Patent number: 11973814Abstract: A method for delivering an audio and/or video content using adaptive streaming to a terminal, the audio and/or video content being segmented into data segments available in various representations with respective audio and/or video qualities, the representations being time-aligned per segment, the segments being further divided into chunks, a controller selects, from a set of candidate caching platforms, the caching platform to be used to deliver the audio and/or video content to the terminal, as a function of a minimum burst transfer duration compared with the chunk duration as defined by an origin server providing the audio and/or video content. The controller redirects the terminal to the selected platform for further delivery of the audio and/or video content in the form bursts of chunks in response to requests for segments.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: BROADPEAKInventors: Guillaume Bichot, Pierre-Jean Guery, Vincent Richard, Nicolas Le Scouarnec

Publication number: 20170137126Abstract: An obstacle avoidance system for a stabilized aerial vehicle and a method of controlling same are provided. Using low angular resolution obstacle proximity data, such as from low angular resolution obstacle detection sensors, when a determination is made that an operator command to a vehicle propulsion system will result in a collision, the system overrides the operator command and substitutes an avoidance speed command and avoidance heading, while maintaining operator situational awareness, in a manner that is transparent to the operator. In an implementation, examination of objects requires the obstacle avoidance system to allow the vehicle to get close to obstacles. A human-portable aerial vehicle according to an implementation can be used for building surveillance, route inspection, surveillance of windows/hallways/rooftops, power distribution towers, pipelines, bridges, buildings or close examination of suspect objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2014Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Franklin WONG, Pierre Richard BILODEAU

Patent number: 6004089Abstract: A process for forming an easy open lid comprising a central panel having a score strip with a score thereon, a crimping edge and a ring enabling the lid to be opened by perforation of the score. The score on the lid is formed from a metal lid outline supported by an anvil by displacing a punch of angle alpha thereover and causing an asymmetrical flow of metal between the punch and the anvil during the displacing. This reduces the risk of crack formation in the metal at the bottom portion of the score or beneath the score.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1997Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Impress Metal Packaging S.A.Inventors: Jean-Marc Legresy, Jean-Pierre Richard, Marc Langouet
