Title: Distributing Information Display
Inventor: DRAZIN JONATHAN
IPC: H04N21/41
Filed: 2012-12-18
Abstract: A network-connected master device (14) (e.g. smartphone, tablet) is able to discover slave display devices (13) (e.g. TV, STB) coupled to the network and is further able to upload items of primary information including a link to secondary information across the network. The device includes a screen representing the items to a user (63) and provides a user input which upon receiving a selection of one of the items causes the display of the selection on the discovered display(s) using the link. Slaves may acquire keys from servers across the Internet for multiple applications located on the master. During a session a master displays primary information to a user who selects an item of secondary information for display by the slave, whereupon the master sends a command and a link to the item to the slave for display and sharing with multiple viewers.

Title: Multifunctional Key Design For Metal Seal In Subsea Applications
Inventor: DOMMATI THIRUPATHI
IPC: E21B33/04
Filed: 2013-01-16
Abstract: A wellbore sealing assembly, particularly for sealing between a casing hanger 104 and a wellhead housing 100, includes a sealing ring 110, an energizing ring 146, and a key 120 for engaging the sealing ring with the energizing ring. As seen in fig 2 the key 120 has a body 122, a guide member 128, and a shearble retainer stud 134. The key body 122 is located in an aperture 118 in a sidewall of the sealing ring. The guide member 128 and retainer stud 134 protrudes into a guide slot 148 and a recess of the energizing ring. Downward force on the energizing ring shears retainer stud 134 while the guide member 128 travels in the guide slot preventing rotation of the energizing ring relative to the scaling ring. The guide member also aids seal retrieval by locking against the bottom of the slot 148 in the energizing ring.

Title: Improvements in load release means for telescopic props
Inventor: PAPADOPOULOS DEMETRIOS GEORGIOU
IPC: E04G25/06
Filed: 2013-04-12
Abstract: A load release means for a telescopic prop includes an inner member 24 that is threadably engaged by a striking collar 13. A locking mechanism, such as a retention collar 20, releasably secures the striking collar on the inner member. The interface between the threads of the inner member and striking collar is configured such that when an applied load (V, fig 2), i.e. the load supported by the prop, acts on the thread, the component force (S, fig 2) acting along the helix angle of the thread provides the torque required to shift the strike collar. The locking mechanism may be a retention collar that prevents free rotation of the striking collar until desired.

Title: Caching of content
Inventor: HARRISON DECLAN
IPC: H04N21/231
Filed: 2013-05-01
Abstract: A user device 3 requests 100 a video file and in response the proxy server 5 obtains 102-108 the videos manifest file from the cache 7 or the server 9 and then forwards 110,112 the retrieved manifest file. Upon request 114 from a client device 3 for a first segment of the streamed file, the proxy server 5 seeks the first segment in the cache 7 and if the first segment is not stored there it is obtained 120,122 from the server 9. The segment is forwarded 124 to the client device 3. The proxy server decides, for example by assessing if the retrieved segment is a popularly downloaded segment, whether also to store 126 the retrieved segment in the cache 7.Â In response to caching of the segment the controller (7b, figure 1) of the cache 7 obtains and stores further segments of the stream, or segments of variants of the stream having higher or lower quality. The stored segments are then available from the cache if they are subsequently requested by the user device 3 or another user device.Â The client may be aÂ mobile phone and the proxy server may be part of a wireless service provider network.Â

Title: Improvements in dielectrics
Inventor: BROWN MATTHEW ADRIAN
IPC: B29C48/305
Filed: 2013-07-12
Abstract: A process of making a continuous freeform thermoplastic dielectric film that is evenly loaded with dispersed nanoparticles comprises the steps of; feeding thermoplastic granules into an extruder, injecting a secondary feed comprising a suspension of nanoparticles in a liquid carrier to create a nanocomposite, and extruding said composite onto cooled rollers at a preset rate thereby enabling the crystalline structure of the nanocomposite film to be controlled wherein the secondary feed is mixed continuously by an ultrasonicator whilst being injected into the extruder. By selecting the size of the nano particles based on their de Broglie wavelength in the crystalline polymer the dielectric can be produced in bulk to make high capacitance high energy density storage capacitors. The thermoplastic may be polystyrene, polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate. The nanoparticles may be titanium dioxide. Additionally a second particle feed (for example silver) may be added.

Title: Structure of a stapling device
Inventor: CHEN TON-I
IPC: B25C5/11
Filed: 2013-12-31
Abstract: A stapling device comprises two casing members 10, a pad seat 20, a striker plate 30 and a spring plate 35. The casing members, which are joined together, have front ends respectively forming front-end plates abutting each other. A press-down handle 17 is rotatably coupled to the two casing members. The pad seat is set at the front end of the interior of the two joined casing members. In use, the press-down handle may be pushed towards the device, whereby the striker plate is pulled by the press-down handle to move upward. This upward movement of the striker plate causes the attached spring plate to elastically deform and so provide a striking pre-loading force to the striker plate. The stapling device may include a flexible pad made of a rubberized material, mounted on the top of the pad seat in order to provide a cushioning effect. A pressure adjustment member (fig 1, 40, 41) may be arranged on the top of two casing members to provide a fulcrum to the spring plate, the adjustment of said member varies the striking pre-loading force.

Title: Stack pointer value prediction
Inventor: JACKSON HUGH
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2014-01-17
Abstract: A method, performed in a load-store unit (412) in a processor (400), predicts stack pointer values for a stack in the processor, the stack having an associated stack pointer. In response to detecting a change in the stack pointer 502, the register ID of a physical register storing a value of the stack pointer and the value of the stack pointer 508 are both stored. The physical register ID and the value of the stack pointer are both stored prior to the detected change or immediately following the change, preferably in a stack pointer cache maintained by the load-store unit. In response to receiving an instruction to load/store using a physical register corresponding to a stored register ID, an address for the load/store is calculated using the stored value of the stack pointer associated with the stored register ID. Other embodiments include storing information including a size parameter indicating how much a stack is grown and one or both of the register ID currently holding the stack pointer value and the current stack pointer value.

IPC: A23B4/09
Filed: 2011-06-07
Abstract: A process is described for reducing the number of viable microorganisms, particularly Campylobacter species, present on the surface of meat, especially poultry. The process comprises the steps of rapidly cooling the surface membrane of a contaminated meat item to a given temperature, preferably between -5 and 2Â°C, and allowing the membrane to warm to a second temperature higher than the first temperature and preferably below 4Â°C. The process is sufficient to reduce the number of viable bacteria, whilst at the same time retaining in the muscle meat the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of fresh meat as monitored by the level of Î²-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH) activity in the muscle tissue. The cooling may be achieved by exposure to a cryogen.
