Title: Media system analysis and control
Inventor: JOSE MANUEL SANCHEZ LOUREDA
IPC: H04N21/65
Filed: 2014-12-09
Abstract: A method of analysing receiver events from a plurality of media content receivers in a media content distribution system, in which each event has a corresponding duration, comprises dividing/assigning (C2) the events into categories (segments) such that events having similar properties are placed into the same category. Categories may relate to different content topics or genres. Analysis of event duration distribution is undertaken for each category to determine at a threshold duration for that category. The threshold durations are applied to events to facilitate control and/or analysis of the media content distribution system. Events determined to be non-representative of normal viewing behaviour for a given category may be subject to control. For example, short events may be disregarded (C3,C4), whilst anomalous long events may be assigned new end times (i.e. truncated - C9). Such events may be eliminated from viewing statistics to give a more reliable insight into audience behaviour. The analysis of events may also be used to facilitate insertion of additional content (such as adverts, commercials etc) or for the local control of the receiver device (e.g. switching to Standby mode if inactivity is determined).

Patent GB-2521294-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus and system for passively sampling production fluid from a well
Inventor: GORDON ALEXANDRE
IPC: E21B49/08
Filed: 2013-08-01
Abstract: An apparatus and system for passively sampling production fluid from a well is presented. The passive sampling device is used to split two-phase flow and provide a driving pressure differential for a sampling system. Flow through sampling systems require a low pressure differential to be utilized to take a liquid sample, so that the sample retained remains isobaric. When performed in two-phase flow, the pressure differential needs to be relatively high, potentially yielding a non-isobaric sample. By separating out the liquid content of the flow, a low driving pressure is allowed to be used. Thus, this keeps the sample isobaric at a wide range of production flow rates.

Title: Magnetic powder, magnetic-powder composition, molded object of magnetic-powder composition, and processes for producing same
Inventor: HIROHISA ISHIZAKI
IPC: H01F1/36
Filed: 2014-07-17
Abstract: The present invention provides: a magnetic powder obtained from a magnetic fluid comprising magnetic particles, a dispersant, and a dispersion medium by removing the dispersion medium; and a magnetic-powder composition comprising the magnetic powder and a resin material. Since at least some of the surface of the obtained magnetic powder has been covered with the dispersant, the powder is inhibited from oxidizing in the air and is easy to handle. The magnetic material in the magnetic fluid is present as a superparamagnetic material. When this magnetic fluid is used as a starting material, a magnetic powder is obtained in which the magnetic particles, even when appearing to be aggregates, never reaggregate when viewed on the order of nanometer and in which the superparamagnetism is maintained. Thus, the magnetic powder has excellent magnetic properties.
