Title: Superconducting microwave radiation thruster
Inventor: ROGER JOHN SHAWYER
IPC: H05B6/64
Filed: 2015-04-07
Abstract: A superconducting microwave radiation thruster used to accelerate a spacecraft or an airborne vehicle comprises a tapered central section 2 with a minor end plate 1 at one end and a major end plate 3 at the other end. The minor end plate is specially shaped and attached to the tapered section with both parts being formed of non-superconducting material. The major end plate 3 is flat and made of superconducting material and is attached to the tapered section by screws. A single crystal sapphire substrate 4 is glued to the major end plate. Thrust is generated via a thrust plate 11 that is connected via a thermal insulator 10 and cooler 7 to the major end plate. The geometry is intended to simplify the manufacturing of the thruster. The thruster includes circularly polarised input and detector antennae which, when combined with a phase locked loop control circuit, enable the input frequency to be corrected for Doppler shifts, caused by acceleration of the thruster. These Doppler shifts would otherwise cause a decrease in cavity Q value, and thus a decrease in output thrust.

Title: Architecture for provisioning and billing
Inventor: AZZOPARDI DANIEL
IPC: H04W8/18
Filed: 2015-05-05
Abstract: A mobile terminal is provisioned at a cellular network so that the mobile terminal can receive a communications service from a service provider network through the cellular network. The service provider network is logically separate from the cellular network. A provisioning message is communicated from the service provider network to a provisioning system of the cellular network. The provisioning message causes direct adjustment of one or more service parameters of a subscription for the mobile terminal in the cellular network. The one or more service parameters comprise: a data rate or bandwidth; a data volume allowance; a priority; and a Quality of Service, QoS, parameter. The provisioning message provides information to adjust the one or more service parameters of the subscription in correspondence with one or more parameters of the service set at the service provider network. The step of communicating comprises communication through an integration gateway in the cellular network, wherein the integration gateway provides an XML data over HTTPS protocol interface to allow communication of the provisioning message.
