Patent GB-2510343-A (GB)
Title: Tracking system
Inventor: JENNINGS DAVID CHARLES
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-01-30
Abstract: A system for tracking a user accessing an internet resource that comprises an encoder arranged to generate an encoded URL comprising information related to a user ID which may be MSISDN, email address, user name or customer ID number, with the encoded URL pointing to a tracking server. The encoded URL is sent to a client device of the user which receives an indication from the user that they wish to visit the encoded URL and sends a request to the tracking server. On receipt of the request from the client device, the tracking server obtains information related to the user ID from the encoded URL and redirects the browser of the client device to a URL corresponding to the predetermined resource. This tracking method requires no prior knowledge of the user apart from the user ID and can track the user across different client device, browsers or internet connection type, location and address.

Title: Transmitter and method of transmitting
Inventor: ATUNGSIRI SAMUEL ASANGBENG
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2013-03-28
Abstract: An frame structure for an OFDM system (eg. DVB) includes preamble and payload symbols (Fig. 5). The preamble symbols include overhead signalling. In order to achieve frame detection/synchronisation a signature sequence 208 is added 212 to each of the sub-carriers of the OFDM symbol 200-204. The sum of the two signals is then inverse Fourier transformed 214 and transmitted 218. The two signals may be power scaled 206/210 to maintain constant signal power. The signature sequence may be an m-sequence, a Gold code or a CAZAC sequence. Detection of the signature sequence may use matched filters. The preamble symbol may also include pilot symbols on some sub-carriers for coarse frequency offset detection/correction (Fig. 17). The number of pilot symbols may be selected to be insufficient for channel impulse response estimation.

Title: Failover of a session to a replicated container
Inventor: HASERODT KURT H
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2013-06-21
Abstract: A first message is received at a primary container 120A that is replicated by a secondary container 120B. The first message is an initial message to initiate a first session (e.g. SIP INVITE). The first message is processed by an application 121A in the primary container. At a point in time, the primary container is unavailable and the system detectd that the primary container is unavailable. A second message associated with the first session is received e.g. by front-end processor 130. The second message is modified by moving at least a portion of a header in the second message into a different header in the second message and adding an additional header to the second message in response to the primary container being unavailable. The second message may then be sent to the second container, for example, for processing by the application 121B, 122B instead of to the unavailable first container. The modified message may be used to restore a state of the application in the secondary container using a correlation identifier that identifies the re-established first session. The messages may be Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages. The SIP To field may also be modified in the second message. In an alternate embodiment a SIP PUBLISH message is sent in response to the primary container being unavailable. The arrangement provides failover of a session to a replicated container.

Title: Compensating for power supply noise in an NMR magnet system
Inventor: KASTEN ARNE
IPC: G01R33/3875
Filed: 2013-08-29
Abstract: A magnet system for NMR comprises a first superconducting magnet coil 1 and a coaxial second superconducting magnet coil 2 to correct the effects of power supply noise on the main magnetic field. In operation, the second magnet coil is short-circuited in a superconducting persistent mode by a superconducting switch 9. The second coil inductively couples to the first coil, inducing currents in it corresponding to the noise in the power supply 4 to the first coil. This produces a correcting field in the sample volume that cancels the effects of power supply fluctuations. A further magnet coil 7 may be provided, in a part 7d of which a current of opposite direction may flow to provide shielding for stray fields. In this way, a highly stable magnetic field can be generated even if a drifting superconductor or drifting joints are used.

Title: Digital video and data transmission
Inventor: DICKENS NIGEL ANTHONY
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2013-08-29
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for transmitting digital video data (e.g. HDMI or DVI) and auxiliary data over a four twisted wire pair cable (e.g. CATx, such as CAT5-7), and systems using such apparatus, are described. A first, second and third digital video colour signal and a digital video timing (clock) signal are transmitted using differential mode signalling over a first, second, third and fourth twisted wire pair 312-318 of a cable. Auxiliary (e.g. HDCP) data is sent over a data channel using common mode signalling, e.g. to provide a USB data channel, over a first pair of the four twisted wire pairs of the cable. Common mode chokes 324, 328 etc (wired in antiphase) can be used to add or remove signals sent using the common mode signalling from a pair of wires also used to transmit one of the digital video colour or digital video timing signals. A power signal may be sent using common mode signalling. A capacitive element can provide AC coupling. Auxiliary data may relate to display attributes such as whether a cable is connected, whether power is on or on standby, or if a selected port is being used.

Title: Detection of electrical device by unintentionally radiated RF signal
Inventor: GEAR BEN
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 2014-05-13
Abstract: A method of detecting an electrical device searches for an RF signal containing sidebands that is emitted from the electrical device. The RF signal is a continuous wave signal that has a known carrier frequency, e.g. from a local oscillator within the device, and a sideband at a known frequency offset from the carrier frequency, e.g. due to the power supply frequency of the device. The method comprises receiving an RF signal; downconverting the received RF signal to a baseband signal, according to the known carrier frequency; squaring the baseband signal; calculating a frequency spectrum of the squared baseband signal; and checking the frequency spectrum for a peak corresponding to the known frequency offset. The RF signal may be unintentionally emitted from the electrical device even when it is not intentionally transmitting. The frequency spectrum may be calculated by a Fourier transform.
