Title: Integrated instant message system with gateway functions and method for implementing the same
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2005-06-22
Abstract: The present invention discloses an integrated instant message system including gateway functions and a method for implementing the same. In the integrated instant message system, a user is used as a session initiator. The session initiator builds a session for passing instant messages through a network medium. In the session, the session initiator is used as a gateway in order to invite other clients in networks to join in the session. Because the session initiator provides other instant message functions, it accepts connections from the users of other instant message systems in order to integrate the clients of different instant message systems in the session.

Patent GB-0810959-D0 (GB)
Title: Method for operating an air hybrid vehicle
Filed: 2008-06-16
Abstract: An air hybrid vehicle is described powered by an internal combustion engine (16) which may or may not be equipped with a supercharger or turbocharger (10) for boosting the engine (16). In the invention, power is taken from the vehicle to drive the engine (16) during deceleration or coasting of the vehicle. The engine (16) absorbs kinetic energy from the vehicle and uses that energy to produce boost air which is transferred and stored in a boost air storage tank (34) on board the vehicle at a storage pressure not exceeding 3 bar absolute pressure. The vehicle achieves fuel saving and high performance by boost substitution when this boost air is used to supply the engine (16) for short periods during acceleration or cruising of the vehicle without relying on any air charger, temporarily fulfilling the role of an air charger without actually driving an air charger by substituting the boost normally supplied by an air charger with an equivalent boost produced and stored during regenerative braking. To accommodate a large boost air storage tank (34), the body of the vehicle is adapted with air-tight volumes linked together to form one large storage volume.
Patent GB-8310836-D0 (GB)
Title: Forming structural sheets
IPC: A01F15/04
Filed: 1983-04-21
Abstract: The apparatus accepts dry stripped crude fiber such as straw or sugar cane wastes, coconut husks, or elephant grass, compacts them into a relatively dense sheet, and bonds a strong surfacing material such as a heavy paper to the faces and edges. The sheet, continuously flowing from the apparatus, is cut into standard lengths and the cut ends are capped with the same surfacing material. A precompactor near the end of an entrance chute into the apparatus uniformly predensifies the incoming fiber prior to its compaction by means of a ram. The ram is carried on roller bearings especially adapted to withstand the weight and other forces associated with the continuous movement of the ram. The compacted material is continuously propelled by the ram and enters a press, where heat and pressure produce a dimensionally stable sheet bonded together partially by natural resins released from the fibers by the heat, and partially by mechanical interlinking between fibers. In the following operation, the sheet is covered with the surfacing material, which is successively folded over and bonded to the edges of the sheet. The surfacing material, provided in discrete rolls, is continuously available from a feeder station, which facilitates the substitution of a fresh roll as the material is consumed. In the following sawing and end sealing operations, fully surfaced sheets of standard lengths are produced.

Title: Electronic circuits and processing systems
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1993-09-28
Abstract: A watchdog circuit (3) for monitoring correct operation of a processor (1) and for preventing supply of a faulty output from the processor to associated apparatus (2) has a switching circuit (31) with two monostables (32 and 33) controlling a gate (30). The processor (1) supplies two codes to inputs of comparators (35 and 55), which also receive codes from hard-wired circuits (39 and 59) nominally-identical to the codes from the processor. The processor (1) has corruption circuits (41 and 51) through which the codes are alternately supplied so that the inputs to the comparators (35 and 55) differ alternately and hence their outputs alternate. The outputs from the comparators (35 and 55) are connected to the monostables (32 and 33) via a gate (34) so that the monostables keep the gate (30) open while the processor (1) is functioning correctly. The circuit may also be used with only one comparator, one hard-wired circuit etc, and then the processor only needs to supply one code (eg. 38) to the watchdog circuit. <IMAGE>

Title: Mobile internet Access
IPC: H04W80/04
Filed: 1999-11-04
Abstract: A method of authorising an Internet Protocol (IP) enabled mobile host 1 to access the Internet 2 via an wireless LAN, GSM, or UMTS access network 3 comprises initially sending an IP access request from the mobile host 1 to an IP router 5 within the access network 3. In response to receipt of said access request at the IP router 5, an IP address routing prefix is sent from the IP router 5 to the mobile host 1. Electronic cash is then forwarded from the mobile host 1 to a control point 6 within the access network 3. The control point 6 confirms the authenticity and/or sufficiency of the electronic cash and, providing that confirmation is made, sends an authorisation message to the IP router 5. The IP router 5 blocks the transmission of IP packets between the mobile host 1 and the Internet 2 prior to receipt of the authorisation message and permits the passage of IP packets only after an authorisation message has been received.
