Title: Interactive television data entry
Inventor: JORDAN STOKOE
IPC: H04N21/422
Filed: 2015-10-08
Abstract: An internet enabled mobile communications device, 18, (such as a smart phone or tablet computer) is paired with a connected (or smart) TV (CTV) application, 12, to enable the mobile device to be used to input data associated with the CTV application. The CTV application registers with a remote server, 16, to receive events associated with the CTV application. A unique identifier associated with the CTV application is then used to pair the mobile device and the CTV application. This can be achieved by either displaying the unique identifier on the mobile device and receiving the same identifier inputted via the CTV (Figure 3a) or by displaying the unique identifier on the CTV and receiving the same identifier inputted via the mobile device (Figure 2a). The unique identifier is then used to store data that pairs the mobile device mobile device with the CTV (such as username, email and password details.) After pairing is complete the mobile device can be used to enter data associated with the CTV application. This data is received at the remote server and stored either directly from the mobile device or via the CTV application.

Title: Method for intelligent web reference preloading based on user behavior prediction
Inventor: ALEXANDRE CAPT
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2016-02-15
Abstract: A preloading tool, associated with a browser, facilitates efficient loading for content associated with links in a web document. An index containing links for a current web page is created. The index includes coordinates of the links and trigger area coordinates of a trigger area for each link. When a user interaction is detected in a trigger area indicating the user may wish to navigate to additional content (i.e., the predicted link), standard click behaviour for the predicted link is disabled. Resources required to render the content (i.e., the new webpage) for the predicted link begin downloading and are cached. Once the user actually selects the link, the transition from the current page to the new page is accomplished without the new page appearing broken. In some instances, certain links are excluded from the index and/or target attributes point to one or more containers that will be updated by one or more of the links.

Title: Stabiliser for a boat
Inventor: GERARD ROBERT GRANDCOURT
IPC: B63B39/06
Filed: 2016-05-06
Abstract: Brackets 11 suitable for mounting on the stern of a boat support vertically aligned blades 12 capable of rotating about a vertical axis Y and may be mounted to the boat in pairs. Fins 20 may be in the shape of a hydrofoil and are arranged horizontally and attached at one end 20a to the vertical blades. The fins can rotate about a horizontal axis X. Rotating the fins about axis X to alter their angle of attack through the water, whilst remaining substantially normal to the direction of travel, provides an upward or downward force to the boat affecting the trim and heel angles and reducing roll and pitch motion when moving through the water. Rotating the blades to and fro about axis Y whilst changing the angle of attack of the fins can stabilise the boat when stationary.

Title: A photon source and method of fabricating a photon source
Inventor: DAVID JULIAN PETER ELLIS
IPC: H01L33/08
Filed: 2016-10-14
Abstract: Monolithic semiconductor photon source 3 (and method of manufacture) comprising a first light emitting diode (LED) region 5 and a second region 7 comprising a quantum dot 17; the photon source further comprising: a first voltage source configured to apply an electric field (time varying) across the first light emitting diode region to cause light emission, and a second voltage source (DC) to apply a tunable electric field across the second region to control the photon emission energy of the quantum dot. The semiconductor structure is configured such that light emitted from the first light emitting diode region is absorbed in the second region and produces carriers to populate the quantum dot and whereby the light emitted from the second (quantum dot) region exits the photon source. The energy of the light emitted from the first light emitting region is larger than light emitted from the second region. Preferably the second region (quantum dot) absorption spectrum matches the first region (LED) emission spectrum. The photon source may further comprise of a plurality of regions each comprising of quantum dots. The second region may also be arranged partially around and in plane with the first LED region. The second region may be integrated with a wave-guiding region. The photon source may further include an optical cavity region wherein the quantum dot is located in and is spectrally resonant with the optical cavity. The second region may comprise at least one barrier layer. An alternative embodiment (figure 16) relates to a vertically integrated photon source comprising a lower LED region and an upper quantum dot photon emission region. This may also be inverted and a waveguide incorporated into the structure.

Title: Encoding and decoding variable length instructions
Inventor: Simon Nield
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2016-11-23
Abstract: Methods of encoding and decoding use a variable number of instruction words to encode instructions from an instruction set, so different instructions within the instruction set may be encoded using different numbers of instruction words. To encode an instruction 402, the bits are re-ordered or shuffled and grouped into an ordered sequence of instruction words 406. The bits in the instruction words are compared or matched to corresponding predicted values 408, which are generated using empirical and/or simulation data, and based on this comparison one or more instruction words are omitted to form a compressed or truncated instruction 410. Decoding reverses this process (Figure 7) to decompress or expand back to the original instruction. A method to output encoding software and a hardware description of a decoder (Figure 10) is also provided.

Title: Router node, network and method to allow service discovery in a network
Inventor: TIMOTHY JAMES SPEIGHT
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2016-12-07
Abstract: A router node for a network comprises: a transceiver; an interface coupled to the transceiver; and a signal processor coupled to the transceiver which supports a consensus protocol. The signal processor is coupled to a cache and configured to receive and distribute resource records to other nodes in the network via the interface and store the resource records in the cache. The resource records comprise router node multicast Domain Name System, mDNS, information. The signal processor is configured to support DNS service discovery, DNS-SD. The resource records include a Type-Length-Value, TLV, describing mDNS, cache information. The consensus protocol is a Distributed Node Consensus Protocol, DNCP, which may use the Home Network Control Protocol, HNCP, profile as an extension to DNCP. The router is configured to publish resource records whenever the cache is updated 604, which may be following receipt of announcement messages 602. The network may be a small network such as a mesh or home network. When the transceiver receives an mDNS query 652 it responds if the queried service is contained in the cache 654, 656 and may further respond if the queried service is in the cache as it was learned from the consensus protocol [Fig. 7].
