Title: Suspension file storage container
Inventor: DALAIMO MICHAEL
IPC: B42F15/00
Filed: 2014-05-15
Abstract: A storage container 2 for storing suspension files comprises a base 4; a wall 6 upstanding from the base defining a suspension file receiving zone 12; first and second spaced apart elongate support elements 14, 16 each having an elongate support portion 18 extending in a longitudinal axis arranged to support a suspension file in the suspension file receiving zone 12. The first support element 14 is reconfigurable between first and second support configurations wherein the support portion 18 is spaced apart in a transverse axis from the wall 6 at different distances. Advantageously, the invention provides a solution whereby the separation between the spaced apart elongate support elements 14, 16 can he adjusted to accommodate suspension files of different widths. Also, the first and second support elements do not project beyond a rim of the wall. This allows the suspension files to be decanted into the container, and a lid for covering the receiving zone can he shut. Individual containers can then he stacked on top of each other quickly and simply without the risk of stacked containers tipping or damage being caused to the suspension files contained therein.

Title: Head-mountable apparatus and systems
Inventor: JEREMY DAVID ASHFORTH
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2014-06-11
Abstract: A head mountable display (HMD) 20 has a head motion detection function and one or more operations which depend upon detected head motion. The detected head motion is stored as motion data, and the way in which the detected head motion is applied to a current operation depends upon the stored motion data. The head motion detection function may be enabled by a camera 122 or a hardware motion detector (332, fig, 9B) such as a piezoelectric accelerometer or optical fibre gyroscope. The motion data may comprise data dependent upon head motion of the user of the HMD aggregated with motion data for other users. A scaling may be applied between the available range of head motion for a particular user and the range of head motion required by a particular HMD operation. An HMD operation may require less head motion during an initial period of use than during a later period of use of the same operation. The HMD may comprise a gaze detector configured to detect eye orientation of the HMD user so as to detect image regions at which the user is looking.

The information describing the organization of the different layers is included into one or more sub-boxes, wherein at most one main descriptive box comprises the one or more sub-boxes. Alternatively, if the main descriptive box is related to a track resulting from the encapsulation of a subsample being encoded into the at least one second layer, then at least one sub-box of the main descriptive box comprises a type parameter for signalling that the media data are multi-layer tiled media data. The encapsulated data is subsequently recovered.

Title: Metagenomic analysis of samples
Inventor: CLEARY JOHN GERALD
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2014-12-09
Abstract: Methods and system for evaluating prevalence of genomes in a source. Estimated proportion values for genomes in a first and second sample of the source, taken at different times, are optimised based on prevalence data of segments in the samples and the genomes. The method may involve evaluating change in prevalence of reference genomes in a source, including maximising a probability function, such as a Poisson distribution or a global probability function, and optimising proportion values. Estimated proportion values may be optimised iteratively using a Hessian matrix. Input data may further comprise prevalence of variants of the segments, with indels or substitutions, in the genomes. Segments that do not correlate with the genomes may be categorised as paired or not paired end reads, and used to refine proportion values.

Title: System for conveying fluid from an offshore well
Inventor: CAIN DAVID
IPC: E21B19/00
Filed: 2013-07-23
Abstract: The riser system of the present invention includes an external production riser for floating structures with interfaces to the dry and subsea wellheads, internal tieback riser with a special lower overshot/slipping connector for elevated temperatures. The seals can be metallic and/or non-metallic dynamic seals. Special centralizing pipe connectors and a special subsea wellhead tubing hanger are also included. This riser system avoids the penalty of pipe within pipe differential thermal growth and the resulting unwanted effects on the floating structure. This is accomplished by allowing an overshot sealing slipping connector to swallow an expanding polished rod as thermal conditions cause pipe elongation axially. When elevated temperatures fall to ambient the opposite occurs as the pipe shrinks axially. Alternatively, a system is possible where a two pipe drilling riser is needed. The internal pipe in this case would be an inner riser rather than a tubing string.
