Title: Controlling the streaming of media from a server to a receiver using variable bit-rates
Inventor: REDELINGHUYS FERDINAND CHRISTAAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2012-08-31
Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for controlling the provision of media from a server to a receiver. The media is divided into portions (or fragments) with each portion having multiple versions that are available from the server at different encoding bit rates. A first value indicative of a first bit rate (which may be the available bandwidth on a connection between the server and the receiver) and second values indicative of a ranking for the portions are used to select different encoding bit rates for the portions. The portions corresponding to the selected encoding bit rates are then provided to the receiver from the server. The method is designed to ensure that the most appropriate bit-rate is chosen for each portion by basing the choice of the encoding bit-rate on both the first bit-rate (which may the available bandwidth) and on a value that is indicative of the ranking of the portions.

Title: Apparatuses and methods for analysing charged species
Inventor: HOPKINS MICHAEL
IPC: H01J49/34
Filed: 2013-07-22
Abstract: A beam 10 of charged particles, such as ions, are analysed using a system including a gate having entrance and exit positions separated by a distance S, the gate being switchable between open and closed states allowing or preventing charged particles from passing through. The gate is periodically switched at a frequency F, and a duty cycle x expressed as a ratio. The average kinetic energy U(Î±) of a particle within the gate can be controlled by varying a parameter Î± of the system. A timeâ€�averaged collection current I from charged particles exiting the gate is measured as Î± is varied, and a discontinuity in the derivative of the current I at a given value of Î± indicates the onset of a current component attributable to a charged species of mass m entering the gate. The mass m is determined from the relationship: where Um(Î±) is the value of U(Î±) at which said discontinuity in the derivative of the current is determined.

Title: Monitoring circuitry for optical transceivers
Inventor: SHIH TIEN-TSORNG
IPC: H04B10/40
Filed: 2012-08-23
Abstract: The monitoring signals associated with operating parameters of an optical transceiver are ascertained by using a comparator arrangement external to a micro-controller unit. Monitoring signals associated with these operating parameter are provided as inputs to a discrete arrangement of comparators and then evaluated against a known reference voltage source (or current source, as the case may be). The reference source is swept across a known range of values, and when the output of the comparator changes state, the value of the reference input associated with this transition is defined as the value of the specific monitoring input signal and stored within the proper memory location within the microcontroller portion of the transceiver monitor circuit. The digital output signal of the comparator is applied as an input to the microcontroller, which recognizes this digital signal as defining the specific value of the reference signal to use and equate with the value of the monitored signal. Separate, external power supply and temperature sensors may also be included in the arrangement.

Title: Improved tractive power at low speeds
Inventor: BRINKMANN BERND
IPC: F02D41/22
Filed: 2014-07-02
Abstract: The method is for operating an internal combustion engine and comprising the steps of: determining a coolant temperature of an engine coolant of the engine S2; comparing the coolant temperature with a predetermined threshold temperature S3; and reducing a thermal input into the engine coolant by changing at least one operating parameter of the engine if the coolant temperature is higher than the predetermined threshold temperature. Ideally the at least one parameter is a charge pressure of charging air admitted to the engine, whereby the charging pressure is increased if the a sensed charge air temperature S5 is lower than a maximum charge air temperature S6,S7. If the charge air temperature exceeds the maximum charge air temperature then the charging pressure is not increased and the method is either repeated after a time delay or alternative measures for preventing overheating of the engine are taken such as reducing engine power. The method is particularly suitable for when vehicles are towing loads up a hill or incline where a load placed on the engine is high but there is reduced air flow over a cooling radiator of the engine.
