Title: Popularising music items
Inventor: POLK JON
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2012-02-17
Abstract: An online social community uses lists maintained by each community member, with corresponding community consensus charts reflecting the tabulation of the individual member charts weighted to reflect each member's status and rating as a tastemaker 200 or follower 804. The status and ratings will be calculated to reflect (a) the individual member's history and timeliness in identifying and/or following artists or music within the community results; and (b) the individual member's history and value of influencing other members of the community to adopt their choices. The items typically relate to music such as tracks, albums and artists.

Title: Fraturing and gravel packing tool with upper annulus isolation in a reverse position wihtout closing a wash pipe value
Inventor: CLEM NICHOLAS J
IPC: E21B43/04
Filed: 2010-08-25
Abstract: A fracturing and gravel packing tool has features that prevent well swabbing when the tool is picked up with respect to a set isolation packer. An upper or jet valve allows switching between the squeeze and circulation positions without risk of closing the wash pipe valve. The wash pipe valve can only be closed with multiple movements in opposed direction that occur after a predetermined force is held for a finite time to allow movement that arms the wash pipe valve. The jet valve can prevent fluid loss to the formation when being set down whether the crossover tool is supported on the packer or on the smart collet.

Title: Exchanging stored solar power between plural power supplies
Inventor: ICHIKAWA KUNIYOSHI
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2012-06-07
Abstract: A plurality of power-supply devices, in which power generated by solar energy is stored, are allowed to exchange power among themselves. Power generated by a solar panel 14 connected to a first power-supply device 30 is stored in a power storage section such as battery 16 and supplied externally. Power supplied by a second power supply device 30, which also has a power storage section 16 for storing power generated by a solar panel, is also stored in the power storage section of the first power supply device. Each power supply can have a solar panel 14 connected by socket 24 and a plug 26 connected to a charger 20 can be inserted into a socket 28 of another power supply for transfer of power between supplies. The power supplies can be portable and moved outdoors for charging and indoors for supplying power. Remaining power stored in a supply after providing power to an external device can be used to charge another power supply. The power supplies can be used to supply power for lighting of a concert stage set where unused power stored in a supply after one performance can be used to supplement power stored in another supply from a solar panel for the next performance.

Title: Identifying RF interference in a social alarm system
Inventor: BURNS CHRISTOPHER ANTHONY
IPC: G08B21/02
Filed: 2012-06-11
Abstract: Â A social alarm system (10,fig.1) monitors the safety and wellbeing of a person in their home or dwelling. The social alarm system includes a client unit 100. The client unit 100 includes an antenna 160 for receiving radio frequency signals from at least one or more peripheral devices 110,120, and unrecognised sources. A signal strength detector unit 130 measures a signal strength of the received RF signals to provide a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value. A blocking detector unit 140 is arranged to indentify RF interference based on the RSSI value from the signal strength detector unit. A controller 150 is arranged to report an RF interference incident based on the blocking detector identifying the RF interference. The peripheral devices 110,120 may comprise a remote personal trigger such as a pendant, or a sensor such as an occupancy sensor, fall detector, and/or environmental sensors. The social alarm system may be arranged to communicate with a remote monitoring centre in the event of an alarm being triggered. The invention is particularly suited to confirming the functionality of the system in the presence of RF interference.

Title: Estimating resource requirements for target Recovery Point Objective
Inventor: REDDY CHANDRA
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2012-09-21
Abstract: An amount of a resource, such as bandwidth, needed to successfully accomplish a target Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is estimated in a data processing environment giving two or more physical or virtual data processing machines with a failure tolerance. Time-stamped samples of a usage metric for the resource are taken over a usage period. These samples are later accessed and time aligned to determine an average usage metric at defined intervals. An expected tolerance for RPO failure allows determining a first assumed amount of the resource available to achieve a target RPO that is less than might otherwise be expected. These steps can be repeated for other expected replication failure tolerances to allow a risk versus resource available trade off analysis.

Title: Reducing latency in multiple unicast transmissions to multiple receivers
Inventor: FEATHER CLIVE DOUGLAS WOON
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2012-09-25
Abstract: A transmitter for transferring a data stream 401 to multiple receivers, the transmitter being configured to: sample a first portion 402 of the data stream to form a first sample dataset, encode 405 the first sample dataset to form a first encoded dataset and transmit 408 the first encoded dataset to a first one of the receivers; sample 403 a second portion of the data stream to form a second sample dataset, encode 406 the second sample dataset to form a second encoded dataset and transmit 409 the second encoded dataset to a second one of the receivers; and to perform at least part of the step of sampling 403 the second portion of the data stream whilst the first sample dataset is being encoded 405 or the first encoded dataset is being transmitted 408 to overall reduce the latency in multiple unicast transmissions to multiple receivers compared to prior art staggered transmissions (e.g. as shown in Figures 2a & 2b). In the main embodiment the sample datasets are overlapping segments of the same data stream. In an alternative embodiment the same simultaneous sampling is performed for the second dataset whilst the first dataset is being encoded or transmitted but it is performed on a second data stream destined for the second receiver. When more than one stream is being sampled they may be complementary streams such as separate audio and video streams for the same content.

Title: Adaptive data streaming method with push messages control
Inventor: FABLET YOUENN
IPC: H04N21/235
Filed: 2013-07-12
Abstract: When a client requests first media data from a server, the server identifies second media to be sent to the client without the additional media having been requested. In response to the request, the server transmits the first media data and at least one announcement message identifying the second media data. The server then makes ordering transmission proposals 701 defining the order of transmission for the second media data, for which client devices may make update requests 705 for matching their streaming constraints. Embodiments of the invention provide optimization in the data exchanges between servers and clients. May be used in Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) networks using Media Presentation Description (MDP) files.
