Title: Trailer battery charge system
Inventor: REECE-JONES ANDREW
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2014-01-10
Abstract: A system for recharging the battery 56 of a towed trailer 50 comprises a trickle charge unit 54 which further comprises a switching unit 62. The switching unit 62 selectively moves between a first position where the trailer battery 56 is connected to the towing vehicle battery 66 for charging and a second position where the trailer battery 56 is isolated from the towing vehicle battery 66 and is instead supplies power to an electrical device 58 mounted on the trailer, which may be a tipper pump. The switching unit 62 may only move from its first position to its second position when actuated by a key 64 manually inserted by a user. When the key 64 is not -present, the switching unit 62 is set in its first position and the trailer battery 56 is disconnected from the tipper pump 58. This system allows the tipper pump 58 to operate irrespective of whether the vehicle ignition is on or off and prevents depletion of the vehicle battery 66.

Title: Nox Trap Composition
Inventor: MCKENNA FIONA MAIREAD
IPC: F01N3/10
Filed: 2014-02-18
Abstract: A method to produce a NOx trap composition, and its use in a NOx trap and in an exhaust system for internal combustion engines, is disclosed. The NOx trap composition is produced by heating an iron-containing zeolite in thepresence of an inert gas and an organic compound (e.g. polyethylene oxide) to produce a reductively calcined iron/zeolite. A palladium compound is then added to the reductively calcined iron/zeolite, and the resulting Pd-Fe/zeolite is then calcined at 400 to 600Â°C in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas to produce the NOx trap composition. The NOx trap composition shows low temperature NO capacity below 200Â°C, as well as an additional NO storage temperature window in the 200 to 250Â°C range, and is useful as a cold start catalyst.

Title: Message Processing
Inventor: WILLIAMS MATTHEW
IPC: H04L1/22
Filed: 2014-04-30
Abstract: A cluster 102 of server nodes 104/106/108 provide AAA (authentication, authorisation, accounting) services using the Diameter protocol. Each server preferably provides CSCF (call session control function) services and is substantially identical to the others. The cluster may be addressed with a Diameter realm ID with each server having a device ID. Messages will typically be directed to a particular server, rather than the cluster as a whole. In the invention one server 104 may process and respond to messages addressed to another server 106. This may be triggered by a failure of the other server 106. In another claim, server 104 may respond using another servers address (e.g. 106) as the source address of the response. In a further claim, server 104 may request responsibility for some client 124 of a management/coordination function if the currently responsible server (e.g. 106) is unavailable.

Title: Communication between frames of a web browser
Inventor: ALDERSON ROSS
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2014-05-29
Abstract: Communication between frames of a web browser is arranged to enforce a same origin security policy for communication between frames. A hub document of a hub origin is received into a hub frame of the web browser and a first application document from a first application origin different to the hub origin is received into a first application frame of the web browser. Communication between the hub document and the first application document within the web browser uses a cross origin communication mechanism. This prevents malicious third party proving program code in for example an advertisement frame to read password or sensitive data in another frame. The first application document may trap events, with the hub document taking action in respect of the trapped event such as naviation fo a frame to the hyperlink.

Title: Smart trolley wheel
Inventor: ROBERT MARK DENISON
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2014-10-10
Abstract: A position tracking system is disclosed which derives information relating to a location of a cart or trolley, such as a shopping trolley in a supermarket. The cart comprises at least one wheel that is configured to acquire and output information representing a rotational distance travelled by the wheel and to determine and output a bearing of the wheel during motion, for example using an encoder, gyroscope, magnetometer, accelerometer or similar sensors. The system obtains information relating to an estimated change in a position of the cart and identifies, based on the wheel information, at least one location at which the cart was located. The wheel may also include means for wireless communication and wireless signal triangulation positioning may be used. Position estimates may include generating candidate state particle sets. Specific locations may be identified such as checkouts, aisles, near items of interest and restricted areas, for example to prevent the trolley being stolen.

Title: Oscillating blade, wind or water powered turbine
Inventor: BLAKEY ERIC EDWARD
IPC: F03D7/02
Filed: 2014-10-16
Abstract: A vertical axis wind or water turbine revolves about a central axis 1. A series of horizontal arms 2 are connected in a radial fashion to the central axis. A series of blades 3 are connected to the arms 2. As the wind speed 8 increases it causes the device to rotate about the central axis . The prevailing wind 8 lifts the blade presenting a large surface area for the wind to act on. Stops, not shown, prevent the blade from moving past the optimum point. As the device continues to rotate the blade starts to feather as it turns into the wind presenting a small surface area and least resistance to the wind. Stops, not shown, prevent the blade from moving past the optimum position. Due to the helical distribution of the arms on the central shaft the blades are staggered in their position on the shaft ensuring a constant presentation of a flat blade to the prevailing wind. The device may also be used as a water turbine.

Title: A time and attendance processing system
Inventor: SUNIL KUMAR
IPC: G07C1/10
Filed: 2014-02-14
Abstract: A time and attendance processing system has multiple terminals (1) with employee verification capability, and they may be distributed over a wide geographical area. There is at least one server (3), which may be a cloud-based virtual server. The terminals send in real time a record in response to an event (F1 F8) marking start or end of an activity. The server (3) receives the event records and performs initial processing in real time, including attempting to locate a matching event record. There are first and second capture databases for optimal real time performance of capturing the event records and triggering the real time processing. When a matching event record is located it updates an attendance database record with the full data,both recorded and calculated,for the activity marked by the start and end events. Subsequently, the server performs batch processing with the benefit of all event data and derived processed data for matching on/off events being available in the attendance database record. Notifications may be sent to employees if there is non-adherence to a rule, and responses are used as records for the employee database. There is optimum use of third party communication servers by scheduling notification messages in advance for pre-set times and cancelling them if applicable immediately before the pre-set times.

Abstract: A computer system comprises nodes provided with: a plurality of processes; an indication unit which indicates key ranges to be processed by the processes; and an allocation unit which allocates data for processing. If a second process, which processes a second key range, is to take over the processing of a third key range, which is a portion of a first key range, from a first process which processes the first key range, the indication unit sends first range update information, including updated first key range information, to the first process; sends second range update information, including updated second key range information, to the second process; and sends third range update information, including first and second new key ranges, to the allocation unit. The allocation unit receives the third range update information and modifies the allocation of the data to be processed. The first process receives the first range update information and processes data in the updated first key range. The second process receives the second range update information and processes data in the updated second key range.
