Title: System and method for transferring large video files with reduced turnaround time
Inventor: HON KIT TSIN
IPC: H04N21/85
Filed: 2019-08-02
Abstract: A method comprises: performing, by one or more processors of a computing device, transfer of a series of video chunks of a video signal, each video chunk of the series of video chunks comprising a sequence of video frames (e.g. of equal length). For each video chunk, the one or more processors perform a processing cycle comprising: receiving the sequence of video frames from a source; processing the received sequence of video frames to generate a processed sequence of video frames, wherein receiving of a consecutive video chunk of the series of video chunks comprising a consecutive sequence of video frames is initiated simultaneously while initiating the (parallel, simultaneous) processing of the received sequence of video frames; and transmitting the processed sequence of video frames for consumption at a destination. A time of transmitting of the video frame sequence may also overlap with the processing time of the consecutive (subsequent) video frame sequence. The method may be applied to video frame sequence transfer for a video on demand (VoD) system.

Title: A sensor
Inventor: ANDREW BOND
IPC: G01L1/12
Filed: 2020-03-18
Abstract: A sensor for sensing an external force such as acoustic wave or vibration comprises a magnetometer 101 positioned proximate to a magnet 103 and configured to sense a magnetic field associated with the magnet 103. Exposure of the sensor to the external force will cause one of the magnetic 103 and magnetometer 101 to move relative to the other such that the magnetometer 101 detects a change in the sensed magnetic field resulting from the relative motion of the magnet 103 and the magnetometer, thereby detecting the presence of the force or vibration on the sensor. The magnetometer may be of the MEMS, fluxgate, Hall effect type or particularly a quantum magnetometer in which the quantum state of Caesium or Rubidium atoms in a gas cell is determined by using a laser to determine the Larmor frequency of gas particles.

Title: Viewing structured data published to a topic tree as restructured data tree according to a topic view mapping
Inventor: PHILIP ALLAN GEORGE ASTON
IPC: G06F16/90
Filed: 2021-03-26
Abstract: A distribution server restructures content and information published to a topic tree for presentation to a subscribing client. The distribution server receives a request to create a topic view from a client and creates the topic view in response. The topic view includes a set of selected topics and a topic view mapping. The topic view mapping maps the topic paths for the set of selected topics to a set of reference topics at a set of reference paths. In other words, the topic view restructures the content and information by creating new branches in the topic tree. Whenever a selected topic receives an update from a publisher, the distribution server publishes the update as restructured content and information to the reference topics at the reference paths. A client subscribed to the reference path receives the update in a restructured manner. The syntax may define a set of topic selectors for the set of selected topics, the set of topics selectors describing a set of selected topic paths the plurality of topic paths corresponding to their respective selected topics.

Title: Hydraulic trigger with locked spring force
Inventor: BO CHEN
IPC: F16K35/06
Filed: 2021-04-19
Abstract: A system includes a compression spring having a latch sleeve, a piston rod including a groove section, and a ratchet assembly that progressively moves the piston rod in a downward direction. A latch collet on the latch sleeve sits on the groove section of the piston rod in a first position of the system. The latch collet locks a spring force of the compression spring as the ratchet assembly progressively moves the piston rod in the downward direction. The latch collet becomes unsupported from the groove section when the piston rod has progressively moved a predetermined distance, causing the compression spring to release and provide a push force that actuates a hydraulic valve from the first position to a second position.
