Title: Allocating resources to static terminals in a communications network
Inventor: WEBB WILLIAM
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2011-09-15
Abstract: In a communication network comprising a plurality of mobile and static terminals, the network identifies which terminals are static and designates them as static terminals. Communication resources of the network are allocated in dependence on the designations before communication takes place. The network identifies and stores the locations of the static terminals and stops performing location updates for them. Terminals in the same locality are identified and resources allocated based on resources that have already been allocated to other terminals in the locality. For example the communication mode (modulation type, spreading factor, data rate) can be set to be the same as other nearby terminals. Also hopping frequencies can be selected to avoid interference, simultaneous transmission by nearby terminals can be avoided by appropriate time slot allocation. Cells can be sectorised to distribute static terminals more evenly or a microcell established to serve areas of concentration of static terminals.

Title: Transmitting a source frame into a multi projector video display system
Inventor: FRETAY TRISTAN HALNA DU
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2012-05-31
Abstract: A method, device, computer program and information storage means for transmitting a source frame into a video display system comprising a plurality of projectors, which aims to minimize latency while keeping a correct synchronization between sub-frames of the source frame. The video display system 10 produces a projected image 106 from the source frame 100, each projector 102 - 105 being arranged to display a sub-frame 106A - 106D. The video display system further arranges a display delay, equal to a delay between reception of a source frame synchronization signal and a sub-frame display synchronization signal, dependent on the positions and the orientations of the video projectors, for example whether the projector is in landscape or portrait mode or whether it is positioned along the bottom border of an arrangement. The delay is calculated such that display of the projected image begins before at least one projector has received an associated complete sub-frame. In another embodiment the delay is calculated such that the display of the projected image is suspended until data associated with the sub-frames of the bottom border of the projected image are placed in a buffer.

Abstract: A method for managing adsorbent and or absorbent particles within a manufacturing process whereby the particles 3 are dispersed onto the top surface of an air permeable substrate 4, the particles being in the range of between 0.01 µm to 500 µm. The particles are subjected to an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge process to de-agglomerate the particles whilst they are substantially in contact with the air permeable substrate, such that the particles become located substantially below the top surface of the air permeable substrate. The particles within the air permeable substrate may then be consolidated by passing hot water vapour and/or steam through the substrate. After the hot water vapour or steam treatment, mechanical pressure map be applied to the substrate to ensure consolidation. Alternatively, hot air may be passed through the substrate at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. The particles may be organic or inorganic, and can be activated carbon, metal organic frameworks, sodium polyacrylate, zeolites etc. Preferably, the substrate is a non-woven fabric, paper, an open cell foam, woven fabric or felt. The inclusion of adsorbent/absorbent particles may be desirable in hygiene products such as infant diapers, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products etc.
