Patent GB-2328102-A (GB)
Title: Display techniques for three-dimensional virtual reality
Inventor: CARRARO GIANPAOLO U
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 1998-07-28
Abstract: A limitation of a three-dimensional world in which objects in the distance may be represented in only two dimensions as a video on a screen is that when an object within the field represented by the video undergoes a trajectory that takes it to a location in the world that is not represented by the video but instead is a location in the foreground which is represented by computer graphics, namely, any portion of the object that is no longer on the video screen disappears. To overcome this limitation, when an object within the field represented by the video 103 undergoes a trajectory that takes it to a location in the world that is not represented by the video but instead is a location in the foreground which is represented by computer graphics 105, 109 such an object, or portion thereof, is made to continue to be visible to the user by representing it at the foreground location to which its trajectory was carrying it using computer graphic techniques 113, rather than video. Thus, the video object "pops" out of the video and becomes visible, e.g., in front of, or to the side of, the video screen, rather than becoming invisible because it is no longer on the video screen.

Title: Powder coating of wood-based products
Inventor: MAYGER KIM RODNEY
IPC: B05D7/08
Filed: 1999-01-29
Abstract: Medium density fibreboard (MDF) is powder coated by pre-heating the board to increase the electrical conductivity at the surface spraying a cloud of coating powder onto the surface of the heated board so that a coating of powder is formed on the board by electrostatic attraction, and heating the coated product to a curing temperature, higher than said elevated temperature, to cause the coating to harden and bond with the surface of the board on cooling of the board to room temperature. The initial heating of the board is preferably such that its temperature is within a range of 40‹C to 100‹C during coating, and the curing temperature is preferably no greater than 160‹C. Such a method is capable of applying a homogenous coating in an economical manner without degrading the board. The coating may be applied by an electrostatic gun aided by air pressure. The board is preferably supported on a conductive jig 32 having an electrically-insulating sleeve 36 which passes through a recess 30 in the board : the sleeve prevents coating particles at 31 from being attracted preferentially to the jig.

Title: Video encoder
Inventor: MAY ANTHONY RICHARD
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 1999-05-24
Abstract: The invention encompasses a video encoder (300) for compressing and encoding frames of an image sequence for transmission. The invention also encompasses a method of video encoding. The video encoder (300) has segmentation means (322) for recognising at least one object (450) in a frame (400) of an image sequence. An encoder (304) encodes blocks of the image sequence into a single bitstream for transmission, blocks containing the at least one object being transmitted preferentially over other blocks. The segmentation means (322) may operate under user control (324). The invention provides enhanced viewing of an image sequence, particularly after transmission over a transmission channel of limited bandwidth. The video encoder (300) may be made compatible with the H.263 standard, whereby a standard H.263 receiver can then decompress and decode the transmitted image sequence. The invention may be incorporated into a mobile or a portable radio, or a mobile telephone.

IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: A method of reporting errors in a mobile telecommunications network comprising a core network 1 and a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) 4. The method comprises the steps of generating an error message at an error originating entity in one of the core network and the UTRAN, sending the error message to an error destination entity in the other of the core network and the UTRAN over an Iu interface, and, at each intermediate entity through which the error message passes, incrementing a distance counter contained in or accompanying the error message. The error destination entity is able to identify the error originating entity on the basis of the value of the distance counter contained in or accompanying the received error message. Alternatively, the error message may be accompanied by a code which identifies the originating entity.
