Patent GB-2526557-A (GB)
Title: Power cables
Inventor: TANNER DAVID ROBERT
IPC: H01R11/30
Filed: 2014-05-27
Abstract: A power cable, such as a jumper lead 3c provides an alternative power supply from an electrical conductor rail 7 to a gapped electrically-powered train carriage, enabling the carriage to traverse the gap until collector shoes of the carriage are brought back into electrically contact with the conductor rail 7. The power cable comprises: a first connector at one end of the cable that electrically connects with a corresponding connector on the carriage; and a second connector, or jumper shoe 6c, having a contact portion 12 at the other end of the cable to be electrically connected, and removably secured, to the conductor rail 7. The second electrical connector 6c further includes a housing and a terminal portion to connect to the power cable 3c. The contact portion 12 may be secured to the conductor rail 7 via magnets 19 embedded or integrated into the contact portion 12 or by a mechanical means (e.g. clamp, chuck, vice, etc.). By enabling the jumper shoe 6c to be removably secured to the conductor rail 7, an operator does not have to support the cable 3c and may retreat to a safe distance whilst the rail 7 is energised.

Title: A system for providing product-discovery information and a mobile-transaction platform incorporating the same
Inventor: LAU MAN FAI CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2014-09-01
Abstract: A system for providing product-discovery information comprises plural beacon devices 230,240,250,260, such Bluetooth low energy devices, installed in a trading site. Broadcasting a beacon signal by the devices causes plural zones 235-265 to be established. A mobile-computing device is configured to determine, based on detecting any received beacon signal, whether it is inside any zone. When the mobile-computing device is inside a zone, it determines a zone identifier thereof and sends a request having the determined zone identifier and a customer identifier to a first backend server. The first backend server returns information of selected products available at one or more places associated with the zone as the product-discovery information, the selected products being selected only from product items associated with the consumer identifier. At least one beacon-generating device 235 is installed such that there is one zone covering an entrance of the trading site and at least part of the zone is outside the trading site, thereby allowing the mobile-computing device to obtain the product-discovery information before entering into the trading site.
