Title: Packaging for contact lenses
IPC: G02C7/04
Filed: 2001-11-07
Abstract: A package ( 10+20+30 ) for contact lenses ( 10 ), especially 'daily-disposable' lenses, in which the overall volume of the package and the internal volumes of the lens-holding cavities ( 20 ) in the package are minimised. The packages are preferably multi-cavity packages, with each cavity holding a single lens and all the lenses being inserted into their respective cavities with a common orientation such that a wearer of the contact lenses has the assurance that a lens can always be retrieved from a cavity in a standard orientation. The internal surface ( 24 ) of a cavity preferably deviates from sphericity by being formed with undulations ( 50 ) to break capillary attraction between the lens and the cavity wall ( 24 ) so aiding extraction of the lens from the cavity. On the instructions of an ophthalmic practitioner, packages of suitable lenses can be made up and dispatched by courier or by post to wearer of the lenses.

Patent GB-0624061-D0 (GB)
Title: Anonymous authentication
IPC: G06F21/31
Filed: 2006-12-01
Abstract: This present invention relates to an authentication system for users requiring to be allowed access to resources stored on a distributed or peer-to-peer system. Information supplied during the authentication process by the user is extremely difficult to be compromised because these details are not stored on a central server and are not transmitted over the network during the process. In combination with this, information about the location of nodes is not stored together on the network. This obviates the opportunity for an unauthorised user to use that information to identify the location of resources in order to gain unauthorised access. It is the intention of this present invention to preserve the anonymity of the user and to provide a mechanism for secure access to private storage of data and preferably other resources on a distributed file system.

Title: Location monitoring device and system
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2009-11-27
Abstract: In a location monitoring device and system a mobile device determines the network area in which the mobile device is located from network address parameters (such as a Cell_ID) in messages sent by the wireless communication network; and accumulates over a period of time data indicating for each network area in which it is determined that the mobile device is located, the corresponding network area parameter and the amount of time spent by the mobile device in that network area over said period of time. A location profile is generated from the accumulated data. This location profile identifies the geographical areas in which the mobile device spends most time. The location profile may be generated either by the mobile device itself, or by a remote network device. A content provider may use the location profiles to target suitable advertisements.

Patent GB-9104586-D0 (GB)
Title: Exposure control mechanism for still video camera
IPC: G06T5/40
Filed: 1991-03-05
Abstract: In an exposure control mechanism for a camera, and more particularly for a still video camera which obtains an image signal using an image sensor, a first preliminary exposure is conducted with almost all the center portion of an automatic exposure luminance range exposed to light of the most suitable exposure level. The specific number of pixels obtained through this exposure is limited to within the foregoing middle luminance range. However, since the total number of pixels are known, the total number of pixels saturated with image pick-up signals due to high exposure intensity in the portion recognized as white, and the total number of pixels in the portion recognized as black due to low exposure intensity, can be obtained by distribution data of pixels in an image pick-up screen with regard to the luminance level obtained by the first preliminary exposure. From the numbers of pixels in the portion recognized as white and in the portion recognized as black, the luminance information of the entire image pick-up screen, and rough information about the luminance distribution, are obtained, and a second preliminary exposure condition can be determined based upon the obtained information. Consequently, metering can be completed when preliminary exposure has been conducted twice.
