Abstract: A recording apparatus 10 has a control unit 20, a storage unit 30 and a recording unit 40. The recording unit 40 is arranged to record broadcast signals representing television programs onto storage device 30. If a partially recorded program (e.g. recording starts after the start of the program or finishes before the end of the program (figs 1a-c)) is stored on storage unit 30, the apparatus is arranged to subsequently record and store a full recording of that program. The control unit 20 is arranged to insert markers into the full version of the program to indicate the position or positions of the delayed start and/or premature end of the partial recording. The partial recording can thus be deleted from storage unit 30, but the user of the recording apparatus 10 can still identify the delayed start point and/or premature end point of the partial recording from the full recording. The markers may be determined by frame matching (e.g. Fourier transforms, hash algorithms, Hough transforms, Kalman filter), audio-matching or best match techniques.

Title: Scalable modular cryptographic architecture
Inventor: MACKEY CHRISTOPHER D
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2008-10-22
Abstract: In a High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryption (HAIPE) Interoperability Specification (IS) routing device (23-25, fig. 1) acting as a gateway to an unsecure network (22), HAIPE components are made scalable (and therefore able to be optimised for cost, size, upgradability etc.) by including a cryptographic sub-system (CSS, 42) which handles sensitive data from a "Red" processing sub-system (RPSS, 44) and less sensitive, already-protected data from a "Black" Processing Subsystem (BPSS, 46). The Red subsystem is responsible for key exchange, encryption discovery and other sensitive operations under the control of an integrated management subsystem (50, fig. 4) which handles network configuration data, while the Black subsystem is responsible for routing, fragmenting and reassembling data which has already been protected. Data processing in the Red subsystem is thus separated from management and control functions. This modular architecture allows different factors to be prioritised, and best performance is realised with a fully hardware accelerated implementation (fig. 2) using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).

Abstract: 965, 193. Photographic printing apparatus. AGFA A.G. March 13, 1963 [March 23, 1962], No. 10028/63. Heading G2A. A photographic printer has a series of interchangeable masks for different print sizes, each mask having means (e.g. lugs, contacts &c.) for co-operating with corresponding parts on the printer itself to cause automatic mechanical or electrical adjustment of such variables as paper advance, cutting or marking means, exposure control &c., all by the single operation of inserting the mask into the printer. Fig. 1 shows a rear wall 1 and a horizontal partition 2 of the printing apparatus. Partition 2 has a rectangular opening 3 in which can be placed an interchangeable mask 4 having an exposure opening 5 corresponding to a particular size of print. Below the mask is a displaceable carriage 8 carrying a bracket 9 having a forked upper end 12. On the carriage are fixed a stamping assembly 13, a marking element 14, and a cutter 15a. Each mask has a pin 11 fixed thereto, and on inserting the mask into the printer, the pin 11 is first inserted into the fork 12 and then the carriage 8 moved to bring the mask into position in opening 3. The elements 13, 14 and 15a are thus automatically brought to the correct position. A rack 16 on carriage 8 engages with a pinion 17 to operate an adjustable paper feed mechanism, Figs. (not shown) 2 and 3, described in more detail in Specification 954, 764 [see Division B6]. The exposure value is controlled by a regulating means 56 adjusted automatically according to both the length and width of the print. One pair of a series of pairs of electrical contacts 63, 64 is closed, according to which mask is being used; this gives the regulator a setting value according to the width of the print. The pinion 17 engages with another pinion 57 which moves a sliding Contact arm 58 along a resistor 59; this transmits to the regulator a setting value according to the length of the print.
