IPC: H04N21/433
Filed: 2011-08-25
Abstract: A method for facilitating remote downloading includes receiving, at a home media gateway associated with at least a first endpoint, a remote download request generated by a web browser running on the first endpoint 310. The remote download request is relayed to the home media gateway via at least one component of a wireless service provider's network. The wireless service provider provides user authentication for the remote download request. The remote download request includes an address associated with at least one file hosted by a remote server. The method also includes downloading the at least one file from the remote server to the home media gateway 340. The method further includes, upon detecting a presence of the first endpoint 350, uploading the at least one file from the home media gateway to the endpoint 360.

Title: Method for sealing off discharge of oil etc. caused by breakage of steel pipe etc. of undersea oil well
Inventor: OHTA RYOZO
IPC: E21B29/00
Filed: 2011-08-23
Abstract: [Problem] To provide a method for sealing off oil discharged from a broken undersea steel pipe for pumping crude oil or natural gas. [Solution] Provided is a method for sealing off discharge of oil or the like, wherein when an undersea steel pipe (4) of an oil well or a natural gas well is broken, magnetic grains (21) are fed deep into the sea through an insertion pipe (6) suspended inside the steel pipe (4). Therefore, the discharge of oil or the like from a lower part of the insertion pipe (6) is sealed off by a gate valve (20) that is provided at a lower part of an apparatus (12) for feeding magnetic grains or the like, the apparatus being attached to a pipe upper opening (7). Thereafter, pressured water is introduced into a storage chamber (14) for magnetic grain or the like in the feeding apparatus (12) to wash down the magnetic grains (21) or the like inside the chamber into the insertion pipe (6), and further down to the lower end of the insertion pipe (6). Furthermore, the magnetic grains are caused to adhere to the inner surface of the steel pipe (4) by a magnetic force to form aggregates, thereby suppressing the discharge of oil or natural gas and enabling subsequent introduction of mortar or concrete (27).

Title: Localising transportable apparatus
Inventor: BALDWIN IAN ALAN
IPC: G01S17/875
Filed: 2012-04-02
Abstract: A method of localising transportable apparatus (200) within an environment includes receiving (402) data obtained from a first ranging sensor device (202) that is configured to collect information relating to a 2D representation of an environment (301) through which the transportable device is moving. Further data is received (404), that data being obtained from a second ranging sensor device (204) of the transportable apparatus configured to collect information relating to at least a surface (218) over which the transportable apparatus is moving. The ranging sensor device data is used (406) to estimate linear and rotational velocities of the transportable apparatus and the estimates are used (408) to generate a new 3D point cloud (212) of the environment. The method seeks to match (412) the new 3D point cloud with, or within, existing 3D point cloud (216) in order to localise the transportable apparatus with respect to the existing point cloud. The first and second ranging devices may be LIDAR devices.

IPC: B04B5/04
Filed: 2013-04-24
Abstract: A centrifuge comprises a casing (2, fig 1) and a rotor (1) mounted on a bearing (4) for rotation inside the casing. Inside a circumferential wall (12) of a bowl of the rotor (1) there are arranged in an axial sequence: a settlement zone where fluid can collect, an annular weir (13) projecting radially inwards, and an escape zone (14) where fluid can flow out of the bowl. The escape zone may comprise a set of holes (15) through the wall (12) in the base of an annular gulley (14). The bowl of the rotor rotates in a chamber of the casing and an annular seal (5) between the rotor and the casing divides the chamber into two parts (17, 18, fig 3) to prevent fluid from reaching the bearing (4). Air ducts (19, fig 3) may connect the two parts of the chamber to equalize the pressure between them.

IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2013-04-25
Abstract: An item of plaintext (205) is encrypted using a block chaining cipher, where the plaintext is divided into blocks (2051-N) and each block is encrypted into a ciphertext block (2101-N) using the same encryption key. The first ciphertext block (2101) is encrypted using an initialisation vector (IV, 215), and each subsequent block is encrypted using a combination of the preceding plaintext and ciphertext blocks in place of the IV. The first ciphertext block may then be stored privately whilst the remaining ciphertext blocks are stored at different cloud locations. Decryption of the blocks (fig.2D, not shown) cannot be done without knowledge of the IV, even if all of the blocks and the encryption key are obtained.

Title: Free flowing stannous chloride
Inventor: CROSSLEY DAVID CHRISTOPHER
IPC: C01G19/06
Filed: 2013-07-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising primarily stannous chloride, the composition being free flowing in the solid-state and being a particulate form of stannous chloride in which particles comprising a stannous chloride core are coated with a layer comprising stannous oxide and optionally stannous hydroxy chloride, stannic oxide, metastannic acid and metastannate of stannous oxide or mixtures thereof.

Patent GB-2521349-A (GB)
Title: Data encoding and decoding
Inventor: SHARMAN KARL JAMES
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 2013-12-05
Abstract: An array of input image data having a data precision of n bits is encoded and subsequently decoded. The encoding comprises compressing (1500) (e.g. rounding, bit shift, mapping function) the input n-bit image data values to a data precision lower than n bits. The compressed values are frequency-transformed (1510) to generate an array of frequency transformed coefficients by a matrix multiplication process, according to a maximum dynamic range of the transform process and using transform matrices having a data precision lower than n bits. The resulting image coefficients are then decompressed (1520) (e.g. bit shifted, mapping function applied) to a data precision of n bits. The precision of the data is therefore reduced before frequency transformation, the resulting image coefficients being restored to the increased precision. Transformation does not have to be done at such high precision, thereby reducing hardware complexity in some systems where the highest accuracy is either not required or not possible.
