Title: Business performance measurements
Inventor: GHOSH DEBASHIS
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2009-09-23
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for providing a performance-measuring network for measuring the performance of a business-merchant relative to other business-merchants competing the in the same or similar markets. For example, the performance-measuring network collects transaction data from a large number of different business-merchants. The performance-measuring network then assigns each of the different business-merchants to one or more peer groups. Each peer group consists of business-merchants that compete in the same or similar markets. For example, each peer group consists of business-merchants that sell similar products and/or services in the same geographic markets. After collecting transaction data and creating peer groups, the performance-measuring network measures the performance of a specific business-merchant by comparing the transaction data of the specific business-merchant to the transaction data of the other business-merchants that are assigned to the same peer group(s) as the specific business-merchant.

Title: A system for pre-heating a suppression material for supply to a fission reaction environment
Inventor: STEADMAN GARY THOMAS
IPC: G21C7/22
Filed: 2011-12-19
Abstract: The system is designed to utilize thermal energy from a nuclear reaction pressure vessel 1 or equivalent construction that is subject to fission reaction events, such as a spent fuel pond or reprocessing facility, to heat a fission reaction suppression material for supply to the fission reaction environment. Upon activation of a two-way valve 2, thermal energy from the reactor 1 is diverted to heat exchange mechanism 4 in order to heat a main hopper 9 containing the fission suppression material. The suppression material may then be released from the hopper 9, via valve 8, for supply to the fission reaction environment. The main hopper 9 may then be replenished with fresh fission reaction suppressant material from secondary feed hoppers 11.

Title: Media sessions
Inventor: LARKIN NICHOLAS PETER
IPC: H04L12/00
Filed: 2013-07-23
Abstract: In a telecommunications network (1, fig. 1) comprising multiple Session Border Controllers (SBC 102, 108) via which media sessions are set up across an IP packet network (106) between endpoint devices (eg. VoIP phones 100, 112) using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) offer messages (eg media session setup, modification or deletion requests, 5c) and answering accept or reject messages (5f), SBCs are bypassed by rewriting the preceding SBC address in the inbound offer message (5d) with an originating endpoint device address in the outbound offer message (5e). The signalling path thus contains the SBCs but the media transfer bypasses them. Aspects of the invention include determining that the terminating endpoint device supports Interactive Connectivity Establishment (an extension of SIP) media bypass functionality, and using Session Description Protocol (SDP) addresses in cases where the terminating endpoint is a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) phone (fig. 9).
