Title: Digital television broadcast data stream authentication
Inventor: DAVID ALAN SHAW
IPC: H04N21/8352
Filed: 2015-01-08
Abstract: A digital television broadcast data stream authenticator which provides an indication of authenticity 405 of a digital television broadcast data stream 401. A receiver is configured to verify the broadcast stream by processing the indication of authenticity.

Title: Method and system for determining a relationship between two regions of a scene
Inventor: JONATHAN TAQUET
IPC: G06T7/292
Filed: 2016-08-22
Abstract: A relationship is determined between two image data sets captured by (e.g. PTZ) camera(s) of a multi-camera networking system and representing two regions of a scene. A first set of visual descriptors (e.g. histograms of quantized values of chroma components) characterizing visual features of a first region is extracted, based on a first image data set, each descriptor having a first extraction date (i.e. time). A second set of visual descriptors characterizing visual features of a second region is then obtained, based on a second image data set. For each first set descriptor, a number of occurrences (i.e. frequency or rarity) and a second extraction date/timing is determined based on a generated distribution model based on other (e.g. previous) descriptors. A subset of the first set descriptors is selected dependent upon their determined rarity and second extraction date/time. Finally, a descriptor of the subset is compared with a descriptor of the second set, and a relationship between the first and second regions is determined based on the comparison result. The relationship may comprise a target tracking or recognition relationship or an event or flow propagation relationship. The logical topology in a video surveillance system may be determined from the relationship.

Title: Detecting out-of-bounds violations in a hardware design using formal
Inventor: IAIN SINGLETON
IPC: G06F21/74
Filed: 2016-10-14
Abstract: A hardware monitor 300 is used by a formal verification tool for detecting out oF bounds violations in a hardware design. It comprises: monitor and detection logic 308 to repeatedly determine a current operating state of an implementation of the hardware design and detecting when the instantiation fetches an instruction from memory; assertion evaluation logic 310 to evaluate assertions of a formal property that compares a memory address of the fetched instruction to an allowable or unallowable memory address range associated with the current operating state to determine whether an out-of- bounds violation has occurred. The memory address of the fetched instruction is determined from a program counter of the hardware design. Setting an operating state register 316 in response to the hardware design completing a boot process reflects the current operating state. The hardware design is implemented in high level hardware description language (HDL) such as register transfer level languages (RTL).

Title: Leg length correction in hip replacement surgery
Inventor: Garth Peter Grobler
IPC: A61F2/76
Filed: 2016-11-18
Abstract: A method, that may be computer implemented, is provided for selecting prefabricated components of a hip prosthesis comprising a femoral stem 1, a femoral head 2 and an acetabular cup component 3 for use in hip replacement surgery. The method includes determining a planned leg length correction pre-operatively from measurements and image data (e.g. x-rays) and identifying a suitable prosthetic implant assembly for achieving the planned leg length correction. A measured vertical height of a resected femoral head of a patient's femur is determined in the vertical direction and the diameter of a suitable acetabular cup component is determined following the preparation of a receiving acetabular site. The measured vertical height b is deducted from a predetermined prosthetic implant assembly height a to provide a calculated leg length correction, and the planned leg length correction is compared with the calculated leg length correction. The calculated leg length correction may be recalculated with alternative components if the difference between the two components exceeds a threshold value (e.g. 2 to 6mm).

IPC: C03C14/00
Filed: 2017-01-05
Abstract: A method of producing a glass briquette (20, fig 2) in which reclaimed glass fines are mixed with a binder material to create a mixture then compressed to conform in a chamber. The reclaimed glass comprises glass fines of a size of smaller than 10 mm e.g. smaller than 1 mm. The method is performed without melting the glass fines such that the resulting briquette contains the discrete glass fines held in the binder and may be used as a furnace ingredient for later glass product production. The moulding may be performed by tyres/rollers 11, 12 which may be counter-rotating and may have multiple pockets, e.g. in rows. The binder may be a lignosulfonate or sodium silicate binder, preferably from a spraying system 4. The glass briquette may contain other batch ingredients required in the production of glass. The briquette may be 1-10 wt % binder e.g. 2-5 wt. %. The relative breakability of glass and the size of the glass fines may aid in screening out contaminants.
