Abstract: A method is provided for replacing compressed video from a first source
with video from a second source at a predefined insertion point in a video data
stream. If the video from the second source is progressively refreshed video,
it is decompressed sufficiently prior to the insertion point to enable the
recovery and recompression of a first video frame (in encoding order) from the
second source to be inserted at the insertion point. The recovered first video
frame is then recompressed as an intra-coded (I) frame. The insertion of the
video from the second source is then commenced at the insertion point using
the I frame. The insertion point can, for example, indicate the commencement
of a commercial break in the video stream, in which case the second source
provides a commercial for insertion into the commercial break. Where the
commercial is stored in memory, it can be stored with the first frame thereof
(in encoding order) as an I frame.

Abstract: A rotor (40, Fig. 3) for a centrifugal separator (20, Fig.1) employed in a vehicle engine for separating solid contaminants from the lubricant under pressure, is driven by the pressure of the circulated lubricant, a proportion of which is directed to, and expelled from nozzles (88) in the rotor. The rotor comprises a vessel (42) of the 'open' type, which in operation is only partially filled with liquid as an annular layer whose radial thickness is determined by outlet passages (72 1  etc). The rotor is formed economically from three pieces; the first two, cap (62), and an annular cup-like component (60), are individually moulded from plastics material and joined to form a vessel (40). The component 60 is moulded with a tubular wall (50) that in use surrounds a spindle and defines an inlet region (66) for pressurised liquid via the spindle, the inlet region being connected to within the cup by transfer passage (70). The base of the cup is moulded with integral outlet passage (72 1 ), etc. and a recess (92) into which the third rotor piece, a drive member (84) is located. The drive member (84) has nozzles (88) and is located to define a conduit directing pressurised liquid from the central region (66) to the nozzles. The outlet passages (372, etc, Fig. 10 (a)) may also be defined as nozzles (373 1 ) balanced in dimensions to the transfer passage (70) to enable a small pressure difference to exist across them that permits ejected liquid to overcome drag and/or assist rotation.

Abstract: A first fluid (256), e.g., a clear solvent, is printed in a subpixel (254) of a color filter prior to printing droplets of a second fluid (258,260,262) such as colored liquid into the subpixel areas (254). This first fluid (256) could have surface wetting properties such that it is hydrophilic to the substrate (102) (glass) but hydrophobic to the boundary (104) (black matrix). Therefore, the first fluid (256) would flow over the entire subpixel area (254), but not onto the black matrix (104). The first fluid (256) would then allow color fluid (258,260,262) to disperse uniformly throughout the subpixel (254). This first fluid (256) may also be used in additional embodiments to re-liquify a dry or partially dry color subpixel (254), so that color non-uniformities can be corrected.
