Title: Communications device
Inventor: WENDELRUP HEINO
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2000-06-30
Granted: 2004-08-11
Abstract: There is described a system for storing information, using a mobile communications device such as a mobile phone. The phone has a connection to a network infrastructure, over a mobile communications network such as a cellular radio network. Information can be stored by the user either in a storage location within or attached to his phone, or in a storage location which forms part of the network infrastructure. The user can be given the option of selecting a preferred storage location, but the system can also be transparent, so that the user does not need to know where any specific item is being stored. Similarly, information can be retrieved by the user, without the user needing to know where the information was stored.

An access aperture (240, 242) is provided in the housing (208, 210) through which in use a user may manually engage an exposed portion of the circumference of the blister pack (200) to apply rotation thereto. Two spaced manually releasable locking means (216) cooperate with the blister pack and are each manually moveable against a bias from a locking position in which the blister pack is prevented from rotation, to a release position in which in use the blister pack may be turned to present a next pocket adjacent the dispensing window.
Patent GB-2456292-B (GB)
Title: Interleaving or de-interleaving a stream of data received in successive frames
Inventor: NOKES CHRISTOPHER RYAN
IPC: H03M13/27
Filed: 2007-11-07
Granted: 2010-03-17
Abstract: The invention concerns an efficient interleaver, preferably for use with DVB-T2. The interleaver is initially filled sequentially [0,1,2,3,4...]. The data in the nth memory locations, with an increment when the maximum memory address has been reached, is then read out and immediately replaced with data for the second frame [0,3,6,9...1,4,7,10...]. The data nth memory location in the frames write sequence is then read out and again immediately refilled with the next frame [0,9,18,27...1,10,19,28...] and then [0,27,54...1,28,55...]. Thus the sequence of memory locations has steps of n0 for the initial write and then n1, n2, n3... for subsequent read/writes. Depending on memory size the sequence of locations can loop around quicker and can return to sequential at some point. When used with variable bit rate (VBR) data the interleave will skip address positions for which input data is lacking. Therefore if   rate data was received addresses outside the shaded area in the figure would not be used.
