20090049483RECEIVERS FOR TELEVISION SIGNALS - A receiver for television signals is arranged to receive video signals comprising video data and information data. The receiver is arranged to respond to viewer operation of a control device. The receiver includes a processor for processing selected information data to convert the same into signals representative thereof for output to a television in combination with the video signals. The receiver is arranged to respond to the information data to output for display data derived from said image data and said information data and representing an inter-active image. The receiver is responsive to viewer manipulation of the control device to vary the interactive image and to establish a telecommunications link to a remote site for on-line interaction via the interactive image between the viewer and the remote site. The interactive image may form part of an interactive services interface comprising a broadcast entry level and plural broadcast interactive levels. The interactive services interface may comprise one or more on-line interactive levels entered from one of the broadcast interactive levels for establishing an on-line connection with a remote site.02-19-2009

20100271934METHOD AND APPARATUS TO ENABLE A HYBRID SYNCHRONOUS/ASYNCHRONOUS ROUTING PROTOCOL - A hybrid routing protocol may be provided. A disruption tolerant mechanism may be provided for analyzing a network, detecting a disruption between nodes of the network, and activating a disruption tolerance mechanism in response to the network disruption. The disruption tolerance mechanism may comprise designating a non-disrupted network node as a cache node and routing traffic addressed to the disrupted node to the cache node for storage. Once the disrupted network node recovers from the disruption, the cache node may deliver the stored traffic to the disrupted network node.10-28-2010

20110024411COMBINED HEATER AND CONVEYOR - A combined heating and conveyor apparatus for use in heating a bulk solid product, such as a food product, comprises a hollow channel member having a base that forms a conveying surface along which product is to be moved, the channel member having at least one entrance region and one discharge region, an actuator which in use causes the channel member to vibrate in a manner which tends to cause product introduced to the channel at the entrance region to move towards the discharge region; and characterised in that the channel member functions as a microwave frequency closed waveguide, and a source of microwave radiation is connected to the channel member in such a way that the microwave radiation propagates along the channel member and is substantially retained within the channel member whereby, in use, the energy in the microwaves can be at least partially absorbed by the product that passes along the channel.02-03-2011

20100268564AUTOMATIC SELF-OPTIMIZING QUEUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A queue management system for e.g. supermarket checkouts uses counting devices located at checkouts and optimally entrances/exits in conjunction with P.O.S. information to produce a schedule of how many checkouts are needed to avoid queue length exceeding preset limits. The system includes a dynamic learning system which can optimise calculated schedules on the basis of historical data.10-21-2010
