Title: Transmitting recorded data in the event of a road vehicle accident
Inventor: LANCASTER JOHN
IPC: G07C5/00
Filed: 2010-11-19
Abstract: A method and system comprises measuring vehicle data, including vehicle acceleration data, and recording the measured data. The measured data is analysed to detect a crash event and in the event of a crash being detected, sending the recorded data to a data storage device separate from the vehicle. The data at the remote storage device can then be analysed to determine accident causes and faults for insurance and prosecution purposes. A plurality of accelerometers each having the same alignment direction but different sampling frequencies may be used to detect the crash with a threshold acceleration of 1.5G being used to trigger the crash detection. A GPS receiver may alternatively be used to calculate acceleration and used to send a location to the remote data storage device. The data transmitted to the separate data storage device can include a time period before and after the detected crash. The method and system also includes sending vehicle data to the data storage device at predetermined intervals even if a crash is not detected.

Title: Controlling video projectors of a multi-projector system
Inventor: INOHIZA HIROHIKO
IPC: G03B21/14
Filed: 2012-05-24
Abstract: A method and control device for distributing source images to video projectors of a multi projectors system in which the control device and the video projectors are interconnected by communication links. Information representative of the transmission capacity of each communication link 520 and/or the availability of each video projector 510 of the multi projectors system is first determined and the source image split into sub-images according to this determined information 525. The display parameters (such as zooming value, lens shift value and position and size of the sub-image) required for each sub-image are then determined so that the source image is preserved 530. The sub-images and display parameters are then transmitted from the control device to the corresponding video projectors through the communication links 535. The method enables continued display of the original source image even when one of the sub-images is lost either through loss/degradation of one of the communication links or through the loss of one of the video projectors.

Title: Master/slave control of touch sensing
Inventor: WILSON THOMAS JAMES
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2011-08-05
Abstract: Touch sensing can be accomplished using master/slave touch controllers that transmit drive signals to a touch surface and process sense signals including superpositions resulting from master/slave drive signals. The master/slave can drive and sense different sets of lines, respectively, of the touch surface. A communication link between master/slave can be established by transmitting a clock signal between master/slave, transmitting a command including sequence information to the slave, and initiating a communication sequence from the clock signal and sequence information. The slave can receive/transmit communications from/to the master during first/second portions of the communication sequence, respectively. Touch sensing operations can be synchronized between master/slave by transmitting a command including phase alignment information from master to slave, and generating slave clock signals based on the clock signal and the phase alignment information, such that sense signal processing by master clock signals are in-phase with sense signal processing by slave clock signals.
