Title: Encoder configuration
Inventor: ANNAMRAJU VENU
IPC: H04N19/85
Filed: 2013-12-16
Abstract: A media encoder for encoding a media buffer stream (e.g. data stream, such as video frames) has an encoder pipeline comprising a sequence of processing modules (e.g. pre-processor 103, encoder 104, packetiser 105) for processing a stream of media data (buffers), and pipeline configurator 106 to switch the encoder pipeline from one or more first encode parameters (e.g. frame size, frame rate, bit-rate) to second encode parameters. The first (pre) processing module of the pipeline associates a trigger value with at least first media data processed at the first processing module according to second encode parameters, the trigger value (e.g. via a toggled trigger flag, Figure 2) passing to subsequent modules so as to cause those modules to adopt the second encode parameters. Also claimed is a method of preparing video frames for encoding, comprising: receiving a video frame having first pixel dimensions; re-scaling the frame so one or both first dimensions are no greater than respective predetermined pixel dimension(s) and the aspect ratio is maintained; embedding the rescaled video frame within an output video frame having the predetermined dimensions, and marking pixels outside the rescaled video frame bounds as inactive (e.g. black level).

Title: Processing of passive intermodulation detection results
Inventor: GALE SIMON
IPC: H04W24/08
Filed: 2014-05-29
Abstract: A PIM (passive intermodulation) diagnosis 6 is generated for one or more wireless networks which have equipment deployed at a plurality of cell sites (1 a, lb, 1c, 1d). Data is received representing PIM detection results from PIM detection devices (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) at the cell sites. The PIM is caused by passive intermodulation between carriers. The data representing respective PIM detection results is normalised 3 to account for variations in transmission power and frequency allocation across the respective cell sites. The PIM diagnosis of the network(s) involves investigating the extent of statistical correlations between the PIM data and properties of the cell sites or their environment. For example, investigations could be focussed on investigating correlations between PIM levels and meteorological data, cell site equipment type/make, or installer. The resulting PIM diagnostic data could be used to predict cell sites where PIM levels become unacceptable in the future. The PIM diagnosis may involve carrying out a Pearson correlation, distance correlation or maximal information coefficient correlation between PIM measurements and a stream of continuous data relating to cell site equipment, conditions or environment.

IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2014-06-04
Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring adherence to healthcare guidelines defining a recommended level of physical activity. Metabolic Equivalent (MET) data obtained for a user is compared to guideline MET values relating to the recommended level of physical activity, to determine whether the user has achieved the recommended level of physical activity. An adherence result is outputted in accordance with the result of the comparison, indicating whether the user has achieved the recommended level of physical activity. The adherence result can be outputted in the form of a message displayed on a display unit. In some embodiments it is checked whether sufficient MET data is available for a particular day, before comparing the MET data for that day to the guideline MET values. When MET data is captured over a plurality of days, it can be checked whether data has been captured for at least a minimum required number of days within a time period, for example one week.
