Title: Method and arrangement for gathering data from a communication network
Inventor: TOIKKA TONI JAAKKIMA
IPC: H04L43/00
Filed: 2010-01-14
Granted: 2014-11-27
Abstract: An arrangement for gathering data from a communication network (101) comprises a server device (102)connected to the communication network. The arrangement comprises in user terminal devices(107,108)an interface application arranged to transmit to the server device first data related to telecommunication services provided by the communication network. The server device is arranged to produce second data, e.g. fees payable due to the usage of the telecommunication services,at least partly on the basis of the first data and to make the second data accessible to users (109,110) of the user terminal devices. The user terminal devices are utilised in gathering data from the communication network and thus the data is automatically gathered from those locations of the communication net- work in which the network and the telecommunication services are being used and thus no separate devices for gathering data are needed.

Title: Hybrid marine power train system
Inventor: BRATEL DEAN J
IPC: B60K6/42
Filed: 2010-02-12
Granted: 2014-06-05
Abstract: A hybrid marine power train system is provided that facilitates selective use of one of multiple prime movers for powering and driving a boat. The multiple prime movers can include an internal combustion engine and an electric motor which can itself be part of a motor/generator assembly. The system further includes a power-take-in assembly that can have either an active or passive clutching device for selectively importing power from the prime movers into the transmission. The system is configured so that the second prime mover occupies relatively little space within an engine compartment of the boat, for example when compared to an amount of space occupied by the first prime mover and transmission. Since the second prime mover occupies relatively little space within the engine compartment, the system can be readily retrofitted to existing marine power train systems.

Title: Diffractive lenses for vision correction
Inventor: MORRIS MICHAEL G
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 2010-10-12
Granted: 2012-06-07
Abstract: Abstract Diffractive lenses for vision correction are provided on a lens body having a first diffractive structure for splitting light into two or more diffractive orders to different focal distances or ranges, and a second diffractive structure, referred to as a multiorder diffractive (MOD) structure, for 5 diffracting light at different wavelengths into a plurality of different diffractive orders to a common focal distance or range. In a bifocal application, the first and second diffractive structures in combination define the base power for distance vision correction and add power for near vision correction of the lens. The first and second diffractive structures may be combined on the same surface or located on different surfaces of the lens. The first diffractive structure may have blazed 10 (i.e., sawtooth), sinusoidal, sinusoidal harmonic, square wave, or other shape profile. A sinusoidal harmonic diffractive structure is particularly useful in applications where smooth rather than sharp edges are desirable.

Inventor: FERRARA KEITH S
IPC: G01N35/04
Filed: 2010-03-24
Granted: 2014-02-13
Abstract: A method and system of aligning a probe to wells includes holding the probe at one potential and holding the wells at a different potential, moving the probe to an estimated center position above a selected well, lowering the probe into the selected target well, moving the probe in positive and negative directions along first and second axial dimensions until changes in potential are detected at the probe to indicate electrical contact between the probe and the selected well, and calculating a center location of the selected well along the first and second axial dimensions as mid-points between the points of contact for the respective axial dimensions. The method and system further include lowering the probe into contact with a floor of the selected well and calculating a center location along a third axial dimension as a predetermined distance above the position of the probe. The method and system determine center locations for other wells based on known spacing between wells and the calculated center locations of one or more selected wells.
