Title: Shared shopping basket management system
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2000-10-19
Abstract: A computer implemented method is provided for conducting business-to-business electronic commerce over the Internet. The method includes the step of providing a website that enables electronic communication with users, and including on the website an electronic shopping basket (22) which is selectively actuatable into various states (44, 41, 30). An additional step includes enabling two or more remote users to simulate access to the shopping basket (22). Each of the users is assigned one or more hierarchically distinct abilities to affect the state (44, 41, 30) of the shopping basket (22), so that the users are permitted to simultaneously view the status of the shopping basket and sequentially affect the state (44, 41, 30) of the shopping basket (22). This enables various actions in the purchasing process to be accomplished by various individuals. These abilities to affect the state (44, 41, 30) of the basket (22) may also include providing the users with various selected levels of access to the basket (22), i.e., to prevent unauthorized purchases. Notification of any change of the state (44, 41, 30) of the shopping basket (22) is automatically sent to all of the users by affecting a display of the shopping basket (22) on the website.

Title: Method and arrangement for mitigation of intercell interference in a cellular communication system
IPC: H04W24/08
Filed: 2004-03-08
Abstract: A method (400) and arrangement (200) for mitigation of intercell and intracell interference in a 3GPP cellular communication system (100) by, in a receiver in a cell of the system, deriving for a first channel in the cell a signal, representative of first channel transfer function (A(1)); deriving for at least a second channel originating in a different cell a signal (A(2 . . . M)), representative of second channel transfer function, based on: deriving a cell specific scrambling code (s), deriving a channel impulse response (h), and deriving a channelization code (c); and performing multi-user detection using the first and second signals. Where the channelization code is unknown, a substitute channelization code is preferably substituted. It will be appreciated that the technique can be applied to both downlink and uplink. This provides the advantage that both intra-cell interference and intercell interference are mitigated.

Patent GB-0413304-D0 (GB)
Title: Heating control system
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 2004-06-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a controller for a boiler system. Upon detecting a call for a burner stage, the controller examines temperature characteristics of the medium in the flow pipe and/or in the return pipe and causes the called burner stage to be implemented depending on the results of the examination. In particular, the controller implements the burner stage depending on the rate of temperature change of the medium in the flow pipe and/or in the return pipe. The controller bases its decisions on operating parameters that it adjusts in response to detected environmental conditions such as indoor and outdoor temperatures. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-0505826-D0 (GB)
Title: Methods for embedding of conducting material and devices resulting from said methods
IPC: H05K1/00
Filed: 2005-03-22
Abstract: A method of producing a composite substrate involves, providing a flexible sacrificial layer (2), producing a patterned conducting layer or stack of conducting layers (3) on a flexible sacrificial layer (2), bending the sacrificial layer into a predetermined shape, providing a stretchable and/or flexible material (4) on top of and in between features of the patterned layer while the sacrificial layer is bent. The patterned features can be shaped such that they are anchored into said stretchable and/or flexible material. This can enable the patterned conductor to be anchored into this stretchable and/or flexible material in a more reliable way..Bending prior to depositing the flexible and/or stretchable material reduces the risk that the conducting material jumps out of the surrounding flexible and/or stretchable material during bending. Also this shape will be (partially) maintained after removing the sacrificial substrate.

Title: Carrying out microchemical and microbiological tests
IPC: G01N33/52
Filed: 1984-06-22
Abstract: A microbiological culture test process for detecting the presence of nitrate-reducing microorganism in an inoculum sample, which comprises
 (a) culturing a microorganism to be tested in the presence of adequately nitrite-free nitrate, for a period sufficient to allow reduction of nitrate by any microorganism (if present) that has the capacity to reduce nitrate to nitrite, (e.g. 1-6 hours);
 (b) exposing the culture medium after culture to (diazotising) acid conditions in the presence of an amino-containing fluorophor thereby to cause diazotisation of the fluorophor to the extent of any nitrite present in the medium to form a diazonium derivative (or further reaction product thereof) which is substantially less fluorescent (or fluoresces at a substantially different wavelength) than said amino-containing fluorophor, and
 (c) assessing the fluorescence of the culture medium as treated by step (b), thereby to show a reduction in fluorescence in the presence of a nitrate-reducing microorganism.
Patent GB-8622151-D0 (GB)
Title: Coal analysis
IPC: G01N23/222
Filed: 1986-09-15
Abstract: An analysis system for analysing coal or other material causes the material (3) to be bombarded with neutrons (2) from a source (1), and this generates gamma rays (11,12,13) from the material (3) which are detected by a detector (4). The detector has scintillators (5,6) which generate light when a gamma ray is detected, the light being detected by photomultipliers (8,9). Each gamma ray generates two other gamma rays, which may both be wholly absorbed in one or the other scintillator (5,6) or one absorbed in one scintillator and one in the other. By analysing these events, the spectrum of gamma rays may be obtained, giving the composition of the material. One preferred detector has an array of scintillators and coincident gamma ray detection events in three adjacent scintillators detected.
Patent GB-8802506-D0 (GB)
Title: Piezo-electric laminate
IPC: H01L41/257
Filed: 1988-02-04
Abstract: A piezoelectric laminate comprises a piezoelectric layer and an insulating substrate layer rigidly bonded thereto. During poling, conditions are established under which a poling potential is established at the boundary of the layers which insures that a substantial part of the poling voltage is dropped across the piezoelectric layer. The poling voltage is maintained for a period greater than the time constant under the poling conditions of the material to which the poling voltage is applied. In one embodiment, the poling conditions are achieved by substantially enhancing the conductivity of the substrate layer relative to that of the piezoelectric layer. In a second embodiment, an intermediate bond layer is selectively switched from a non-conductive to a conductive state in response to a selected stimulus so as to form an electrode for facilitating the application of a poling field directly across the piezoelectric layer.
