Title: A System for monitoring resources
Inventor: BACH HARRY WILLIAM
IPC: G06Q50/06
Filed: 2014-01-28
Abstract: A base resource usage profile 34 and a surpassed resource usage profile 36 are determined for selected time periods, with the surpassed resource usage profile being an increased value over the base resource usage profile which varies with time. The utility resource(s) are monitored and first and second distinct alert signals are provided when usage reaches or goes beyond the respective profiles. The level of the surpassed resource usage profile is such that the second alert is not initiated when the utility usage exceeds normal or base usage by only a small amount or for a short period of time. A historical view of resource usage is also provided to identify alerted events and thus users are provided with the facility to simplify their utility consumption management in a straightforward way and thus take more responsibility for resource usage.

Title: Dosing module
Inventor: NATHAN JAMES PEACE
IPC: F01N3/20
Filed: 2015-12-21
Abstract: A dosing module 24 for an emissions abatement system comprises a body 10 with an outlet 71. In an unblocked condition, an armature 46 is moved by electrical means 50 between a first position where the outlet 71 is closed by the armature 46, and a second, open position where the armature 46 is spaced apart from the outlet 71. Application of electricity to the means 50 at a first level of energy causes the armature 46 to move from the first position to the second position. The dosing module further has a blocked condition, in which flow of a liquid through the outlet 71 is prevented, and application of electricity to the means 50 at a second level of energy causes the dosing module 24 to change to the unblocked condition. A spring 28 may bias the armature 46 towards the outlet 71 and the electrical means 50 may be a solenoid. The dosing module 24 is particularly suitable for injecting a reducing agent such as urea into the exhaust system (10, Fig. 1) of a vehicle. A method of operating a dosing module is also claimed.

Title: Operating a network node
Inventor: SALEM AMIN AL-DAMLUJI
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-10-12
Abstract: A network node 104 maintains a database of session description protocol (SDP) precondition preferences for downstream network elements 106. On receiving a session initiation protocol (SIP) message comprising SDP preconditions, the network node 104 alters, adds or removes SDP preconditions according to the preferences or capability of the downstream network element 106. To maintain the database, the network node forwards an unmodified SIP message. If an error message or accept message is received from the downstream network element 106, the database is updated with the unsupported or supported preconditions. A second SIP message with modified SDP preconditions is then sent to the downstream node 106. The method reduces the number of error messages and retries leading to lower network traffic.
