Title: Video data processing input and output system
Inventor: TYSON PETER JOHN
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: Video data processing method and apparatus where video data is transferred to a first memory buffer and the data manipulated. The manipulated data is then transferred to a second memory buffer and written to a plurality of storage disks. Also disclosed is the reversal of this process to retrieve video data from a plurality of disks. The system uses RAID techniques for data storage, placing data for a given region of a video image onto a number of separate discs. Disc striping is disclosed whereby image stripes are split into segments, each segment being stored on a separate disk. Additionally, the system removes blanking data from video images, re-packs video data from video to computer format, and allows data to be routed from one memory buffer to another.

Title: Retrieval of location related information
Inventor: CROUCH SIMON EDWIN
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: A mobile device, 20Z, obtains a locality indicator from a wide-area communications means (such as radio cell or GPS) and is provided with a short-range communications means, 28, to retrieve local information, from local transmitters, 51B. The locality indicator and local information (such as about a local business or landmark) may be combined in a database, and is used to retrieve and display specific information about the locality of the mobile (for example a specific branch of a business.) By combining the locality indicator and local information, such as the current cell ID in which the cellular phone is camped, the user position can be determined with less ambiguity. A service system, 40, may be provided that has searchable database(s), by location, and may provide more specific information, such as location, supplementary landmark information or about the party controlling the local transmitter, 51B, from which the local information was obtained. The short range system may be wireless or infra-red.

Title: Emergency lighting with automatic changeover to battery supply
Inventor: HSU HOU-NAN
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 2002-04-15
Abstract: An emergency power supply device that may provide illumination automatically during power dip or interruption includes a voltage change over circuit 2 for identifying the conditions of power interruption or decrease of voltage, and for selecting a battery power supply accordingly. The lamp power source circuit 3 is controlled by the voltage change over circuit, to increase the direct-current voltage of the storage battery, and to convert the power supply into an emergency alternating-current electric power. When the power supply alternating-current voltage is lowered to be under 60% of its normal voltage, or when a power interruption happens, the battery supply may be converted into an emergency alternating-current electric power supply to the lamp. The storage battery is charged by the charge/discharge circuit 5 under normal conditions.

Title: Handle position indication device
Inventor: HOU JEN-EN
IPC: A47D13/02
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: A handle position indication device used in a safety seat (10) equipped with a rotatable handle (20), comprises embedding grooves (31) on the safety seat (10) and a positioning mechanism that is composed of a fastener (32), a spring component (33) and a release button (34). When the handle (20) is swung relative to the safety seat (10) to a specific position, the fastener (32) is pushed by the spring component (33) to such a degree that it is trapped in a locked position in a locking groove (31) and thus fixed, though the handle (20) may be allowed to swing freely if the fastener is pulled through a release button (34) to a released position outside a separate embedded groove. In addition, two indicating areas for example, a colour block (224, 325) are on the positioning mechanism for differentiation, while the handle (2) has a indication window 22 through which different indicating areas are shown when the fastener is in a locked position or in a released position, so that a user may visually determine whether the handle is in a locked position or not. The indicating areas can be on the handle (Figs 7 and 8).

Title: Method and apparatus for injecting a fluid into a well
Inventor: ALLEN TIMOTHY J
IPC: E21B33/03
Filed: 2001-11-14
Abstract: An injection spool for use in the injection of a fluid, for example a slurry of drilling cuttings, into a subsea wellhead assembly has an outer housing having a central bore therethrough. The housing has a first end for connection to a wellhead assembly such that the central bore of the housing is aligned with the central bore of the wellhead assembly. A inner housing, for example an isolation sleeve, having a central bore therethrough is disposed within the central bore in the outer housing, whereby a cavity is formed between the inner housing and the outer housing. A port in the outer housing has an opening into the cavity between the inner housing and the outer housing, through which a fluid may be injected. The inner housing has a portion extending from within the outer housing beyond the first end of the outer housing for forming a cavity within a wellhead assembly to which the injection spool is connected. The cavity thus formed connects the cavity in the injection spool with an annular cavity defined by adjacent casings present in the wellhead assembly. In this way, a fluid injected into the injection spool through the port in the housing flows into an annulus between two casings in well, from which it can be injected into an underground formation.

Title: Cradle lifting clamp
Inventor: DALY ANTHONY
IPC: E01C19/52
Filed: 2003-11-06
Abstract: The Cradle Lifting Clamp includes two lifting legs (1 and 2) welded to a lifting handle or arm (4). When two clamps are fitted to each end of the the rectangular object to be lifted, with the lifting arms facing in opposite directions, the object can be lifted by two persons in unison, simultaneously raising and lifting the handles so that the clamps twist in opposite directions. Upon twisting, the striker plate (3) locks against the object and as a result it can be safely lifted, by a grip force resulting of friction developed by the opposing forces exerted by the legs on the outer upright surfaces of the rectangular object to be lifted. The handles (4) are long enough to space the user away from the danger zone when lifting.

Title: Transmitting uplink data in a CDMA system according to a channel environment
Inventor: HEO YOUN-HYOUNG
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2004-02-06
Abstract: A CDMA communication system includes a Node B 202, a user equipment (UE) 204 located in the region of Node B 202, and a neighbour Node B 203. When the UE 204 is located in a soft handover region, where the coverage area of neighbour Node B 203 overlaps with that of Node B 202, its channel environment is usually very poor. Therefore, whilst not being in the soft handover region, the UE 204 transmits uplink data to the Node B 202 for a first predetermined transmission time interval (TTI), whereas when the UE 204 is in the soft handover region, it transmits uplink data to Node B 202 and neighbour Node B 203 for a second predetermined TTI. Because a UE 204 located in a non-soft handover region has a relatively good channel environment, it can perform high-speed data transmission using relatively high transmission power at shorter periods TTISHORT, whereas a UE 204 located in a soft handover region can perform stable data transmission at longer periods TTILONG.

Title: A displacement controlled milling device
Inventor: HESS JOSEPH E
IPC: E21B29/06
Filed: 2004-02-23
Abstract: A method of controlling the displacement of a cutting device 34 conveyed on a tubular string 32 in a well 14 comprises actuating an anchoring device to anchor an axial displacement device 40 and the cutting device 34 in the well, and then applying a pressure differential to the axial displacement device 40 to displace the cutting device. The advantage of this system is that it secures the cutting device 34 so that the heave cannot cause the cutting device 34 to impact other downhole components 12, whilst the operation is conducted from an offshore floating vessel.
