Title: Method of forming an article
Inventor: CHRIS BOCKING
IPC: B29C45/37
Filed: 2016-02-03
Abstract: A method of forming an article 2 including providing a mould having an outer part 12 and inner part 14, with first and second respective surfaces. The mould is closed to define a cavity between the surfaces, including an annular cross section between circumferential edges of the cavity. The distance between the first and second surfaces alternates around at least a part of the circumference. Molten plastic composition 8 (before foaming) including polymer and a blowing agent are then injected into the cavity. The composition is allowed to form a first skin 4 adjacent and in contact with the first surface, and a second skin 6 adjacent and in contact with the second surface, the composition between these two skins remaining molten. Finally the mould is opened before the molten part has solidified, thus allowing the composition to expand by foaming. During this step the first skin is no longer in contact with the mould 10 (after foaming), but the second skin is maintained in contact with the second surface. The article may be a cup.

Title: Method and apparatus for image compression
Inventor: PAYMAN AFLAKI BENI
IPC: H04N19/186
Filed: 2017-05-31
Abstract: An image comprising luma and chroma components (e.g. YUV or YCbCr image) is processed to determine at least two different areas within the image, 704. The chroma component in each of the different areas is then encoded in a different way, 706-712. For example different quantization parameters may be used for the different areas or one of the areas may be subjected to chroma sub-sampling. Further different encoding methods include using different bit-depth representations for the different areas or performing high frequency filtering on one of the areas. The different areas within the image may be determined based on the eye gaze of a user, the presence of a human face or body, the distribution of cone cells in the retina, depth information, the quantity of high frequency components in the luma/chroma components or the presence of alpha-numeric characters. Also disclosed is a method of receiving an MPD file corresponding to an image containing at least two different area in which the representations of the first and second areas have different chroma properties.

Title: Automatic adjustment of magnetostrictive transducer preload for acoustic telemetry in a wellbore
Inventor: RICHARD LINES
IPC: E21B47/16
Filed: 2015-04-22
Abstract: A magnetostrictive transducer system included as part of a drill string for use downhole in a well to convey signals across regions of the drill string that preclude the use of wired communication elements. The magnetostrictive transducer conveys a carrier signal as an acoustic wave through a drill collar region to an acoustic telemetry receiver, which passes an output both to an uphole processing system and back into the magnetostrictive transducer system. The output signal and carrier signal are compared to determine sub-harmonics or higher order harmonics of the output or carrier signal indicative of offset in the magnetostrictive core of the magnetostrictive transducer system, and provides a corrective component signal to automatically adjust the magnetostrictive core though preloading forces.
