Abstract: A method for generating a recommendation is provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving at least one of a negative and positive example from one or more other users; and determining a recommendation for a user based on at least one of the negative and positive examples. The method can further include the step of generating a user profile for the user based on previous behavior of the user, in which case the determining step can include determining the recommendation based on the negative example and the user profile. The determining step can also include the step of determining the recommendation based on both of the negative and positive examples.

Abstract: An association engine for organizing content items in a logical database is provided. First description data including dimension data for a first identified content item in the database is extracted (S1). This process may be repeated for additional available identified content items (S3). Candidate description data is extracted (S5). Then, a set of vector values for each candidate content item may be generated (S11), each vector value representing a degree of similarity between the dimension data for a dimension, for example, metadata, usage history, genre, content type, of the first description data and the corresponding dimension data of the candidate description data. A similar candidate content item from the candidate content items may be selected (S15) based on the degrees of similarity represented by the generated set of vector values, and grouped (S16) with the first content item in the organization of the logical database.

Abstract: A television system is provided which includes a display screen connected to or integrally formed with a broadcast data receiver (BDR). The BDR receives data from a broadcaster at a remote location and decodes the data to form video, audio and/or auxiliary data. At least part of the decoded data is used to generate first and second windows (4, 6, 8, 20, 22) on the display screen and one or more of the windows contain user selectable options. Upon user selection of a particular option (24) from the first window, at least a part of the first or second windows (4, 6, 8, 20, 22) are reconfigured, such that the at least part of the first window covers or disables a remaining part of the first window and/or a part or whole of the at least second window.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling the operation of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with respect to a SAW filter (6) within a broadcast data receiver (BDR) (104). Over time, it is found that during normal operation of the BDR (104), the SAW filter (6) is susceptible to frequency drift which can affect the operation of the BDR. In accordance with the invention, temperature readings are taken at various time intervals from within the BDR (104) to provide an indication of changes in temperature over time and, if the temperature does change in the BDR with time then the operating frequency of the VCO can be adjusted to a predefined frequency value which is appropriate for the temperature values measured. By adjusting the operating frequency of the VCO with changes in temperature, the drift of the SAW filter (6) can be compensated for, thereby ensuring the continued operation of the BDR (104) in the required manner.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种控制广播数据接收机（BDR）（104）内的SAW滤波器（6）的压控振荡器（VCO）的操作的方法。 随着时间的推移，发现在BDR（104）的正常操作期间，SAW滤波器（6）易受频率漂移的影响，这可能影响BDR的操作。 根据本发明，从BDR（104）内的各种时间间隔获取温度读数，以提供温度随时间变化的指示，并且如果温度随时间而在BDR中变化，则VCO的工作频率 可以调整到适合于测量的温度值的预定频率值。 通过随温度变化调节VCO的工作频率，可以补偿SAW滤波器（6）的漂移，从而确保BDR（104）以所需方式继续运行。

Abstract: The invention relates to a package and method of transportation for items of electrical apparatus. The items are required to be packaged for transport from the manufacturing location to a storage facility and then on to an end user. At the storage facility, preinstallation checks and procedures, also called staging, are performed on the items of apparatus including, in some instances the downloading of software and control features via electrical connection. The invention avoids the conventional need to remove the items of apparatus at the storage location for the performance of the checks and procedures by providing a package with selectively removable portions which, when removed, allow the required access to the components of the apparatus without needing to remove same from the package.
