Title: Trick play user activity reconstruction
Inventor: Simone Franzini
IPC: H04N21/442
Filed: 2017-04-20
Abstract: Reconstructing trick play (e.g.pause, rewind, fast-forward) user activity by analyzing playback information of a recorded program during a playback session to identify trick play actions. The playback information includes a first sequence 32 of separate video offset events associated with different points of time during the playback session at spaced intervals. For each adjacent pair of video offset events separated by one of the spaced intervals, a change of video offset is compared relative to a change of time to determine a type of trick play action occurring between the adjacent pair of video offset events. A sequence of trick play actions is reconstructed from the trick play actions identified. The output sequence 36 comprises the sequence of trick play actions and a subset of playback information that is unable to be incorporated into trick play actions in the analysis step. The method may include analyzing additional playback information 38 and merging this with the reconstructed sequence of trick play actions 36. The embodiments use batch processing of possibly incomplete or out of order sequences of video offset events and, at merge processed new input data with previous output data to produce new output data 44.

Title: Exception return instruction
Inventor: MATTHEW LUCIEN EVANS
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2017-06-28
Abstract: Memory access circuitry enforces ownership rights for memory regions (e.g. Figure 3). A given memory region is associated with an owner realm specified from multiple realms, each realm corresponding to a portion of at least one software process, such as a virtual machine or hypervisor (e.g. Figure 2), which may be an untrusted hypervisor. Processing circuitry processes software processes at one of a plurality of exception levels associated with different levels of privilege. The owner realm has a right to exclude other realms from accessing data stored within the given memory region, i.e. exclusive rights to control access. In response to a first variant of an exception return instruction, the processing circuitry returns from processing of an exception while staying within the same realm 406. In response to a second variant of the exception return instruction, the processing circuitry switches processing from a current realm to a destination realm 418.

IPC: B23D29/00
Filed: 2017-07-07
Abstract: Apparatus 2 for the removal of a circular collar 18 swage-mounted on a cylindrical projection 16, comprises a connection member 8, such as an adjustable collet, for connecting the apparatus to the cylindrical projection. The cylindrical projection defines a major axis A-A of the apparatus when the connection member is connected to it. A moveable cutter 28 selectively engages with the collar after the connection member is connected to the cylindrical projection. An opposing member 32 is arranged to be mounted within the apparatus 10 opposite the cutter. Relative movement between the connection member and cutter 28 or the opposing member 32 permits the collar to be centrally located between the cutter and the opposing member 32 so that the collar 18 is held centrally within the apparatus during cutting. The opposing member 32 may be a reaction member or a secondary cutter, and may be immovable.

IPC: G07C5/04
Filed: 2015-12-18
Abstract: A system and method for monitoring an industrial vehicle 105 includes a first imaging subsystem which acquires a plurality of load-carrying-portion images. A cargo-detection subsystem analyses each of the load-carrying-portion images to determine whether cargo 120 is positioned on the load-carrying portion 110. A power-detection subsystem determines when the industrial vehicle is running. A motion-detection subsystem determines when the industrial vehicle is in motion. An analytics subsystem calculates the amount of time that the industrial vehicle is running, the amount of time that the industrial vehicle is running while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion, the amount of time the industrial vehicle is in motion, and the amount of time the industrial vehicle is in motion while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion. A second imaging subsystem may be provided to acquire a plurality of images of a driver compartment 125 and a driver detection subsystem analyses the images of the driver compartment to determine whether a driver is present in the compartment.
