Title: Transmitting and receiving a still image
Inventor: REES OWAIN HUW
IPC: H04N7/08
Filed: 2008-04-23
Abstract: In a method for transmitting and receiving an image for display by a thin client, a parameter of a formatted image signal is used either as an indicator as to whether or not the image signal should be displayed by the thin client (1 in fig.1) receiving the signal, and/or as an indicator of the position in which the image signal is to be displayed as part of a composite display of multiple image signals by the thin client. The parameter may dictate that an image is not to be displayed when this represents no change over a preceding image signal, and this image signal may be reduced in size before sending by a web server (2 in fig.1). Simulated moving images can therefore be generated with lower latency and bandwidth. The parameter may comprise height and width image properties.

Title: Antifuse programming, protection, and sensing device
Inventor: WICH MATHEW T
IPC: G11C17/18
Filed: 2006-10-17
Abstract: An antifuse programming, protection, and sensing device incorporates a control circuit (150) to program and protect an antifuse (MFUSE). The antifuse, which is initially constructed as a low conductivity path, is programmable to a high conductivity path by application (at INPUT 134) of an elevated voltage across terminals (105) of the antifuse. Application of 0 volts to the VDD node (115) of a conduction control portion of the antifuse programming, protection, and sensing device allows an elevated voltage for programming to be applied to the antifuse. Upon application of a nominal working voltage to the VDD node of the conduction control circuitry, the antifuse and an adjoining sense amplifier circuit (130) are protected from overvoltage and tampering. The sense amplifier supplies a sense current to the antifuse, measures a voltage at an input to the antifuse, and determines (at OUTPUT 110) a programmed state if a measured voltage level is low.

Title: Hair collection roller
Inventor: YOO DONG-HUN
IPC: A47L9/02
Filed: 2008-09-23
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner nozzle unit 310 has a hair-collection unit 320 containing a hair collection roller 330. When the nozzle body 310 moves in a first direction, opposite to the direction of arrow A, the hair collection roller 330 does not rotate. When the nozzle 310 body moves in second direction, in the direction of arrow A, the hair collection roller 330 rotates. In this manner, projections 331 on the roller 330 may hook hairs on the back stroke of the nozzle. On the forward stroke, the roller 303 rotates to carry the haul away from the floor and present them closer to the vacuum aperture in the nozzle. A system of two axially mounted ratchets may provide the desired motion capability of the roller 330.

Title: Provision of a network service
Inventor: EDWARDS JOHN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2009-09-23
Abstract: Sharing information between computer networks in which the information to be shared is required at one location (e.g. for the provision of a data-processing service) but is only available at a separate location. The information may be deliberately absent (e.g. for privacy reasons) or may be unavailable as an artefact of the computer network(s) involved. For the provision of a data-processing service, where several different devices on one network may service contiguous requests from a client device on another network according to a load-balancing strategy, data is propagated through the service network. To minimise costs in processing time and network bandwidth data is propagated once only, preferably in an encrypted form. Network communication software is subsequently amended to provide the minimal information necessary for a device on the service network to retrieve the information pertinent to the client device and necessary for the provision of its service. Such invention thereby provides a facility for web-based single sign-on schemes operating over HTTP to authorize data-processing services, including HTTP data-processing services such as web-filtering services.
