Title: A self-opener closure for composite packagings or for container spouts to be closed with film material
Inventor: WEIST MARIO
IPC: B67D99/00
Filed: 2003-05-22
Granted: 2011-04-12
Abstract: The self-opener closure comprises a spout (2) having a projecting lower rim (9) which is to be moulded or glued to a composite packaging, an associated rotary cap (1) as well as a self-opener sleeve (3) arranged within the spout (2). This self-opener sleeve (3) can be made to rotate by the rotary cap (1). The inner side of the spout (2) is provided with four guide webs having varying inclines arranged over its inner circumference. These interact with specially formed guide ribs at the outer wall of the self-opener sleeve (3), which brings about that the self-opener sleeve (3), when continuously rotated in the inside of the spout (2), and by being guided at these guide ribs, describes an uneven downwardly directed movement, which superposes its rotational movement. Thus, the self-opener sleeve (3) first pierces the paper or cardboard laminate with the tip (24) of its lancing mandrel in a steep, screwline downwardly directed movement, and thereafter completes a horizontal rotational movement about 340°, whilst it cuts a circular disk out of the laminate with its sharp cutting edge, and thereafter pivots this downwards and retains it in this position.

Title: System and method for compressing portions of a media signal using different codecs
Inventor: REYNOLDS JODIE L
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2003-10-28
Granted: 2012-03-20
Abstract: An input module (fig. 3, 302) obtains a media signal to be communicated to a destination system (204), after which an identification module (304) identifies a plurality of scenes within the media signal. A selection module (306) automatically selects different codecs from a codec library (308) to respectfully compress at least two of the scenes. The codecs are automatically selected to produce a highest compression quality for the respective scenes according to a set of criteria without exceeding a target data rate. A  compression module (310) then compresses the scenes using the automatically selected codecs, after which an output module (312) delivers the compressed scenes to the destination system (204) with an indication of which codec was used to compress each scene.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use in reducing power consumption in battery-powered mobile communication devices in wireless local area networks (WLANs) are described. In one illustrative example, a mobile device in a WLAN is configured to normally refrain from receiving broadcast messages so that it may remain in a low power mode of operation. A network server is configured to convert broadcast messages into unicast messages for receipt by the mobile device only if the message or protocol type of the broadcast message is one in which the mobile device needs to process. As the mobile device is still configured to receive unicast messages, it will receive and decode such a unicast message and process the broadcast information within it accordingly. Advantageously, battery power is conserved at the mobile device.
