Abstract: The ergonomic catheter bag quick release is an apparatus in the form of a catheter tubing grip shell for creating a secure connection between a catheter and a catheter collection bag comprising a rigid catheter sleeve having a lever along its length to enable a substantial reduction in strength required to create a positive locked gripping connection over said connection between a catheter and a catheter collection bag. It is a catheter tubing grip shell with an ergonomically shaped lever that enables elderly and strength weakened patients to be able to secure the connection between a catheter and a catheter collection bag with far less than normal adult grip strength. It can optionally be fitted with a compressible sleeve to enable the creation of a water-leak resistant connection between a catheter and a catheter collection bag.

Abstract: A method of creating an audio-video stream comprises multiplexing a video component, an audio component, a content reference identifier, and a semantic data packet containing information on the relationship between the video component and the content reference identifier. Apparatus for receiving the audio-video stream, and apparatus for transmitting the audio/video stream are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for automatically discovering web services comprises querying a known UDDI server address containing a list of web services, identifying from the list suitable web services, and automatically downloading at least one machine readable description of a web service. Apparatus for automatically discovering web services is also described, which comprises communicating means for querying a known UDDI server address containing a list of web services and identifying from the list suitable web services, the communicating means arranged to automatically download at least one machine readable description of a web service.

Abstract: A method for finding TV Anytime web services comprises querying a known address, obtaining a file from the known address, the file having a predefined structure, and parsing the file to obtain URLs for TV Anytime web services. A server system for supplying the file via a network comprises receiving means for receiving the query at the known address, and supplying means for supplying the file in response to the query.

Abstract: A method of creating an audio/video stream comprises multiplexing a video component, an audio component and a content reference identifier, the content reference identifier is associated with the video component and the audio component in an MPEG transport stream. Apparatus for transmitting and receiving the audio/video stream isalso described.
