Title: Symbol mapping for browser based data retrieval
Inventor: ALDERSON IAN
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2003-12-05
Abstract: Real-time financial data from a number of independent data sources is displayed in separate frames (11-14) within a single browser window (4). Each frame (11-14) displays data from a different source, each source having its own symbology for representing the data. The web page (4) which provides the browser display includes mapping algorithms for mapping between the symbology used by different sites. A user can change one symbol (15) within one frame and the change is automatically propagated to all of the frames pre-selected by the user. Mapping may be effected in addition to synthesising a link using a resource identifier.

Title: Data transmission over a network
Inventor: STURROCK OLIVER
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2004-08-18
Abstract: Re-establishing a transmission of data from a first station to a second station involves pausing transmission of data from a first station to a second station following an indication that a communication session is inactive. The first station receives an indication to the effect that the inactive session has been re-established and that data is to be transmitted then sends only a portion of data that has not been sent. The indication that the communication session is inactive may be provided by non-receipt at said first station of an anticipated transmission (e.g. acknowledgment). The transmitted data may consist of transactional data and streamed data and the step of sending only a portion of the data that has not been sent during the transmission pause may comprise: sending all transactional data that has not already been sent, and sending only streamed data that has not been superseded by other streamed data. The first station may be a real time data server/provider.

Title: Band-gap voltage reference start up circuit
Inventor: COLMAN DEREK
IPC: G05F3/30
Filed: 2006-09-29
Abstract: A bandgap reference circuit comprises an operational amplifier 1 connected to amplify the difference in the voltages developed by two reference blocks that may comprise resistors 7,10 and diode-connected bipolar transistors 8,11 that are supplied by two current sources 3,4 that are controlled by the output of op-amp 1, that also controls output stage 12. Start-up circuitry comprises a latch 54 which operates a switch 53 that initially controls the current sources, until the latch changes state in response to the output exceeding a threshold. Latch 54 may comprise a Schmitt trigger and switch 53 may be a weak MOS transistor whose length is greater than its width so that the currents in sources 3,4 increase over a period controlled by stabilising capacitor 48. Initialisation may be triggered by making a power down signal PD low, after which the switch takes control of the current sources during start up. The band gap reference circuit can provide an output that is independent of temperature and is suitable for use with supply voltages less than 1.2V. The start-up circuit ensures that that the reference circuit does not adopt an undesirable stable state (fig 6, V3) and will reset to a desired stable state (fig 7, V2) should supply voltage fluctuations occur.

Title: Method for determining Total Acid Number (TAN)
Inventor: SMITH DESMOND
IPC: G01N33/28
Filed: 2007-02-21
Abstract: A method for determining the TAN (total acid number) value of a hydrocarbon-containing composition, in which the sample is cleared of free water, heated to an elevated temperature in an oxygen free environment, conditioned at the elevated temperature for an extended period of time, cooled down to a temperature near to room temperature, and titrated against alcoholic potassium hydroxide and the TAN value is calculated. The conditioning at high temperature is thought to increase the proportion of acid species available to the base and so better represent the true acid number. The TAN derived can be used as a predictor of corrosiveness and the formation of soaps both of which can cause operational problems.
