Title: Travel pillow with earpieces
Inventor: NAYYER RAJEEV
IPC: A47C7/38
Filed: 2012-09-19
Abstract: A travel pillow comprises a neck pillow and two earpieces. The neck pillow has a central support portion and two lateral support portions fits around the neck of a user such that, in use, the lateral support portions are positioned either side of the user's neck. Each earpiece can be independently moved from a first configuration in which the earpiece protrudes from its respective lateral support portion so that it can engage with an ear of a user to a second configuration in which the earpiece does not engage with the ear of a user. In the first configuration the earpiece reduces the level of noise that the user can hear and in the second a user can hear normally whilst wearing the travel pillow. Preferably the earpieces are provided with loudspeakers or earphones that can be connected to an audio source. The travel pillow may have a cover, which may be washable, have a storage pocket and may have an integral bag for the storage of the travel pillow when it is not in use.

Title: Resetting a periodic location registration timer when a user equipment transitions between radio access technologies
Inventor: NIEMI MARKO TAPANI
IPC: H04W60/02
Filed: 2012-11-05
Abstract: When user equipment UE transitions between a cell in a first radio access technology to a cell in a second radio access technology, at the transition (206, figure 2) a timer for controlling when the UE is to send a periodic location registration is reset (204, figure 2; 304, figure 3). This avoids the UE being implicitly detached when it is unable/blocked in the packet-switched PS domain from performing a routing area update RAU but would be able to perform a location update LU, particularly when the UE is in PS/CS modes 1 or 2. Five different embodiments are detailed: the LU timer T3212 is reset with a value of time remaining in a tracking area update TAU timer T3412 (306); T3212 is reset with an initial value for T3212 (310); the RAU timer T3312 is reset with a value of time remaining in the TAU timer T3412 (312); and the T3212 or T3312 reset is conditional on a value of time remaining in a PS back-off timer T3346 exceeding the value of time remaining in the TAU T3412 (308) and (314). The first radio access technology is E-UTRAN, the second radio access technology is UTRAN or GERAN.

Title: Testing software by generating pseudorandom control signals
Inventor: HALL GILES THOMAS
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2013-03-28
Abstract: A verification apparatus 30 is for testing a device or system 39, including software, which is operable in a number of states through which it can transition in a multiplicity of different sequences. The apparatus includes a set of functional modules (82a-112a) which correspond to the states of the device or system under test 39 and which may be activated in a large number of deterministic pseudorandom sequences. Each time a module of the verification apparatus is activated it causes the device or system under test to transition to the corresponding state. Thus, when the functional modules of the verification apparatus are activated in a given sequence, the corresponding states of the device or system under test are called in the same sequence. Generating a series of pseudorandom control signals has the advantage that exactly the same series can be regenerated by starting from the same seed. The device under test may be a cell phone or a simulation thereof. Alternatively, the software tested may be for the control of an automobile engine or for graphics generation.

Title: Venturi heat exchanger for power plant condenser
Inventor: CORBISHLEY JAMES
IPC: F01K25/00
Filed: 2013-04-29
Abstract: A condenser for a thermal power plant uses a gas 3 flowing through a restricted passage to lower its pressure and temperature due to the venturi effect. The reduced temperature gas extracts an increased amount of heat from the working fluid. When the cooling gas recovers its pressure and temperature in the divergent section 5, it can itself drive a turbine 7. The cooling fluid may be oxygen derived from electrolysis and stored under hydrostatic pressure, possibly in a disused mine 9. The (heated) oxygen and hydrogen may be supplied to a gas turbine engine of the thermal power plant (figure 3).

Title: Activation of glass as a molecular sieve adsorber for water filtration and desalination
Inventor: DRYDEN HOWARD THOMAS
IPC: C02F1/72
Filed: 2013-12-30
Abstract: The invention relates to the manufacture of an activated filter media for the mechanical filtration of water, catalytic oxidation and selective molecular sieve adsorption reactions. The activated filter media is manufactured from glass or an alumino-silicate in a three-stage activation process. The activation process includes a first acidic stage, a second alkali stage and a third stage involving thermal exposure at 1200 degrees centigrade until the product has less than 0.1% moisture. The chemical structure of the activated filter media can alter the structural configuration of water in intimate contact with the media and repel all ions. Consequently, the filter media can therefore desalinate water. The activated filter media can be used for the removal of arsenic from water. Further, the activated filter media can be utilised for the removal of ferric, manganese and chromium. The activated filter media can replace sand in all types of sand filter.

IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2012-09-25
Abstract: A new group call request is received from a subscriber station at a rest channel repeater at a first network location. Corresponding new group call notifications are then transmitted to each of the other network locations over a wide area network to a current one of the repeaters acting as a rest channel repeater at each of the other network locations. Subsequently, an identity of a traffic channel repeater that will be hosting the new call is received from each of the respective other network locations.

Title: A method of pre-emptively regenerating a lean NOx trap
Inventor: JIM BROMHAM
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2014-11-05
Abstract: This invention purges an NOx trap pre-emptively to avoid NOx slippage. It does this by monitoring a vehicles routes 215, then using that historical data to predict when NOx slippage will occur 220. If NOx is likely to escape or be released, it will then predict the engines future load, and work out if there will be a favourable opportunity for it to purge or regenerate the NOx trap, or LNT 230. It can also measure other engine factors, such as exhaust temperature, drops in air/fuel ratio and high or low engine speed, and use this information to calculate the probability of NOx slippage.
