Title: Initiating a payment service by including a scan tag in a short message
Inventor: WILSON JEFFREY
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2007-08-24
Abstract: A GSM network 1 includes an SMS application platform 8 that is in communication with a money transfer platform 9. A first mobile user A can send a sum of money to a second mobile user B by means of a money transfer service provided by the money transfer platform 9. In order to do this, the user A composes a short message in the form of a text message that includes a particular character or characters, e.g. a scan tag, that indicates a payment service and may define the monetary amount to be transferred, and then sends (addresses) the text message to the user B. A text message router 6 identifies the relevant scan tag in the short message, and directs the text message to the SMS application platform 8, which then manages the money transfer transaction in cooperation with the money transfer platform 9.

Title: Dynamic allocation of E1 link circuits to a pool of MSC-S and ISUP identifier translation by a Media Gateway
Inventor: LUNDSTROM JOHAN
IPC: H04J3/16
Filed: 2007-10-10
Abstract: Managing Time Division Multiplex (TDM) resources, such as E1 links, for a pool of Mobile Switching Centre Servers (MSC-S) at a Media Gateway (MG) in a communications network. Virtual TDM resources, circuit identification codes (CIC), are allocated to each MSC-S in the pool and mapped to the actual TDM resource CICs and associated with an identifier of the MSC-S. The MG may also include an ISDN User Part (ISUP) signalling proxy function. When the MG receives an ISUP message, it replaces the identifier (Point Code) with an ISDN User Part signalling proxy function identifier before sending the message to a node in an external network (See Fig. 8). The arrangement allows dynamic allocation of TDM resources amongst the pool of MSC-Ss and prevents circuits being wasted in the event of server failure or a server exceeding its fixed allocation.

Title: Solid state lighting with feedback means
Inventor: ARCHENHOLD GEOFFREY HOWARD
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2007-10-19
Abstract: A system for controlling solid state lighting comprises a source 1 to supply any one of a range of AC or DC voltages to a plurality of LED light strings 3, 4, 5. The current that can pass through each LED string is limited by an LED driver circuit 6. Each LED string has a sensor 7 that monitors the voltage across each switching device in the LED driver circuit and utilises a control unit 8 to control the voltages supplied by the power supply through control signals 2 in response to the monitored switching device voltage. The source may include a power factor correction circuit and a separate transformer for each light string. The current through each LED string can be modified according to a feedback monitor system that measures parameters such as LED characteristics, forward current, temperature, and LED output intensity/colour.

Title: A method for synchronised measurement of participant responses to stimuli using remote, networked computers
Inventor: KIRK-SMITH MICHAEL DAVID
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting digitised continuous and static stimuli from one computer to remote computers comprises software allowing stimuli to be presented to remote subjects and allowing collection of their synchronised immediate, continuous responses and reflective responses to the stimuli on one or more aspects of judgement; then, these judgements are immediately transmitted to another computer or recorded to a computer data file or files for later transmission, being communicated to the remote computers using input devices. The preferred method of collecting affective responses is through pulling towards / pushing away a computer mouse so that approach (pull) and avoidance (push) motor responses - the basis of affective judgements - are recruited. Computers may be linked via the Internet or an intranet, and mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) or digital televisions may be used. Other input devices include sliders, joysticks, touch pads / screens or rollerballs. Participants may have visual feedback on their responses, e.g. via a visual vertical linear scale, which may be recorded. Stimuli-judging software may be downloaded to remote computers.

Title: Sealed structural passenger window assembly and method of forming same
Inventor: BALSILLIE CHRIS H
IPC: B60J1/00
Filed: 2006-05-03
Abstract: A window assembly (10) and method for use with a mobile platform, and particularly with commercial or military aircraft. The window assembly (10) includes a composite window panel (36) that is secured to the fuselage skin (14) of the aircraft. A tempered glass fairing (20) is used in connection with a retainer clip (22) and a plurality of sealing components (28,30,32) to seal the fairing (20) over the window panel (36) in a manner that provides a sealed air gap (48) between the inner surface (44) of the fairing (20) and the outer surface (46) of the window panel (36). The fairing (20) and the sealed air gap (48) help to thermally isolate the window panel (36) from the significant ambient temperature changes that are encountered during flight of the mobile platform. The fairing (20) also provides a hazard barrier to protect the composite window panel from impact by foreign objects during flight.

Title: Selectively enabling and disabling mobile gaming depending on player location
Inventor: SHEFFIELD CHRIS
IPC: A63F13/12
Filed: 2008-08-20
Abstract: A mobile handset 101 is operable to play a game in which prizes may be awarded for predetermined winning outcomes. In order to play for monetary value, the user logs on to a game server 110.
