20110061095 | Secure Web Based Transactions - Methods of securely performing online transactions are described which involve two independently controlled web servers. In order to complete a transaction, a user interacts concurrently with each of the two web servers and authentication may occur between the user and each web server and between web servers. Each of the two web servers provide data which is used to complete the transaction and the data provided by the first web server is communicated directly to the second web server for use in the transaction. In an embodiment, the first web server provides a web page which enables a user to specify a variable which is used in the transaction. This is communicated to the second web server which processes the transaction along with an identifier for the message. The identifier may be used in validating the variable before it is used in processing the transaction. Following completion of a transaction this may be reported in real time to the first web server. | 03-10-2011 |

20080304439 | Automatic Base Station Configuration - A basestation in a cellular communications network is configured such that it has a different Location Area Identification from other local basestations in the cellular network. This has the effect that a Location Area Update procedure is performed when a mobile device wishes to camp onto that basestation. The basestation is able to configure itself automatically, to ensure that its Location Area Identification differs from other local basestations. | 12-11-2008 |
20090017864 | Local area cellular basestation - A base station for a cellular wireless communications network has a first interface, enabling connection with a remote communications device using a cellular wireless communications protocol in the cellular wireless communications network. The base station also has a second interface, enabling connection over a wide area network, and a third interface, enabling connection over a local area network. Software enables communication over the wide area network between a remote communications device, connected to the first interface, and a core network of the cellular wireless communications network. Software can also enable the remote communications device to communicate with a device in the local area network, or with a server in the wide area network, without using the core network of the cellular wireless communications network. | 01-15-2009 |
