Title: Dental Bridge
Inventor: ROBERTSON STEVEN
IPC: A61C13/225
Filed: 2012-06-14
Abstract: A dental bridge system 38 comprises spaced apart natural teeth 40, 42, each having a natural crown (52) and a root. At least one of the natural teeth (40, 42) is canted so as to present a sloping occlusal surface (44) on the crown. A pontic 12 is interposed between the said neighbouring natural teeth and a bridge element 14 bonds the pontic 12 to the neighbouring natural teeth. The bridge element 14 extends as an onlay, at least in part, onto the neighbouring sloping occlusal surface. Preferably it tapers in a converging direction, away from the pontic 12, so that the bridge element 14 provides the neighbouring said natural tooth 42 with a reoriented occlusal surface (68). The reoriented occlusal surface is preferably a relevelling of the sloping occlusal surface, whereby a patient's dentition or bite can be corrected. A dental bridge 10 for use in such a system and a method of using a dental bridge 10 to repair a patient's dentition or bite are also provided.

Title: Channel contention for a shared medium
Inventor: BADDOO GEOFFREY JAMES AKWEI
IPC: G06F13/376
Filed: 2012-07-26
Abstract: A method of contending for access, by a communication device, of a shared communication medium for transmission of data in a communications network, involves the device setting a contention metric value S1-4, for comparison with any incoming control messages also indicative of attempts to contend for the medium S1-6, S1-8. Contention metric values from incoming control messages are compared with the selected contention metric value and, on the basis of the comparison S1-8, a decision is taken as to continuing for contention for the medium or discontinuing S1-24. The device can be said to have gained access to the medium when it has completed a requisite period of listening to the medium S1-12, with no incoming message received indicative of a stronger claim to the medium S1-14. The incoming control messages are messages broadcast by other devices contending for the medium. The contention metric value is a number chosen from a range of possible values indicating a current priority associated with the device, this number may be randomly chosen by the device from the possible range of values.

Title: Subscriber Identification Management Broker for fixed/mobile networks
Inventor: TAGG JAMES PETER
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2010-09-22
Abstract: There is provided a method for managing the automatic provision of a local subscriber network identifier from a central network server to a roaming subscribed communication device. The central server receives notification relating to a change in the current location for the subscribed device. It can then be determined from the notification and from a list of subscriber network identifiers allocated to the subscribed device whether a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned from the central server. A subscriber network identifier can then be provided on the basis of the current location, if the determining step has determined that a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned. The selected subscriber network identifier is output for transmission to the subscribed device and added to the list of subscriber network identifiers allocated to the subscribed device. A preferred caller line identification (CLI) is then obtained from a database containing a plurality of CLIs for the subscribed device and output for use in completing communication channel set-up. The subscriber network identifier is an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI). A Home Location Register scanner may inform the central server of the change of location of the subscribed device. The HLR may provide an IMSI list to the central server or may provide a subset of local IMSIs suitable for the current location. Different supplementary services may be associated with different subscriber network identifiers. All data services may be provided consistently for some or all of the subscription network identifiers for the subscribed device.

Title: Quench pressure reduction for superconducting magnet by reducing heat flux from coil to cryogen
Inventor: ASTRA EUGENE
IPC: H01F6/02
Filed: 2013-02-04
Abstract: A method for reducing gas pressure within a cryogen vessel housing a superconducting magnet during quenching comprises deliberately heating a superconducting coil to cause film boiling of cryogen in contact with a surface of the superconducting coil. The film boiling may reduce the rate of thermal transfer to the liquid cryogen below the rate without heating by reducing the contact surface area between the coil and the liquid cryogen. The heating may be performed by secondary coils of resistive wire inductively coupled and mechanically attached to the superconducting coil. The secondary coils may form closed electrical circuits whereby, in case of a quench, electrical current is induced in the secondary coils and heats the coil surface to cause film boiling. The secondary coil may be provided as an overbinding. Alternatively, the heating may be performed by a quench propagation circuit including at least one quench heater attached to the superconducting coils.
