Title: Insert for cycling shoe
Inventor: BRADELEY CLIFTON
IPC: A43B13/12
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: The insert is one of a pair of devices which fits inside a cycling shoe for the foot to sit on. It allows the longitudinal axis of the forefoot to function efficiently relative to the rearfoot thereby decreasing loss of power. This is achieved by means of an extended platform underneath the forefoot to which the downward power is applied. The insert comprises a carbon fibre or plastics plate 5,7,(9) and includes a raised inner edge 7 which holds the forefoot in an inverted position. The front of the plate 5 forms the drive platform where the downward force is exerted. The front part 4 is glued to the plate and is for supporting the toes during pressure exertion on the plate 5.

Title: Deriving a frequency offset due to aging of a crystal oscillator in a mobile communication device
Inventor: ORMSON RICHARD
IPC: H03L7/14
Filed: 2004-03-10
Abstract: To reduce the frequency difference between a crystal oscillator 430 in a mobile communication device 400 and a signal received from a base station, a frequency correction 450 is applied to the crystal oscillator 430 to compensate for frequency offsets due to temperature, voltage and aging of the crystal. The mobile communication device 400 includes a frequency comparator 440 to calculate the difference between the frequency of the crystal oscillator 430 and the received signal, a temperature sensor 510, a voltage supply 460 and a memory 470 in which is stored the temperature dependence 480 and the voltage dependence 490 of the frequency of the crystal. After subtracting frequency offsets due to temperature and supply voltage from the calculated frequency difference, a long-term average of the remaining difference is taken, which would tend to remove Doppler effects upon the frequency difference, to provide the frequency offset due to aging.

Title: Using call forwarding to set up VoIP calls via the Internet
Inventor: GONZALEZ JOSE LUIS MERINO
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2007-08-06
Abstract: A proprietary internet converter (PIC) allows a calling party end-user device with internet access such as a WAP enabled mobile telephone, to initiate voice communication with a called party VoIP (Voice Over Internet protocol) end-user device. To do so, an Internet Device, ID (with a built-in PIC), needs to convert the protocols used by the calling party end-user device so that the switch that routes calls to the called party VoIP end-user device can understand the instructions sent from the calling party end-user device. The switch has a call forwarding function. The calling party enters the called party user name (e.g. ISP user name/contact or VoIP user name/contact) into a PIC web page, PICWP and the PIC then sets the calling party's call forwarding function on the switch so that an incoming call from the calling party is automatically forwarded called party user name. In a specific embodiment, the calling party has a call-in number (via which he may be contacted using a conventional telephone) and call forwarding settings associated with this VoIP account and the PIC is arranged to reconfigure his call forwarding settings such that calls to his call-in number are forwarded to the calling party user name entered into the PIC webpage. The webpage then provides a click-to-dial button which instigates dialing of the call-in number. Enables a device with only basic Internet functionality (eg a WAP phone) to make a VoIP call to a VoIP user by dialing a conventional telephone number.

In a filtering operation, water is passed in a forward direction until a pressure sensor measures that the water pressure on the filtered water side of the filter has dropped to a predetermined level, at which point water is forced through the filter in the reverse direction. Preferably an air blower 30 provides a supply of air bubbles that pass through the filter when water is forced through the filter in a reverse direction. Preferably the solar panel is a photovoltaic cell and the controller includes a maximum power point tracking unit configured to optimize the loading of the photovoltaic cell. Advantageously the water filtration system may be used in remote areas.
