Abstract: A live broadcast is depicted, in this case a golf tournament. The broadcast is depicted on a television screen of a user, substantially in real time. In a television studio, which may be close to the site of the live broadcast, or may be remote therefrom, a commentator or pundit records segments of video analysis. The video image is sent to a server. The video clip of the commentator is then downloadable by the user using a device such as a mobile phone or tablet. The user can then view the additional content—the video segment of the commentator—on his device. Using the techniques of positioning and anchoring as described herein, the user can enjoy the video segment as though the commentator were present in the room, by viewing the room through a camera of the device.

Abstract: A method of providing an augmented reality image comprises recording a basic image including a subject and a first background using a recording device, extracting a subject image from the basic image, and providing the extracted subject image to a display device for combining with a second background. At A the sending person using the app to record a moving image of their own head—ie a video—which is separated from the background by the app (the background being automatically discarded). The image is then sent to a recipient who, at B, sees the head speak to them either on their desktop or in the camera view of the smart phone/tablet if they so choose.

Abstract: An augmented reality experience is provided to a user of a hand held device, such as a mobile phone, which incorporates an electronic processor, a camera and a display. In particular, images taken from video footage are displayed in a display of a hand held device together with a live camera view, to create the illusion that the subject of the video—ie the virtual moving image—is present in the field of view of the camera in real time. In this context the term “real world” image means an image taken from reality, such as a physical, real-world scenario using an electronic photo-capture technique, e.g. video recording. A camera 10 of a hand held device is aimed at a well-known object 12, which is recognisable to the device. A moving virtual image 14 of an actor playing the part of an historical figure, chosen because of its relevance to the object 12, is displayed.

Abstract: Spray apparatus of the kind having a liquid feed line connecting a supply of spray liquid and at least one spray nozzle, a return line from the spray nozzle to the supply and a pump for moving spray liquid from the supply to the at least one spray nozzle and for returning spray liquid from the at least one spray nozzle to the supply when the liquid is not being sprayed, characterised in that the liquid return line serves as at least a portion of the feed line when spraying.

Abstract: Substantially linear olefin polymers having a melt flow ratio, I10/I2, ?5.63, a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, defined by the equation: Mw/Mn?(I10/I2)?4.63, and a critical shear stress at onset of gross melt fracture of greater than about 4×106 dyne/cm2 and their method of manufacture are disclosed. The substantially linear olefin polymers preferably have at least about 0.01 long chain branches/1000 carbons and a molecular weight distribution from about 1.5 to about 2.5. The new polymers have improved processability over conventional olefin polymers and are useful in producing fabricated articles such as fibers, films, and molded parts.

The invention comprises a closed loop circulating system having a pump with an inlet and an outlet, a loop line connecting the pump inlet and outlet, a spray nozzle connected to the loop line downstream of the pump via a spray line, a spray liquid inlet connected to the loop line upstream of the pump, a chemical injection system connected to the loop line upstream of the pump and downstream of the spray liquid inlet, a venturi device, a return line, an agitation line, and a valve device in the spray line, reversing liquid flowing to the spray nozzle through the agitation line past the spray nozzle and through the return line.

Abstract: A ground attitude control apparatus is provided for maintaining a constant boom attitude when traveling over uneven ground. A boom for supporting crop-spraying equipment is pivotally mounted on and extending either side of a carrier for movement about a substantially horizontal first pivot axis. A levelling member is pivotally mounted on the boom for movement about a substantially horizontal second pivot axis. At least one damper is connected between the levelling member and the boom and exerts a damping effort on the boom. A linkage is pivotally connected to both the levelling member and the carrier. The linkage is disposed to control the damping effort to cause the boom to rotate at a desired angular velocity in response to rotation of the carrier.

Abstract: Agricultural crop spraying apparatus comprising a spray boom made from a space-frame of members comprising laterally and vertically spaced longitudinally extending members joined at intervals by traverse cross-members, with the spray nozzles disposed within the boom framework for protection characterized in that the cross-members of the spray boom frame are positioned above the lowest extremity of the boom framework to allow the spray nozzles to be disposed below the cross-members while still positioning the nozzles within the boom and to allow uninterrupted longitudinal positioning of the spray nozzles. Preferably, the cross-section of the boom is substantially triangular so that the sections of the folded boom arms interfit one with the other. Hinges joining the section of the boom preferably have inclined pivot axes such that the height reached by the boom extremities during folding is less than the arms pivot vertically.

Abstract: Agricultural or horticultural spray apparatus of the kind comprising a holding tank having a liquid to be sprayed, at least one spray nozzle, a pump for moving liquid from the tank and for causing the liquid to be sprayed from the nozzle, and a return line from the nozzle to the tank, characterized in that the return line is provided between the pump and the spray nozzle, and characterized by a venturi device for causing a depression in the return line to cause liquid to flow from the nozzle to the tank. The apparatus includes a line from the tank to each nozzle through which liquid is drawn when a depression is applied to the return line.
