Title: Automatic subject line filling based on message content
Inventor: DOUGLAS PAUL
IPC: H04M1/7243
Filed: 2004-05-10
Abstract: A method (200) of generating a message comprises the steps of identifying (220) whether a message comprises a subject field containing no characters; introducing (230) textual data automatically into the subject field based on the identification; and transmitting (235) the message with the textual data automatically entered therein to the subject field.

Title: Dynamic subcarrier allocation in Multicarrier Spread Spectrum communication
Inventor: LESTABLE THIERRY
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: In Multi-Carrier (MC) Orthogonal Frequency Multiple Access (OFDMA) communication involving error correction coding, subcarriers are allocated to multiple users dynamically (124) by taking account of different user requirements of quality and bandwidth for different transmissions (eg. voice, low-resolution video, broadcast quality video etc.) and the accuracy of those channel models, in order to adapt the spread factor appropriately. Each mobile terminal (300a,b...) subcarrier's index and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) are fed back to the transmitter, and the base station estimates the average Pairwise Error Probability (PEP) produced by the decoder for a given candidate set of subcarrier frequency allocations and a predetermined pilot signal sequence, in order to calculate subcarrier allocations such that the bandwidth and quality requirements of all the terminals are met. Joint adaptation of pilot patterns and spreading factors may be necessary to achieve this. The channel coding can be Turbo (PEP = equation 8) or Convolutional (PEP = equation 13) coding, and different scheduling policies (122) can be implemented.

Title: Air stabilised projectile
Inventor: SHAW CHRISTOPHER PAUL
IPC: F42B10/34
Filed: 2005-01-21
Abstract: An air stabilised projectile is disclosed having a reduced frontal area comprising an air intake 1 which channels air to pass inside and through the entire projectile during flight. Air entering the projectile 4 is slowed down by a cone shaped void 2 and exhausts at the rear of the projectile 5. The reduction in air speed at the rear of the projectile causes drag, faster air passing over the outside of the projectile meets this slower air and helps stabilise the projectile in flight. The projectile may be a bullet or pellet, and may be loaded as conventional ammunition. The projectile may further comprise a rear disk plate 3 which may be ejected during flight. The projectile may fly faster and travel further than a conventional projectile of the same calibre, using the same amount of propellant.

Title: End fitting
Inventor: BOWDEN JOHN V
IPC: F16L37/113
Filed: 2004-01-17
Abstract: An end fitting for a gas hose, for releasably connecting an appliance to gas supply pipework. In use, the end fitting connects to a valve of the gas supply pipework, a projection of the end fitting forcing a valve member off its seat in order to allow gas to flow from a gas supply into the hose and thence into the appliance. The end fitting is releasably connectible to the valve by way of a bayonet fitting. At least a part 36 of the bayonet fitting is of a material having a lower melting point than the remainder of the end fitting. Melting of this part, for example in the event of fire, causes the end fitting to disengage from the valve, thus causing the valve to close automatically.
