Title: Interactive content selection system
Filed: 2012-04-23
Abstract: In an interactive (e.g. video) content system, viewers of a programme being broadcast select or vote for content to be included in the programme, the programme presenting to viewers plural content items for selection and inclusion in the programme; viewers transmit selection data to a data processing system which determines, from the selection (viewer, user choice) data, selected content items to be broadcast and associated broadcast times. Various system features are claimed: allowing submission of personal content for broadcast, with moderation 3, 4 suitability checking; adjusting times of advertisement break broadcasting, according to the length of chosen content items, to comply with advert regulations; automatic broadcast schedule creation, leaving a free period leading to a programme end time, and dynamically varying the free period length and the content item to occupy the free period; and terminating the ability to transmit (user, choice) selection data based on reaching a predetermined time period from the end of content being broadcast. Also claimed is a system (Figures 2, 3) displaying user-submitted (e.g. SMS, MMS text) messages, in ladder arrangement, with new messages moving old messages off of the ladder, and using best fit criteria for message display.

Title: Method and apparatus for the leak testing of filters
Inventor: WILCOX DAVID E
IPC: G01N15/08
Filed: 1980-02-27
Granted: 1986-06-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the leak testing of filters (30) arranged in series in a housing, comprises supply pipes (40, 41) for introducing DOP particles within the housing and immediately upstream of each filter, and a hinged restriction member (54a, 54b) mounted in the housing upstream of each filter and downstream of the location at which the DOP is introduced for mixing the airstream and DOP and then dispersing the mixture over the full frontal area of the adjacent filter. A sampling device (70b, 70c) is mounted downstream of each filter for monitoring the airstream to detect DOP particles and thereby permit a determination as to whether any particles are leaking through or around the filter. The restriction member (54b) disposed between the filters serves the dual purpose of mixing the airstream and any leaking particles, during testing of the upstream filter, preparatory to monitoring of the airstream by the sampling device (70b), as well as mixing the airstream and the particles introduced by the adjacent upstream supply pipes (40, 41), preparatory to dispersing the mixture over the full frontal area of the downstream filter, during testing of the latter.

Inventor: AHNE HELMUT DR
IPC: C08F2/00
Filed: 1981-06-01
Granted: 1985-05-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of highly heat-resistant relief structures with a base of polymers of heterocyclic structure by applying radiation-sensitive soluble polymer precursor stages in the form of a film or foil to a substrate, irradiating the film or foil through negative patterns with actinic light or by deflecting a light, electron or ion beam, removing the non-irradiated film or foil portions and, optionally, by subsequent annealing, as well as to the use of relief structures prepared in this manner. It is provided to use as polymer precursor stages addition products of cyclic carboxylic-acid anhydrides with hydroxyl group-containing compounds, where the hydroxyl group-containing compounds represent addition products of olefinically unsaturated mono-epoxides on carboxyl group-containing prepolymers of polyimides, polyisoindoloquinazoline diones, polyoxazine diones and polyquinazoline diones or on amino group-containing prepolymers of polyimidazoles and polyimidazopyrrolones or on hydroxyl group-containing prepolymers of polyoxazoles.

Title: Method of dyeing and finishing tubular textile materials
Inventor: OPPITZ PETER
IPC: D06B15/02
Filed: 1982-11-19
Granted: 1986-04-24
Abstract: The very economical padding methods for applying liquid treatment agents and which have largely become established for flat-lying material are also interesting for dyeing and finishing tubular textile material. In the latter case, the use of this technique is however opposed by the finding that on impregnating circular-knitted goods on a pad mangle the squeeze edges are marked on both sides of the tube, which gives rise, for example, to undesirable color differences. According to the invention, this adverse phenomenon and the problems arising therefrom can be avoided if, through maintaining a relatively high liquor pick-up by the textile material and through mechanical shifting of the edges, the liquor is enabled to level out any unevenness produced on squeezing.
