Patent GB-2422576-A (GB)
Title: Ring binder cover with window and pocket
Inventor: PHILLIPS PETER
IPC: B42F7/02
Filed: 2005-01-26
Abstract: The ring binder has a translucent pocket 12 on the outside of the front cover 4 for receiving a user-designed sheet 14. It is difficult to insert the sheet into a conventional pocket. The sheet commonly rucks up as it is inserted. Alternatively, the front cover is provided with a translucent leaf, attached to the cover at one edge. The opposite edge is arranged to tuck behind a flap on the cover. To insert the user-designed sheet, the leaf is untucked from behind the flap, the sheet is placed behind the leaf and that is re-tucked behind the flap. The file has front and rear covers and includes a carrier 16 comprising two leaves joined at one edge, at least one of the leaves 18 being see through. The front cover has a see through window 10 and a pocket 12 arranged for the carrier to slide into it so that the carrier's see through leaf can be seen through the window. In this arrangement, the user-generated sheet can be inserted between the two leaves of the carrier which facilitates insertion into the pocket and is more secure in the pocket than it would be behind the tucked leaf.

Title: Device and user registration
Inventor: SUZUKI NAOSHI
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 2005-05-25
Abstract: In a device registration system, user authentication and device authentication of a CE device are executed in a single session, and the user and the CE device are associated with each other if these authentications succeed. A CE device obtains information for user authentication from an IC card and a portable memory, and sends the information and device authentication information to a device registration server. The device registration server sends the information for user authentication to a user authentication server, and the device authentication information to a device authentication server. The user authentication server executes user authentication, and sends user information of the user to the device registration server if the authentication succeeds. The device authentication server executes device authentication, and sends device information of the device to the device registration server if the authentication succeeds. The device registration server associates the user information and the device information with each other.

Title: Instrumentation for a downhole deployment valve
Inventor: HOSIE DAVID G
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2003-11-04
Abstract: The present invention generally relates to apparatus and methods for instrumentation associated with a downhole deployment valve 110 or a separate instrumentation sub. In one aspect, a DDV 110 in a casing string is closed in order to isolate an upper section of a wellbore from a lower section.

Title: A method of enabling a wireless device to make a network connection without using a network operators home location register
Inventor: CAMILLERI MICHAEL
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2007-03-07
Abstract: A wireless device can initiate a network connection without using a network operator's home location register. The wireless device sends data that defines a call request to a server and the server decides on the appropriate routing over all available networks for that call request. Unlike a conventional HLR, the server can receive communications from the device using any one of several different protocols, and is not limited to the MAP (mobile application part) protocol. For example, the wireless device can use SMS or HTTP over the internet to communicate with the server. The server then determines the appropriate least cost routing.

Title: Multi-protocol alarm processor allowing external access
Inventor: CHU CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2007-03-14
Abstract: An Alarm Access Controller 130 allows an external third party service provider 150 access to an enterprise's internal resources (servers etc.) 126-128 running different protocols and generating a variety of alarms, authenticating access only to the vendor product affected via a federated identity. This provides a single point of inbound/outbound access to all service providers (150,160 or 170) and reduces the administrative burden on the enterprise in providing temporary authenticated access for many different technicians or expert systems in order to correct the problem which generated the alarm. The alarm processor (300, fig. 3) determines which type or time period of access to grant based on the severity of the alarm, and generates an alarm notification signal and a unique identifier ("trouble ticket") for the alarm.

Title: A brazing piece comprising a composite material including an inorganic flux
Inventor: OGILVY ANDREW JOSEF WIDAWSKI
IPC: B23K35/02
Filed: 2007-03-14
Abstract: A self-fluxing brazing piece is made from a composite material comprising at least one inorganic material distributed in a metal or metal alloy matrix, the inorganic material forming a flux during brazing to promote the formation of a thermally induced metallic bond. The matrix may be an aluminium silicon brazing alloy and the inorganic material may be a potassium-fluoro-aluminate or potassium-aluminium-fluoride flux. The piece is made by spray forming. The spray forming apparatus 10 preferably consists of a sealable spray chamber 12 with a tundish 14 filled with molten metal or metal alloy and a hopper 16 containing particles of the inorganic flux material. The tundish 14 issues a stream of molten metal or metal alloy into the spray chamber 12 which is converted into a spray of atomised droplets by atomising gas jets (not shown). The particles in the hopper 16 are injected into the spray chamber 12 to merge with the atomised metal or metal alloy droplets, the combined spray impacting on a collection plate 20 to form a billet (22, figure 1B) of braze material which can be further shaped as desired.
