Title: A surveillance method, a surveillance apparatus, a surveillance system, and a program
Inventor: KLAUS KLAUSEN
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2017-12-20
Abstract: A surveillance method comprises: receiving a request from a client to transmit video data having a capture time; and determining whether the video data is to be masked (obscured, obfuscated, etc, e.g. by blurring), wherein if it is determined that the video data is to be masked: obtaining mask (e.g. mask area or region) data that corresponds to the capture time of the requested video data; and sending the video data and the mask data to the client. The determination whether to mask or obscure the video data may be based on receiving client operator permission (authorisation) settings.

Title: Graphics engine resource management and allocation system
Inventor: Teemu Virolainen
IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 2018-02-07
Abstract: Resources (e.g. memory and/or processor capacity) are allocated for rendering by first assembling (21) a plurality of rendering nodes (e.g. object glow), each having defined input(s) and output(s). A schedule for the nodes is created (22) based on the input(s) and output(s). The nodes are scheduled such that multiple rendering algorithms (e.g. opaque rendering algorithm) can be carried out concurrently. A set of resource barriers (e.g. cache flushes) are also defined which can include system resource barriers. These barriers process the nodes based on the schedule. Each node may be a GPU-performed routing and/or a piece of work. Creating the schedule may comprise creating a directed acyclic graph of the nodes (fig. 1), their input(s) and output(s), the graph optionally being topologically sorted into a single list outlining the order of node rendering which can be executed. Nodes with similar resource requirements can therefore be executed before a resource barrier is executed. Claims are included for a method and apparatus for rendering an image using the resource allocation above (30).

IPC: A41D13/12
Filed: 2020-08-24
Abstract: An article 100 comprises a textile body 101, a conductive region 103 and an embossing material 105. The embossing material 105 causes the conductive region 103 to adopt and retain a raised, embossed, profile 107 that projects outwardly from a surface 102 of the textile body 101.The method comprises applying heat and/or pressure to the article 100 to cause the article 100 to adopt the embossed profile 107. The raised, embossed, profile 107 is retained upon release of the applied heat and/or pressure as the embossing material 105 has bonded to the textile body 101 due to the application of heat and/or pressure. The embossing material could be silicone, a film or an embossing yarn. When forming part of a garment the arrangement could form an electrode, for example to gather biometrics from a wearer’s skin, or to interface with external equipment like a control unit.
