Title: Identifying data packets by using a header pattern
Inventor: DOBSON ROBERT WILLIAM ALBERT
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: Identifying packets carrying data for a data communication session from encrypted packets carrying data for a plurality of data communication sessions. This involves locating a header pattern of encrypted packets, the header pattern comprising a pattern of encrypted packets in which multiple encrypted packets carry substantially the same encrypted data, and identifying other encrypted packets within the same data communications session as the header. The method facilitates testing of a digital mobile phone network when traffic within the network is encrypted as the sent data may be recovered from a signal tapped at a point within the network without decrypting the data.

Title: Surface water remover
Inventor: COOLING GEORGE
IPC: B60B39/00
Filed: 2004-11-06
Abstract: A device fitted to a vehicle for removing surface water from the road directly in front of a wheel comprises an air duct with an intake 1, a passage of reducing cross-section, and an outlet 3. During forward movement of the vehicle air is forced into the duct to create a high pressure stream of air which exits the device to blast water away from the road surface thereby increasing the grip of the wheel and reducing the likelihood of aquaplaning. A pressure relief valve 2 may be provided to release any excessive build-up of pressure that might otherwise cause damage to the system. A pair of ducts may be fitted to the vehicle.

Title: A vehicle air conditioning apparatus and method of preventing a window from fogging by calculating the air temperature of a window
Inventor: YONEKURA MITSURU
IPC: F24F11/02
Filed: 2004-12-03
Abstract: A vehicle air conditioning apparatus 10 comprises an outside air temperature sensor 22, a vehicle interior temperature sensor 28, and a solar radiation sensor 24 that are all used to calculate a stable and a transient state of the vehicle interior surface temperature of a window, which is used to control a heater 60 and a cooler 58 of the air conditioning apparatus 10.

Title: Identifying touch-pad interaction by parsing affected detection path sets
Inventor: WONG CHEE-HENG
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 2006-02-13
Abstract: A computer input e.g. a touch pad (300) comprises intersecting detection path sets (e.g. X, Y). The X path set may comprise vertical paths and the Y path set may comprise horizontal paths. When an area of the input is affected by interaction e.g. a key press (302), the affected detection paths are determined (e.g. Y 106-142) and related signals stored in X and Y registers (308 and 310). The register values represent the affected detection paths and may be used to determine the areas of the computer input affected by input action. For each detection path set, the set's indications of affected detection paths are parsed to identify up to N extents (instances) of adjacent, affected detection paths where N>1. Further correlation of identified extents may be performed to determine more precisely the nature of the input action. Multiple simultaneous input actions may thereby be detected.

Title: Imaging device with motion sensing based on correlating common image features
Inventor: TRUTNA WILLIAM R JR
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2006-05-04
Abstract: A motion sensor for compensating unwanted movement of imaging device 130 comprises an array 140 of photoelements and a controller 132. The detector array 140 acquires successive images, including first image features and common features of a second image captured a time interval after the first image. The controller receives and correlates the plural, first and second images to detect movement of the imaging device between images by detecting differences in locations of common image features relative to the photoelement array. Compensation signals are then provided, based on the image correlation or comparison, to control opto-mechanical adjustments to counter detect imager movement. Optomechanical adjustments may move the image sensor 134 itself or, as also independently claimed, the image sensor lens (290, Figure 4) may be moved instead.

Title: Sustained release creatine formulation
Inventor: TALLON MARK JAMES
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 2006-09-12
Abstract: A composition comprising creatine or derivative thereof combined with an encapsulation to provide controlled delivery of creatine wherein the plasma concentration of creatine is maintained at Vmax (+/- 30%) of the muscle creatine transporters. This makes it possible to control the creatine delivered from the digestive tract to provide 0.2 to 1.5g of creatine per hour. These features make it possible to retain a higher proportion of ingested creatine within the body tissues, including muscle. This allows controlled delivery creatine to maintain muscle and other tissue creatine levels with a smaller creatine dose than provided by conventional loading and maintenance protocols and produce greater elevations in body creatine stores. Methods of using the formulation are disclosed. The delivery/encapsulation agent may be cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose phthalate, methacryclic acid-methacrylicacid ester copolymer, polyvinyl acetate-phthalate, maltodextrin, shellac, cellulose acetate phthalate, sucrose and carnauba wax, or a combination thereof.

Title: A data distribution system employing two or more transmitters for improved transfer rate
Inventor: MORGAN JONATHAN
IPC: H04W48/20
Filed: 2006-10-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a data distribution system 1 comprising a source of data 7 and two or more wireless transmitters 3 for sending data to those mobile units 8 that respond to a broadcast search signal. By employing two or more transmitters 3 respectively designated to different sets of mobile identification codes, the number of mobile units 8 that can be fed with information in an acceptable time-frame is increased. The identification code of each mobile unit 8 that responds to the search signal is recorded 5 and the data 7 is transmitted to it from the transmitter 3 associated with that code. In this way, each transmitter 3 is required to serve only a proportion of the mobile units 8 that have responded to the search signal thereby greatly enhancing the speed at which the data 7 can be distributed.
