Title: Shock Sensor
Inventor: MARK GREGORY PITTS
IPC: G08B29/22
Filed: 2016-08-24
Abstract: A shock sensor comprising a transducer to generate a signal indicative of a vibration caused by an intruder and a processor to receive the signal. The processor is configured to have at least two selectable modes, each with a different sensitivity, with one mode having a lower sensitivity and the other having a higher sensitivity.

Title: Multi-copy data transmission with rate adaptation
Inventor: MICKAËL LORGEOUX
IPC: H04W40/12
Filed: 2016-10-28
Abstract: In a communication system 100, at least one full copy of a set of data packets is transmitted from a source device 101 to a sink device 102 via at least two routes RT. Each route comprises at least one wireless path, and the capacity of each route to transmit the data is determined based on the transmission conditions of these paths. Where a selection of routes can each only offer part of the required capacity, a single full copy of the data packets is distributed amongst them for complementary transmission. The system is directed for use in wireless multi-hop networks which use the 60 GHz bandwidth. Each route may have a transmission budget, which relates to its share of the overall time available to transmit data over the network. A selection of routes may be chosen for multi-path, multi-copy data transmission, the selection depending on the number of wired and wireless paths in each route, and considerations about spatial diversity.

Title: A device, computer program and method
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN WILLIAMS
IPC: H04N21/2365
Filed: 2016-11-11
Abstract: The invention relates to an encoding device and associated method for sending a composite image to another device over a network. Content, which is synchronized and destined to be received at the device simultaneously, is received from a plurality of different sources and scaled so that it creates a composite or mosaicked image. The mosaicked image is then formed from the scaled content sent to the device over the network. The method can be used to combine live content from, for example a sports event, into a single image, 600. This could include images from the stadium camera 1080, a ball camera, 720, a dressing room camera, 720, broadcast video, 720, and video of individual players, 1080. Timestamps from the individual content can be used to ensure that the composite image is only created using content that is occurring at the same time. Also disclosed is a device and method for receiving a composite image over a network and outputting it to a user.
