Patent GB-2418796-A (GB)
Title: Internet Protocol Media Gateway (IPMG)
Inventor: LAU PERCY
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2004-10-01
Abstract: When the IPMG registers with the central call server, some IPMG configuration data in the call server are downloaded to the IPMG. These elements of configuration data are used to map the configured resources or devices in the call server to the hardware in the IPMG and vice versa. This mapping is utilised to identify the source and destination hardware during call processing. This process will enable the call to be made from any type of phone to any other type of phone. In order to set up a speech path between two traditional phones in the same IPMG the central call server sends a speech path setup message to the IPMG switches on a two way speech path between the originating telephone and the terminating telephone. To clear down the speech path, the central call server sends a speech path clear down message to the IPMG. The IPMG clears down the speech path between the two telephones thereby effecting disconnection between the phones. Invention can be used when migrating from a POTS network to an IP based network.

Title: Laminated stator with cooling fins
Inventor: TURNER WILLIAM BRIAN
IPC: H02K1/20
Filed: 2004-09-01
Abstract: A stator (200) of an alternator is made up of a number of laminations (210). Each lamination (210) has a body that is substantially annular, but that includes a number of cooling fin portions (270) projecting radially outward therefrom, such that when a group (280) of the laminations are axially-stacked, the cooling fin portions (270) combine to make up complete cooling fins. To form the stator (200), several of the groups (280) of laminations are axially juxtaposed, but with each group (280) being angularly staggered with respect to the group or groups (280) juxtaposed therewith. Thus, staggered rows of cooling fins are formed on the outside of the stator (200). To minimize material, each lamination (210) does not include any cooling fin portions (270) that project beyond two sides of a notional square that just encloses the body of the lamination (210). However, cooling fin portions (270) are provided on each lamination (210) that projects beyond the other two sides of that notational square.

Title: Text entry display for intelligent transcription of voicemail into text message
Inventor: DOULTON DANIEL MICHAEL
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 2004-04-22
Abstract: A caller initiates a voice call to a mobile telephone, which is diverted to a voicemail server where the caller leaves a voice message. The voice message is converted into an audio file format, which is sent or streamed over a wide area network to a voice to text transcription system comprising a network of computers. One of the networked computers plays back the audio file to a human operator and displays a text entry box, into which the operator transcribes the original voice message, and voice file controls, which enable the operator to play and pause playback of the voice message. At least some of the information in the message is automatically inserted into the transcribed message by the transcription system. The text message is finally sent to the mobile telephone.

Title: Apparatus for controlling the temperature of fuel supplied to an engine
Inventor: FERRARI SVETLANA
IPC: F02M31/16
Filed: 2006-04-03
Abstract: Apparatus 10 for controlling the temperature of fuel supplied to an engine comprises a first inlet 20 for receiving fuel from a fuel tank 210; a second inlet 30 for receiving fuel returned from an engine; a first outlet 40 for passing fuel to an engine and a second outlet 50 for passing fuel to a fuel tank. A valve is also provided for directing fuel received from the second inlet 30 to one or both of the first and second outlets 40, 50 wherein the valve is arranged to vary the proportion of fuel directed to the first and second outlets.

Title: Multi-output harmonic laser and methods employing same
Inventor: SUN YUNLONG
IPC: H01S3/0941
Filed: 2005-03-25
Abstract: A solid-state laser (10a) has a laser resonator (20a) with output ports (22a1, 22b1) at both ends to provide two separate laser micromachining beams (42a1, 42b1). A set of wavelength converters (26a1, 26b1) can be employed to convert the laser mino-machining beams to harmonic wavelength outputs, thus reducing the risk of damage to the wavelength converters and enabling higher total average harmonic c power to be generated from a single laser. The laser mino-machining beams can be different to perform different laser operations independently or can be adapted to have substantially identical parameters to permit simultaneous parallel high-quality laser operations on substantially identical workpieces (54), or the laser micro-machining beams can be combined to provide a single laser system output (42e). The two laser machining beams can be further split or multiplexed to suit particular applications.

Title: Use of the dynamic downhole measurements as lithology indicatos
Inventor: JOGI PUSHKAR NATH
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2006-02-17
Abstract: A drilling system provides indications of the lithology of the formation being drilled by dynamically measuring at least one parameter of interest that is affected by the lithology of the formation being drilled. Suitably positioned sensors make dynamic measurements of parameters such as downhole weight on bit bit torque, bit revolutions, rate of penetration and bit axial acceleration. One or more processors use the sensor measurements in conjunction with predetermined lithological models to determine whether the measurements indicate a change in formation lithology. Suitable models can be on derived expressions such as rock drillability, drilling response, dynamic drilling response, normalized or dimensionless torque; and formation shear strength. The lithological indications provided by the processor can be used to adjust drilling parameters, steer the BHA, monitor BHA health, and provide depth locations for bed boundaries and formation interfaces.
