Abstract: A vehicle system receives a search request, such as from a remote server or other vehicle. The system, responsive to the search request, searches for one or more device signals using one or more sensors of the vehicle. Further, the system records any device signatures associated with any device signals detected by the search and transmits the device signatures to a remote server. The remote server may take further action, such as, but not limited to, alerting the authorities, disabling a vehicle or vehicle system, and/or notifying a vehicle owner, based on processing the received signatures.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus (2) operates in a first mode of operation having a first set of processing circuitry (8, 12, 18, 20, 22) ready to perform processing operations and in a second mode of operation having a second set of processing circuitry (8, 12, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24) ready to perform processing operations. A first proper subset (32) of program instructions within the instruction set supported are processed by the processor using a selectable one of the first mode and the second mode. A second proper subset (34) of program instructions within the instruction set are required to be processed by the processor operating in the second mode. Processing circuitry (14, 24) which is inactive in a mode of operation may be placed into a low power state.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus for handling objects. The apparatus comprises a carrying device (104) that is configured to move along a track (102). A handling device (224) is adapted to hold an object (108) and is mounted to the carrying device (104) such that it is rotatable with respect to the carrying device about a handling axis (226). A drive device (310) is disposed at a position along the track (102) and configured to produce a torque around a drive axis. The carrying device (104) can be moved along the track (102) in a direction perpendicular to the drive axis into and out of a drive position. In the drive position, the handling axis (226) of the handling device (224) is in substantial alignment with the drive axis of the drive device (310) whereupon the drive device induces a torque in the handling device (224) causing the handling device to rotate, thereby causing the object (108) held by the handling device to rotate.

Abstract: A respiratory humidification system humidifies a flow of respiratory gases supplied to a user. The system can include a main housing that receives a humidification chamber, a heating plate included in the main housing and positioned to contact the humidified chamber and transfer heat to the humidifier chamber, and a heating element that provides heat to the heating plate. The heating element can include a temperature sensor disposed in a central region of the heating element. Disposing the temperature sensor in the central region can reduce a likelihood that conductors of the heating element will cause an incorrect temperature measurement by the temperature sensor.

Abstract: A method is provided of processing a primary video stream to which an overlay may be applied, for display by a head mountable display. The method includes identifying one or more suitable regions in the primary video stream for the display of overlay content. A suitable region is a region detected to lack one or more first predetermined features or to include one or more second predetermined features. The method also includes generating metadata indicative of a location and a depth of the suitable regions for the display of the overlay content, and that defines how a change in the detected orientation of the head mountable display, by which the primary video stream is displayed, changes the display of the overlay content. The method further includes providing the metadata in association with the primary video stream.

Abstract: Images stored in an information repository are prepared for browsing. For each image in the repository, text in the repository is mined to extract snippets of text about the image which are semantically relevant to the image, and for each of these snippets of text, keyterms are detected in the snippet of text which represent either concepts that are related to the image or entities that are related to the image, and the snippet of text and keyterms are associated with the image. Each keyterm that is associated with each image in the repository is hyperlinked to each other image in the repository that has this keyterm associated therewith. A graphical user interface allows a user to browse the images in the repository by using their associated snippets of text and hyperlinked keyterms.
