Title: Method for generating a content summary
Inventor: TEH JONATHAN SOON YEW
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2005-02-21
Abstract: An apparatus comprises a grouping processor 103 grouping sequential events of a content item into event groups. A training data storage 107 comprises training data in the form of information for a large number of training content items comprising event class sequences. The training data comprises training content summaries for each of the training content items. The training content summaries comprise training summary items which are linked to the event class sequences. A rating processor 105 determines a rating for each group in response to a probability characteristic of the training data. The rating processor 105 determines how often information for an event class sequence corresponding to the event group is included in the training content items relative to the frequency at which this event class sequence occurs in the training data. A selection processor 109 selects event groups depending on the rating of the event groups and a summary generator 111 generates the content summary by including summary items for the selected event groups.

Title: Radio controlled jet powered bait boat
Inventor: ALLEN STEVEN
IPC: A01K97/02
Filed: 2005-04-18
Abstract: A radio controlled jet powered bait boat for the delivery of bait and/or hook and bait to a specific location in an expanse of water. The boat power means comprises a single water pump 1, a water flow tube 2, and integral water flow pipes 4 and 5. A thrust director 3 is moveable from a position where it is connected to the left side water flow pipe 4 to a position where it is connected to the right hand side water flow pipe 5. This allows water to be directed from either side of the boat, thus causing the boat to turn on its own axis in a either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. The thrust may also be alternated from one to the other to effect a reverse motion.

Title: Power conditioning unit
Inventor: RODRIGUEZ CUAUHTEMOC
IPC: H02M7/48
Filed: 2006-01-13
Abstract: The present invention concerns a power conditioning unit for controlling the transfer of power from a dc energy source such as a solar panel, a fuel cell or a dc wind turbine, into an ac output. The ac output may be connected to the mains or grid utility supply, or used independently. The power conditioning unit comprises a dc-dc power converter 3 for receiving dc power, an energy storage capacitor 4, and a dc-ac power converter 5 for delivering ac power. Synchronised, independent control blocks 7, 8 control the system. The described method of control allows use of a smaller energy storage capacitor 4 than in prior systems. The capacitor 4 may have a value less than 20 microfarads. The energy storage capacitor 4 may thus be a polyester or polypropylene capacitor, rather than an short lifetime aluminium electrolytic capacitor. Capacitor lifetimes of up to 500,000 hours can thus be achieved.

Title: Outsourcing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) data and formatting the CRM data by a third party for telephone call handling
Inventor: PICKERING RICHARD
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2006-10-03
Abstract: Operating a computer-telephony system, comprising providing computer telephony support for a plurality of customers (businesses, organisations) i.e. the support is outsourced to a third party. Each customer maintains customer relationship management (CRM) data. The CRM data is uploaded from the customers into a computer telephony database, wherein the uploading includes transforming the CRM data from an original format maintained by the customer into a standardised format for the Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) database of the third party. Telephone calls can be handled using the transformed CRM data in the computer-telephony database. The present invention allows a service provider (or third party) to support telephone calls (i.e. call centre operations) for different customers (businesses, organisations etc) using the CRM data appropriate for any given customer. By transforming the CRM data for all the different customers from an original format (as maintained by the customer itself) into a standardised format, the telephony system avoids the complexities of having to provide direct support for multiple different CRM data formats.

Patent GB-2446078-A (GB)
Title: Freeze indicators suitable for mass production
Inventor: TAYLOR DENE H
IPC: G01K11/14
Filed: 2006-11-07
Abstract: A freeze indicator employs, as active indicator element, dispersion of solid particles in a liquid medium which can be water or aqueous and which coagulates to provide an irreversible appearance change when subject to freezing. The liquid dispersion can be contained in an indicator volume around which extends a vapor block layer. The vapor block layer can prevent loss of liquid vapor from the dispersion and consequent drying out and dysfunctionality of the freeze indicator. For containing an aqueous medium, bilayer and trilayer laminate materials can be used which have a low water vapor transmission rate. The active indicator element can be a dilute colloidal dispersion of a metal such as gold or silver or other inorganic pigment material in water or an aqueous medium. Some embodiments avoid use of dispersants and the like and employ an active indicator element consisting of inorganic pigment particles, water and optionally an ice nucleating agent. Heavy water, or deuterated water can be components of the water, if desired.

Title: Dating a sample of a body fluid using optical spectroscopy
Inventor: AALDERS MAURICE
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 2008-04-21
Abstract: A system for dating a sample of body fluid in particular blood, which may be either within the body (e.g. as a bruise or haematoma ), or external to the body (e.g. as a forensic sample). The method involves taking a series of spectroscopic measurements of the sample at spaced time intervals, each measurement including at least two wavelengths which have spectral characteristics corresponding to two substances in the sample that have a time varying relationship with each other. A ratio of the concentrations of the two substances at each point in time is determined and analysed to estimate when the concentrations were at a limit, thereby providing an indication of the age of the sample. The method may involve reflective or interferometric spectroscopic measurements made at a series of depths in the body or lateral positions on the body. The substances may be haemoglobin and met-haemoglobin or haemoglobin and bilirubin.
