Title: Network-side method for maintaining plmn continuity when moving between networks of different types as a function of plmn continuity preference
Inventor: DWYER JOHANNA
IPC: H04W48/00
Filed: 2009-04-17
Abstract: Network methods and systems for maintaining PMLN continuity when moving between networks of different types as a function of PLMN  continuity preference are provided. PLMN continuity preference concerns a preference for the mobile station when transferring from a first network type, such as cellular, to a second network type, such as GAN to reduce the possibility of dropping calls, for example. The network receives this preference information from the mobile station, and the network responds to registration requests based on the preference.

Title: Method and apparatus for pressure equalized dispensing of a pressurized liquid in a container (flair beverage valves)
Inventor: MAAS WILHELMUS JOHANNES JOSEPH
IPC: B67D1/04
Filed: 2010-05-07
Abstract: A method for dosed dispensing of a pressurized liquid is presented. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the method includes dispensing a liquid in a container via a dispensing opening into a dispensing space, where a difference in pressure between the container and the dispensing space is equalized in stages by using an intermediate dosing chamber. First the pressure is equalized between the container and the dosing chamber, then a quantity of the liquid is dispensed from the container into the dosing chamber, maintaining the pressure equivalence between the container and the dosing chamber by pressure communication between them. Next the dosing chamber is isolated both gaseously and liquidly from the container. In a second stage the pressure is equalized between the dosing chamber and the dispensing space, and the quantity of liquid in the dosing chamber is dispensed into the dispensing space as the pressure between the dosing chamber and the dispensing space is maintained equal. The method further includes providing the liquid in a first inner container of the container, and introducing a pressure equalizing medium into a second inner container, where the first and second inner containers adjoin each other at least with a deformable and/or displaceable side. The invention also relates to a dispensing device arranged to perform, inter alia, the disclosed method. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention a dispensing device can comprise a self-contained carbonated beverage dispenser that can be stored in a consumer's refrigerator, or can, for example, be self cooling.
Patent CA-2763243-A1 (CA)
Title: Pivoting arrangement
Inventor: BEUGELS JOHANNES
IPC: B26B19/04
Filed: 2010-05-21
Abstract: A pivoting arrangement for a shaving de-vice, comprising a pivoting member (10), adapted to sup-port a shaving head, a cradle (11), pivotly supporting the pivoting member, and a spring loading arrangement (13) arranged to bias the pivoting member in a resting position.  The spring loading arrangement has a limited active range, so that, when the pivoting member is brought out of the resting position in a first pivoting direction, the spring loading arrangement is prevented from interacting with the pivoting member in a first point of action (14a), and when the pivoting member is brought out of the resting position in a second pivoting direction, the spring loading arrangement is prevented from interacting with the pivot-ing member in a second point of action (14b). As a result, the resting position will not be dependent on e.g. the spring constants of different springs in the spring loading arrangement. The resting position will thus be more exact-ly defined, and exhibit less variation than conventional so-lutions.    Also, the total force acting on the pivoting mem-ber will be reduced, thus causing less friction, also serving to improve the predictability of the arrangement.

Abstract: Reference features are updated based on a previous scan during each mass spectrometry scan of a sample. Reference features with reference feature confidence values are generated from a plurality of initial scans. For each subsequent scan of a sample, sample features and sample feature confidence values are calculated. The reference features and sample features are aligned to determine common features. Constants are determined for an equation of mass of the mass spectrometer using confidence weighted regression of the common features. The constants and the equation of mass are used to calculate new mass values for the sample features. The reference features are updated using the sample features and the reference feature confidence values are recalculated in order to maintain the accuracy of reference features for calibration.

Title: Reduced q low frequency antenna
Inventor: LEIGHTON GRAHAM
IPC: H01Q7/00
Filed: 2012-06-29
Abstract: A rod antenna and antenna circuit are described which make use of negative feedback to reduce the Q of the antenna, but which also makes use of a different coil tapping arrangement to significantly reduce electric field susceptibility on the detected signal from the main coil as well as different biasing arrangements to reduce noise.  More particularly, in some embodiments of the invention the main detector coil of the antenna has a centre tap that is AC grounded with signal taps then being taken from the opposite ends of the main coil, and being respectively fed to the inputs of a differential amplifier.  The output of the differential amplifier is then fed to the magnetic circuit of the rod antenna via a second inductor winding that is magnetically coupled to the resonance circuit of the main antenna coil. The AC grounding of the centre of the main coil significantly reduces susceptibility of the coil to the electric field. In addition, in one embodiment plural such circuits may be provided, with the antenna and feedback coils magnetically coupled. By having each antenna coil tuned to a different frequency, a multi-band or wideband overall antenna may be obtained.
