Title: System and method for managing stored media content
Inventor: WALKER ROYSTON
IPC: H04N21/4335
Filed: 2014-04-17
Abstract: A media receiver 3 displays media library information corresponding to a set of media items, including at least one local media item 7b downloaded from a remote media server and stored at the media receiver. The media receiver stores data defining a respective key file 37b associated with each of said at least one local media items, each data file including metadata defining a persistence state of the associated media item. A user command to archive a selected one of the media items in the media library 31b is processed, whereby the selected media item is deleted from the media receiver and the metadata of the associated data file is updated with the archived persistence state. A user command to restore an archived media item in the media library may be processed, whereby the media item is downloaded from the media server and the metadata of the associated data file is updated with a downloaded persistence state. The arrangement may be used in a broadcast system, such as a satellite, cable or internet broadcast system. The invention may also be applicable to a video on demand (VOD) or push video on demand (PVOD) system, in which a programme is received and/or displayed on demand.

Title: A co-operative lock system designed to create a greater deterrent than stand-alone locking devices
Inventor: MCQUILLAN JAMES
IPC: G08B25/00
Filed: 2014-10-14
Abstract: A lock with sensors that detect when an attempt is made to force the lock and trigger an alarm having a transmitter and receiver system within the lock which transmits the signal to equivalent nearby locks. When this signal is received by the adjacent lock, the alarm on that lock is triggered and transmits a signal to other nearby locks and so on. If the alarm is an audible alarm then the tone of the alarm may increase as the alarm signal is relayed outwards thus allowing people to follow the noise to the original alarm. The alarm signal may also be sent to a mobile phone or tablet or sent to a central security base. A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) or global positioning system (GPS) may be used to record the position of the lock. The lock may have a sensor for detecting other emergency situations e.g. a gas leak. This is then also relayed to adjacent locks. Preferably this cluster lock system is used on yachts on moorings or in a marina.

Inventor: DANIEL BENJAMIN BLACK
IPC: G02B5/28
Filed: 2016-11-23
Abstract: A conformable filter for a vehicle V i.e. aircraft window with a film exposed to a plurality of laser wavelengths to create a notch filter region to block radiation in a wavelength band around a first wavelength from a laser threat L, and allowing visible wavelengths outside the band to be transmitted. The filter also ensures that where an essential light source outside or inside the vehicle includes the first wavelength such as landing lights or cockpit instrument lights, its visibility is optimized through the filter whilst still protecting the pilot P against the laser threat.
