEN
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2017-03-27
Abstract: A smartcard 102 comprises contact pads for electrical connection to an external power source for providing power to the smartcard in a contact mode, a contactless power harvesting system 108,126 for providing power to the smartcard in a contactless mode, and a main circuit for receiving and managing the power provided. The main circuit includes components requiring power to provide the smartcard with required functionality and is connected to the contact pads via a current limiting circuit C (figure 2) comprising an integrator for controlling the levels of current drawn via the contact pads. The integrator may be implemented using an op-amp, a MOSFET or a JFET, and may produce an output voltage that rises steadily, hence controlling the inrush current to be within the maximum current output of a card reader. The smartcard may comprise a biometric sensor 120 for identification of an authorised user of the card. The smartcard may be a financial card for interaction with an ATM. The current limiting circuit prevents high inrush currents that would cause the reader to shut down or disconnect. The use of an integrator allows the components used in the current limiting circuit to be small enough to be housed in a typical smartcard.
