Title: A Safe Gas Torch Arrangement for Connection to a Mains Gas Supply
Inventor: WYLLIE JOHN SCOTT
IPC: F23D14/38
Filed: 2012-09-25
Abstract: A safe gas torch unit for connection to a mains gas supply 16 has a piezo-igniting torch head, an associated hose (7 fig 2), a means to control the flow of gas 12, and a means for connecting the unit to the mains gas supply 16. The means to control the flow of gas is fluidly connected to the torch head by the associated hose, and in use the means to control the flow of gas is fluidly connected using the connecting means to the mains gas supply. The means to connect to the mains gas supply may include a bayonet valve connection 14, 15, and the means to control the flow of gas may be a valve operable by a thermocouple having a tip heated at the torch head. The hose may include the connection between the thermocouple and the valve.

Title: Selection and display of previously aired television programs obtained from multiple different sources
Inventor: LONDERO MARK
IPC: H04H60/72
Filed: 2012-11-02
Abstract: An apparatus for selecting television programmes for display on a television (1), includes a receiver (36) for receiving audio/video data representing the television programmes and a schedule for the television programmes. The schedule includes television programmes which are due to be aired and also those which have previously been broadcast, along with an indication that the programmes can be received by selectively streaming it from one or more servers (12). A control processor (34) generates signals representing the schedule for display on the television, for example in the form of an Electronic Program Guide (EPG), so that a user may select the television programmes for display or for recording via a remote control (160). The control process determines whether one of the television programmes which has already been broadcast is unavailable to be selectively streamed and if so identifies alternative sources of the programme. The displayed program schedule then includes an indication of the alternatives, which may include pay-per-view and Internet streaming options, for selection by a user. If a programme is unavailable the schedule may display similar television programmes that may be of interest to the user.

Patent GB-2532915-A (GB)
Title: Tow cable
Inventor: DAVID JOHN LYE
IPC: D07B1/14
Filed: 2014-08-14
Abstract: A towed decoy cable, for deployment from an aircraft, has a relatively low frictional coefficient core (e.g. a thermotropic LCP) surrounded by a relatively high fibre frictional coefficient outer sheath (e.g. a lyotropic liquid crystal polymer outer braid). The high friction outer sheath is compatible with a deployment mechanism controlling the deployment of the decoy from the aircraft. The core may have electrical conductors and optical fibres for operation of the towed decoy. The low friction internal fibres provide the high endurance strength members needed. Gradual degradation due to fiber fracture or fretting (e.g. cable breaking caused by fibre on fibre damage) is reduced, leading to a longer cable life. The core may have interwoven fibres of Vectan (RTM) and the outer sheath may be Kevlar (RTM).

Title: Mid-infrared hydrate inhibitor sensor
Inventor: JONES TIMOTHY
IPC: G01N21/3577
Filed: 2014-09-15
Abstract: A sensor for monitoring a hydrate inhibitor dissolved in a liquid. The sensor includes an internal reflection window 4 for contacting with the liquid. The sensor further includes a mid-infrared light source 1 directing a beam of mid-infrared radiation into the window to provide for attenuated internal reflection at an interface between the window and the liquid. The internally reflected mid-infrared beam is passed through a narrow bandpass filter 5 which preferentially transmits mid-infrared radiation over a band of wavelengths corresponding to an absorbance peak of the dissolved hydrate inhibitor to filter internally reflected mid-infrared radiation received from the window. The intensity of the reflected mid-infrared beam transmitted through the filter is measured and used to determine an amount of hydrate inhibitor ion the liquid. A second narrow bandpass filter 5 may be provided to transmit radiation over a band of wavelengths corresponding to a reference portion of the absorbance spectrum of the liquid. The hydrate inhibitor may comprise methanol, ethanol, monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone or polyvinylcaprolactam.

Filed: 2014-10-02
Abstract: A method is disclosed for obtaining a media presentation (e.g. image, video, audio) as a seed (initial, starting) media (e.g. image); and obtaining one or more criteria for content extraction. Information relating to media presentations among a set of media presentations is examined to find out relevance information regarding the context and/or content of the media presentations using the seed / anchor media and the one or more criteria. On the basis of the examination, one or more media presentations among the set corresponding with the one or more criteria are extracted. Extraction criteria may include: visual or non-visual objects of interest in seed media / image; relevance with a social network or previous object of interest (user) preferences; position in three dimensional space of capture device 132; or object appearance frequency. Extracted media, for example captured at a same event as seed media, may be combined 148 into a synthesised (combined: Figures 12a-12f) scene 150. The selected media may be of higher quality than seed media. The pose of an image capture device may be compared with the pose of seed media, with matching. The method may be applied to a panoramic recording system (PRS).
