Abstract: The invention relates to a method for testing pipes (1) in a non-destructive manner with the aid of a dispersion flow, said pipes being made of ferromagnetic steel. According to the invention, the pipe which is displaced in the longitudinal direction and, optionally, rotated is magnetised by a continuous field and the produced magnetic flow is transmitted in a contactless manner to the pipe. Projections (4, 4') which are located in the areas close to the surface of the external and internal surfaces of the pipes provoke magnetic dispersion flows which exit the surface of the pipe and can be detected by sensors (2, 2'). Ampltitudes, preferably the horizontal field components of the magnetic flow, which can alter in the vertical direction are detected at a distance close to the surface of the external surface of the pipe and at a distance therefrom. The detected signals are determined in relation to each other. The invention also relates to the device for carrying out said method.

Title: Method and system for synchronising bookmarks
Inventor: GILHULY BARRY
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2007-10-18
Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronising bookmarks between communications devices are provided. Bookmarks refer to user--defined and nicknamed URLs as local parameters in Browser software, also sometimes known as "Favourites". Real-time synchronisation of bookmarks is accomplished through an application of "push technology". Upon identifying a change in the set of bookmarks of a communications device, the communications device transmits an indication of the change to the network. The network uses push technology to push the indication to the other communications device. Once the indication is received by the other communications device, the other communications device updates its set of bookmarks according to the indication thereby achieving synchronisation.  Synchronisation may be performed between two or more devices.
