Title: Keeps for doors or windows
Inventor: JOHNSON DAVID LEONARD
IPC: E05B15/02
Filed: 2013-05-24
Abstract: A keep 1, also known as a keeper or strike-plate, for a door or window having holding or securing means 9 which cooperate with the keep to secure the door or window, the keep being adapted to provide in-out-adjustments to give clearance behind holding points 11, 13.

Inventor: ROMANG DEREK
IPC: A01K97/12
Filed: 2013-10-04
Abstract: A line clip 10 comprising a housing 12 defining a slot 16 for receiving a fishing line (fig 2, 40) and having three regions (fig 2, I, II, III) along the depth of the slot 16. The first region I is a gate to allow the line to pass in or out, if sufficient force is applied to the line parallel to the depth of the slot. The second region II is a free running region where the fishing line is trapped by the gate but can slide relative to the housing 12. The third region III is a clamping region where the fishing line is gripped in such a manner that it is prevented from sliding relative to the housing 12. In the third region, the line is gripped between two bodies (fig 2, 20 and 22) that are magnetically attracted to one another. The gate may be formed by two balls 30, 32 which may be made of a ferromagnetic material and the other is a permanent magnet, or they may both be magnets themselves. The balls and two gripping bodies, may be separate (fig 4) or integrally formed (fig 5). The gripping bodies may be cylindrical.

Title: A system for transmitting low latency, synchronised audio
Inventor: CUBITT DOMINIC
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-08-28
Abstract: A system for transmitting low latency, synchronised audio includes an audio source, a processor, a controller and a sink zone with a DAC. The processor selectively resamples the audio source in order to output a data packet for transmission to the sink zone that has a maximised payload size while packet frequency remains a whole number. In an embodiment the audio source is a CD player and the audio is upsampled from 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz. The resulting data packet has 128 frames, a payload size of 594 bytes, a packet frequency of 375Hz, and is smaller than the maximum transmission unit (MTU) (see table 2 on page 7). The audio output is transmitted using the Internet Protocol (IP) and is based on UDP Multicast and point-to-point UDP and TCP. A common time clock is implemented across the DACs of sink zones using Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Precision Time Protocol (PTP), and each packet carries a presentation time (fig. 3).

Title: Disk drive with different data sector integrated preambles in adjacent data tracks
Inventor: COKER JONATHAN DARREL
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 2014-09-17
Abstract: A hard disk drive has disks with data sector preambles or sequences 1-3 that allow for inter-track interference. The same data sector preamble is used for all data sectors in a track but the preamble in each track is different from the preamble in radially adjacent tracks. The preambles are "integrated", meaning that the preamble is a sequence of bits that does not include separate dedicated synchronization fields (SF) and synchronization mark (SM) fields. The preamble bit sequences can be decoded using matched filters to provide bit synchronization and start-of-data information. There are at least two unique preambles, each unique preamble bit sequence has a small autocorrelation at nonzero lag and low cross correlation with each other unique preamble bit sequence. The bit sequence may be a Kasami, Gold or zero correlation zone sequence.
