Title: Gate valve
Inventor: MOSMAN BRADLEY WAYNE
IPC: F16K3/02
Filed: 2010-01-12
Abstract: A non-rising stem gate valve 10 includes a drive sleeve 30 disposed between a gate 32 and a threaded stem 18.

Title: Managing communication resources
Inventor: FROST TIM
IPC: H04W88/06
Filed: 2014-09-29
Abstract: A method and system for managing communication resources within a cellular network such as an LTE network are disclosed. The method comprises receiving from a base station 20 information indicating the load of the base station; determining groups of user equipment, UEs 10, engaged in a group call such as an MBMS group call, in a first mode of operation to be migrated to a second mode of operation based on the load; and sending a message indicating that the determined groups of UEs 10 are to migrate. The message may be a cessation of the group call. The load information may include an indication that a load threshold has been reached, or an indication of the utilization of one or more MBMS resources. The UEs may be migrated from multicast to unicast operation if MBMS resource utilization is above a first threshold, preferably using MBMS resources configured for multicast if no UEs in multicast mode are using the resource. Alternatively, they may be migrated from unicast to multicast if utilization is above a second threshold. A time indicator may be provided to synchronise the migration, preferably by joining an IP multicast user plane data distribution group in order to receive SYNC packets.

Title: Packaging
Inventor: NIGEL DAVIS
IPC: B65D75/36
Filed: 2015-09-07
Abstract: A carrier 56 for a blister pack 94 includes a first panel 82 having an opening 84 for movably receiving a blister of the blister pack, and a second panel 80 having one or more dispensing openings 81 aligned with the first panel opening 84. The blister pack is slidably received between the first and second panels 82. The carrier 56 includes a blocking tab 86 between the panels that is moveable between a blocking position and a dispensing position.

Title: Digital media splicing system and method
Inventor: MICHEL ROUJANSKY
IPC: H04N21/44
Filed: 2015-10-08
Abstract: A system and method of inserting a secondary stream (e.g. advertisements, regional content) of digital frames into a primary stream (from-stream, incoming stream) of digital frames without transcoding (e.g. stream format conversion), the primary stream being encoded according to a first format (e.g. plural closed group of pictures, GOP) and the secondary stream encoded in a second format where each frame is independent of a succeeding frame (I- and P-frame only format). The approach comprises receiving a requested splice-out point in the primary stream 201; determining an optimal splice-out point 203 in the primary stream in dependence upon the requested splice-out point; receiving a requested splice-in point in the primary stream; determining an optimal splice-in (insertion) point 204 in the primary stream in dependence upon the requested splice-in point; and replacing the section of the primary stream between the optimal splice-out and optimal splice-in points with the secondary stream 204. Each GOP may be independent of any frame from another GOP; the first GOP frame may be an I-frame. Optimal splice-out/in points may depend on a primary stream I-frame or P-frame. Closed GOP boundaries may be detected, and selected as splicing points. Timing (PCR, DTS, PTS) may be adjusted.
