Title: Using subscription information for a mobile device to select parameters when handing over from a LTE network to a CDMA network
Inventor: NOMA SATOSHI
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 2012-03-16
Abstract: A communication system 1 is described in which a long term evolution (LTE) base station, e.g. enhanced node B (eNB) 3, and LTE network 2 are shared by two or more code division multiple access (CDMA) network operators 4, 5. Mobility parameters for the different CDMA network operators 4, 5 are available and, when handing over a mobile communications device, i.e. user equipment (UE) 8, from the LTE network 2 to the CDMA network 4, 5, selection between the parameters is performed by one of the LTE base station 3, the UE 8 connected to the LTE base station 3 or a network node, e.g. an operations and management (O&M) node 10. The selection is performed based on information relating to subscription information for the UE 8. The subscription information may include a LTE network identity selected by the UE 8, which LTE network identity is mapped to a corresponding CDMA network identity for use as part of the handover procedure.

Title: Security gateway with two stage data transfer requests via gateway interim data store and monitoring to identify requests not initiated by a human
Inventor: HARRISON HENRY NOEL ARNOLD
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2012-05-21
Abstract: A secure gateway is 200 connected to corporate 210 and public 205 networks. Preferably the interface to each network 215/220 and an associated user interface 240/255 exist in isolated computing environments 245/250. These environments may be physically isolated or may be separate virtual machines. In order to transfer data from a source 230 on the public network to a recipient 235 on the corporate network, a request for transfer from the source to the gateway intermediate data store 225 must be submitted via network/user interface 1. A separate request for transfer from the gateway data store to the recipient device must then be submitted via user network/interface 2. Supervisory module 270 monitors the request characteristics to determine if they originate from a person or an automated system (eg. bot). In the latter case a further check (eg. CAPTCHA) may be required before allowing data transfer to the recipient device.

Title: Setting variable test reminder periods in social alarm clients
Inventor: FARRELL-SMITH RICHARD JAMES
IPC: G08B25/01
Filed: 2012-06-11
Abstract: A social alarm system is provided for monitoring the safety and wellbeing of a person within their home. A client unit 100 is installed in their home which communicates over a channel 300 with a remote monitoring server apparatus 200. Testing the client unit 100 includes setting a test reminder period in the client unit, and performing a test procedure at the client unit after the test reminder period. The client unit 100 is then reset in relation to a subsequent iteration of the test procedure. The test reminder period then comprises a fixed time period combined with a variable time element within a predetermined time range. The fixed time period may comprise for example 30 days, whilst the variable time period may comprise between 5 and 10 days. The setting of a test reminder period based on a fixed time period combined with a variable time element reduces the possibility of a number of individual client units performing a test call to a monitoring centre at the same time and thus overloading the monitoring centre.

Title: Method and apparatus for managing audio visual, audio or visual content
Inventor: DIGGINS JONATHAN
IPC: H04N21/8358
Filed: 2014-02-17
Abstract: To manage audio visual content, a stream of fingerprints is derived in a fingerprint generator and received at a fingerprint processor that is physically separate from the fingerprint generator. Metadata is generated by processing the fingerprints; the metadata is not directly encoded in the fingerprint. The metadata could be generated by: detecting the sustained occurrence of low values of an audio fingerprint to generate metadata indicating silence; comparing the pattern of differences between temporally succeeding values of a fingerprint with expected patterns of film cadence to generate metadata indicating a film cadence; and comparing differences between temporally succeeding values of a fingerprint with a threshold to generate metadata indicating a still image or freeze frame. The disclosed methods are likely to find application in automatically monitoring the large amounts of data associated with modern digital broadcasts.

Title: Device and method for 3D sampling with avian radar
Inventor: NOHARA TIMOTHY J
IPC: G01S7/41
Filed: 2012-09-07
Abstract: A 3D avian radar sampling system comprises a 3D volume scanning radar system and an avian track interpreter. The radar system tracks bird or other airborne targets within its local 3D surveillance volume which could be characterized by a cylinder with a typical range of 0 to 10 km and typical altitude of 0 to 10,000 ft above ground level. Special scanning methods are employed to ensure that volume revisit times are suitably short and track data produce 3D target trajectories, both of which are needed for avian activity reports to be meaningful and timely. The avian interpreter uses the track data from the volume scanning radar to create detailed avian activity reports that convey bird abundance and behavior within the 3D cylindrical volume on intervals including hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. Hourly activity reports (updated typically every 15 minutes) provide enhanced situational awareness of developing hazards and are actionable, allowing operators to dispatch wildlife control personnel to respond to threats. Older activity reports help uncover recurring patterns to guide management efforts. Applications include bird aircraft strike hazard (BASH) management and natural resource management. The apparatus and methods are equally suitable for other airborne targets such as general aviation aircraft and ultralights, making the invention appropriate for homeland security, as well as ground-based sense and avoid systems needed for unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

Title: Successive approximation ADC
Inventor: MICHAEL TERRENCE DURSTON
IPC: H03M1/46
Filed: 2014-12-03
Abstract: The resolution of a successive-approximation analogue-to-digital converter is increased beyond the resolution of the feedback DAC 48 by storing 54 the post-conversion residue at the input to the comparator 44 and adding this stored residue to the sampled input signal at the start of the next cycle. The recycled residues are accumulated until the accumulated residue exceeds a value sufficient to cause a change in the least significant bit, averaging of the output digital signal 52 over a number of cycles (figure 3b) providing an ADC output signal having improved resolution. The input signal and the residue may be sampled on capacitors (C1,C2, figure 5), the charge on the residue storing capacitor then being added to the charge on the input signal sampling capacitor. The residue accumulation technique allows lower clock rates and simpler filtering than comparable sigma-delta converters. The ADC may be used in a gyroscope or accelerometer using MEMS (micro-electromechanical sensor) devices.
