Title: Cyclone separator
Inventor: DAVIES OWEN MATTHEW
IPC: B04C5/26
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A three stage cyclone separator suitable for use in a domestic vacuum cleaner comprises a first stage (13, fig 9) wherein the fluid enters tangentially (11, fig 9) and the lighter phase leaves axially in the first direction (41, fig 9), whilst the heavier particles exit axially in the second direction towards a collection bin (31, fig 9) which is partially separated from the first stage by a flange (21, fig 9) which hinders heavy particles form being re-entrained in the fluid flow. Fluid leaving the first stage moves axially through a second stage (54, fig 9) to the third stage. In the third stage, the fluid enters tangentially (71, fig 9) and the heavier particles move axially into a collecting region (33, fig 9). This collecting region is an integral part of the separation chamber and as such a vortex is established therein which holds the heavier particles to the circumferential wall and prevents them from being re-entrained into the clean air which leaves the third stage axially (74, fig 9) and passes once again through the second stage on its way to the final exit (63, fig 9).

Title: Controlling access to a telecommunicated data file
Inventor: CUNNINGHAM GILES SEBASTIAN
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2000-08-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling access to a telecommunicated data file and is suited to applications where the content provider requires payment for releasing the file to a recipient. An encrypted version of the data file is associated with a toll server software device, and both are uploaded to a network, e.g. the Internet. A recipient requiring access to the data file downloads the encrypted data file and the toll server software device. The toll server device then requests authorisation data from the recipient, e.g. a password or pin, and communicates this to a toll server for authorisation. Once authorised, a decryption key is downloaded from the toll server to the toll server software device for accessing the data file. Funds are then electronically transferred from the recipient to the toll server and from the toll server to the content provider. The transaction may be effected through use of a premium rate telephone line. Also disclosed is a method for counting the number of click-throughs to an advertisement on a web-site and effecting a transaction between the advertiser and the content provider and/or the party viewing the advertisement.

Title: Structures with magnetic properties
Inventor: YOUNG IAN ROBERT
IPC: H01Q15/00
Filed: 2001-03-06
Abstract: A surface structure with preselected magnetic permeability in the plane of the surface comprises an array of elements consisting of multi-turn helical loops made for example by tracks 10, 11 on a printed circuit board plated through for example by vias 13 and with the possible addition of a parallel capacitance 14, the pitch of the array being much less than the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation to which the surface exhibits predetermined values of magnetic permeability, which can range from negative values such as -1 to 0 and to positive values greater than 1. The latter act as a duct for magnetic flux allowing receive coils and magnetic resonance imaging apparatus to be spaced from the surface of a patient and also to allow for screening purposes within magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. A value of magnetic permeability of-1 enables the surface structure to be used as a reflecting surface.

IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-03-27
Abstract: A beacon (4) is placed at a specific location, such as a bus stop and has a local communication means (5) which it uses to transmit a code to the mobile telephone (1). The code identifies a predetermined item of information stored on a remote server (7), such as a bus timetable document.

The mobile telephone (1) then transmits a copy of the information to the beacon (4) which stores it in its cache (6) and also displays the document to its user. A PDA (8), which lacks a network communication means, is then able to retrieve the cached information directly from the beacon (4) using only its local communication means (9). The PDA then displays the bus timetable document to its user.
