Patent GB-2420060-A (GB)
Title: Activation of software on a mobile communications device
Inventor: COHEN JORDAN
IPC: H04M1/72427
Filed: 2003-12-03
Abstract: Voice recognition software is embedded on a mobile terminal. Part of the software includes a basic word recognition dictionary enabling a basic control function to be carried out, e.g. operation of a phonebook stored on the terminal. The voice recognition includes an enhanced function including an extended dictionary, such that a more advanced application may be run, such as the creation of SMS messages by speech input. This arrangement avoids the need to download software for the advanced function, or cope with the situation where it is not possible simply to "add-on" the enhancement. Thus it is already provided in the terminal but activated only by reception or input of an activating digital key 202. This may be done for a trial period, without charge 204, after which continuation requires registering and payment 208-216, or deactivation 218-220. Alternatively there may be no free trial, but the user is periodically sent messages reminding of the availability of the enhanced function.

Title: Selecting the information elements to be included in a frame of fixed size on the basis of priority
Inventor: CENTONZA ANGELO
IPC: H04W28/06
Filed: 2007-01-09
Abstract: A method of fitting a message response to a frame size comprises preparing a query message (1) to send from a user device (MS) to a network (AP, 15), allocating priority levels to each information element in the message; and sending the message to the network. The network determines a maximum permitted frame size for a response, prepares the response and compares the size of the response with the maximum frame size. If the size of the response exceeds the maximum frame size, it reduces the number of information elements in the response, by removing information elements having the lowest priority until the response is within the maximum permitted frame size, and then sends the filtered response (3).

Title: Process for preparing moulding powder
IPC: A61C13/087
Filed: 1946-04-01
Abstract: Synthetic resin moulding powders for the production of dental protheses or artificial limbs are made by cutting up or grinding highly polymerised block polymers or pearl polymers.  The pearl polymers which contain bubbles of air and water are pre-treated by racking and then comminuted in a ball mill until no whole pearls are left.  Block polymers produced by polymerisation of monomeric compounds without dispersing media or diluents are cut into shreds and comminuted in a mill.  When high accuracy is required in the moulded product such as optical lenses and dental protheses the comminuted polymers e.g. methylmethacrylates, are mixed with monomeric polymerisable compounds.  The block polymers may be produced by heating monomers with catalysts.  The polymers used may be mixed polymers of vinyl chlorides and vinyl acetates.
