Title: Voice over internet communications
Inventor: ZIMMERMANN RAINER
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: A network, e.g. LAN 2 supports VOIP for fixed terminals 3-6 using an appropriate switch 6 and interface 7. To accommodate mobile terminals 10, within a cellular network having base stations 8 and 9, a mobility proxy 11 is provided.

Title: Food press with centre filler
Inventor: MAITLAND-KRAFT PHILIP
IPC: A23P1/08
Filed: 2004-06-02
Abstract: A food press consists of three parts - a frame (drawing A), a centre block (drawing A), which fits into the cavity of the frame, and a silicone tray (drawing B), which fits into the cavity after the block has been removed. The block is shaped in the form of a T. After the cavity of the frame has been filled halfway with a foodstuff, the stem of the T is pressed into the foodstuff to form an indentation, which is filled with a filling. The remaining volume of the cavity is then filled to the top of the frame with the original foodstuff. Using the flat surface of the head of the T, the filled block of foodstuff is pressed out of the frame. The silicone tray is used when a foodstuff is to be baked or frozen.

Title: Aligning image sensor package in camera.
Inventor: KUROSAWA YUICHI
IPC: G03B17/02
Filed: 2004-07-29
Abstract: A CCD image sensor unit 10 comprising an image detector (113, Figure 3) mounted on a reference plate 100 is fixed to supports 82 formed on the body of a digital camera (1, Figure 1). The contacting surfaces of supports 82 are ground down to offset a positional error of the image sensor 113 on the image sensor package, ensuring that the imaging surface of the sensor lies in the optical focal plane of the camera. Figure 6B illustrates the grinding process using a milling machine (300) to selectively shorten the support bosses 82, compensating for any angle of inclination defect between the image sensor 113 and the mounting plate 100, as measured by a microscope (200, Figure 6A).

Title: Updating data in a dual port memory
Inventor: JOHNSTONE COLIN
IPC: G11C7/00
Filed: 2005-05-13
Abstract: The invention concerns the use of a dual port memory 4 to count the occurrences of a signal at the same power level. Signal levels are converted to addresses and each address is used to read a memory location. The value read out is incremented by 1 in an external circuit 5 and this value is written back into the memory at one input. Thus a count of the number of occurrences of the same values is made. One port, the first say, is used to provide the output 24 for the write back. On a part of a cycle the second port is normally used as the input 26 for write back. However, if an address is the same as a previous address then the first port 9 is used. The invention may be used in producing Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) curves for signal power in eg radio frequency applications.

Title: Measuring a transit metric in a network
Inventor: SCOBBIE DONALD MACGREGOR
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2005-07-20
Abstract: A measurement system comprises a pair of probes (112, 116) located at different points (114, 118) in a communications network (100). The probes (112, 116) generate transaction records related to messages observed, an exchange of the messages constituting a transaction. The transaction records are passed to a data store (202), the data store (202) being mined by a correlator engine (208) to match transaction records. The timestamps contained in the matching transaction records obtained are used to calculate a transit metric by a measurement engine (210).

Title: Messenger vessels to indicate downhole conditions
Inventor: JENKINS CHARLES RODERICK
IPC: E21B47/01
Filed: 2002-12-14
Abstract: Messenger vessels 60 are programmed or imprinted with signal information and then positioned releasably in a downhole location. A sensing and releasing system 22 senses the occurrence of a downhole condition and releases the vessels to be entrained in the flow of production or drilling fluid and carried to the surface where their presence is detected 24 and their signal interpreted using a codebook. Typically, the signal comprises their original location in the well and a threshold value that a certain variable has exceeded. They may provide information about pressures, temperatures, compositions and levels of equipment wear or activity. The messenger vessels may be microdots or may contain radio frequency tags that are stimulated to emit induced radio fields by a combined radio emitter and detector 70. The vessels may include a radio frequency devices that acquires substantially all energy needed for operation by exposure to externally created electromagnetic field, such as an RF tag or simple dipole antenna. The downhole location may be on the wall of the borehole or casing, with the vessels held by release mechanisms 50-56, or on a downhole tool such as a perforator (figure 8).

Title: Vertically folding handtruck and method of construction
Inventor: BURNHAM ARTHUR R
IPC: B62B1/04
Filed: 2004-07-21
Abstract: A hand truck and method of construction therefor includes laterally spaced side rails having channels facing inwardly toward one another for receipt of a slide latch. The side rails define an upper frame section and a lower frame section connected together by hinges for folding movement of the upper frame section from an operative position to a folded position. The slide latch is carried by the upper frame section for sliding movement toward the lower frame section to releaseably lock the lower and upper frame sections in their operative position, and for sliding movement away from the lower frame section to allow the upper frame section to be folded relative to the lower frame section. A first stop member and a second stop member cooperate to limit the movement of the slide latch to prevent removal of the slide latch from the upper frame section.
