Title: Audio playback
Inventor: GREEN ANTHONY
IPC: G11B19/02
Filed: 2011-04-26
Abstract: An audio playback apparatus includes a receiver 1301 for receiving audio data files and storage device 1305 for storing received data files. A manually accessible physical play button 1303 is responsive to a request to sequentially play the audio data files contiguously in a temporal order. The data files may remain in storage until all of the available memory has been used, whereafter the audio data files are overwritten with new material on a first-in-first-out basis. The data files may be transmitted over the internet and received via a physical medium or radio link 1304. The apparatus may have a data table where each audio file includes a temporal designation and the files are read in an order determined by the temporal designations. The designations may indicate that a file is highly temporally relevant and should be played as soon as possible or of minimal temporal relevance indicating that the file may still be relevant in a weekâ  s time. The apparatus may be contained within a bowl shaped touch tablet.

Patent GB-2485876-A (GB)
Title: Address server
Inventor: QUINTARD CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2010-07-16
Abstract: A server for attributing network addresses to virtual machines in a parallel computing environment, whereby the server defines the available range of network addresses as one or more ranges defined in terms of a start address (211), an end address (212) and one or more status values (213) applying equally to every address in the range. Status values may be "in use" "available" "reserved" etc. When a virtual machine requests a set of ranges, the server selects an existing range comprising sufficient addresses to satisfy the request, and splits it into new ranges, one of which comprises exactly the number of requested address, this range being attributed to the requesting virtual machine. A beautification algorithm regularly parses the ranges to merge adjacent ranges having identical status.

Title: Caching large video objects with multiple, unknown and varying anchor points
Inventor: DEVI UMAMAHESWARI
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2012-07-04
Abstract: In a method for caching video object portions, a request for stand-Â­alone content in a video object (202, Figure 2) is received 502, the content neither being cached nor adjacent a cached video portion, and a first portion of the video object is cached 504. A value (e.g., relating to popularity, age, etc) is assigned 506 to the first video object portion. A subsequent request for content in the video object is received 508, the subsequent request corresponding to access to the first video object portion and a second, uncached portion (such as segment 212, Figure 2) of the video object. The value of the first video object portion is updated 510. Then, for the second video object portion, an amount to cache and a value are determined 512, e.g. based on video object value, available storage, or the size of the second portion. Thus, a method of partial caching of large video objects is provided, increasing the cumulative hit rate of edge caches and lowering traffic; only popular video segments may be cached, and already-cached video chunks may be split or divided (306e, 306f: Figure 3). The subsequent request may ascertain overlaps with cached data.

Title: Mouthpiece assembly method for a woodwind instrument
Inventor: HANSON ALASTAIR
IPC: G10D9/035
Filed: 2012-12-03
Abstract: A mouthpiece assembly and alignment arrangement for a woodwind instrument in which a reed 20 is aligned and secured to a mouthpiece 30. The alignment arrangement prevents movement of the reed relative to the mouthpiece except in the opposite direction to the assembly direction. The alignment means may be located in the mouthpiece or in the reed, or in any combination of the mouthpiece and reed. For example, the reed is aligned and affixed to a recess in the mouthpiece, where the edge surfaces of the reed abut the edge surfaces of the recess. Alternatively, one or more protrusions formed on the mouthpiece (51, 52, figure 4), reed or separate to both, fit corresponding recesses in the reed (53, 54, figure 5) or mouthpiece. The alignment means locates the tip (22, figure 2) of the reed close to the lip (32, figure 2) of the mouthpiece in a highly repeatable manner.

Title: Active and passive circuitry for a bidirectional interconnect for parallel processing
Inventor: SATPATHY SUDHIR KUMAR
IPC: G06F13/40
Filed: 2013-02-05
Abstract: A data signal propagated along a bidirectional communication path within a data processing apparatus, where first and second circuits being identically constructed are connected in parallel, but at any point in time one being an active circuit monitoring a value of the data signal and the other passive. The active circuit initially starts in a low gain state where its transition detection circuitry is monitoring the value of the data signal in order to detect a transition in that signal, but the drive circuitry is at that time not active. However, on detection of a transition by the transition detection circuitry, the active circuit enters a high gain state where the switch circuitry disconnects the transition detection circuitry from the bidirectional communication path, and the drive circuitry is activated in order to drive the data signal on the bidirectional communication path to the opposite value. This provides a high performance and energy efficient mechanism for transferring the data signal. At this point the active and passive circuits swap roles, so that the apparatus is self-configuring, avoiding the requirement for external configuration signals, reducing energy consumption.

This selection of wavelength and pulse length enables the grooves to be formed with substantially no damage to the underlying colour filter layer, the transparent non-conductive layer or the second transparent conductive layer on the second side of the glass substrate. The touch sensor may be integrated into a liquid crystal display (LCD). Laser patterning may take place before or after assembly of the LCD.

Title: Method and device for processing web requests
Inventor: RUELLAN HERVÃ
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-07-18
Abstract: HTTP/2 drafts provides a system whereby the relative dependencies of different data requests can be specified such that a server may efficiently priorities responding to the requests. The drafts use a weighted tree to represent these dependencies and with branch weights representing the division of available resources. The drafts indicate that it is preferred to keep completed requests in the tree in order to maintain balance in resource provision and avoid conflicts arising from new dependencies on recently deleted requests arriving. It also indicates the possible tree overload problem that may result. The invention proposes various rules to manage the pruning of requests from the tree and creating ordered lists of requests to be deleted. Example rules include least recently used and least recently created. The claims specify dependency tree pruning of this type applied universally.
