Title: Remote access control by way of authorisation data comunicated from a users mobile phone
Inventor: WALDEN PETER JOHN
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2005-11-02
Abstract: The system uses a host control computer (3), an onsite control unit (5) and mobile phones (6). Individual arranging visits to a given site at the host control unit by way of the internet. The approach of an individual(s/) to the site is automatically detected (e.g. motion sensor). An attempt is made by the onsite host to communicate with a mobile phone device (via e.g. Bluetooth (RTM)) carried y the user. The onsite control unit (5) can then verify with the host control unit (3) via the internet whether the individual is permitted to enter the site. If permission is allowed then the onsite control unit opens gate (10). The control unit may be solar powered with battery back up.

Title: Closed User Group (CUG) servers and a CUG control database for push-to-talk (PTT) radio communications
Inventor: HASEGAWA NAOKI
IPC: H04W4/08
Filed: 2004-10-04
Abstract: A radio communications system comprises communication terminal devices 1, 2..., N for performing push-to-talk (PTT) communication, a server 100 for processing radio communication between the terminal devices, Closed User Group (CUG) servers 200-1..., 200-N storing group information relating to a particular group of the PTT communication terminal devices 1, 2..., N, and a CUG control database 300 for controlling the CUG servers 200-1 ..., 200-N. Each CUG server registers group information in the CUG control database so that, when a communication terminal device acquires group information from a CUG server and transmits, to the server, a request for an audio information notification to be sent to a second communication terminal device in the acquired group, the server can determine whether or not information of the communication terminal device is registered in the CUG control database, based upon CUG identification in the group information sent with the request. Then, in accordance with the determination result, the server establishes radio communication with the terminal devices in the acquired group and transmits the audio information to the second terminal device.

Title: Filtering and viewing real-time call detail records based upon user specific criteria
Inventor: CONNELLY STEPHEN PHILIP
IPC: H04Q7/34
Filed: 2006-05-11
Abstract: In a mobile telephony network, the call detail records (CDR) or transaction detail records (TDR) from related frames from the network is filtered 304 in real-time. CDR/TDR meeting the filter's user-set criteria are passed to a counting or measurement unit 306. If the output from the counting or measurement unit exceeds a given threshold value within a given period of time the notifier means 308 passes an alert or alarm to the user's terminal 302. This arrangement allows for real-time monitoring of the network's performance, rather than monitoring based on off line, historical data from a database.

Title: Splined connection in all wheel drive system
Inventor: BJORCK PER-GUNNAR
IPC: F16D1/116
Filed: 2007-01-31
Abstract: The drive system for an all wheel drive vehicle (1) comprises a connection between a power take-off unit 6 and a propshaft (8) transmitting drive to and a rear drive module (9). A stub shaft 11 of the propshaft (8) is connected to the power take-off unit 6 by a splined joint 13, 15 to facilitate assembly when compared to a flanged coupling. A snap ring 18 engages with annular groove or recess 16 to lock the stub shaft 11 axially to the output shaft 12.

Patent GB-2466858-A (GB)
Title: Measuring standoff and borehole geometry
Inventor: WINKLER KENNETH W
IPC: E21B47/08
Filed: 2008-09-29
Abstract: Refracted ultrasonic waves are utilized to calculate tool standoff. An ultrasonic transmitter sends a wave toward (and into) the borehole wall at a critical incidence angle for refracted waves. The refracted wave travels along the borehole wall and continuously radiates energy back into the borehole at the critical angle. The refracted wave is detected by a receiver, and the travel time of the refracted acoustic wave from transmitter to receiver is measured and used to calculate standoff. By making repeated measurements at various azimuths (for instance, as the tool rotates), one or more caliper measurements can be made. The caliper measurements can be combined to yield two-dimensional geometry of the borehole. Measurements made at different azimuths and depths yield three-dimensional borehole geometry. Arrays of transmitter-receiver pairs can be used to obviate the need for varying azimuth.

A cable 607 is connected between the support unit 110 and the enclosure, preferably to power and control units in the rear of the enclosure, the cable passing into a cable management means 310, preferably located under the control units and behind the sliding support. In one embodiment the management means 310 (see also figs 6 to 8) causes the cable to have at least two loops 1406 and 1407. A sprung retractable guide means 701 (see figs 8-11 for details) is preferably arranged so that the cable is guided between the extended spring 904 and the bottom of the enclosure, this preventing loops forming when the support is extended and opened (see figs 15-17). Alternative cable management means can comprise a movable arrangement of pulleys (figs 18a-b) or the cable it self can be made into a looped form and elastically resilient either as repeatedly bend ribbon cable (figs 19a-b) or a helically coiled cable (fig 20a-b).

Title: Forwarding a telephone call to an agent from a Computer Telephony (CT) server located as Service Provider Equipment (SPE) within a telephone network.
Inventor: PICKERING RICHARD
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 2009-09-08
Abstract: The method comprises receiving an incoming call at a computer-telephony (CTI) server located as Service Provider Equipment (SPE) within a telephone network, followed by setting up a call from the CTI server to a customer location. The customer location has a plurality of agents, each agent having an associated computer workstation. The call is forwarded at the customer location to a receiving agent selected from the plurality of agents. There is now communication between the CTI server and one or more of the agents to allow the CTI server to identify the receiving agent. The computer telephony server may use voice analytics on speech input from the receiving agent to identify the receiving agent. The CTI server can use knowledge of the Identity of the receiving agent to determine further handling of the call while the call is in progress. The method further comprises the agent registering with the CTI server prior to receiving the call. It allows an agent to receive both the telephone call and Computer information about the call, despite the CTI server being located in an SPE environment.
