Title: Improvements in and relating to network communications
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER ALAN SPENCER
IPC: H04W88/16
Filed: 2016-10-17
Abstract: User equipment 2 attempts to connect to a network via an access point 3 which is associated with a network portal apparatus 12. The connection request is sent to a portal aggregation server 7 which stores network portal addresses for a plurality of network portal apparatuses 12 13 14. The server maps the access point to its respective portal apparatus using an identifier in the connection request then redirects the request accordingly. A network portal or web portal is a website that serves as the point of access for information. The use of the portal aggregation server avoids the need to provision access points and routers. The server may apply an authentication protocol and only perform redirection if authentication is successful. It may further function as a proxy for the actual authentication server associated with the portal, such as an AAA or RADIUS server. An access point identifier may map to a plurality of network portal addresses, and multiple identifiers may map to a common network portal address.

Title: Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a video bitstream for merging regions of interest
Inventor: NAËL OUEDRAOGO
IPC: H04N19/88
Filed: 2019-03-29
Abstract: Encoding and decoding video data comprising pictures into a bitstream of logical units, where the pictures are divided into picture portions and the picture portions are spatially divided into sub-portions, and the sub-portions are grouped. A parameter set applying to a sub-portion group is determined, a first identification information of the determined parameter set is determined, and a second identification information associated with the sub-portion group is determined. A parameter set identifier is determined based on the first and second identification information. The bitstream has a first, a second, and an additional logical unit. The first logical unit is a group of sub-portions. The second logical unit has the parameter set for the group of sub-portions and the parameter set identifier. The additional logical unit has the association between the sub-portion group and the second identification information. The present invention solves the APS or PPS identifier collision problem when merging tile groups or sub-pictures from different bitstreams without amending the tile group structure by introducing a second identification information associated to each tile group in a parameter set of the bitstream.

Title: Automated shade control in connection with electrochromic glass
Inventor: JOEL BERMAN
IPC: G02F1/15
Filed: 2012-12-21
Abstract: Automatic control of a variable characteristic of glass, such as a window of a building. A standard management routine is established based upon solar load on the glass or solar penetration through the glass. The standard routine may for example be based on a proactive algorithm (i.e. predictive) which models the scheduled sun’s rays on the glass throughout the day. The automatic control overrides the standard routine in response to the presence of at least one of: calculated reflected light on the glass (900, fig 9), calculated shadow on the glass (800, fig 8), the actual thermal load on the glass exceeding a predetermined value, or a calculated thermal load on the glass exceeding a predetermined value 700. The override control may be based on a reactive algorithm (i.e. real-time). The variable characteristic of the glass may be, for example, a shading coefficient, visible light transmission, heat flow or reflectivity. The variable characteristic of the glass may be implemented using switchable, dynamic or smart glass, which may use electrochromic or magnetochromic coatings/layers, or glass having suspended particle coatings/layers, or polymer dispersed liquid crystal coatings/layers. The glass may form part of a window, skylight, door, or animal enclosure.
