Title: Reduced document stroke storage
Inventor: RUSSELL SPEIGHT VANBLON
IPC: G06F3/0488
Filed: 2016-05-25
Abstract: A method identifies a handwritten character from stroke data and maps the handwritten character to a user-specific font character (e.g. a custom font based on the users handwriting) based on the stroke data. Character encoding corresponding to the users specific font character is then stored. Character encoding may further include size, orientation and horizontal scaling. Mapping may include determining a deviation between stroke data and a user specific font matching the handwritten character and generating a new font character based on the stroke data in response to the deviation exceeding a character variant threshold or generating a new font character based on stroke data in response to stroke data not matching any font character of the font set. Stroke data may be variant in response to mapping the handwritten character to a user specific font character. Input may be from a touch screen, touch panel, digitiser, digital pen, scanner, imager or digital camera. The method may reduce a system storage of stroke data.

Title: Methods of configuring a wing tip device on an aircraft
Inventor: ROBERT IAN THOMPSON
IPC: B64C3/56
Filed: 2016-06-22
Abstract: An aircraft 1 has wing tip devices 7 which are movable between different configurations. When on the ground the wing tip is in a configuration which reduces the overall span of the wings such that the aircraft can operate at an airport with limited capability for accommodating large span aircraft. When the aircraft crosses a boundary 17 to enter the runway 19 the wing tip device is moved to a swept forward configuration for take-off in which it has a first lift coefficient. Once the aircraft is in flight the wing tip device is moved to a flight configuration in which it has a second lift coefficient which is lower than the first lift coefficient. For landing the sequence of configurations is reversed and a landing configuration may be the same as, or similar to, the take-off configuration. In the flight configuration the leading edge 13 of the wing tip device becomes a continuation of the wing leading edge 15. In the take-off and landing configuration the wing tip is moved to a configuration where its leading edge is swept forward from the leading edge of the end of the wing. A further flight configuration may be adopted which is suitable for high-speed cruise.

Title: Audio file
Inventor: SIMON JOHN LEWIS
IPC: G11B27/029
Filed: 2016-06-30
Abstract: A digital dictation file comprises a recording comprising a plurality of recording portions. Each portion of at least first and second portions of the recording is captured from a microphone and a playback marker defining a position in the digital dictation for each portion to start playing is determined. A recording mode (e.g. overwrite, insert, deletion) of each portion is determined and the portions are stored in the file, appending the second recording portion to the first recording portion. Recording makers defining the start of each portion in the file are determined. The recording maker, playback marker and the recording mode are stored in an entry of a transaction table for each portion and table is stored in or associated with the file. The method allows a user to insert or overwrite audio by appending the audio to the end of the recording in the file. The transaction table is maintained to keep a record of the different portions of audio and where they have been inserted into the file.
