Title: Selecting the most appropriate device to satisfy a user request
Inventor: KNOWLES IAN
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2012-09-28
Abstract: Selecting an end-user device from a plurality of end-user devices to satisfy a user request. The method comprises storing at a portal aggregator (112, Figure 1) data identifying a user device group (116, 118 Figure 1) comprising a plurality of end-user devices, wherein the data identifying the device group comprises the capabilities of each end-user device (Figure 2). When the portal aggregator receives a request from the user 402 the portal aggregator generates a list of end-user devices 404, 406 from the device group that are capable of satisfying the user request. The portal aggregator then selects 410 an end-user device from the list of capable end-user devices and then transmits a command 412 to the selected end-user device to satisfy the request. In some cases the list of capable end-user devices may be sorted, filtered and/or prioritized prior to selecting an end-user device from the list 408. Such ranking may be based on status information, geographic/location information, storage space information etc. Capabilities information maintained in the portal aggregator may include telephone/call capabilities, text/email capabilities, video (camera) recording capability or television/radio recording capabilities. The portal aggregator may therefore select the most suitable device, from a group of devices, based on current capabilities to satisfy a user request.

Title: Transmission of data in a broadband radio communication system using dynamic frequency selection to avoid interference with radar pulses
Inventor: CROWLE MARTIN RICHARD
IPC: H04W16/14
Filed: 2013-01-21
Abstract: Data packets are transmitted from a terminal of a broadband radio communication system using Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS). For each transmission cycle 32a, 32b, 32c in a transmission period, data is received at a data interface of the terminal and buffered. Transmission of radio signals comprising the received data is enabled on expiry of a repetition interval 38a, 38b from the start of a previous transmission. The repetition intervals 38a, 38b are controlled to reduce a proportion of the transmission period for which transmission may occur at an allowed pulse repetition interval of radar with which the terminal may interfere. The presence of radar pulses is checked during a wait period 30a, 30b, 30c for each cycle whilst the terminal is not transmitting. If radar pulses are present, the transmission of radio signals, which may interfere with the radar pulses, is inhibited.

Title: A lamp assembly
Inventor: DONEGAN PAUL MICHAEL
IPC: F21V21/04
Filed: 2013-04-19
Abstract: A lamp assembly for mounting in an associated opening in a ceiling panel 8 has a lamp housing 2 with a flanged outer end 3. A pair of spring loaded clamp arms 5 are mounted on the housing 2. The clamp arms 5 are movable between a folded disengaged position against the lamp housing 2 and an outwardly extended engaged position to retain the lamp assembly 1 on the ceiling panel. Springs 9 on each clamp arm 5 urge the clamp arms towards the engaged position. A retaining ring 10 surrounds the clamp arms 5 to hold them in the folded position to aid insertion of the lamp assembly into the opening of the ceiling panel. As the lamp assembly is inserted into the opening, the retaining ring moves downwardly off the clamp arms 5 thus releasing the clamp arms which can then move into the engaged position under spring bias.
