Inventor: TYRES GARY
IPC: F16K27/02
Filed: 2014-01-07
Abstract: A valve assembly comprises a valve stem 21 with a resilient proximal seal 25 and a distal seal 28 disposed around the stem. The proximal and distal seals are axially separated from one another along the valve stem. A housing 10 defines a valve chamber 11 in which the valve stem 21 is confined so as to be axially displaceable within the valve chamber. The housing 10 defines a first portion 41 of the valve chamber 11 in which the proximal seal 25 resides, and a second portion 42 of the valve chamber in which the distal seal 28 resides. The housing further defines a cross-bore 12 which opens into the valve chamber 11 in a third portion 43 between the first 41 and second 42 portions. The third portion 43 has a minimum cross-sectional diameter d2 greater than the cross-sectional diameter d1 of the first portion 41, and preferably larger than the uncompressed diameter of the proximal seal 25. During assembly, as the proximal seal 25 on the valve stem 21 passes the cross-bore 12, risk of damage to the proximal seal 25 by machined edges of the cross-bore is reduced or avoided.

Title: Adaptive span control
Inventor: MANI SENTHIL KUMAR
IPC: H04N21/6437
Filed: 2014-09-30
Abstract: A method of transmitting data, comprising: determining a measure of consecutive packet loss in a network; the measure used to select a ratio of a number of data packets and a number of error correction packets; generating a stream of data packets; and, using the ratio, generating a stream of dependent error correction packets. The measure of consecutive packet loss may be determined from a histogram sent from the receiver to the transmitter, the histogram having a plurality of bins, each bin representing a number of consecutive missing data packets and having a frequency indicating a number of occurrences of that number of consecutive missing data packets. The bin having the smallest number of consecutive missing data packets which has a predetermined frequency may be determined. The histogram may be filtered to remove outliers before determining the measure and may have a windows size dependent on a transmission mode, the mode dependent on a measure of network quality. A method of receiving data is also described wherein a subset of error correction packets associated with sequence numbers missing from packets received at a buffer are determined and identifiers of error correction packets associated with sequence numbers of data packets that are unsuitable for correction are removed.

Title: System, method, and program for storing and controlling access to data representing personal behaviour
Inventor: DAVID SNELLING
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-02-05
Abstract: At ID retrieval apparatus 14, information revealing the identity of an individual is received, typically submitted S101 by the individual 40. A request, corresponding to the received personal identifying information (PII), is submitted S102 to ID generation apparatus 12 which generates an anonymised user ID. In return, the anonymised user ID is received S103 by the ID retrieval apparatus and output S104 to the individual, preferably without storing any record of the PII. Data engine 20 comprises data store 22 and access controller 24. The data store is inaccessible to the ID retrieval apparatus and is configured to receive S105 and store data representing behaviour of the individual, typically utilising a behavioural data source infrastructure or device, e.g. to measure and record a physical property of the individual or to record user interactions. The behavioural data are anonymously personalised by association with the anonymised user ID and, in order to access S107 the stored personalised behavioural data, the access controller requires that a data access request S106 from a service provider 30 specify the anonymised user ID.
Patent GB-2525292-A (GB)
Title: Detecting personal activity
Inventor: MILLS NIGEL LINDSAY
IPC: G08B21/04
Filed: 2015-02-24
Abstract: At least one motion detector is provided in each room of a dwelling to be monitored. At least one of the motion detectors is battery powered and includes a wireless transmitter for transmitting activity reports to a control system. The control system is arranged to await an activity report from a detector indicative of movement, followed by an activity report from a detector monitoring another room. An alert is issued when an alert period expires following receipt of a first activity report, and no activity report has been received from another detector. When a motion detector detects activity and an activity report is transmitted to the control system, the timing of a minimum reporting period is started to inhibit further activity reports being transmitted by the detector until the period has expired. The detector during this period records the time of the first activity following starting of the timing and also the time of the latest activity. On expiry of the minimum reporting period, the detector transmits to the control system the times of the first and latest activities. In this way the number of reports transmitted wirelessly to the control system is reduced so extending battery life.
