Title: Call logging at a base station in a wireless telecommunications system
Inventor: LAMKIN RICHARD MORTIMER
IPC: H04W84/14
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: A subscriber terminal ST 20 in a service area 12 communicates via a base station 10 (or central terminal CT) to other subscriber terminals in the same service area, or to other service areas or telephone networks via a PSTN. Calls to or from the subscriber terminal are logged at the base station for the purpose of billing and statistical analysis. A call manager at the base station receives the call and generates a call instance containing attributes defining the call. The attributes include call duration, called and caller's number, time and date of call, incoming or outgoing to a subscriber terminal and whether the call is internal to the wireless system or through the PSTN. The attributes are stored as a call log in a call logger. Thus calls from a subscriber terminal to another subscriber terminal supported by the same base station can be routed and logged without going via the PSTN. Call routing is also described in which the called number is matched to a number in a phone list having a corresponding communication line assigned to it, in order to select a communication line for the call.

Title: Container with thermochromic component
Inventor: DESNOS ANNE
IPC: A45D26/00
Filed: 1997-03-24
Abstract: A container for epilatory wax includes a lid, an application device, such as a spatula, or a nozzle connected to the container. There may also be a stirring device or a strip of material, preferably cardboard, included, for dipping into the wax. Any of these may include thermochromic material, which changes colour when the wax is heated to the right temperature for application to the skin.

Title: Method and system for intelligent cell selection using location data in cellular systems
Inventor: HUTCHESON JONATHAN EDWARD
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1995-08-14
Abstract: A cellular communication system projects multiple cells throughout a user area. Subscriber units (24) encounter multiple cells as they roam through the user area or as the cells migrate past the subscriber unit (24). When a subscriber unit (24) encounters the fringe area of a cell it must select and transition to a target cell to maintain contact with the system. The subscriber unit (24) performs an analysis of the location, proximity, and expected duration of exposure of candidate target cells using location data transmitted by control channels located in the candidate cells. The subscriber unit (24) then selects a target cell based on these factors.

Patent GB-2331179-A (GB)
Title: Preventing negative charge build up on a substrate being implanted with positive ions
Inventor: ITO HIROYUKI
IPC: G21K5/04
Filed: 1997-11-07
Abstract: In ion implantation processes, secondary electrons are emitted from a substrate 10 and have the effect of producing excessive negative charge build up on the substrate damaging the substrate. In the present invention the negative charge build up on the substrate is restricted by extending a magnetic filter 18,19,20 across the ion beam 14 between a substrate holder 11 and a plasma flood source 17 of the ion implanter to deflect the secondary electrons with higher energies above about 15eV out of the ion beam to be absorbed by a conductive element 16, preventing re-attachment of the high energy secondary electrons to the substrate and allowing lower energy electrons below about 15eV, which are necessary for neutralising positive charge build up on the substrate caused by the ion beam, to diffuse across the magnetic filter without being deflected out of the ion beam.

Title: Switching between uniform and stratified charge combustion in a direct injection internal combustion engine
Inventor: MACHIDA KENICHI
IPC: F02D41/30
Filed: 1998-06-22
Abstract: A control apparatus prevents the erroneous switching of the combustion mode from uniform to stratified charge combustion in a direct injection spark ignition type internal combustion engine. The apparatus comprises a software determination means in a main CPU 11 for determining when to switch to stratified charge combustion, based on an input signal related to engine conditions, and further comprises a hardware detection circuit 13 (gate array) which also determines when to switch to stratified charge combustion based on an input signal related to engine conditions. The main CPU has a combustion mode order means for ordering the switching to stratified charge combustion mode only when both the software and hardware determining means determine that the switching should take place. Further, a sub-CPU 12 is equipped with a fail-safe means for performing a fail-safe process when the determinations of the software and hardware means are inconsistent. This fail-safe process can be the forcible closing of the throttle valve, or the forcible switching of the combustion mode from stratified to uniform charge combustion.

Title: Speech coding in a telecommunication system
Inventor: HOLLIS MARK
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: An arrangement for setting up a call between first and second mobile telecommunication networks in which the speech codec to be used is negotiated between the two networks. At least one of the networks comprises a tandem free operation (TFO) device outside the radio access network and the negotiation occurs between the TFO devices of the first and second networks. The radio access network is notified of the determined speech codec by sending a call control message from the associated TFO device. The two mobile telecommunications networks may be interconnected by the PSTN. The arrangement helps prevent a degradation in speech quality by allowing the coded speech to be passed between the two networks without further coding and decoding operations.

Title: Resource allocation in a messaging system
Inventor: RONCA DAVID RANDALL
IPC: H04M3/50
Filed: 1999-08-13
Abstract: A resource allocation manager to allocate resources to handle applications in a messaging system includes a database storing a set of resource allocation rules to govern the allocation of resources to applications. A resource allocation engine is responsive to events that potentially effect the manner in which resources are allocated. The resource allocation agent accesses the database and interprets the resource allocation rules in response to events to determine if the events warrant a reallocation of resources to handle applications. Allocation agents are responsive to the resource allocation engine and reallocate resources to handle applications when detected events warrant a reallocation of resources. A method of allocating resources in a messaging system is also provided.

Title: Ground surface access assemblies
Inventor: TURNER BARRY
IPC: E03F5/06
Filed: 1999-10-08
Abstract: A ground surface access assembly (10) includes a frame member (12) and a cover member (14). The cover member (14) has two projections (24A, 24B) fig 1, which are able to engage support arrangements on the frame member (12). There are two pairs of support arrangements on the same frame member (12). Each pair includes a recess (26A, 26B) for engaging a projection (24A, 24B) of the cover member (14) and a seat (28A, 28B) to which the other projection is clamped by assembly (40) fig 5. When in place, the cover member (14) is rotatable relative to the frame member (12). The cover member (14) is pivotally mounted on either pair of support arrangements so that it can be chosen to rotate either clockwise or anticlockwise. There is also provided a means whereby the position of support depends upon the load borne by the cover. Under low load conditions a resilient member on at least one of the support surfaces provides the support. Under high loading, the resilient member compresses sufficiently that the cover member lug (82) comes into contact with a high load support on the frame (82).
