Patent GB-0103903-D0 (GB)
Title: An open digital interface between sdr baseband processors and rf
IPC: H04B1/28
Filed: 2001-02-16
Abstract: A digital interface between analogue RF hardware and digital processing hardware which (a) defines how the analogue RF hardware and digital processing hardware send and receive digital data to one another and (b) is open in order to decouple the design of the analogue RF hardware from the design of the digital processing hardware. The adoption of such an interface will facilitate the uptake of software defined radio (SDR), both as a design-time and run-time technology, as it enables the production of analogue/RF components independently from the digital domain hardware and software.

Title: A transmission-origin mobile telephone capable of detecting the media types and formats of a multimedia message that are receivable by destination mobile
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2002-03-13
Abstract: A multimedia communication system is disclosed in which a mobile telephone that originates transmission can detect the media types and formats of a multimedia message that can be received by destination mobile telephones. Information regarding data formats that can be received by each mobile telephone is stored in an MMS user database server. The MMS user database server receives from the transmission-origin mobile telephone destination information and format information for each media type of the multimedia message that is to be transmitted and determines whether the multimedia message can be received at the transmission-destination mobile telephones based on this destination information and format information. The MMS user database server then notifies the transmission-origin mobile telephone the results of the determination, whereupon the transmission-origin mobile telephone determines whether to transmit the multimedia message without alteration or to modify the format of the multimedia message.

Patent GB-0302138-D0 (GB)
Title: Method of detecting a target
IPC: G01S13/524
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: A method for processing returns from a sensor, such as a radar system, in order to identify targets is provided. The method uses a track before detect routine to integrate data from several scans in order to give better discrimination. In running the track before detect routine however a number of possible target motions are postulated and the data combined accounting for such motions. A result above a threshold may then be indicative to a target present and moving with the postulated velocity. The method gives more accurate target detection as the combined data at the correct target motion postulate is more consistent than transient noise and clutter. Once a target has been identified it is preferably removed from the data set in searching for additional targets.

Title: Integrated procedure for partitioning network data services among multiple subscribers
IPC: H04L12/14
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for partitioning network data services among multiple subscribers uses information stored in several tables to define a plurality of independent networks where each independent network comprises a set of access ports and a unique set of destination addresses and is logically separate from all other independent networks so that no information can pass from one independent network to another independent network. When a subscriber makes a request to use an independent network, a subscriber key that is based on the subscriber identity and the network access port is used to determine whether the subscriber has permission to use the independent network. If the subscriber has permission to use the independent network, information retrieved from the tables is used to determine whether the source subscriber or a destination subscriber has control over the resource. If a destination subscriber has control over the resource, using information in the request to identify a destination subscriber and a response port; and if the source subscriber has control over the resource, using the identity to determine whether the source subscriber can access the resource.

Title: Assays utilizing improved chemiluminescent esters,thioesters and amides
IPC: C07D227/02
Filed: 1992-02-14
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, specific binding assays are disclosed which utilize an chemiluminescent compound, i.e., moiety, which has increased stability in aqueous solution. The chemiluminescent moiety is an ester, thioester or amide in which the ester, thioester or amide linkage is between (1) a heterocyclic ring or ring system containing a carbon atom to which the linkage is attached, wherein the heteroatom within the heterocyclic ring or ring system is in an oxidation state which renders such carbon atom susceptible to attack by peroxide or molecular oxygen to form an intermediate which decays to produce chemiluminescence, and (2) an aryl ring or ring system. The aryl ring or ring system contains at least one substituted six-member ring. The substituted six-member ring has two or more substituent groups, where at least two of said two or more substituent groups sterically hinder hydrolysis of said linkage. One or more of the substituent groups which sterically hinder hydrolysis of said linkage may be an electron withdrawing group. The substituted six-member ring may have one or more additional substituent groups in addition to the substituent groups which sterically hinder hydrolysis of the linkage. Such additional substituent groups may also be an electron withdrawing group. The carbon atom in the heterocyclic ring or ring system, to which the linkage is attached, may also have a secondary substituent of the formula RnX-, where X is selected from the group consisting of O, N, S and C, where R is any group, and where n is a number such that X has proper valency.

Patent GB-9321256-D0 (GB)
Title: Coin validators
IPC: G07D5/08
Filed: 1993-10-14
Abstract: In a coin detection system, a coin passes between conductive plates which form a capacitor, which provides part of the frequency controlling capacitance of an LC tuned oscillator circuit. The presence of a coin between the conductive plates alters the capacitance, and consequently alters the output frequency of the oscillator circuit. The oscillator output is supplied to the clock of a counter, optionally following frequency division in a frequency divider. The counter counts the number of clock pulses received in a 10 ms period, and the count value is provided to a microprocessor via a shift register. The count value will be a measure of the frequency of the output of the oscillator. The microprocessor uses the output to determine whether a valid coin has been received, and if so, what the denomination of the valid coin is.
