Title: System and method for use of override keys for location services
Inventor: HAVINIS THEODORE
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 1999-04-19
Abstract: A telecommunications system and method are disclosed for implementing Location Override Key(s) (LOKs) within location services in order to determine whether certain checks on subscriber limitations and/or system default behavior are applicable or not for a particular location request. Each LOK can either have the value override or not override associated therewith, and each Location Application (LA) can be associated with a particular value of an LOK. In addition, an LOK can be accompanied by one or more addition parameters related to the particular LOK. For example, location services can provide LAs with a Privacy Override Key (POK), which can have a value of "override" or "not override". If the POK is set to "override", the privacy settings of the subscriber to be positioned shall be overridden for the particular positioning request in most cases only if the subscriber to be positioned is in the same Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) as the Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) that received the positioning request.

Title: Irregular surface goggles lens for use with removable films
Inventor: HARDING LESTER MARTIN
IPC: A42B3/26
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: A goggles lens 1 has one or more indentations or projections 2 along its external surface with the irregular surface area being underneath the standard location for roll off strip 3. These projections can be mounted onto the lens in the form of wire strip, or produced as an integral part of the lens and are suitable for use in motocross and other activities where goggles are worn with a removable film. This film helps to maintain clear vision throughout a race by allowing the rider to pull new film from roll holder 4, usually by means of a pull cord mechanism. The projections prevent moisture between the tear off strip and lens creating surface tension and hence allows the film to move freely.

Patent GB-2372918-A (GB)
Title: Encoding of signal components
Inventor: UBALE ANIL WAMANRAO
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2001-10-23
Abstract: A high degree of compression can be achieved in audio and image coding systems by using a multiple-stage lossless encoding process having low computational cost that does not require high-accuracy pre-defined probability distribution functions of the information to be compressed. The multiple-stage encoding process classifies the signal components to be compressed into one of several classifications according to signal component value. Signal components placed into higher-level classifications are represented by tokens (e.g. C1) in the lower-level classifications. Each stage of the encoding process forms groups of signal components and tokens and applies a multi-dimensional encoding process to the groups. The dimension of the coding process is equal to the size of the group to which it is applied, and is chosen to balance computational requirements of the encoding process against compression performance. The number of elements in each group varies inversely with the range of values covered by the group.

Title: Automatic image cropping
Inventor: SOBOL ROBERT E
IPC: H04N1/21
Filed: 2002-01-02
Abstract: An image cropping system 10 utilizes memory 24, an object detector 18, and an image cropper 21. A set of digital data 64 that defines a graphical image is stored in the memory 24. The object detector 18 analyzes the set of digital data 64 and automatically identifies a portion of the digital data 64 that defines an image of a particular object. The image cropper 21 then uses the identified portion to determine a position of the object image within the graphical image. Based on the position of the object image within the graphical image, the image cropper 21 automatically crops the digital data 64. In this regard, the position of the object image within the graphical image serves as a reference for determining which portions of the set of digital data 64 should be cropped.

Title: Cement comprising particulate phenol formaldehyde resin
Inventor: JAMES SIMON
IPC: C09K8/46
Filed: 2002-02-14
Abstract: A cement composition comprises cement; water; and a particulate, phenol-formaldehyde material. The particulate, phenol-formaldehyde material can be a partially or essentially fully cross-linked resin. Preferably, the particles have a highly cross-linked shell and a partially cross-linked interior. The particles may be spherical, plate-like, ribbon-like or fibrous and their size may vary from less than 10 microns up to 300 microns. The solid components of the cement composition are combined to optimise the packing volume fraction. The use of a solid particulate material means that it can contribute to the physical properties of the cement as well as to the chemical behaviour. Highly cross linked resins are preferred where chemical and physical stability are required. Material having a molecular weight of greater than 10,000 is often preferred. The cement composition can be used to cement oil, gas or geothermal wells where high temperatures, pressures and physical stresses are encountered and the cement is exposed to high salinity brines and hydrocarbon formation fluids.
