Title: Geo-location information storage system for mobile communications session data
Inventor: FLANAGAN MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2011-11-10
Abstract: A system 200 and method (500, Figure 5) are provided for storing communication session data from a wireless mobile communications system (210) in conjunction with derived geo-location information for the sessions. A raw record of data for each communication session taking place in at least one geographical region of the mobile radio communications network 210 is stored (510, Figure 5) in a first storage area 220. Each record of data is accessed (520, Figure 5), and a selected subset of the data for each communication session is stored (530, Figure 5) in a second storage area 250. Geo-location information is derived (540, Figure 5) for each communication session from the record, and also stored in the second storage area. The method and system may allow much more rapid access to subsets of data in the second storage area compared to directly searching the larger corresponding records in the first storage area. If necessary, access to the corresponding original raw records in the first storage area can also be made if the subset of the record in the second storage area does not contain the necessary information for a particular user 270 or operator query. The arrangement is concerned with storage of communication session data for fault diagnosis in a communication network or apparatus. In a further embodiment Quality of Service (QoS) may also be derived from the raw records and also stored with the subset of the record and its associated geolocation information in the second storage area. The second storage area acts like a cache system for quicker access, e.g. near real-time, to data that is likely to satisfy most requests for fault diagnosis or network coverage queries using the subset of information for each communication session record. An application server 260 and database server 240 may be embodied to facilitate the record querying. Figure 3 provides an exemplary record stored in the second storage area and Figure 4 provides an exemplary associated record stored in the first storage area.

IPC: G06F19/24
Filed: 2011-01-19
Abstract: A wellness analyzer is in communications with sensors that generate real time physiological data from a patient. The wellness analyzer is also in communications with databases that provide non-real-time information relevant to a medical-related assessment of the patient. In a diagnostic mode, a monitor layer inputs the sensor data and adjunct layers input the database information. Adjunct layer logic blocks process the database information so as to output supplemental information to the monitor. Monitor logic blocks process the sensor data and the supplemental information so as to generate a wellness output. In a simulation mode, a simulator generates at least one parameter and the monitor generates a predictive wellness output accordingly.

Title: A flywheel for energy storage and a corresponding method of manufacture
Inventor: TARRANT COLIN DAVID
IPC: F16F15/305
Filed: 2013-07-19
Abstract: A flywheel 70 for kinetic energy storage fabricated using composite materials and a corresponding method of manufacture are provided. The flywheel 70 comprises an outer annular rotor 26 and an inner annulus 66, having a longitudinal axis and comprising fibres in a matrix material. The fibres are in the form of at least one tow wound about the axis such that each successive tow winding is located adjacent to the preceding tow winding in the axial direction, with substantially no spacing therebetween and substantially no overlap with the preceding tow winding. The winding angle between the at least one tow and a normal to the longitudinal axis of the rotor is 2Â° or less. When a flywheel having this configuration fails as a result of fatigue, material flaw growth and high temperatures, it splits into two or more rings along planes perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. This failure mode is considerably more benign than an explosive burst failure as exhibited by known flywheels.
