Title: Faster Channel (Service) Change by Concurrent Storage of Portion of Different Channel
Inventor: MEDAPATI ARUN KUMAR
IPC: H04N21/426
Filed: 2011-08-18
Abstract: A plurality of data transport streams is received at a client device, each stream including a plurality of channels / services. One of the services is played out (e.g. displayed) while a portion of at least one different service (e.g. favourite, adjacent in an EPG, most frequently / recently watched etc.), from the plurality of services is stored. Upon receiving a request for displaying the different service (channel selection), a stored portion of the different service is identified. The stored portion of the different service is played out at a faster than real time speed (e.g. trick play). A subsequent portion of the different service is stored in the storage device which corresponds to a subsequent portion of the different service received during the playing out of the stored portion of the different service. The subsequent portion of the different service is played out upon completion of playing out the stored portion. Faster change times are experienced by the user as the time until an I frame is reached following a service/channel change is reduced.

Title: Acquisition scheme for vibroseis marine sources
Inventor: RUET LAURENT
IPC: G01V1/04
Filed: 2012-08-31
Abstract: The invention relates to incoherent and coherent acquisition methods for driving vibrational source arrays under the water. In one aspect, first and second source arrays 340a-b are activated simultaneously so that incoherent coded driving signals drive the first and second source arrays. Each source array includes a plurality of individual source elements. The signals are incoherent as the source elements of array 340a have a different content from those in 340b. In another aspect, the first and second arrays are high frequency and a plurality of low frequency individual source elements of a low-frequency source array 360a-b are also simultaneously activated so that coherent coded driving signals drive the low frequency source elements. The plurality of individual source elements may be electro-mechanical sources. By operating the sources incoherently, the total energy output is doubled relative to a conventional source array using a flip-flop scheme. By operating them coherently, the output quadruples.

Title: Method for treatment of an exhaust gas from an engine and exhaust gas system
Inventor: KUMAR PUNIT
IPC: F01N3/36
Filed: 2014-02-07
Abstract: A method for treatment of an exhaust gas from an engine (12) in which carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas is utilised to produce a fuel (80), preferably methanol, suitable as a fuel for the engine (12). Carbon dioxide is separated from the exhaust gas into a first gas stream (22) which has a higher carbon dioxide content than a second gas stream (28). The first gas stream (22) is fed into a reactor (24) in which the fuel (80) is produced. Carbon dioxide may be separated from the exhaust gas using an amine-containing solution. In the embodiment shown exhaust gas flows from the engine 12 through the manifold 14 to oxidation catalyst 16. The oxidised exhaust gas then passes to carbon dioxide separator 18. Carbon dioxide removed from the other exhaust gases is supplied as gas stream 22 to reactor 24 where it is reacted with hydrogen from tank 32. The methanol thus produced is collected in tank 58 from where it may be added to the engine 12 via supply line 78 and common rail 76 to supplement the fossil fuel also provided to the engine via common rail 76.
