Title: Mobile communications system using shortened terminal identifiers
Inventor: MCNAMARA DARREN PHILLIP
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2011-02-04
Abstract: In a mobile communications system comprising mobile terminals and a base station, the base station sends super-frames comprising shared data communication channels and a control channel for resource allocation messages. Each terminal is allocated an identifier so that it can determine its resource allocation from the control channel messages. The base station is adapted to also send shorter identifiers for each terminal, related to the original identifiers, which the terminals also use to determine their resource allocation.. The shorter identifiers allow the allocation of more resources per super-frame to user terminals as more identifiers can be fitted in the control channel information in the super-fram. The mobile terminals may be organised in groups and receive respective super-frames for their group.

Inventor: ZORINO PETER
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2011-09-09
Abstract: Identifying a hazardous process control type associated with a process control devices 112a-c includes automatically detecting that a process control device is coupled to a port on a controller (104 fig. 1), detecting information associated with the process control device via the port, identifying a hazardous process condition type of the process control device based on the detected information, and sending information to a computing device (102, 103 fig. 1) to cause a display to include visual indication of the identified hazardous process condition type in association with the process control device. The hazard may be shown as a coloured hue proximate the representation of the field devices. A hazardous process condition detector 208 may detect that the field devices 112a-c are intrinsically safe for use in a potentially explosive area 114 by detecting the presence of an intrinsically safe barrier 204a-c. Alternatively the field devices may be identified as located in other types of hazardous conditions such as radioactive, chemical or biological by including a sensor proximate to the field devices.

IPC: C23C16/27
Filed: 2011-12-14
Abstract: A microwave power delivery system is shown for supplying microwave power to a plurality of microwave plasma reactors 8 to enable more efficient use of the power generated. The microwave power delivery system contains a tuner 14 configured to be coupled to a microwave source 4 and configured to match the impedance of the plurality of microwave plasma reactors 8 to that of the microwave source 4. A waveguide junction 18 is also provided and coupled to the tuner 14 and configured to guide microwaves to and from the plurality of microwave plasma reactors 8. The waveguide junction 18 comprises four waveguide ports including a first port coupled to the tuner 14, second and third ports configured to be coupled to respective microwave plasma reactors 8, and a fourth port coupled to a microwave sink 20. It is also configured to evenly split microwave power input from the tuner 14 through the first port between the second and third ports for providing microwave power to respective microwave plasma reactors 8, wherein the waveguide junction 18 is configured to decouple the second and third ports thereby preventing any reflected microwaves from one of the microwave plasma reactors 8 from feeding across the waveguide junction directly into another microwave plasma reactor 8 causing an imbalance. The waveguide junction 18 is further configured to feed reflected microwaves received back through the second and third ports which are balanced in terms of magnitude and phase to the tuner 14 such that they can be reflected by the tuner 14 and re-used. Finally the waveguide junction 18 is further configured to feed excess reflected power which is not balanced through the fourth port into the microwave sink 20.

Title: A method of identifying leaks in a fluid carrying conduit
Inventor: HOFFMAN ANDREW
IPC: F17D5/06
Filed: 2012-08-03
Abstract: A method of determining whether or not there is a leak in a pipeline for carrying fluids. The method comprises the steps of: providing pressure sensing means at different positions along the pipeline; emitting a pilot signal into the fluid in the pipeline; detecting the pilot signal with the pressure sensing means 101 102; determining the frequency and/or phase of the detected pilot signal at each pressure sensing means; comparing the detected frequencies and/or phases of the pilot signal at successive pressure sensing means; thereby determining that there is a leak in the pipeline if there is a frequency difference and/or phase difference between the detected pilot signals. Monitoring frequency and/or phase in this manner can allow a leak to be detected more accurately, more quickly and more simply than with the prior art method involving monitoring flow rate directly. There is also disclosed apparatus for carrying out the method.

Patent GB-2516939-A (GB)
Title: Access authorisation system and secure data communications system
Inventor: SHAW PHILLIP MARTIN
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2013-08-07
Abstract: An access authorisation system comprises a central authenticator 30, a user device 10 and an access device 20. The authenticator stores data relating to the user and access device, and a privilege granted to the user to use a resource controlled by the access device. The user causes the user device to request exercise of a privilege from the authenticator via a long-range communication. In response to this request, the authenticator requests authentication from the user in the form of personal identification data. This is transmitted to the authenticator compared with the stored data to verify the user's identity. The authenticator then transmits a transaction token to the access device and to the user device. Via a short-range communication, the user device transmits the transaction token to the access device, and a matching operation is performed. The access device is arranged to allow exercise of the privilege if the result of the matching process meets predetermined criteria. A secure communication system between a verification device and a remote device is also disclosed.
