Title: Telecommunications system for routing communications between mobile telecommunications networks
Inventor: DOWDS MARK
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2005-06-30
Abstract: A telecommunications system including a first (home) mobile telecommunications network A, a second (roaming) mobile telecommunications network B and a third (virtual) mobile telecommunications network C. The virtual network C uses the radio access network of network B to establish wireless communications with a mobile telecommunications device. When a mobile telecommunications device with home network in network A is roaming in network B, the home network A instructs the mobile telecommunications device to register with the virtual network C. IP routing servers 29, 29C in networks A and C enable voice over IP calls to be routed between home network A and the mobile telecommunications device through the virtual network C via the Internet 31.

Title: Business software applications system and method
Inventor: JANI ALI
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: A business software application system and method integrates an e-mail management system, an e-mail client system, an HTML page generator system and a credit card payment processing system. The mail management method and system tracks correspondence exchanged with external entities such as customers and vendors, through e-mail messages, and the internal users of the system and the e-mail messages are then desirably imported into business software (of various types) and linkages created to such external entities within business software, from the E-mail Clients. The e-mail client enables organizations to store e-mail communication as part of the business software database and those stored e-mail communications would be available to any user of the software within the organization, so that the communication carried out historically can be referenced, retrieved and/or reused. The HTML page generator can be used by any business software application User and uses pre-defined HTML Templates with proprietary iTags that are installed along with the product on the client system. The HTML page generator replaces these iTags with dynamic data while creating the static HTML pages. These static HTML pages can then be submitted to search engines in order to increase traffic to an online shop. The credit card payment processing system has a credit card transaction interface that interacts with another payment processing software or payment gateway to process the transactions. The credit card payment processing system allows the business software application system to interface with another payment processing software or payment gateway although the format and communication protocol used by the Business Software System is different from the format and protocol required by the payment gateway or Payment Processor.

Title: Performance monitoring of a pipelined processor using instruction records
Inventor: MCCORMICK JAMES E
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2006-03-29
Abstract: Performance monitoring data relating to the instructions of a pipelined processor is stored. When an event occurs, the data records of the individual instructions are searched to find the data relating to an instruction associated with the event. The search starts with the instruction which is being retired when the event occurs. The data may be the pipeline stage, the instruction pointer, the cycle count, the instruction pointer validity or the pipeline flush status. The event may be a cache miss, an instruction retirement, a pipeline hazard stall or a pipeline recirculation. The storing of data may be suspended when the event occurs. The suspension may be delayed for a number of clock cycles after the event.

Title: Cryocooler thermal link
Inventor: LASKARIS EVANGELOS TRIFON
IPC: F25D19/00
Filed: 2007-09-05
Abstract: A cryocooler thermal link 76 includes a first end plate 84, configured to be thermally connected to a cryocooler 74, and a second end plate 88, configured to be thermally connected to a cold mass 72. A wall encloses a space 80 between the first and the second end plates, the wall having a first end 82 attached to the first end plate and a second end 86 attached to the second end plate. A working fluid 90, such as helium, hydrogen, neon or nitrogen, is positioned within the enclosed space. Preferably, the first end plate is a condenser plate and the second end plate is an evaporator plate.

Title: A PWM modulator for a Cartesian transmitter
Inventor: BRYANT CARL
IPC: H03F3/217
Filed: 2008-12-10
Abstract: An efficient and linear IQ transmitter is implemented without a Cartesian to polar converter, which demands a wide bandwidth, or a polar transmitter, which requires synchronization of the phase and amplitude signals. Pulse-width modulators 402 and 404 produce PWM signals using baseband in-phase and quadrature signals I, Q and respective phase-displaced RF carriers. The pulse reshaper 406 (figure 7) converts the I and Q PWM signals to a differential QPWM (quadrature PWM) signal comprising a pair of binary signals A, B. The signals A, B are amplified by respective switching amplifiers 1330 and 1332. A difference signal representing the desired Cartesian modulated RF signal for transmission is derived by the filters 1334,1336 and combiner 1338. Linearizing feedback 1342 may be provided.
