Title: Measurement of voltages using voltage attenuation and optical isolation
Inventor: CLAY PAUL
IPC: G01R15/14
Filed: 2011-04-27
Abstract: In a voltage measurement apparatus, unÂ­attenuated high voltages are connected to an attenuator 12, which feeds attenuated low voltage waveforms to a microprocessor-based analogue-digital converter and voltage measurement circuit 14. A representative digital voltage signal 16 and a synchronising signal 18 are then sent across an optical isolation barrier 20, and are output to metering circuits 22. The metering circuits 22 receive analogue current inputs 24 which are sampled in synchronism with the digital voltage signals for an accurate measurement of power. Safe outputs 26 are provided and only low voltages are present at the metering circuits 22, because the metering circuits are galvanically isolated from the high voltage system via the isolation barrier 20. The voltage measurement may be part of a power metering system for an electricity supply.

Title: Sequencing anchor points into communication session setup
Inventor: BRAUDES ROBERT E
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2011-05-19
Abstract: The concept of anchor points is introduced. Anchor points, and specifically Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) anchor points, serve as a media and call control point that is established on a per-user basis which can then be shared by any application. The use of an anchor point allows for applications to become aware of and control a communication late or cease monitoring and controlling a communication session early without disrupting the session or introducing a significant amount of control or media delay. The anchor point(s) are sequenced into the communication session during the application/feature sequencing which occurs when the communication session is setup and may be included for both the origination side and termination side of the session.

Title: Generation of personalised mosaic electronic program guide using multi-view video coding (MVC)
Inventor: FARKASH EYAL
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 2012-11-07
Abstract: A method for providing video data for a privately user-defined channel selection mosaic / electronic program guide (EPG) includes defining at least one base layer channel from among a group of video channels. The group of video channels includes candidate channels for selection as private mosaic preview channels. At least one other channel from among the group of channels is defined as an enhanced layer channel. At least one data block (e.g. 750B) in a depending frame 740B of the enhanced layer channel is defined as depending on at least one similar data block 750A in a base frame 740A of the base layer channel. Broadcast data from the group of video channels is encoded as an encoded group of video channels, where the at least one depending block 750B is encoded as a function of the at least one similar data block 750A. The encoded group of video channels is transmitted to at least one user, for whom receipt of the encoded group of channels enables decoding and assembly thereof into the privately defined channel selection mosaic. The method is performed using multi-view video compression (MVC) encoders 230. The selection of channels represented in the mosaic may be based upon analysis of viewing statistics, similarity of video data or manual input. Also disclosed is a method for displaying a personalised channel selection mosaic, a private mosaic generation system and a media broadcast player for displaying a mosaic program guide generated by the above method. The technique used takes advantage of the feature of MVC encoding in which a block of a 1st frame may be encoded as a function of a similar block in a 2nd frame, irrespective of whether the frames exhibit overall similarity or not.

Title: Dynamic valvular helix turbine
Inventor: Khan Peter
IPC: F01D1/36
Filed: 2012-12-30
Abstract: A turbine comprises a shaft 12 affixed around which is a wide flat helix 15, the inner edge 16 of the helix being contiguous with the outer surface of the shaft. The helix, like a screw thread, has a precise pitch, the distance between its turns being congruous throughout. The space between the turns of the helix is a helical conduit 18 allowing fluid to flow through. The aperture 14 at one endpoint of the helical conduit is blocked whereas the corresponding aperture at the opposite endpoint remains open, allowing fluid to exhaust. The turbine further comprises, extending to the outer periphery of the helix, a stratum 20 having the same height as the pitch 17 of the helix and comprising a series of valvular channels 19 through which fluid is admitted to the turbine, positioned tangentially to the circumference of the helix and precisely shaped to allow unidirectional inward flow. Two intertwined helices (31,32, fig.5) may be used. Longitudinal fins (33, fig.5) may be provided on the external surface of the turbine, eg in a wind turbine. When mounted vertically undersea, the turbine (81, fig.8) pumps water up to the surface for potential energy storage.
