Title: Integrated information communication system
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 1998-10-05
Abstract: An integrated information communications (ICS) system provides data from a Data Providing Corporation (DPC) 16200-1 to users 16500-1 to 16520-1 via a Satellite Transmission Corporation (STC) 16300-1 by means of a satellite 16400-1 channel. Access control apparatus 16100-1, 16120-1 etc of the ICS 16000-1, convert between ICS user frames external to the ICS and ICS network frames within the ICS. Data to be provided by the DPC is sent from the DPC to the STC. A link is established through the ICS between the DPC and the users, by means of TCP protocol operating between IP terminals 16210-1, 16310-1, 16501-1 etc. The link is used to initiate download of the data from the STC over the satellite channel, 16600-1, 16400-1 16610-1 etc. It is stated that this provides full duplex communication. Instead of TCP protocol, the system may use UDP protocol consisting of TCP without the connection establishment or connection ending phases. Download can be initiated by an inquiry from a user, or by a notification from the DPC. In an alternative arrangement, the satellite forms part of the ICS network.

Title: Examing a diamond
IPC: G01N21/87
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: In order to determine whether a blue-to-green diamond (1) has been artificially irradiated or ion bombarded to change its colour, it is irradiated with light of 633 nm wavelength in order to stimulate the emission of luminescence, and luminescence from about 680 to about 800 nm is detected using a confocal microscope (3) and a spectrometer (8) as the focal plane (9) is scanned vertically through the diamond (1). A rapid decrease in luminescence with increase in depth indicates natural irradiation whilst a more rapid decrease indicates ion bombardment. Alternatively, in order to determine whether a diamond (1) is a natural/synthetic doublet, it is irradiated with radiation of 325 nm wavelength in order to stimulate the emission of luminescence, and luminescence from 330 to 450 nm is detected. An abrupt change in luminescence with increase in depth indicates that the diamond is a natural/synthetic doublet.
