Title: Location validation in cellular communication systems
Inventor: BROCK DAVID CHARLES
IPC: H04W84/00
Filed: 2014-02-21
Abstract: A method for location validation of a UE in a cellular communications system uses measurements on a very low power "presence cell" in order to determine whether a UE is close to the presence cell rather than trying to provide this validation of proximity to the presence cell by accessing service through the presence cell. When the owner of the UE is performing a transaction (for example, a cash withdrawal at a cash machine) for which it is required to verify that their UE is in the immediate vicinity of where that transaction is taking place, a location validation centre may request that the UE takes specific measurements of the signal strength of a cell identified by a particular cell identifier which has been assigned to the presence cell. If the UE can detect the specified presence cell can report this to the location validation centre thereby confirming its location.

Title: Communication method and system for accessing media data
Inventor: HAMPP-BAHNMUELLER THOMAS
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: A method comprises generating a hierarchy of data entities, comprising nodes (301-307) and connected by edges (127), each edge of the edges being assigned an edge weight value based on a dependency category, such as linked, nested, version, tagged etc. between the two data entities. Each node of the nodes (301-307) is assigned a first access rating value based on, for example, the number of visits, a rating etc. One of the nodes (301-307) is selected as a seed node (305), and for each edge of the linked data structure (126, 300) calculating a rating residue value as the difference between the two first access rating values of the nodes connected by the edge. The linked data structure (126, 300) is then traversed starting from the seed node and for each edge traversed starting from a source node to a destination node calculating for the destination node a second access rating value using the at least one edge weight value of the edge and the first access rating value of the destination node and the source node. This is repeated until the residue values converge. Nodes which have access values meeting a criterion are then removed. The data entities relate to media data which is shared between users, such as wikis, blogs, forums, profiles etc.

Title: Train timetable generation system, train timetable generation device, and train timetable generation method
Inventor: YASUMOTO MASAHIRO
IPC: B61L27/00
Filed: 2015-02-03
Abstract: Multiple client devices 0102, 0103 generate desired timetables preferred by respective service operators and a timetable generation device 0101 generates a proposed timetable there-from. The timetable generation device receives the desired timetables transmitted from the client devices; supplements any undesignated portion in the desired timetables with candidate values; aggregates the supplemented timetables; uses stored line failure information to calculate a number of reschedulings required if any line were to become unusable; and transmits to the client devices a proposed timetable that minimizes the rescheduling count. Each client device displays the proposed timetable to acquire approval or rejection thereof for transmission to the timetable generation device. The client devices may also propose timetable amendments. Thus where railway operations are divided into two layers, a railway infrastructure operator may generate an optimised timetable from the desired timetables of multiple service operators who use a common railway network.

Title: Osteogenic scaffold based on amorphous calcium-carbonate-polyphosphate
Inventor: WERNER ERNST LUDWIG GEORG MULLER
IPC: C01F11/18
Filed: 2015-10-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of biologically active amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC)-polyphosphate microparticles. The method comprises preparing an aqueous solution of a polyphosphate salt (polyP) in about 0.1M sodium hydroxide; adding about 0.5mol/L of sodium carbonate; diluting the resulting solution with about 1.5 volumes of deionized water; and mixing the solution with the same volume of an aqueous solution containing calcium chloride such that an about equimolar concentration ratio between calcium ions and carbonate ions results. The mixture is then washed with a lower alkyl ketone at about room temperature, followed by filtering and drying of a precipitate as formed. Preferably the polyphosphate salt is sodium polyphosphate (Na-polyP). Also claimed is an implant material produced by the method, preferably an artificial bone implant. The polyphosphate is thought to block the transformation of the metastable ACC into the most stable crystalline calcium carbonate polymorph. This stabilized ACC composition is claimed to be used as a food or dietary supplement, for use in the treatment of calcium deficiency and for use in the prophylaxis and/or therapy of osteoporosis.

Title: Hardware data structure for tracking partially ordered and reordered transactions
Inventor: DARBARI ASHISH
IPC: G06F13/36
Filed: 2014-09-02
Abstract: A counter is used to track the age of in flight transactions, where a slave receives transactions from more than one master. The data structure may comprises a counter that keeps track of the number of in-flight transactions; an indexed table that keeps track of the age of each of the in-flight transactions using the counter; and control logic that verifies a transaction response has been received in the correct order (e.g. corresponds to the oldest in-flight transaction) based on the age information in the table. This allows operations which are performed out of order to be identified so that errors in read, write data are determined. The counter may be incremented when control signals detect a new transaction, and the table updated for the new transaction and decremented when the transaction response is issued. An error detection module detects when transactions are out of sequence, using assertions.
