Title: Method of capturing carbon dioxide with cellulosic material
Inventor: HAMMOND PETER
IPC: B01D53/62
Filed: 2013-08-29
Abstract: A method of capturing carbon dioxide, the method comprises the steps of: providing a cellulosic material which carries an amino compound; and contacting the cellulosic material with a composition comprising carbon dioxide; wherein a portion of the heat energy produced is captured. Preferably the cellulosic material is a fibrous material and the amino compound is selected from alkylamines, alkanolamines and ammonia. The carbon dioxide may be derived from an exhaust gas of a combustion system and is exothermic when in contact with the cellulosic material, therefore generating heat. The material obtained by the method may be used for storing and transporting carbon dioxide, or as a fertiliser. Also claimed is the step of using a portion of the heat energy produced to heat fibres previously treated thereby releasing carbon dioxide from the material.

Title: A telecommunications network and terminal
Inventor: FOX DAVID
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2013-12-12
Abstract: A mobile telecommunications network has a content optimisation means in the core network which differentially marks IP packets of a specific service flow based on aspects of the service. The radio access network schedules traffic based on the marking. Packets may be marked within the DSCP code point. Packets in a video service flow may be marked high priority at session initiation or during congestion to improve customer experience. Specific packets of web content may be marked high priority if they impact on click-to-view time. An application running on a mobile device (UE) marks IP packets with a priority based upon the event that triggered the service or on knowledge of customer perception of what triggered the service event. Specific email requests are given a higher priority than background email downloads.

Title: Machine-to-machine cellular communication security
Inventor: BONE NICHOLAS
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2014-08-12
Abstract: Facilitating authentication on communication between a mobile terminal and a server is achieved. The communication is made through a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) of a network in which the mobile terminal is operating. A Home Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) of the mobile terminal generates a ciphering key for encryption of packet-switched data between the mobile terminal and the server. As part of a message from a network entity in the Home PLMN to the SGSN in which the SGSN expects to receive the ciphering key, alternative data is communicated in place of the ciphering key. Secure communication between the mobile terminal and the server is performed by applying encryption using a ciphering key generated by a network entity in a Home PLMN of the mobile terminal in messages between the mobile terminal and the server.

Title: Method for efficient write operations on a data carrier with overlapping data tracks and device thereof
Inventor: PANTEL LOTHAR
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 2015-03-02
Abstract: Efficient write operations which may be used in connection with shingled magnetic recording (SMR) reduces write amplification (readÂ­-modify-write). The tracks 3 on at least one data carrier surface are grouped into bands 21, and the address space of logical block addresses is divided into address subsets (23 fig. 9). Each of these address subsets is permanently assigned to a dedicated selection of tracks derived from all bands. The dedicated selection of tracks may be chosen in such a way that no write amplification occurs in a first phase and/or that recent data or newly added data can be altered without necessitating read-modify-write. A guard region 14 may be located in the middle or near the middle of a band and both tracks adjacent the guard region are written such that excess width of the write element may be caught by a guard region. Overlapping data tracks may converge from both outer boundaries of each band inward establishing overlaps in opposite radial directions with each band.

Title: Early connection release
Inventor: OLIVIER MARCO
IPC: H04W76/06
Filed: 2016-02-05
Abstract: Several methods are described to enable the early release of a data connection after completion of a message exchange. Various messages and message flows between a User Equipment (UE) and an eNodeB are proposed to enable a positive indication that a radio link release can be requested by the UE. These include, receiving an acknowledgement that data transmitted over a data channel has been received, transmitting a connection release request that includes an identity of the last data transmitted on the first data channel, and a control Packet Data Unit (PDU) that comprises release assistance information indicating a request by the mobile device to release the connection. An embodiment describes the UE as an Internet of Things (IoT) device which utilizes the method to reduce power consumption by releasing a connection early rather than waiting for a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) period to expire. The connection release message may be an NAS or RRC message.

Filed: 2016-03-09
Abstract: An additive manufacturing method including the steps of depositing a first granular construction material as a layer 2a into a build region, and selectively binding regions of the first material together to form bound regions within the layer. Unbound material is then removed from the layer, so as to produce at least one void. A second granular material 2a is then deposited into the build region so as to fill the void(s). Regions of the second material are then selectively bound together within the layer. The second material is different from the first material. The method is achieved by providing an apparatus 10 with means for depositing the first and second granular materials 15a, means for selectively binding regions of a layer, and means for removing unbound material from the build region. Binder may be supplied through an ink-jet print head 15b. A smoothing blade 15e/15f may ensure deposited material is of uniform thickness. The removing means may be a suction device 15k.

Title: Method and computer program product for generating an artefact-reduced voxel data record
Inventor: SVEN SIMON
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2016-06-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and computer program for generating an artefact-reduced voxel data record of an object to be examined with the aid of a computed tomography (CT) scanner. The method comprises generating a first image data record by acquiring a multiplicity of first CT images of the object, 80, wherein an acquisition angle in respect of a first axis of rotation is modified between the acquisition of the first CT images (for example by rotating the object.) The object is tilted by a predetermined angle in respect of a second axis of rotation substantially orthogonal to the first axis of rotation (Figure 4) and a second image data record generated by acquiring a multiplicity of second CT images of the object when tilted about the second axis of rotation. A voxel data record of the object is generated using an iterative image data reconstruction algorithm which uses both the generated first and second image data records (such as a modified MLEM algorithm.) In a further aspect the image data is reconstructed by means of filtered back projection of the first and second image data records and subsequent data fusion.
