Title: Method and apparatus for distributing data
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2009-04-02
Abstract: A method of distributing a stream of data, such as video data, from a stream provider to one or more requesting nodes, comprises receiving a stream of time-sequential data content data from a stream provider (100, Figure 1), and allocating data content from the stream of data to both a first sequence of time-sequential data objects 316 and a second sequence of time-sequential data objects 318, the first and second sequences being allocated substantially the same data content - e.g. alternating data portions making up a complete stream - from the data stream. Timings of data objects in the first and second sequences are such that time boundaries between data objects in the first and second sequences are offset; finally, the method makes data objects in the first and second sequences available for distribution to one or more requesting nodes. Intermediate cache nodes (116, Figure 1) may be provided. Also claimed is a method for requesting and decoding such respective shifted, staggered or offset data streams, with data requests containing unique identifiers identifying first and second data objects.

Filed: 1984-08-21
Abstract: First and second moulded plastic structural components, respectively comprising a back rest portion (1) with integral front legs (3, 3) and a seat portion (2) with integral rear legs (4, 4), are connected for pivotal movement about a first horizontal axis (7) with the second structural component (2 and 4, 4) disposed between the front legs (3, 3) of the second structural component (2, 4 and 4). An inverted 'U'-shaped handle member (5 and 6, 6) has a cross-piece (5) and two side shafts (6, 6) respectively connected to opposite sides of the back rest member (2) for pivotal movement about a second parallel horizontal axis (8). Links (11) extend respectively between the rear legs (3, 3) and the side shafts (6, 6) for pivotal movement about third and fourth parallel horizontal axes (12 and 13). Stops (9) formed integrally in the sides of the back rest portion (1) and releasable hooks (10) are provided for holding the side shafts (6, 6) in a first position in which they extend away from the front legs (3).

Title: Hydraulically damped mounting device
IPC: F16F13/00
Filed: 1985-02-07
Abstract: A hydraulically damped mounting device has two bushes (1, 2) connected together by an elongate bar (3). Each bush (1, 2) has a housing (8,9) containing an anchor point (4, 5) connected to the housing (8, 9) by a resilient spring (6,7). Each spring (6, 7), and part of the corresponding housing (8, 9) defines a working chamber (11, 13) for hydraulic fluid, the working chambers being interconnected by a passageway (14) in the bar (3). The working chambers (11, 13) are positioned in the housings (8, 9) so that movement of the anchor points (4, 5) in opposing directions causes a decrease in size of one working chamber and an increase in size in the other. This change in size causes fluid movement through the passageway, and this exerts damping on the movement of the anchor points. Thus, when the device is connected between two objects with each anchor point (4, 5) connected to a corresponding one of the objects, relative vibration of the objects, and in particular torsional vibration may be damped.

Title: Method and apparatus for electrical signal coding
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1988-02-13
Abstract: In a method and apparatus for coding high quality digital audio signals, the signal is sampled at repeated intervals and the sample is filtered into a number of sub-bands, preferably four. The signal in each sub-band is coded by means of a linear prediction technique and each sub-band is quantized with a varying number of levels according to its signal variance. This enables the considerable spectral redundancy which occurs in music signals to be exploited, and this advantage is increased as compared with conventional systems as the signal spectrum becomes discontinuous and/or resonant which is a common occurrence with music.

Date May 29, 1992.An improved piston for a pouch dispenser is disclosed. The dispenser is adapted to contain a pouch of flowable material, and has a lid to keep the pouch within the dispenser and a piston which is adapted to move toward the lid and press against a first end of the pouch, and push the flowable material out of the pouch through a hole in the second end of the pouch. The piston has a peripheral lip extending towards the second end of the pouch. The peripheral lip extends for a length sufficient to cause the film from which the pouch is made to pleat in a direction transverse from which the pouch is made to pleat in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the dispenser when the material in the pouch is squeezed from the pouch by the pressing action of the piston. The lid and piston are adapted to allow the peripheral lip to nest with the lid and to prevent the pleats from hindering essentially all of the material from being squeezed out of the pouch.

Title: Axial locking device
IPC: F16B21/00
Filed: 1992-04-02
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB93/00674 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 27, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 27, 1995 PCT Filed Apr. 2, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/20357 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 14, 1993.An axial locking device has locking balls which engage in a groove in a male member to lock the male member to a female member. To effect locking, a first axial movement of the male member causes it to abut an end surface on a slider and pushes slider teeth against rotor teeth, and a return movement of the male member allows the slider and rotor to return, pushed by a spring. In this way, the rotor is caused to rotate and its internal cam surface moves the locking balls. To reduce the number of parts and simplify manufacture, retaining teeth are formed by U-shaped clips on the housing of the female member, and act to prevent rotation of the slider during its axial movement, and to prevent rotation of the rotor until the rotor teeth have cleared the retaining teeth, causing a click or snap action. During the return movement of the slider and rotor, the rotor teeth cam over the ends of the retaining teeth and continue to rotate the rotor in the same direction.

Title: Apparatus for,and method of,encoding a signal
IPC: G10L25/21
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: There is provided an apparatus and method for encoding a code signal particularly into an audio signal. Previously as a result of data compression protocol codes hidden into "sync periods" have been degraded or lost as a result of, for example, low pass filtering. Sometimes, during quiet intervals codes were audible. The invention overcomes the problem of encoding a code into an audio signal by sampling the audio signal in order to determine its energy content and embedding the code into a suitable portion of the audio signal so that the code is hidden within a sufficiently energetic portion of audio signal. The advantage is that code is never audible.
