Inventor: TAKAHASHI TOMOHIKO
IPC: H04N5/272
Filed: 2011-06-17
Abstract: A method of providing a video content formed of a plurality of successive video frames is disclosed. The method includes: extracting a visual feature from an image of each of subject frames which are all or some of the plurality of video frames; and selecting one of a plurality of candidate overlay insertion regions as a final overlay insertion region A3, based on distances of the plurality of candidate overlay insertion regions from the extracted feature, e.g. selecting the one most distant D3 from the extracted feature C5. The candidate overlay insertion regions are pre-assigned on each of the subject frames at different positions for allowing an additional content as a content overlay to be overlaid on the subject frames for display. Feature extraction may be by facial recognition, motion recognition, energy level of ac high-frequency discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients, or luminance/saturation.

Title: Balancing valve
Inventor: TUNG PING-JUNG
IPC: F16K11/07
Filed: 2011-11-29
Abstract: A scald-proof balancing valve is associated with a dual-temperature ceramic valve 10 and comprises a fixed pipe 20 and spool 30. First 21 and second 22 ports of the fixed pipe 20 are set opposite to first 12 and second 13 lateral end walls of a housing (101, Fig. 2). The spool may slide in the fixed pipe 20, and hot 33 and cold 34 water slots of the spool are separated by a partition 35. A hot water stop flange 40 protrudes from the first lateral end wall 12 and cooperates with a first end of the spool to block off hot water flow when the spool shifts towards the first lateral end wall 12. A stop 50 protrudes from the second lateral end wall 13 and cooperates with a second end of the spool to create a minimum cold water flow gap between the second end of the spool and the second lateral end wall 13, allowing constant water flow through the cold water slot 34 of the spool. When the dual-temperature ceramic valve 10 is switched to full hot water mode, the balancing valve blocks off hot water flow to prevent scalding. When the dual-temperature ceramic valve 10 is switched to full cold water mode, the balancing valve enables constant water flow to maintain normal cold water supply.

Title: Determining a parameter of an optical fibre using a pump light source of an amplifier
Inventor: MCCLEAN IAN PETER
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 2012-06-29
Abstract: This invention makes use of a pump laser assembly of an optical amplifier, such as a Raman amplifier, in determining a parameter of an optical fibre. The parameter is preferably chromatic dispersion of the fibre, or length of the fibre. The pump light source assembly 106, 108 is configured to transmit light at a plurality of wavelengths into the optical fibre. This may be achieved by using multiple lasers of different wavelengths, or by using at least one tuneable laser. A receiver 112 receives light that has propagated through at least part of the optical fibre and a processor 114 determines the parameter of the optical fibre based on the received light. In one embodiment (Fig. 3) the receiver and pump laser assembly are located at the same end of the fibre in a reflectometry configuration; optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) may be used. In alternative embodiments (e.g. Fig. 1) the pump laser assembly and the receiver are located at opposite ends of the fibre to be measured, at master and slave nodes respectively. The slave node may send a raw data signal to the master node in response to receiving a signal from the master node (Fig. 8). Such an arrangement is particularly useful when determining fibre length through time-of-flight measurements. Alternatively, the parameter of the optical fibre may be determined at the slave node and the determined parameter returned to the master node (Fig. 10).

Title: Secure gateway for payments other transactions involving sensitive information
Inventor: ROSS CAMERON PETER SUTHERLAND
IPC: G06Q20/34
Filed: 2014-03-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a gateway for providing point to point encryption (P2PEG) for the communication of sensitive data for card-present transactions from a card reading device to a transaction processing system using a communication network. The sensitive data for a transaction is encrypted at the card reading device such that said encrypted transaction data is transmitted from the card reading device through a merchant environment towards said transaction processing system. The encrypted transaction data is redirected via said P2PEG 3.9, wherein the P2PEG comprises a secure decryption module (SDM) for accessing a decryption key for decrypting the encrypted transaction data. Responsive to the receipt of the encrypted transaction data at the P2PEG, the SDM is configured to decrypt the encrypted transaction data such that the decrypted transaction with the sensitive data is transmitted to the transaction processing system via the communication network. A subsystem is also provided which further utilises a secure interface device and tokens to avoid encrypted data passing through a merchant environment. The gateway of the present invention is capable of providing P2PE for a payment transaction system without requiring any significant changes to be made to an existing transaction processing system, such as an existing Payment Service Provider (PSP) system.

Title: Improvements relating to handling resource allocation instructions
Inventor: DOUGLAS STEWART
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2014-08-08
Abstract: A system (50) comprising a processor receives request messages (54) relating to resource handling execution instructions (558a&b), each message having parameters specifying at least a resource, an action type to be carried out on the resource, an associated quantity and a plurality of execution constraints. The processor creates a current target instruction from each request message (92, 94), the instruction adopting the associated plurality of constraints and being assigned a custody type associated with an action and a quantity parameter. A matching engine matches the current target instruction with any one of a plurality of previously-created external execution instructions which have not been fully executed, using the constraints and category (96). A versioning engine creates a new version of an existing non-fully executed external execution instruction for any such existing non-fully executed external matched instruction by recalling the previously created matched external execution instruction from an external processing location, determines the amount instruction which has been executed and record a result of the determination in a data record. The engine then aggregates the remaining unexecuted portion of the previously-created execution instruction with the current execution instruction to form a new version of the previously-created external execution instruction (100).
