Title: A system and method for simultaneously recording multiple media assets using a single tuner
Filed: 2012-07-03
Abstract: A method for facilitating multiple recordings via a single tuner includes isolating data packets 13 associated with recording candidate media assets from at least two broadcast data streams and generating at least one broadcast recording data stream from a subset of the isolated data packets. The broadcast recording data stream is broadcast in parallel with the original broadcast data streams, where the broadcast recording data stream is broadcast via a dedicated broadcast recording device 22D and the original broadcast data streams are broadcast via other broadcast devices 22A, 22B, 22C. The remaining data packets not included in the isolated data packets are stored in broadband data segments 16, and transmitted 17 via an IP connection 5 to facilitate reassembly of partially recorded media assets, where the partially recorded media assets were recorded from the broadcast recording stream. Related methods and apparatus are also disclosed. The number of programs included in a given transponders data stream can therefore be increased by broadcasting a certain ratio of each program as a segmented broadcast and delivering the left-over packets via broadband. The exact percentage of segments broadcast is variable and may be uniform, prioritised or subject to manual input.

Title: Seat spring system
Inventor: THOMPSON JAMES EDWARD
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 1981-09-23
Granted: 1985-04-25
Abstract: A seat suspension system, which includes a height adjustment valve for positioning a seat at a desired height in response to manual positioning of a height adjustment lever by controlling the amount of hydraulic fluid supplied to a cylinder having a piston therein coupled to the seat, provides damping of vertical motion of the seat by an accumulator coupled to the cylinder via a conduit so as to receive the hydraulic fluid from the cylinder and two different valves disposed in the conduit. A manually adjustable flow control valve has an adjustable orifice within the conduit for providing the seat with a nominal amount of damping. The damping of the suspension system is increased beyond the nominal amount in response to seat velocity in a downward direction by the second valve which responds to the pressure of hydraulic fluid flowing from the cylinder to the accumulator so as to restrict the flow of the fluid by an amount dependent upon the fluid pressure and thereby the rate of change of downward movement of the seat. At the same time the second valve is generally unresponsive to the pressure of fluid flowing in an opposite direction from the accumulator to the cylinder so as to be unidirectional in nature.

Title: Process for convertions carbo-metallic oils to lighter products
Inventor: MYERS GEORGE D
IPC: B01J8/18
Filed: 1982-03-19
Granted: 1985-04-25
Abstract: A process for economically converting carbo-metallic oils to lighter products. The carbo-metallic oils contain 650 DEG F and material which is characterized by a carbon residue on pyrolysis of at least about 1 and a Nickel Equivalents of heavy metals content of at least about 4 parts per million. This process comprises flowing the carbo-metallic oil together with particulate cracking catalyst through a progressive flow type reactor having an elongated reaction chamber, which is at least in part vertical or inclined, for a predetermined vapor riser residence time in the range of about 0.5 to about 10 seconds, at a temperature of about 900 to about 1400 DEG F, and under a pressure of about 10 to about 50 pounds per square inch absolute sufficient for causing a conversion per pass in the range of about 50% to about 90% while producing coke in amounts in the range of about 6 to about 14% by weight based on fresh feed, and laying down coke on the catalyst in amounts in the range of about 0.3 to about 3% by weight. The spent, coke-laden catalyst from the stream of hydrocarbons formed by vaporized feed and resultant cracking products is separated and regenerated in one or more regeneration beds in one or more regeneration zones by burning the coke on the spent catalyst with oxygen. The bed density is in the range of about 25 to about 50 pounds per cubic foot and the bed or beds are sustained by fluidization gas containing combustion-supporting gas having a linear velocity in the range of about 0.2 to about 4 feet per second Liquid water is added to the bed or beds in a weight ratio of water to converter feed from about 0.01 to about 0.5 to at least partly absorb the heat produced by the burning coke The catalyst particles are retained in the regeneration zone or zones in contact with the combustion-supporting gas for an average total residence time in said zone or zones of about 5 to about 30 minutes to reduce the level of carbon on the catalyst to about 0.25% by weight or less. The regenerated catalyst is recycled to the reactor and contacted with fresh carbo-metallic oil.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the connection of optical fibres by fusion splicing
Inventor: MARR DONALD
IPC: G02B6/24
Filed: 1983-09-28
Granted: 1987-05-14
Abstract: Inspection of a fusion splice between the ends of two optical fibres, said splice being reinforced by a support member, is facilitated. In particular, inspection of the joint between the optical fibre cores in a fusion splice is facilitated. The splice is held in a transparent support member by means of a transparent adhesive matched in refractive index to the cladding of the fibre. Apparatus is described which allows the splice to be viewed in two directions at right angles by means of a microscope whose position may be adjusted therefor without rotation relative to the support member. The arrangement is of particular relevance to splices between monomode fibres whose small core diameters call for a high degree of precision in jointing in order to avoid optical loss.
