Title: Method and device for sub-synchronous oscillation protection in wind farms
Inventor: TAO ZHANG
IPC: H02J3/24
Filed: 2015-11-27
Abstract: A method and device for sub-synchronous oscillation (SSO) or sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) protection in wind power plants, which includes: detecting and demodulating mode signals with sub-synchronous frequencies from line current, and then calculating amplitude of mode signals; a control module implements protective functions according to the following three criteria: a) trend judgment based on the sub-synchronous mode signal; when the modes are detected to be divergent, instability protection acts; b) definite time protection based on the sub-synchronous mode amplitude, if duration time during which the signal has large amplitude is more than a set time limit, the protection acts; c) calculating positive sequence sub-synchronous current and negative sequence sub-synchronous current to construct inverse protection criterion; the outputs for the three criterions are independent and can activate a trip breaker of transmission line or bypass series compensating capacitors to avoid power transmission systems or wind turbines suffering damage from SSR/SSO.

Title: Content delivery from home networks
Inventor: Mark Townsley
IPC: H04L45/748
Filed: 2016-07-20
Abstract: A method for retrieving content on a local network (e.g. a home network) comprising a first device (A) and a second device (D) is described. The method includes receiving, at a router in the network, a request for content from the first device, the request identifying the content using an IPv6 address for the content. The router determines whether the content is stored in a cache of the second device. If so, a request is sent to the second device for the content using the IPv6 address of the content. The content is forwarded to the first device from the second device. If content is stored on more than one device (e.g. server), the device chosen to deliver the content is based on factors such as route latency and device capabilities or permissions. Also described are methods of injecting content such as a film to a home network if demand for the film becomes large, and packaging content with an IPv6 address having a network prefix and a content identifier.

Title: Display control
Inventor: VIACHESLAV CHESNOKOV
IPC: G09G3/34
Filed: 2016-12-21
Abstract: Image data is modified using a spatially variant tone mapping algorithm such that darker regions of an image have their dynamic range adjusted more than lighter regions. A backlight control method may also be used to modify the display luminance in accordance with an ambient light intensity measurement. When applied to low dynamic range image files the use of the image display method can reduce the appearance of compression noise artefacts such as haloing at the edges of objects. The method also involves detecting the presence of compression noise artefacts in the image data and applying the tone mapping such that haloing at object edges in image data is reduced. The detection method may simply involve determining the data format used for the image file.
