Title: Anchoring system and method
Inventor: HARMON STEPHEN K
IPC: E21B23/06
Filed: 2013-06-20
Abstract: An anchor system 110 includes an anchoring device having a cone (28, fig 3) and a shear sleeve 130. A load isolation device 146 is in operable communication with the anchoring device and is releasably affixed to the sheer sleeve by a releasable member (48, fig 2), optionally a shear screw. The anchoring system actuates only upon reaching a setting location by requiring the load isolation device to release and shift before actuation of the anchoring device can occur. Preferably, actuation is achieved via shoulder (50, fig 2) of the load isolation device contacting shoulder (52, fig 2) of the cone to provide load to actuate the anchor. The anchor system also requires that the shear sleeve extends beyond a terminus of the load isolation device to an extent to ensure that the shear sleeve must engage a separate structure 164 receptive thereto before the load isolation device is actuated.

Title: Method and device for encoding headers of a message using reference header sets
Inventor: BELLESSORT ROMAIN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2013-07-12
Abstract: The definition of a reference set of headers to be used for encoding a set of headers is proposed to enable the encoder to dynamically define the reference set of headers to be used. This reference set is defined 320 as a region in the header table and that may be defined dynamically. Accordingly, flexibility is offered in defining the reference set for encoding a set of headers by a method which improves the compression while minimizing the overhead, especially regarding memory size. Additionally once a reference set has been defined by identifying a region of the header table to use 340 the differences between a set of headers to encode/decode and those in the reference set 330 may also be indicated 350. The arrangement may be used for the compression and decompression of headers in SPDY or HTTP 2.0 protocols.

Title: Fuel surface height measurement
Inventor: CIPULLO ALESSIO
IPC: G01F23/292
Filed: 2013-11-29
Abstract: A method of measuring a height of a fuel surface of fuel in an aircraft fuel tank. One or more images of the fuel surface are captured, each image including a fuel surface line where the fuel surface meets a structure. Each image is analysed in order to determine a height of the fuel surface line at one or more points in the image. If the fuel surface line is not a straight line, then an average angle of the fuel surface line can be determined from the points in the image by spatial averaging. Preferably a series of images of the fuel surface are captured over a time period, and an average height of the fuel surface is determined from the series of images by time averaging. The height of the fuel surface line(s) at three or more points is used to determine a volume of the fuel, a mass of the fuel, and/or an attitude of the fuel surface.

Title: Laundry Treatment apparatus
Inventor: WOO SEYOUNG
IPC: D06F37/10
Filed: 2014-03-18
Abstract: The apparatus includes a front panel having an inclined front surface (120, fig 1) provided with an opening for laundry (121, fig 1), a door (130, fig1) pivotally mounted to the inclined front surface to open or close the opening, and a damper module (200, fig 2) provided between the front panel and the door to apply torque to the door in a direction opposite to a rotating direction of the door when the door is rotated due to self-load (self-weight) of the door. The damper module applies torque to the door in a direction opposite to a rotating direction of the door when an angle between the front panel and the door is within a range of a prescribed angle. A door on an inclined surface tends to open and close due its centre of gravity, the damper prevents this by applying torque in a direction opposite the rotation due to gravity. The damper comprises an elastic member 210 with a coil potion 211 (torsion spring), and a guide member 220. The interaction between the elastic member 210 and the guide groove acts to apply torque to the door in a specific direction (figures 4 and 5).

Title: Method of and apparatus for displaying an output surface in data processing systems
Inventor: CROXFORD DAREN
IPC: G09G5/395
Filed: 2014-12-11
Abstract: A compositing display controller 20 provides an output frame 23 to a display for display by sending respective output surface regions 21, 21a that together form the output frame. Each respective region 24 of the output surface is generated from a respective region or regions of one or more input surfaces, to the display. When a new version of an output surface region is generated, the display controller determines whether the output surface region is unlikely to change or has been unchanged for a period, and if it has, then stores the generated output surface region in a frame buffer 22. Then, for the subsequent frame, checks are performed to see if the output surface region could have changed. If there is no change the stored version of the output surface region is reused, but if there is a change in the output surface region, the output surface region is regenerated. The display controller can provide a hybrid window compositing system that selects between frame buffer composition and direct composition which reduces bandwidth.
