  • Patent number: 11336948
    Abstract: A user may employ a user device (e.g., a television (TV) and a set-top box (STB)) to access a television system via a network. The television system may include one or more content servers (CSs) (e.g., a VOD server, an HTTP server, or other media server) for providing, among other things, a VOD service to the user and a broadcast transmission system for transmitting a multitude of linear television channels. Television system and/or user device is/are operable to enable the user to interact with an enhanced TV service (ETS) that allows the user to easily navigate among various different programmed linear channels (a.k.a., “streaming channels”) and VOD services. The ETS may be hosted in the television system, in user device, or in a combination of the two.

  • Patent number: 11092007
    Abstract: This application relates to method and apparatus for determining properties of a wellbore (201). The method involves attaching part of a sensing optical fibre (101) of a fibre optic cable (203) to a well casing (202) and inserting the well casing into the wellbore (201). The sensing fibre optic is connected to an interrogator unit (102) and distributed fibre optic sensing is performed on the sensing optical fibre as the well casing is being inserted into the wellbore to provide a measurement signal from each of a plurality of sensing portions of said sensing optical fibre. The measurement signal is indicative of disturbances affecting the sensing portions. A processor (107) analyses the measurement signals from sensing portions of the sensing optical fibre that has been inserted into the wellbore to determine wellbore properties.
