Title: Generating a composite image by clustering pixel values according to distance measures
Inventor: BRASNETT PAUL
IPC: G06T3/40
Filed: 2013-01-31
Abstract: Several image sources are combined into a single output image or video sequence. This may be part of a video de-interlacing system (see figure 1). For a given pixel of the output image, pixel values are received from the image sources, and a matrix of distance measures between the pixel values (e.g. based on their colours) is computed 1045. Clusters of pixel values are formed using the distance measures, and a score determined for each one of the clusters is selected according to the scores, and used to derive an output pixel value 370. The clusters may be formed using an iterative process where the closest pairs of pixel values or clusters are merged to form new clusters up to a size threshold. The clusters may be scored based on model-based weighting or cluster size. A rule-based cluster selection system may be used. A composite image generator may be used to implement the technique.

Title: System and method for facilitating the lending of digital content using contacts lists
Inventor: WELINGKAR BHARAT
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2011-10-03
Abstract: A system and method for lending digital content in which a user employs her contacts list to lend and borrow the digital content. The lender initiates the lending process using her local device by generating a lending offer. The lending offer contains an identification of the lender, an identification of the contact and an identification of the digital content to be lent. The server processes the lending offer from the lender and generates a lending offer email/notification. The lending offer email/notification is sent to the potential lendee. The lending offer email contains a lending offer ID and an encrypted security hash code that uniquely identifies the lending offer. The potential lendee can click on the URL contained in the email or respond the lending offer notification to accept the loan. The server processes this acceptance by the lendee and transfers the loaned copy of the digital content to the lendee.

Title: Conversion of video frame rate
Inventor: THOMSON RODERICK MACKENZIE
IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 2013-08-30
Abstract: This is a video frame rate converter that uses a new method to combine the interpolation and synchronization techniques. The input frames are fed into a read frame block 2, which is controlled by an output phase accumulator block 1, which also inputs to the anchor frame detector 4. The input video sequence is divided into successive groups of N consecutive frames, and the motion over the frames of each group is analysed to provide a group motion measure. The system then chooses between the motion compensated interpolator 8 or the synchronising converter 9. When the interpolation mode is selected, it performs interpolation on the group to provide M output frames. When the synchronization mode is selected it identifies from the group frames that are to be deleted or repeated to provide M output frames. The groups of frames are then assembled to form an output video sequence that has an output frame rate that is different from the input frame rate.

Patent GB-2526143-A (GB)
Title: Control system and method
Inventor: KELLY JAMES
IPC: B60W30/14
Filed: 2014-05-16
Abstract: Automotive speed control system (cruise control) automatically supplying torque to maintain first target speed (user_set_speed). A second target speed (override_set_speed) greater than the first target speed can be set according to a driver demand signal (pedal_tq_rq) corresponding to accelerator pedal displacement. The system will automatically accelerate from first target speed (user_set_speed) to second target speed (override_set_speed) at a rate below maximum acceleration. Pre-determined speed / acceleration profiles, possibly dependent on vehicle parameter(s) / driving mode, may govern acceleration rate. Driving mode may be user selected, or automatically chosen according to driving surface. Detected wheel slip may influence torque application. Vehicle may accelerate when driver demand torque (pedal_tq_rq) is greater than first target speed torque (LSP_tq_rq). Expected acceleration due to driver demand may be calculated, and integrated to continuously determine second target speed (override_set_speed). Second target speed (override_set_speed) may gradually drop to first target speed (user_set_speed) when requested torque (pedal_tq_rq) falls below first target speed torque (LSP_tq_rq). First target speed (user_set_speed) may be reduced according to parameters (e.g. steering angle, road gradient / slope).

Title: Method and apparatus for restricting radio access to a system
Inventor: PANPALIYA SATYANARAYAN R
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2013-04-03
Abstract: A first subscriber unit (SU) operating in a two-way radio frequency (RF) communications system having at least one fixed terminal, one or more channels, and a plurality of subscriber units, generates a first burst of data for transmission to the at least one fixed terminal. The first SU calculates a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) or checksum value over (i) at least a first portion of the first burst of data and (ii) at least a portion of a first private data. The first SU transmits the first burst of data and the calculated CRC/checksum value, but not the first private data, to the at least one fixed terminal. The fixed terminal then calculates its own CRC/checksum over the received burst and its own copy of the first private data, and compares the result with the received CRC/checksum. The fixed terminal authenticates the received burst if the values match.
