Title: Wireless access point and method
Inventor: PRAKASHAN SUTTON
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 2015-05-15
Abstract: A wireless connection is established between a wireless access point (AP) and a user device. A page request process is invoked on the user device thereby causing the user device to send a page request to the wireless AP. The wireless AP sends content data to the user device in response to the page request from the user device. The content data is stored locally in a memory of the wireless access point. The page request process may be a captive portal process. The content may be sent from the wireless access point to the user device whilst the wireless access point is disconnected from other network elements. The content data may be downloaded onto the wireless access point periodically from a remote server. A peripheral device connected to the wireless access point may be controlled in accordance to user data. The peripheral device may be a display.

Title: A method for transmitting and/or receiving an optical signal
Inventor: LIONEL WILLIAM JOHN KENT
IPC: H04B10/80
Filed: 2017-03-28
Abstract: Transmitting an optical signal (40) through a fluid, such as sea water (20), whereby a pressure wave (30) is used to alter the refractive index (36) of the fluid thus forming a waveguide through which the optical signal (40) is transmitted. The difference between the refractive index (36) within the pressure wave (30) and that of the fluid outside it (38) should be sufficient to achieve total internal reflections of components (42) of the optical signal (40). The pressure wave (or acoustic wave) (30) may be set up between a transducer array (22) around the optical emitter (or laser) (24) and an acoustic mirror (28) around the optical receiver (26), so as to form a half-wavelength standing wave (fig. 3). Alternatively the pressure wave may take the form of a Bessel beam (68) (or an approximation thereto) converging at the optical receiver (66) (fig. 5).
