Title: Recommending audio-visual content based on user's personal preerences and the profiles of others
Inventor: AUSTIN KENNETH
IPC: H04H60/46
Filed: 2011-08-24
Abstract: Generating audio-visual (AV) content recommendations to a first user comprising receiving data indicating AV content of interest from a plurality of second users, automatically identifying a plurality of relationships between interests of the second users, and generating a recommendation engine which takes input indications of AV content of interest from a first user and generates recommendations of further AV content of interest to the first user based on a subset of the plurality of relationships. AV content may comprise television programmes, TV series or episodes, films, movies, radio broadcasts or internet media such as Video On Demand (VoD), and may comprise content already viewed or not viewed by the second users. Recommendations may be assigned a priority that may be based on timeslots. A neural network with input nodes, hidden layers and output nodes may be used to generate the recommendations. The neural network may be trained further over time. Neural network relationships between thousands of viewers may be matched to personal user preferences to give the most relevant recommendations, and may be incorporated into a TV s electronic programme guide (EPG).

Title: Cold water retrieval system using containers
Inventor: EDWARDS DOUGLAS
IPC: F03G7/05
Filed: 2011-10-27
Abstract: A system for raising water from within the sea, especially for use in ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) systems, Mari culture, hydrogen production or low temperature desalination, comprising a cable suspending a container which has a contractible section or a snorkel so that when the container is emptied a vacuum is not created. The contractible section may be a membrane forming a syringe which is driven by a motor or by pumped water filling the container. The containers may be removed from the cable when they are being emptied to allow other containers to raise water at the same time. Alternatively the container may remain attached to the cable and empty its water into an extractor case. When the container is being emptied of cold water the opposite side of the membrane may be filled with brine or waste water to reduce the parasitic drag of the system.

Title: Sock ironing jig
Inventor: BENNETT ALAN
IPC: D06C5/00
Filed: 2011-11-04
Abstract: A sock top easing system includes a flat, heat and steam resistant form or jig to accept and hold in place a stretched sock top under tension to, or near, its elastic limit.

Title: A logic circuit performing a multiplication as the sum of addends operation with a desired rounding precision
Inventor: DRANE THEO ALAN
IPC: G06F7/523
Filed: 2012-06-29
Abstract: A method of deriving register transfer level representation of a logic circuit performing a multiplication as the sum of addends operation with a desired rounding position. In this, an error requirement to meet for the design rounding precision is derived. For each of the constant correction truncation (CCT) and the variable correction truncation (VCT) implementations a number of columns to discard is derived and a constant to include in the sum addends is also derived which will comply with the error requirement. For a least mean square (LMS) implementation, a number of columns to discard is derived which will comply with the error requirement. After discarding the columns and including the constants as appropriate, an RTL representation of the sum of addends operation is derived for each of the CCT, VCT and LMS implementations and a logic circuit synthesized for each of these. The logic circuit which gives the best implementation is selected for manufacture.

Abstract: An example embodiment is an apparatus for controlling a magnetic direction of a magnetic free layer. The apparatus includes a writer with a first magnetic write layer and a second magnetic write layer. Applying a write voltage across first and second magnetic write layers causes a magnetic anisotropy of one of the magnetic write layers to switch from parallel to the plane of the magnetic write layers to orthogonal to the plane of the magnetic write layers. The magnetic write layer with the magnetic anisotropy parallel to the plane of the magnetic write layers induces the magnetic direction in the magnetic free layer.

Title: Triathlon braces
Inventor: INGARGIOLA GIANLUIGI
IPC: G09F21/02
Filed: 2013-09-18
Abstract: A pair of triathlon braces or suspenders 3 which work complimentary with a running belt 1 to secure a race number 2 to the body of an athlete. The elastic braces are worn over the shoulders and attach directly to the running belt at one end using a clip 11. At the other end, the belt can be attached to the top of a race number (e.g. via toggles, 8). The arrangement forms a harness to secure the race number from four corners preventing it flapping during movement, therefore reducing air resistance and allowing better identification of athletes. The fastener 7 can detach the braces from the belt to allow the harness to be rotated around the body of the wearer, before being reattached. This allows the athlete to switch the race number from their back to their front, e.g. during a transition phase of a triathlon.
