Title: Hybrid water heating system comprising electrical heating pods
Inventor: BIRD SEAN
IPC: F24D13/04
Filed: 2010-03-30
Abstract: A hybrid water heating system comprises a conventional heater, such as a gas boiler, and at least one auxiliary electrical heating pod mounted in relation to the heating system pipework. The pods may either be designed for in-line placement, where the system has to be drained and the pipework cut, or as a clamp-on version, where the pods may be clamped onto existing pipework. Preferably, the pods radiate electrical energy into the water through the pipe wall, where the energy is transferred into the pipe wall via a tungsten filament wire heating the surface of the pipework. The filament may be surrounded by an inert gas or vacuum and be provided with a reflective material to direct the heat onto the surface of the pipe. Preferably, the pods can be fitted onto different parts of the system and linked together by control wiring or radio back to a central control panel or directly to a boiler. The control panel may be used to set the boiler on/off times and the amount of energy input from the pods when the boiler is not operating, such as at night-time when the pods could use an off-peak electricity tariff.

Title: Reheating oil in a fryer using heat exchangers
Inventor: KHAN AHMED NADIM
IPC: A23L5/20
Filed: 2010-11-10
Abstract: Heating an operating fluid using a closed circuit heat exchanger unit, a heat exchanger 20 is connected to an external fluid heat source which vaporises the working fluid; the vaporised working fluid is then fed to a compressor 22 which compresses the vaporised working fluid and feeds the compressed vaporised working fluid to another heat exchanger 10 in which the compressed vaporised working fluid is condensed to heat an external operating fluid. The external fluid used in the initial heat exchanger may be collected once it has been condensed in the initial heat exchanger. The external operating fluid is oil which is used in frying foodstuffs, the oil being heated in an oil recirculation system. The external fluid heat source may be steam, which has been collected by a hood above the fryer during the frying process. The compressor may be driven by a gas powered engine 66.

Title: Active emergency control system based on real time location system and sensor network
Inventor: KANG HEE-JIN
IPC: G08B5/36
Filed: 2008-06-13
Abstract: Disclosed is an active emergency control system capable of guiding passengers to a safe evacuation route from an accident occurring area, controlling access to the accident area, and rescuing the isolated or trapped passengers using a real time location recognition and sensor network technology when an accident such as a fire, flooding, explosion, collapse or overturning occurs in a large structure like a cruise ship having complicated interiors. The inventive system is a core technology that is capable of preventing a situation leading to a large scale disaster due to the lack of recognition of proper evacuation route and evacuation procedure thereof in case of an accident, and is then expected to contribute to the control of an emergency situation and protect and save the lives of people. Further, the present invention offers advantages that it can be easily reduced into practice by establishing a system and its application through the incorporation with a conventional emergency control system as well as adopting commercialized technology already in use.

Title: Regenerating a Pixel Clock Signal
Inventor: CLOSSET ARNAUD
IPC: H04N5/935
Filed: 2011-06-21
Abstract: A pixel clock signal is regenerated by determining first drift value D1 representing first time difference between reference clock signal RC and local clock signal LC based on local pixel clock signal LPC. LPC is adjusted according to a command to provide regenerated pixel clock signal RPC. Second drift value D2 represents second time difference between reference clock signal RC and regenerated pixel clock signal RPC. The command is provided to the adjustable clock generator 32 to adjust the local pixel clock signal LPC. Adjustment command relates to difference between first and second drift values. Accordingly, frame rate drift between source node providing video data and display node receiving video is compensated. Also, first correction means adjusts LPC signal by performing first adjustment based on first drift value to provide first corrected local clock signal, second correction means corrects LPC signal by performing second adjustment based on first drift value to provide second corrected local clock signal, wherein the first and second adjustments are different and the processing of the video signal is synchronised with the first corrected local clock signal and the display cadence is controlled by a control signal synchronised with the second corrected local clock signal.

Title: Adapting a maximum value for total transmit power of a base station or mobile devices based on historical signal strength measurements
Inventor: CARTER ALAN
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2007-02-02
Abstract: In a cellular wireless communications network, a maximum value for a total transmit power of a base station 18 or of one or more mobile devices 22 having wireless connections to the base station 18 is adapted, based on historical data derived from signal strength measurements. The historical data may relate to measurements over time of path losses between mobile devices 22 and the base station 18 or neighbour macro-layer base station 16. Thus, interference with macro-layer base station 16 in the vicinity is minimized. The invention has particular application to access points, or femto-cell base stations (FBS) 18, for location within a home or office and for which costly site surveys or detailed radio network planning are not possible. The FBS 18 may also select a carrier frequency and/or scrambling code from lists of resources shared with other base stations 16.

Title: Process for producing printable film
Inventor: READ SIMON JAMES
IPC: B29C59/14
Filed: 2011-09-27
Abstract: A process for producing a printable film comprises subjecting at least a first surface of a film web to a modified atmosphere dielectric barrier discharge (MADBD) treatment at a first location; winding the film web onto a reel; transporting the wound film web to a second location; unwinding the film web from the reel; and subjecting the first surface of the film to corona treatment. The corona treatment restores printability characteristics such as surface energy and relative atomic concentration of polar chemical species of the first surface which diminish with time following MADBD treatment, and so is preferably conducted just prior to printing. The film may be printed on and may be used for packaging or labelling.

Title: Broker/Portal for public service provider resources which refers authorisation requests to server in private network of requesting user/client
Inventor: WHARTON JAMES
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2012-01-17
Abstract: A Cloud Management Node (CMN) 102 acts as a broker/portal 105/106 for resources 112 on service provider nodes (SPN) 113. This system may be a public cloud 100. Users/clients 122/124 in a private/corporate network/cloud 114, can request access to the resources. Where resource access is restricted the identity engine 104 of the CMN may send a request to the private management system 116 in the private cloud of the requestor. The private management system validates the users    authorisation to access the resource and supplies a token to the CMN. This allows user authorisations to be stored and managed locally by administrator 118. If authorised the CMN forwards the request to the relevant SPN. This may be done by sending the SPN a message telling it that a service request is waiting on a queue at the CMN. The SPN than pulls the request from the queue. The requests may be encrypted with the SPN public key. Requests sent directly from users/client to SPN may be redirected to CMN for authorisation processing.
