Title: Automatically switching between SIM cards to obtain least expensive call connection
Inventor: WANG YUNG-FENG
IPC: H04M1/21
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for automatically switching between multiple SIM cards within a telephone or similar device, e.g. portable computer or PDA. The method comprises the steps of storing a plurality of internal ID codes S203, each of which identifies a direct service provider of one of the SIM cards, receiving from a base station a radio signal containing an ID code identifying a local service provider S205, comparing the received ID code to each of the internal ID codes S207 and, when it is found from the comparison that the local service provider matches one of the direct service providers, switching to the SIM card of that direct service provider S211. Preferably, the internal ID codes may further indicate service providers that are compatible with the direct providers of the SIM cards and if the local service provider does not correspond to any of the direct providers, a priority table can be used S213, which stores priorities, e.g. fee rates (figure 4), for cooperation of the SIM cards with compatible service providers. This enables the selection of a compatible SIM card providing the least expensive call connection for a given call destination S211. For example, there may be four SIM cards whose direct providers are respectively in the USA, France, Taiwan and Japan where additionally, all four SIM cards are compatible with a provider in Germany. When in the USA, France, Taiwan or Japan the SIM card corresponding to the direct provider will be selected automatically. However, when in Germany, a call made to Germany will use the French SIM card as this provides the cheapest call route, while a call made to the USA will use the USA SIM card as this will then provide the cheapest call route. A second invention relates to switching using the priority table.

Title: Thermally insulated expansion pipe arrangement for a water heater
Inventor: VALLIS JOHN EDWARD
IPC: F24D17/00
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: The water heater comprises an upper and lower reservoir 12 and 10 in which cold water is stored in the upper reservoir 12 for feeding the lower reservoir 10 which contains a heater 40. An interconnecting passage 14 transfers cold water from the upper reservoir 12 to the lower reservoir 10 to maintain the level therein. An expansion pipe 16 permits heated water forced out of the lower reservoir 10 by expansion to return to the upper reservoir 12. The expansion pipe 16 is thermally separated from the water in the upper reservoir 12 to prevent heat from the pipe 16 warming up the water in the upper reservoir 12 sufficiently to allow harmful bacteria to form. The pipe 16 may be insulated by means of a sleeve of thermally insulating material surrounding and either in or not in contact with the pipe 16. Alternatively, a sleeve 18 surrounds the pipe 16 with an air gap and a drain may also be provided for draining this gap of any water which collects in it. The pipes 14 and 16 may be made of a material which is resistant to heat flow or be provided with insulating collars (26, 28 Fig. 2). Temperature sensing, audible or visual alarm and control arrangements may also be provided to indicate when the temperature of the water in the upper reservoir 12 has exceeded a predetermined limit.

Title: Repeat transmission in a wireless FH/TDD communication system
Inventor: GOODINGS CHRIS J
IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2001-12-27
Abstract: A time division duplex digital radio frame structure with time and frequency diversity and method for use thereof is presented. Each packet of data is transmitted twice in successive frequency hops, such that the redundant transmission differs in both time and frequency from the primary transmission. A communications system employing the frame structure may be configured to dynamically shift between fully diverse, asynchronous and non-diverse modes of operation. The mode of operation may be selected based upon one or more operating parameters, such as battery power or detected interference. When error correction is implemented and a primary transmission is received without error, system devices may de-power circuitry to reduce power consumption.

Title: Camera incorporating tilt sensor
Inventor: TAYLOR JAMES LEIGH
IPC: H04N1/21
Filed: 2002-01-17
Abstract: A camera incorporates a tilt sensor whose output is acquired by image acquisition means. The additional orientation data so acquired may be used to determine the vertical orientation of any image acquired, hence the image may be processed or presented in the correct orientation. Preferably the tilt sensor differentiates the four main orientations of the camera and hence the image (level, left portrait, right portrait, inverted). Preferably the tilt sensor also detects a high angle of inclination or declination of the camera in which case the image should be interpreted as if the camera were level. The tilt sensor (Fig. 7) may comprise a ball bearing within chamber with 4 facets (23-26) for determining tilt and 2 facets (27, 28 for determining inclination). The ball bearing may be replaced by mercury.
