20100033141Generating system - Within generator systems maintenance of stability in terms of voltage is desirable. Generally, several generators will be arranged in parallel within the generator system with one generator voltage controlled to provide dynamic responsiveness to load switching. With regard to some loads which are generally of an active nature, the capacity of a first generator, which is voltage controlled, may be insufficient to adequately avoid transient voltage instability. By providing an actuator signal from a load to act as a pre-emptive or forward feed to an electrical current controlled generator, that second electrical current generator can be arranged to provide additional or reduced electrical current to avoid system voltage instability.02-11-2010
20100038969Method and system for electrical power generation - Electrical power generation systems typically comprise an electrical power distribution arrangement in which a number of electrical power generators are coupled in parallel. In such circumstances in order to avoid conflict generally a first electrical power generator is controlled with a voltage controller whilst second electrical power generators have electrical current controllers. As loads are switched into and out of the electrical distribution system in normal operation the first electrical power generator and its voltage controller can accommodate voltage dynamics and therefore maintain a desired voltage. However, in order to accommodate heavier loads switching, the dynamic operation of the electrical current controller is achieved through utilising operational voltage margins from a desired voltage as control signals to the electrical current controller. A threshold is provided above which the electrical voltage margin must operate and regimes are provided to determine continued increase or fall in the operational voltage to allow continued dynamic control of the electrical current in order that voltage stability can be re-established with regard to electrical power distribution arrangements.02-18-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120086854Digital Processing Disruption Systems - A method and apparatus are described for modifying an analogue video signal to impair its conversion to a digital signal by an analogue to digital converter. The resulting modified signal may prevent the operation of the analogue to digital converter altogether, or, even if a digital signal can be output and recorded, may result in a signal which is difficult to view due to a reduction in quality on playback. The modifications made to the signal include altering the amplitude of the horizontal synchronization pulses in the original signal, and/or modifying the level of the back porch, or the region of the signal adjacent the back porch. Additionally, methods are contemplated for the use of specific response models for target analogue to digital converters, and display devices.04-12-2012

20100111180Scene change detection - There is provided a method and apparatus for scene change detection for use with bit-rate control of a video compression system. The method and apparatus may be used for scene change detection in intra-coded and/or inter-coded pictures. The method comprises the steps of: compressing each picture in a video signal in turn; determining complexity data from the compressed signal for each picture after partial compression of the picture; determining from the complexity data whether a scene change may have taken place; and adjusting the compression step and allocated compressed bit number for pictures after a scene change detection in dependence on the result of the determination. For an intra-coded picture, the complexity data is a monotonically increasing function of a quantisation parameter and a compressed bit number used in the compression step for the partial compression from which the complexity data is determined. For an inter-coded picture, the complexity data is determined from a combination of a) the change of temporal prediction difference in relation to the average prediction difference of previous inter-coded pictures, b) the intra-coded macroblock number in the current inter-coded picture in relation to the average intra-coded macroblock number in previous inter-coded pictures, and c) the intra-coded macroblock number in the current inter-coded picture in relation to the total encoded macroblock number in the current inter-coded picture.05-06-2010
