Title: Method and system for generating a quote
Inventor: BRAUN BENJAMIN
IPC: G06Q40/08
Filed: 2013-10-30
Abstract: A method of generating a personalised quote from a first service provider 50_1 for a customer comprises extracting customer information 12, 14, 16 from a document 10 provided by a second service provider, such as a utility bill or insurance policy, and generating a quote based on the extracted information. The document may be captured by a users smartphone or tablet 20, either being retrieved if it is already in electronic form or photographed if it is a paper document. The information may be extracted from the document at the users device, or the document may be sent electronically to the first service provider or a central server 30. Information may be extracted by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or manually by an operator at the service provider. The extracted information may be provided to further service providers 50_2, 50_3, 50_4 for further quotes. Thus a user does not have to manually input their data, saving time and improving accuracy.

Title: Method and apparatus for admitting a request for allocation of wireless connection resources in a communication system where public safety users
Inventor: FREDERICKS ROBERT A
IPC: H04W16/06
Filed: 2013-01-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for admitting requests for allocation of bandwidth in a communication system is provided herein. During operation, available bandwidth is logically divided for use among commercial users and public-safety users, where the commercial users utilize a predefined portion of the bandwidth and the public-safety users utilize a public-safety portion of the bandwidth. When a public-safety bearer request is made, and available bandwidth does not exist within the public safety portion of the bandwidth, some bandwidth unoccupied by commercial users from commercial portion can be used to admit the bearer request. When commercial bandwidth is occupied by commercial users, lower priority commercial users can be preempted so that commercial bandwidth can be used to handle the bearer request. In a similar manner, the public-safety portion of available bandwidth can temporarily be used by commercial users.

Filed: 2015-01-19
Abstract: A graphene laminate film comprises (i) a layer of graphene comprising overlapping flakes of single layer, bilayer and multilayer graphene, on (ii) a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate having thermal conductivity at RT of 0.15-0.24 W/mk, said graphene layer (i) has a thickness of 8-44µm, a mass density of 1.0-1.9 g/cm3 and electrical resistance of 1.8-6.1 Ω. The graphene laminate layer may be deposited or compressed onto the polyethylene terephthalate substrate to determine physical parameters affecting heat conduction. Measurements of thermal conductivity of the graphene laminate film are performed by usingoptothermal Raman technique and a set of suspended samples with the graphene laminate thickness from 8-44 µm. The thermal conductivity of the graphene laminate film is in a range from 40 W/mK to 90 W/mK at room temperature. It is found unexpectedly that an average size of a graphene flake is a more important parameter defining heat conduction than the mass density of the graphene laminate film.
