Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090075648MOBILE PHONE NETWORK OPTIMISATION SYSTEMS - We describe a system to optimize performance of a mobile phone network towards a performance goal. The system receives performance data comprising aggregated data for a plurality of calls and commissions measurement data comprising data logged for a plurality of mobile phones, and outputs data for changing a configuration of said network. The system includes a performance monitoring system; a measurement data request system, wherein measurement data is selectively commissioned in response said performance mismatch; a measurement data analysis system to analyze the commissioned measurement data to determine a probable cause of said mismatch, and to provide analysis data identifying the probable cause; and an action determination system to receive said analysis data and to output action data dependent on the analysis data, the action data identifying one or more configuration changes to be made to the mobile phone network to reduce the mismatch.03-19-2009

20100071276ARTICULATING POST FOR A TOPLESS AND BOTTOMLESS GLASS POST SYSTEM - Vertical edges of sheets of glass are held within elongate cylindrical gaskets which are journalled length-wise into and along vertical channels formed within the sides of a vertical post. The channels are semi-circular in horizontal cross section and are sized for a snug mating fit with the gaskets. The gaskets have vertical slots for supporting the edges of the glass. A sheet of glass supported in a slot in the gasket may pivot relative to the post, for example by up to approximately forty-five degrees about its vertical axis of rotation. Thus the vertical channels and gaskets form a vertical hinge by the gaskets, which mounted on the vertical edge of the sheet of glass, having a snug rotatable fit within the corresponding channel.03-25-2010

20090039902METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETECTING A CAPACITANCE USING SIGMA-DELTA MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES - Methods, systems and devices are described for detecting a measurable capacitance using sigma-delta measurement techniques. According to various embodiments, a voltage is applied to the measurable capacitance using a first switch. The measurable capacitance is allowed to share charge with a passive network. If the charge on the passive network is past a threshold value, then the charge on the passive network is changed by a known amount for a sufficient number of repetitions until the measurable capacitance can be detected. Such a detection scheme may be readily implemented using conventional components, and can be particularly useful in sensing the position of a finger, stylus or other object with respect to a button, slider, touchpad or other input sensor.02-12-2009
20090174416METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETECTING A CAPACITANCE USING SWITCHED CHARGE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES - Methods, systems and devices are described for detecting a measurable capacitance using charge transfer techniques. According to various embodiments, a charge transfer process is performed for two or more times. During the charge transfer process, a pre-determined voltage is applied to the measurable capacitance, and the measurable capacitance is then allowed to share charge with a filter capacitance through a passive impedance that remains coupled to both the measurable capacitance and to the filter capacitance throughout the charge transfer process. The value of the measurable capacitance can then be determined as a function of a representation of a charge on the filter capacitance and the number of times that the charge transfer process was performed. Such a detection scheme may be readily implemented using conventional components, and can be particularly useful in sensing the position of a finger, stylus or other object with respect to an input sensor.07-09-2009

20100212336CONTROL SYSTEM - The present invention provides a control system for controlling the ice volume fraction of a circulating ice-containing medium. The control system comprises a freezer apparatus for generating an ice-containing medium, a pump for circulating the ice-containing medium through a flow circuit comprising an outward line, a main line and a return line, and a bypass line connecting the outward line and return line to form a bypass circuit. In use, the time taken for circulating ice-containing medium to pass through the bypass circuit is less than the time taken for circulating ice-containing medium to pass through the flow circuit. The present invention also provides a method for controlling the ice volume fraction of a circulating ice-containing medium using such a control system.08-26-2010

20110276500Processing a request for an IP right - A system and process for filing a request with an administrative body, the system having a communications interface and a server connectable to a data communications network. A primary module of the server is able to receive data about an IP right from a user. This data is then used by a data gateway to access information on the IP right. A verification module verifies the ability to validly file the request based on the information accessed by the data gateway. The primary module is operatively coupled to a communications module. The communications module is able to send a message via the communications interface to file the request with the administrative body. The communications module is also able to receive electronic acknowledgement via the communications interface in response to the message sent. The primary module is able to issue a notification to the user confirming the filing of the request.11-10-2011

20120102089Server and Process for Producing an IP Application Exchange Data Set - A process for producing an IP application exchange data set for a given party in relation to a jurisdiction using a database containing records of destination IP applications and records of source IP applications. Each destination IP application is associated with a source IP and each record identifies the party that filed the IP application and jurisdiction in which the IP application was filed. A data set generation module generates an IP application exchange data set for a given party in relation to a jurisdiction. The case exchange data set contains two lists of parties. The first list consists of parties that have filed at least one destination IP application in the jurisdiction for which the associated source IP application was filed by the given party. The second list consists of parties that have filed at least one source IP application in the jurisdiction for which an associated destination IP application was filed by the given party. The data set generation module is adapted to produce the total number of IP applications filed by each party in the first and second lists. An output module is provided to send the case exchange data set to a recipient via a data communications network.04-26-2012
