Title: Call diversion arrangement
Inventor: JONES JOSEPH
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A call diversion arrangement allows a user portability of mobile phone numbers between different mobile phone networks. When a subscriber wishes to change from an original mobile telephone network to a new network, a "freephone" link is established between the two networks and calls to the subscribers number are diverted by the original network to the "freephone" number. The new network includes means for discriminating calls made to the freephone number and further diverts these calls to a temporary number assigned to the transferring subscriber's new handset operating on the new network. The same freephone number may be used for all calls to be diverted. The redirected calls include data which identifies the handset of the original network in order for the new network to direct the call to the assigned temporary number.

Title: Attitude control system for a spacecraft
Inventor: HOLT ANTONY PHILIP
IPC: B64G1/36
Filed: 2000-03-07
Abstract: The inertial momentum vector of the spacecraft is calculated by unit 9 based at least on an estimate of spacecraft momentum in three axes from model 10 and sensed momentum 11 from three axis reaction means such as orthogonal reaction wheels. The vector is updated with the output 15 from a star tracker, eg a sun sensor, if this output is available and is used to control the reaction means to correct the attitude of the spacecraft. Other inputs to the process are the demand torque 12 when the attitude is desired to be changed and from disturbance torque model 13 and attitude drift estimate 14. Unit 9 preferably includes a Kalman filter.

Title: Proximity indication
Inventor: KANODIA RAVI
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2000-06-19
Abstract: A mobile telecommunications device is used to notify a user of their proximity to a shop, event, person or other retailer outlet. User details are stored in a user database and retailer details including location are stored in a retailer database. A user leaves a notification request by accessing the retailer's web site and inputting notification criteria such as number of notifications, distance when notified and times of notification. The notification request is sent to a notification service. The position of the user is monitored using standard location detection techniques and correlated with the position of retailers or other parties for whom the user has placed a notification request. When the user is within the distance of the retailer or other party specified in the notification request the notification service provider sends a proximity message to the user. Alternatively intelligent household appliances such as a fridge can automatically send notification to a retailer of a product that needs replacing. The user is then notified when that they require a certain product when they are within range of a store selling the product.

Title: Paintball feed system
Inventor: RICE JOHN RONALD
IPC: F41B11/52
Filed: 2002-01-15
Abstract: A paintball feed system 10 comprises flexible detent/catch beams 32a,b that flex about first and second support points 33,34 such that they allow a paintball 22a to pass from a hopper 18 into a feed tube 12 leading to a paintball marker's breech 16 under it's own weight when flexing about the first support point 33. The beams 32a,b are rigid enough, when flexing about the second support pint 34, to prevent the return of the paintball 22a back into the hopper 18 from the feed tube 12. A cylindrical collar (38, Fig 4) comprising a cylindrical inner lip (39) at its midpoint, complete with detent beams (40a,b) and support points (42,44) can be fitted between marker feed tube (48) and hopper (50). The collar (54, Fig 5), may also be threadably engaged with an annular sleeve (58). Alternatively the exit opening (69, Fig 6) may comprise detent beams (72a,b) and may be connected to marker feed tube (76). In Fig 8, the hopper (78) having an exit tube (81) with detent beams (79a,b) is threadably connected to marker feed tube (84) via sleeve portion (82). In all cases, as paintballs exit the hopper, they effectively stack in the distance between the breech floor (52, 64, 86) and the detent beams (40a,b, 56a,b, 72a,b and 79a,b).

Title: Coordinated consumption of a streamed media object by multiple devices
Inventor: HULL RICHARD
IPC: H04W4/021
Filed: 2002-10-07
Abstract: A media object is streamed from a server to a first device and presented to a user of this device. Data identifying the media object and a current position reached in presenting the object to the user of the first device are sent from the first device to a second device. In response to a request from the second device, the media object is streamed from the server to the second device in a separate stream to that involving the first device and is presented to the user of the second device such that normal presentation commences at a position at, or with an advance relative to, the current position of presentation to the user of the first device. This means that the users of the first and second devices can experience the media object in a coordinated way. An embodiment given is that of members of a party visiting a space with which media objects are associated, and being able to share the experience of the media objects in a synchronous way on separate mobile devices.
