Title: Combined VoDSL and POTS system with integrated access device/VoDSL to POTS converter and telephones connected to common line via isolating  filters
Inventor: MASON PAUL DAVID ORTON
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: A broad band POTS signal is derived from an ADSL signal utilizing an integrated access device (12). The broadband POTS signal is then fed back into the transmission system (11) via a low pass filter (30). The integrated access device (12) is also arranged to receive POTS signals from telephony equipment (20-1-20-n) connected to the transmission system (11) and incorporate signals encoding the received POTS signals into outgoing ADSL signals. The telephony equipment (20-1-20-n) is prevented from receiving ADSL signals on the transmission system (11) by further low pass filters (21-1-21-n) connecting the telephony equipment (20-1-20-n) to the transmission system (11). By utilizing the integrated access device to generate POTS signals and supplying these signals to the transmission system (11) a means is provided to distribute telephony signals derived from an ADSL signal received by the integrated access device (12).

Title: Transceiver with image capture device
Inventor: JOHNSON ALAN
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 2002-12-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a camera 10 mounted in a transceiver device such as a mobile telephone 1. If the camera is used to take a picture while the mobile telephone is transmitting then there will be a deterioration in the quality of the picture due to interference from the radio signals. The invention seeks to overcome this problem by only capturing an image during the time within a frame when the transmitter of a TDMA phone is inactive. Therefore, the shielding between the camera and the transceiver can be reduced or removed altogether, reducing the weight and size of the mobile telephone.

Title: Systems and method for providing volume-weighted average price auction trading
Inventor: LUTNICK HOWARD W
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2003-10-02
Abstract: Systems and methods for providing traders with an opportunity to trade on the VWAP price are provided. After a trader enters a VWAP auction session 620, the trader has a predetermined about of time (i.e., the length of the VWAP auction period) to place bids and/or offers on an item. When the VWAP auction period ends, the electronic trading application matches the VWAP orders 640. The VWAP orders that are not matched are cancelled 650. The electronic trading application collects trading information (e.g., price, size, etc.) corresponding to the received orders 660. The collected information is processed to determine the VWAP price 670. The VWAP price is presented to the trader 680 and the matched VWAP orders are filled based on the determined VWAP price 690.

Title: Keypad switch
Inventor: PURCOCKS DALE MCPHEE
IPC: G06F3/02
Filed: 2003-12-24
Abstract: A switch comprises a generally tubular housing 10 of rigid plastics. A plurality of discrete tabs 12 are circumferentially disposed around an end of the housing 10. The housing 10 defines a recess 16 for receiving an elastomeric dome member 24 having an annular rib (26, Fig. 6) at its base, and the recess 16 has an annular groove 20 with a sharp edge 22 for receiving the annular rib 26 of the dome member. When the dome member 24 is inserted within the recess 16, a downward force is provided on the tabs 12, causing them to 'fold' down over the base of the dome member 24, such that they are orthogonal to the longitudinal sidewall of the housing 10 and flush with the edge portion 29 thereof. Heat may be applied to the tabs causing them to soften and melt together, to form a single integral flange covering the annular rib 26 at the base of the dome member 24 to create a fluid-tight seal between the housing 10 and the dome members. The end of the housing 10 opposite to the tabs 12 is provided with an aperture (30, Fig. 7) with which the stem 32 of a keycap 34 is slidably engaged. The recess 16 for receiving the dome member 24 is shaped to provide sufficient clearance such that the dome member does not contact the inner wall of the housing when it is deformed in use.

Title: Vehicle indicator lamp with LED and filter
Inventor: TAKEDA HITOSHI
IPC: F21V9/40
Filed: 2004-09-27
Abstract: A vehicle lamp 10 that irradiates amber light comprises a light-emitting diode (102, fig 3), a long-wavelength phosphor (106, fig 3) and an optical filter 26. The light-emitting diode (LED) may emit blue light of low wavelength. The phosphor emits light which has a peak wavelength greater than or equal to the wavelength of the amber light. An optical filter blocks light from the LED and transmits light of the peak wavelength of the phosphor. The optical filter may have a transmission limit of 50% of the peak wavelength of the phosphor. The lamp has the advantage that the light emission does not decrease due to rises in ambient temperature. The lamp is used as a signal lamp for a vehicle.
