Title: System and method for restricting access to a mobile communications network
Inventor: ANTHONY TIMSON
IPC: H04W48/04
Filed: 2017-09-11
Abstract: There is described a system for restricting access to a mobile communications network for mobile communication devices within a restricted area. The system comprises at least one transmitter operable to transmit a beacon signal for reception by mobile communication devices within the restricted area and an access control entity, communicable with the mobile communication device via a base station. The access control entity instructs a mobile communication device to perform at least one measurement in regard of the beacon signal from each transmitter and then to provide measurement data corresponding to said performed measurement to the access control entity. The access control entity then analyses the measurement data provided by the mobile communication device and based on that analysis decides whether or not to provide the mobile communication device with access to a service of the mobile communications network.

Title: Multizone crucible apparatus
Inventor: MICHAEL EDWARD RENDALL
IPC: H05B6/44
Filed: 2019-08-30
Abstract: A crucible apparatus 300 comprises a crucible 310 and one or more induction coils 330a, 330b arranged around the crucible. Upon application of electric power to the one or more induction coils, a first thermal zone 340 is generated in a first portion of the crucible and a second thermal zone 350 is generated in a second portion of the crucible, wherein a first thermal characteristic, such as temperature, of the first thermal zone is different from a second thermal characteristic of the second thermal zone. One or more temperature sensors 370a, 370b may be coupled to the crucible in order to measure thermal characteristics of the crucible. Measurement data obtained by the temperature sensors may be used to control the electric power applied to the induction coils to maintain the temperature of the thermal zones automatically, such that a substantially constant vapour flux of material 320 to be heated may be achieved. Thermal insulation 380 may be arranged between the crucible and the coils to protect the coils from heat from the crucible. The crucible apparatus may be used as an evaporative deposition source for relatively thick layers or films in the manufacture of energy storage devices, such as solid-state cells.
