Patent GB-2419007-A (GB)
Title: Customisation of applications on a computing device
Inventor: REIK MATTHIAS
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2005-10-05
Abstract: A computing device comprises an application framework that handles both UI controls and user input and which provides user interface (UI) services required by applications. Embedded links are established between uniquely identifiable controls and uniquely identifiable tasks or service requests, which are stored in a data store of the device. When a control is invoked, the store is examined to identify any embedded links that uniquely reference that control. The control is then modified to allow a user or operator to additionally select an option relating to the tasks or services attached to the identified embedded links and the application framework issues the identified task or service request when the user or operator selects the additional option that has been added to the control.

Title: Revolution counter for wrist exerciser
Inventor: CHUANG YUN YU
IPC: A63B23/14
Filed: 2005-10-11
Abstract: A revolution counter for wrist exerciser includes a generator module, at least a revolution detection element pair, a wireless transmission module, and wireless receiver 50. The generator module, the detection elements, and the wireless transmission module are arranged between a rotor and a stationary casing of the wrist exerciser. The rotation of the rotor with respect to the casing induces a voltage in the generator module, which is supplied to the detection elements and the wireless transmission module. The detection elements detect the rotation of the rotor and generate a signal associated with data of the rotation to the wireless transmission module. The wireless transmission module converts the signal into corresponding data and transmits the data in a wireless manner. The wireless receiver 50 receives the data and displays the data in a display device or transmits the data to an external electronic device.

Patent GB-2426670-A (GB)
Title: Performing data transmission based upon available battery power
Inventor: BULMER RUSSELL KENNETT
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2006-05-19
Abstract: In a data replication process, a wireless information device automatically sends predefined types of data held on the device to a remote server over a wireless network. This could provide backup for address/contact lists and/or diary contents or uploading of photographs to a photo sharing site. However, during the process, the battery level of the device is automatically determined and data is not sent if the battery level is below a first threshold. Preferably, if the battery level is above a second threshold, all data is sent whereas, if the battery level is between the first and second thresholds, only data of a certain size is sent. Data that can not be sent may be queued for transmission when the device has sufficient battery power. The battery level may also be monitored whilst data is being sent and data transmission is ceased if the battery level falls below the second threshold. The thresholds and data sizes for transmission may be set remotely for a given class of device or given end-user.

Patent GB-2442015-A (GB)
Title: Liquid leak detection system
Inventor: SHEEHAN FRANCIS BERNARD
IPC: G01M3/16
Filed: 2006-09-19
Abstract: A leak detection system for detecting leakage of liquids (for example from household appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers) comprises a mat 3 for positioning under the area in which a leak is to be detected, and a control box (5, figure 1). The mat 3 has upper and lower electrode layers 21, 27 and a layer of liquid permeable but electrically insulating material 25 separating the two electrode layers 21, 27. A source of electricity is applied to the two electrode layers 21, 27 and an indication means is provided in a circuit between the electrical source and the mat 3. When a leak occurs, water (or other liquid) permeates the mat 3 and completes a circuit between the electrode layers 21, 27. The indicating means indicates when electric current passes between the two electrode layers 21, 27, and thus when a leak occurs (for example aurally by sounding a buzzer or visually by activating a light).

Title: System and methods for measuring and validating gas emissions
Inventor: TOOLEY JAMIE
IPC: B01D53/34
Filed: 2007-01-31
Abstract: A system and method for calculating a value indicative of the amount of an undesirable constituent of a variable or intermittent gas steam that is removed from the atmosphere. In the embodiment, the gas stream is from a landfill site and the methane therein is removed from the atmosphere by a burner. Data is received from a gas sensors associated with the gas flow 56 and the removal or destruction device 62. A recording system uses this data to determine the quantity of undesirable constituents removed from the gas stream. The recording system verifies the data, if the data is found to fail validity checks it is quarantined for review by an operator and may be replaced with estimate data. The replacement data is tagged to show it is derived by calculation and may be tagged to show why it was replaced for audit purposes. The system allows greater certainty to be placed on the quantity of emissions reduced to enable carbon credit trading under the Kyoto protocol.

Title: Detecting water leaks using a radio microphone on or in a vehicle wheel
Inventor: LEWIS STEPHEN DESMOND
IPC: G01M3/24
Filed: 2008-07-07
Abstract: One or more radio microphones 3 are placed within or upon one or more ground engaging wheels 2 of a vehicle 1. The microphones may be inside an inner tube 4, or between the inner tube and the tyre 5. The microphones broadcast the detected sound to a receiver and/or amplifier on-board the vehicle.

Title: Air hybrid vehicle
Inventor: MA THOMAS TSOI HEI
IPC: B60K6/12
Filed: 2008-07-07
Abstract: An air hybrid vehicle is described powered by an internal combustion engine 16 which may or may not be equipped with a supercharger or turbocharger 10 for boosting the engine 16. In the invention, power is taken from the vehicle to drive the engine 16 during deceleration or coasting of the vehicle. The engine 16 absorbs energy from the vehicle and produces boost air which is transferred and stored in the pressure range of the typical engine 16 boost pressure in a separate boost air storage tank in the vehicle and this boost air is immediately suitable and ready for use for boosting the engine 16 during acceleration or cruising of the vehicle. The vehicle achieves fuel saving and high performance by boost substitution when this boost air is used to supply the engine 16, temporarily fulfilling the role of an air charger without actually driving an air charger by substituting the boost normally supplied by an air charger 10 with an equivalent boost produced and stored during regenerative braking. To accommodate a large boost air storage tank, the body of the vehicle is adapted with air-tight volumes 34, 34a, 34b linked together including the trunk of the vehicle serving both as a general luggage space and a very large boost pressure air storage volume as soon as the trunk is closed.
