Title: Light bulb
Inventor: IAIN DULLEY
IPC: F21V8/00
Filed: 2015-10-12
Abstract: A light pipe 1 in the form of a bar or tube of thermosetting plastic is mounted to a light source 7 such as a LED within a glass bulb 4. The light pipe 1 has coloured lines 3 extending along and within it. When illuminated by the light source, the light pipe 1 acts as a means for dissipating light, providing the desirable effect of a traditional filament or incandescent bulb without the high temperatures and low energy efficiency associated with such a light source.

Title: Determining relevant content for a user locally to the user
Inventor: SAM GLOVER
IPC: H04W4/42
Filed: 2016-09-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining content relevant and local to a user. User devices 104a-c are connected to a Local Server 100 which determines whether access is available to a Remote Server 112 via an Internet connection 110. If the Internet connection is unavailable the Local Server determines local content items stored within the Offline Contextual Content Provisioning Software (OCCPS) 116 that are relevant to a user. To do this it uses contextual information associated with the user that is stored in a user profile within the OCCPS 116. The Local Server then performs an action based on the determination result which may be sending information or pushing content items to the user device. Dynamic data such as time of day, location of device and local weather may also be used to determine contextual information. The Local Server and the user devices may be in a network located on a vehicle such as a bus, a train or an aeroplane.
