Patent GB-2519528-A (GB)
Title: Beds
Inventor: GREGORY STEWART
IPC: A47C27/08
Filed: 2013-10-22
Abstract: An inflatable bed (10) comprising a pneumatic base (12) and a pneumatic mattress (14), wherein the base (12) comprises a drop-stitch core (50). The mattress (14) may additionally comprise a drop-stitch core (50). The drop-stitch core (50) suitably comprises an upper sheet of flexible material (52), a lower sheet of flexible material (54) and space yarns (56) interconnecting the upper (52) and lower (54) flexible sheets. The use of a drop-stitch core suitably renders base relatively rigid, such that it may be able to act as a structural component of the bed. By comprising a drop-stitch core, the base can be made relatively high, to elevate the mattress (and the user) much higher above floor level than can be achieved using a conventional pneumatic mattress alone, whilst retaining structural stiffness that reduces the likelihood of the base tipping or collapsing under the weight to a user.

Title: Intra-prediction method, and encoder and decoder using same
Inventor: PARK JOONYOUNG
IPC: H04N19/105
Filed: 2012-04-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to an intra-prediction method and to an encoder and decoder using same. The intra-prediction method according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: deriving a prediction mode of a current block; and generating a prediction block with respect to the current block on the basis of the prediction mode of the current block. When the prediction mode of the current block is an intra-angular prediction mode, values of boundary samples from among left boundary samples and upper boundary samples of the prediction block, which are not positioned in a prediction direction of the intra-angular prediction mode, are derived on the basis of reference samples positioned in the prediction direction of the intra-angular prediction mode, and on the basis of adjacent reference samples.

Title: Bearer reconfiguration
Inventor: VELDE HIMKE VAN DER
IPC: H04W76/06
Filed: 2013-11-01
Abstract: A data transmission method of a User Equipment (UE) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) compliant mobile communications network comprises detecting reconfiguration of a bearer from a split bearer, in which uplink Packet Data Convergence Protocol Protocol Data Units, PDCP PDUs, are transmitted to both a Master eNB (MeNB) and to a Secondary Enb (SeNB), to non-split bearer in which uplink PDCP PDUs are transmitted only to the MeNB. If reconfiguration of a bearer from a split bearer to a non-split bearer is detected, the method further comprises initiating retransmission of PDCP Service Data Units, SDUs, from the first PDCP SDU for which transmission of the corresponding PDCP PDU was attempted via the SeNB and for which there has been no confirmation of successful delivery by a protocol layer below the PDCP layer within the UE. The method further comprises retransmitting only PDCP SDUs for which transmission of the corresponding PDCP PDU was attempted via the SeNB. PDCP PDUs sent via the MeNB are not re-transmitted. The method avoids unnecessary re-transmissions.

Title: Tamper detection with an infra-red motion sensor
Inventor: SHPATER PINHAS
IPC: G08B29/04
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: An infra-red motion detector for monitoring motion in a monitored space is described. The motion detector includes, within a housing, an infra-red radiation sensor sensitive to infra-red radiation incident through a window. A refractive optical system within the housing selects incident infra-red radiation for redirection onto the infra-red sensor. An external light source mounted externally of the housing directs external light through the window providing a recognizable light input. A refractive Fresnel patch mounted externally to the window selects incident light from the external light source and redirects it to a tamper sensor within the housing. A detection controller processes signals output by both sensors in monitoring the space. The detection controller detects incident light from the external light source and trips a tamper alarm in failing detection, and further detects changes in infra-red radiation in the monitored space and trips an intrusion alarm upon detecting changes.

Title: Image noise reduction
Inventor: Marc Vivet
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2015-03-13
Abstract: A first image is transformed to bring it closer to alignment with a second image by first implementing a multiple kernel tracking technique to determine the positions of candidate regions of the first image based on similarity between a set of target regions of the second image and the set of candidate regions of the first image with the target regions of the second image being positioned over the positions of a predetermined set of points of the second image. Using some of these determined positions of the set of candidate regions to initialize a Lucas-Kanade Inverse algorithm and using this algorithm to determine the set of points of the first image which correspond to at least some of the predetermined set of points of the second image. A set of parameter is then determined for a transform to be applied to the first image based on an error metric which is indicative of an error between a transformation of at least some of the determined points of the predetermined set of points of the second image and then the transform is applied to the first image to bring it closer to alignment with the second image.

Title: Food hygiene method and food product
Inventor: HALL JEREMY
IPC: A23B4/09
Filed: 2011-06-07
Abstract: A process is described for reducing the number of viable microorganisms, particularly Campylobacter species, present on the surface of meat, especially poultry. The process comprises the steps of rapidly cooling the surface membrane of a contaminated meat item to a given temperature, preferably between -5 and 2Â°C, and allowing the membrane to warm to a second temperature higher than the first temperature and preferably below 4Â°C. The process is sufficient to reduce the number of viable bacteria, whilst at the same time retaining in the muscle meat the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of fresh meat as monitored by the level of Î²-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH) activity in the muscle tissue. The cooling may be achieved by exposure to a cryogen.

Title: Filtration mask
Inventor: MICHAEL PHILIP LEE
IPC: B05D5/08
Filed: 2015-09-29
Abstract: A method of preventing unintentional bonding, sticking, cohesion or localized welding of a manufactured filtration mask, such as an emergency escape hood 100 which is folded for storage, comprises coating or spraying a wet lubricant barrier release agent, instead of traditionally used talc during manufacture, to first and/or second portions of the mask, such as a neck dam portion 1 and a hood portion 3, and allowing the lubricant to dry into a continuous homogenous barrier film. The wet lubricant may be soluble in water or solvent, wax-based, resin-based or polymer-based, preferably silicone or fluorinated polymers such as PTFE. The neck dam portion 1 and hood portion 3 of the hood are joined, such as by welding, and may be made of polyisoprene and polyurethane respectively, which are melt-processable and therefore susceptible to cohesion under elevated temperature and pressure.
