Title: Network usage monitoring with standard message format
Inventor: BRUNET XAVIER
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2006-06-08
Abstract: A network usage management system comprises a number of collectors 30A-D, 40A-B, 42 which record network usage data pertaining to data sources such as network device 14, session sources 16 or application services 18. The collectors may be arranged into a hierarchy of levels of collector. Each of the collectors in a first level 30A-D processes network data 50A-D to produce a record of events in a standard format such as normalised metered event (NME). This NME data is then passed to collectors in a second level 40A-B where it is correlated to define correlated NME data and may also be passed to log collector 80. This correlated NME data can be passed to a third level of collector 42 for farther correlation. Each collector comprises an encapsulator (110, fig. 2) to convert the received network data into the standardised format, an aggregator (112, fig 2) to filter the encapsulated data according to pre-defined rules in rule engine (150, figure 3) and data storage (114, fig 2) to store the log file before subsequent transmission to the log collector or next collector.

Title: Verifying the location of structural damage by detecting acoustic emissions
Inventor: STOTHERS IAN MCGREGOR
IPC: G01N29/14
Filed: 2004-07-15
Abstract: The location of a source of an acoustic emission AE in a structure (especially an aircraft) is determined by detecting acoustic emissions from a region of structural damage with a plurality of acoustic sensors and processing the detected emissions using a model characterising the effects of acoustic paths within the structure. The model data is determined by artificially inducing different types of acoustic emission events at a grid of known locations on the structure and detecting the induced acoustic emissions. The determined location of an earlier acoustic emission may be confirmed by inducing acoustic emissions with a moveable acoustic emission source at positions in the region of the determined location. Damage to the structure may be correlated with mode of use of the structure by acquiring operation parameters relating to the use of the structure. A system and method for simulating acoustic emissions with various acoustic emission signatures is also disclosed.

Title: Generating message schedules
Inventor: KALLIOLA JANNE
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2008-05-02
Abstract: A method and system for generating a schedule for use in the transmission of messages is provided. Messaging campaigns and profile information relating to potential message recipients are managed by system 2, with each campaign being associated with one or more predefined criteria, such as required recipient profile and number of messages to be sent. A first allocation algorithm is used to define a first allocation of messages relating to one or more of the messaging campaigns based or the predefined criteria and the profile information. A second allocation algorithm, different from the first algorithm, is used to define a second allocation of messages relating to one or more of the messaging campaigns based or the predefined criteria and the profile information. One of the first or second allocations is then selected, based upon criteria, and a message schedule is generated on the basis of the selected algorithm.

Title: A tile spacer grid
Inventor: HILTON ANDREW
IPC: B44C1/28
Filed: 2008-06-16
Abstract: A tile spacer grid is configured to be positioned in abutment with another such spacer grid, to build a double-layer spacer assembly of grids that can be sandwiched between a tile and a supporting surface. The grid is asymmetric with the fist side thereof characterised by a first distribution of first abutment surfaces 5, and on a second side thereof with a second distribution of second abutment surfaces 7. The first abutment surfaces 5 are located at a greater distance from the mid-plane of the grid than location of the second abutment surfaces 7. Two grids can be positioned relative to one another in three possible configurations. A first configuration of the two grids comprises the first abutment surfaces on one grid to cooperate with first abutment surfaces on the other grid to determine a relatively thick overall thickness of the double-layer assembly of two grids. A second configuration of the two grids comprises the first abutment surfaces on one grid to cooperate with second abutment surfaces on the other grid to provide a double-layer assembly of grids of intermediate thickness. A third configuration of the two grids comprises the second abutment surfaces on one grid to cooperate with second abutment surfaces on the other grid to provide a double-layer assembly of grids of relatively thin overall thickness. The first and second abutment surfaces are provided as the bases of recesses formed in the outwardly facing walls of the grids.

Inventor: COLLINS MICHAEL
IPC: B60J7/10
Filed: 2009-12-01
Abstract: A canvas cover securing system comprises a fixing member adapted to releasably lock an eyelet mounted within the canvas. The fixing member, which in use would be attached to the object to be covered, comprises a base member and a locking member.

Title: Improvements in card filing and sorting cabinets
IPC: G06K21/02
Filed: 1934-04-03
Abstract: 418,632. Statistical - apparatus. BUCKERIDGE, W., 263, Murray Street, Perth, Australia. April 3, 1934, No. 10045. [Class 106 (i).] Sorting cards.-In a card filing and sorting cabinet there are thin (sheet metal) separating members 44 between the cards and contacting frictionally therewith, and means are provided for moving the separating members as a whole, so that any unlocked card is moved frictionally with the members. Each card 46, Fig. 8, has lugs 46a which are cut away so as to leave only those lugs which correspond to the characterizing numbers or letters of the card. These lugs are locked by bars 57 extending across all the cards and when a card is in its normal position an indicator 47 is swung clockwise by hand from the position shown in Fig. 8 to indicate that the space is occupied. Otherwise, a forward indicator 47 shows that the space between two plates 44 is empty. To select a particular card, the corresponding keys 49 are depressed : these, through bell - cranks 50, links 51, and cranks 52 on shafts 53 connected to the bars 57, retract the latter so as to release that card corresponding to the keys depressed. Handle 42. is then turned and its shaft 32 rotates cams 33, one at each end of the shaft. These cams lower two heavy links 34 pivoted at 35 to plates 36 which carry rods 37, 38, 39. These rods, of which the rods 38, 39 are connected at each end by a link 41, pass through holes in the friction plates 44, so that as shaft 32 and links 34 pull down the rods 37-39, the latter carry the plates 44 frictionally with them and thus lower the card which has been unlocked. A front gate, consisting of two vertical members 60, 61 connected by cross-bars 62, 63, is pivoted at 60<a>, 61<a> to the front of the cabinet and is connected by links 66, 68 to a lever 69 pivoted at 69<a> and rigid with an arm 70. The arm 70, of which there is one at each end of the cabinet, has a slot engaging a pin 71 on an ejecting bar 72. When the gate 60, 61 is raised manually clockwise about its pivot, Fig. 3, to the position of Fig. 8, the bar 72 is drawn forward and carries with it the card which has been unlocked and lowered by plates 44 into the path of bar 72. When the gate 60, 61 is restored downwards, the bar 72 is retracted and a vertical bar is pressed against the ends of locking bars 57. The latter have inclined slots coacting with fixed guide rods. Any moved bars 57 are thus restored forwards to locking position as they are pressed longitudinally.
