Title: Software loading
Inventor: SAFA JOHN A
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2001-10-17
Granted: 2005-02-02
Abstract: Software loading is effected by means of a header 40 and software modules STUB 1 , STUB 2 etc. The header 40 calls each stub in appropriate order, installing the stub in a loader region 42 , executing the stub and then removing it. The STUBS may be encrypted and may be installed at random or pseudo-random locations in the region 42 . Generic breaches of security, such as "riding the loader" are prevented because the stubs appear only transiently and at unpredictable positions. Security may be further improved by selecting each stub from a group of alternatives which are differently coded but functionally equivalent.

Title: Fire detection and alarm system with selective fire warning
Inventor: PAYNE ROGER DENNIS
IPC: G08B25/01
Filed: 1998-09-30
Granted: 2003-05-07
Abstract: A fire detection and alarm system has fire detecting devices of different types (T1,T2) and alarm means connected across supply lines. Both types of device normally apply a high impedance across the supply lines in a standby condition, and a low impedance in an alarm condition. The fire detecting devices are operable by a first voltage. This is lower than a second voltage applied, by a CCU, to the lines in an alarm condition for operating the alarm means. The alarm means respond to operating current supplied under different conditions to give respectively different kinds of fire warnings. Each first and second type of fire detecting device has current limiting means for differently limiting the respective current drain on the supply lines in the alarm condition. The CCU is operable to cause the supply line voltage to be momentarily reduced below the second voltage, so that the alarm means is momentarily deactivated, whereby the CCU can then respond to the supply line voltage, due to the respective current drain of the current limiting means, so as to apply the operating current to the alarm means to give the required fire warning. This enables priority to be given to a manual call point.

Title: Portable telephone set and communications system incorporating same
Inventor: OGINO TOORU
IPC: H04W52/04
Filed: 1999-04-08
Granted: 2002-12-04
Abstract: A portable telephone set controls the amplification factor of an amplifier to control the transmission power of the portable telephone set based on a control signal transmitted from the base station. If the control signal transmitted from the base station controls the transmission power so as to be equal to or smaller than a predetermined level, then a first switching means sets the amplifier to an ON-state. If the control signal transmitted from the base station controls the transmission power so as to be greater than the predetermined level, then the first switching means sets the amplifier to an OFF-state. While the amplifier is being set to the OFF-state by the first switching means, if the amplifier is set to the ON-state by a second switching means only when the user of the portable telephone set communicates via the portable telephone set, then the amplifier is in the ON-state only during the communication if the transmission power is controlled so as to exceed the predetermined level.
