Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: A video recording system is described to facilitate time-shifting of television program viewing for multiple users. Each user is identified by an associated user profile which may contain restrictions on viewing times or program content. A program schedule, including a list of programs to be recorded, is maintained for each user. The television programs are recorded and stored in a compressed format on a hard disk, or other non-volatile storage, for later viewing by the users. Each user can log into the system and view any of the television programs that have been recorded for him. A master user, such as a parent, can add a new user to the system by setting up a new user profile. A permanent copy of a television program can be written to another medium, such as a compact disk, DVD, or videocassette tape.

Patent GB-2359356-A (GB)
Title: Open-loop light intensity calibration
Inventor: TESSADRO ANA
IPC: G01J1/12
Filed: 2000-11-10
Abstract: The relationships between the measured output light intensity and the set input light intensity are inconsistent between vision systems or within a single vision system over time. making it difficult to interchange part-programs between visions systems because it might produce images of varying brightness on another vision system. However, many machine vision measurements depend on the brightness of the image. To solve this problem, a reference curve is generated for a reference vision system, relating input light intensity value to resulting output light intensity. A corresponding specific lighting curve is generated for a specific vision system that corresponds to the reference vision system. A calibration function is determined that converts a reference input light intensity value into a specific input light intensity value. Accordingly, when an input light intensity value is input, the specific vision system is driven at a corresponding specific input light intensity value such that the output light intensity system is essentially the same as the output light intensity of the reference vision system when it is driven at the same input light intensity value.

Patent GB-2382670-A (GB)
Title: A method of copy protection of digital data by altering codewords to introduce impulse errors which are then marked as uncorrectable
Inventor: AYLWARD ADRIAN ROBIN
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2001-07-25
Abstract: A digital audio compact disc is copy protected by introducing altered values into the encoded digital audio data. In addition, all of the codewords containing the introduced altered values are changed so that the altered codewords are identified as uncorrectable. This identification of codewords as uncorrectable is used to force the altered data values to be subject to interpolation or other concealment means during playback of the audio data. As a data reader does not utilise error concealment means when reading data it may subject the altered codewords to additional attempts at correction or may pass the digital audio data, incorporating the altered values, unchanged. This means that if a data reader is used as the input to a copier, the copy produced will be degraded. In this respect, the altered values correspond to impulses (82, Fig 8a) superimposed onto the analog audio data (80) and are audible as clicks. Preferably the altered values are positioned so as to correspond to the particular features in the analogue audio waveform. Such features may be peaks, to maximise the loudness of the clicks produced by the introduced impulse. Alternatively the altered values can be placed to correspond to other areas in which the rate of change (gradient) of the waveform is low; or, simply at specific places chosen by reference to waveform shape. Other preferable features include the XOR-ing of at least four bytes of codewords with a value of at least four bytes and changing only parity bytes of a codeword.
