Patent GB-2392351-A (GB)
Title: Communication infrastructure and mobile user equipment
Inventor: STENTON STUART PHILIP
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2003-07-30
Abstract: A mobile communication device 7 has a wireless local area network (WLAN) chipset and a cellular telecommunication modem set to enable both cellular and WLAN connectivity. The device receives authorisation to use one or more WLANs 3 via the cellular network 2 and then uses the WLAN chip set to access the one or more specified WLANs 3. In a communications infrastructure certain WLANs 3 may be selectively activated in response to a request from the cellular network 2 when a mobile device 7 may be able to use the WLAN 3. Preferably the determination of whether the mobile device 7 may be able to use a WLAN 3 can be made in dependence on the location of the mobile device in a cell 6. The WLANs 3 may be connected to the cellular network 2 over a private data network, possibly a virtual private network. The WLANs 3 may be arranged in a matrix which at least partly falls within the coverage of the cellular network 2. The WLANs 3 are preferably registered with a wireless internet service provider (WISP), which may be the cellular network provider. The cellular network 2 may provide low bandwidth services to mobile devices 7 and the WLANs 3 may provide high bandwidth services.

Title: Rotatable wedge shaped door stop
Inventor: BOILEAU IRENE
IPC: E05C17/54
Filed: 2003-09-24
Abstract: A door stop comprised a resilient wedge shaped body having a first thicker edge (3) and a second thinner edge (4) and a means (at 5) for securing the wedge to the floor in the path (7) of the door (6) such that it is rotatable between a position where the thicker edge is in the path of the door and a position where the thinner edge is in the path of the door. In use, when the thicker edge is in the path of the door it forms an abutment surface, stopping the door. When the thinner edge is in the path of the door, the door may pass partially over the thinner edge and when downward force is applied to the body, the body is compressed to allow the door to pass completely over the upper surface (2) of the body.
Patent GB-2391388-A (GB)
Title: Electronic structure
Inventor: ADAMS CHARLOTTE
IPC: H01L21/311
Filed: 2002-03-25
Abstract: A method for fabricating a dual damascene coper interconnect which electrically contacts a damascene tungsten wiring level (190) comprising forming a first layer on a semiconductor substrate, a silicon nitride layer (140) on the first layer, and a silicon dioxide layer (150) on the silicon nitride layer. The first layer includes damascene tungsten interconnect regions separated by electrically insulating material. A continuous space (630) is formed by etching two contact throughs (910) through the silicon dioxide and silicon nitride layers to expose damascene tungsten interconnect regions, and by etching a top portion of the silicon dioxide layer between the two contact throughs. A reduced-height portion of the silicon dioxide layer remains between the two contact troughs. The continuous space is filled with damascene copper. The resulting dual damascene copper interconnect electrically contacts the exposed damascene tungsten interconnect regions.

Title: Method of generating colour performance profile for scanner
Inventor: FREEMAN TIMOTHY JOHN
IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 2003-11-05
Abstract: A colour performance profile, such as an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile describing the colour response of a scanner, is generated by scanning a test image 92, mounted on a scanner lid background surface. The colour test image may be movable such that, during normal document scanning, it does not face the scanning surface 88; test image 92 may be part of a feeder belt 90, rotating to retract the colour test image to a hidden, standby state. Positioning of the colour test chart 92 may be measured by the position of a monochromatic reference band. The colour performance profile may be attached to a scanned image either automatically or by user selection. Generation of the colour performance profile can be initiated each time the scanner is switched on, after a certain scan number, by an event such as periodic, routine maintenance or after a predetermined time period.

Title: Dynamic pressure probe holder for combustor with damping tube arranged to avoid condensation
Inventor: HAN FEI
IPC: G01L19/06
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: A device and method for measuring the dynamic pressure of a combustion chamber of, for example, a gas turbine machine. The dynamic pressure signal is transmitted from a high temperature environment via a waveguide passage 18 to a damping coil 86. A dynamic pressure probe holder has a holder body 16 housing a pressure sensor 48 operatively coupled to the pressure sensing passage. An elongated acoustic damping coil 86 or tube is coupled so as to be in flow communication with the pressure sensing passage. The damping coil is disposed in heat exchange relation to a heat source so as to avoid condensation formation in the coil. The coil may be coaxially wound about the holder body. To prevent further condensation the damping coil may be in flow communication with a source of hot air to provide a gentle purge of the system.

Title: Calibration filters
Inventor: ROESTEN TAGE
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2004-04-03
Abstract: A method of deriving a calibration filter for electromagnetic data is provided. The method comprises providing a source (21, 22) of electromagnetic radiation and subsequently measuring components of the source electromagnetic field (23, 24, 25) at a receiver when the source is sufficiently close to the receiver that the down-going signal dominates over the up-going signal reflected from features below the receiver. Such a measurement can be used in frequency domain analysis (26, 27, 30) to extract the down-going signal component and derive a calibration filter for the receiver. The method is repeated (28, 31) for each receiver used in an electromagnetic sounding survey.

Title: Protection of confidential information using automated deletion
Inventor: BRAZIER JOHN RICHARDSON TINDAL
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2005-11-16
Abstract: A process or method for protection of confidential information stored on computers. It has an automated challenge-response function that may appear in different guises and entraps unauthorised users into activating the deletion system. The challenge-response program activates a deletion function that operates covertly. Both functions protect their operation from interference by locking out user interface functionality. The system uses a central encrypted database that is supported by a simple configuration program, which can also present itself in different guises. The deletion program deletes information and metainformation about the selected data and then removes all traces of the process or method so that the attacker has no knowledge there was ever information on the computer or that it was protected. The system may be activated by an interactive function that by its design gives a graphical warning to the operator. The system may be embodied as software or as a device. The challenge may be password based or pictorial based. Alternatively input from keyboard, mouse, biometric device, token, identity card or timers may all be used. The protection process may be involved during system startup (boot) or system log-on.

Title: Gaming machines using selectable scripts for bonus games
Inventor: BOYD SCOTT A
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2004-03-22
Abstract: A game bonus can be initiated by a reel symbol combination; an example is the initiator symbol that occurs on the base game. Once a combination is hit, a plurality of scripts may be chosen randomly. A select script takes a player through a predetermined bonus sequence. The bonus sequence can be located on a video screen, or on a top box. Each script may request player interaction at each let of the current step before moving on to the next step. Each step may have the same value or it may have different values, with the defining difference being on the method of awarding the sum of the values of each step of the script. With multiple scripts associated with the same sum value, it is possible to provide the appearance of luck and/or skill to a player that may never see the same bonus sequence twice and thus would be unable to predict the outcome.
