Title: Multiple field digital input team building system
Inventor: NEILL SHAH
IPC: H04M3/493
Filed: 2018-01-07
Abstract: IVR technology in combination with data logging software is used to receive and collate multiple inputs to fill fields located in a pre-determined template received from digital devices. A voting system which uses digital communications technology allows the input of multiple fields according to a template.

Patent GB-2576755-A (GB)
Title: System and method for providing protected data storage in a data memory
Inventor: TUOMAS MIKAEL KÄRKKÄINEN
IPC: G06F21/78
Filed: 2018-08-31
Abstract: Data storage in data memory 102 is protected. An encoder 104 encrypts unencrypted data (D1) using encryption information and stores the encrypted data (EN) in an allocated portion of the memory. A decoder 106 accesses the encrypted data (EN) and decrypts it using the encryption information to re­generate the unencrypted data (D1). Each time unencrypted data is read from or new data is to be written to allocated portions of the memory, the encoder reencrypts the unencrypted data using newer encryption information and replaces previous encrypted data (EN) with newer encrypted data in the allocated portions. The encoder and decoder are integrated to operate in a single thread of execution (THREAD 1) when decrypting and re‑encrypting data. Because they operate without interruption in the single‑thread, data is never stored unencrypted. Such dynamic re‑encryption prevents access to sensitive data even for hardware and vendors and is independent of operating systems.

Abstract: If determining that a first cell 1A of a base station is about to reboot, it first performs a handover of one or more User Equipments from that cell to a second cell 1B. After the reboot, the user equipment may be handed back to the rebooted cell 1A. If both cells 1A, 1B are to reboot, a determination is made (211) to identify which cell's reboot operation is to be prioritised, a handover of the user equipment attached to the prioritised cell to the other cell is made (261), the prioritised cell is rebooted (271), all the user equipments are handed over from the non-prioritised cell 1B to the (now rebooted) prioritised cell 1A (291), the non‑prioritised cell is rebooted (282) and the user equipment that was initially attached to the non-prioritised cell 1B is handed over from the prioritised cell 1A back to the now rebooted non-prioritised cell 1B (292). The invention may also be used with cells of different capabilities or ranges, or associated with different base stations, the cells and/or base stations beingselected for temporary handover according to the capabilities and range required by the user equipments.
