Title: Centrifugal brush filter apparatus
Inventor: THORNE JOHN
IPC: B01D46/28
Filed: 2002-09-19
Abstract: A method of removing liquid droplets suspended in a gas stream comprises the step of feeding the gas stream into a rotating brush 6. The liquid droplets impinge on the fibres 6, travel along the them centrifugally and are flung outwards to a collection means 26,40. The inlet gas stream is along the axis and the outlet gas stream either is radial or is parallel to the axis at a larger radius than the radius of the inlet, whereby the rotating brush 6 acts as both an effective filter and a centrifugal fan. Also disclosed is a filter apparatus for removal of droplets in a gas stream and a method of deodorising/sterilising air.

Patent GB-2398969-A (GB)
Title: Message management between communication units with differing capabilities
Inventor: DANNE ANDERS
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2003-02-27
Abstract: The invention enables efficient management of messages in a communication system. A messaging center (100) generates, in response to reception of a request message from a first user (200) and intended to a second user (300), transaction information. This information is stored in a database (180) together with an identifier of the first user (200). A temporary address is generated based on the transaction information and an identifier of the center (100). A second request message including the temporary address is transmitted to the second user (300). Due to careful choice of the temporary address, the second user (300) may easily transmit a response message to the center (100). Upon reception, the center (100) extracts the temporary address from the response message and extracts the transaction information from the address. Then, the identifier is retrieved from the database (180) based on the transaction information and a second response message is transmitted to the first user (200) based on the retrieved identifier.

Title: Notification mechanism for a push to talk (PTT) enabled device
Inventor: BATAILLARD CHRISTOPHE JEAN
IPC: H04M1/724
Filed: 2003-05-16
Abstract: A communications device 1 (for example, a mobile telephone) is enabled to effect Push To Talk (PTT) communications. To ease a user who is only familiar with operation of a conventional mobile telephone, the device includes a visual notification mechanism, for alerting the user to the presence of a PTT communication. In this way, an elliptical ring 6 on the PTT switch 2 is illuminated when it is detected that a PTT communication is being received. It is believed that this will help the user to realise a PTT communication is being received and to distinguish it from a conventional telephone call. Also, a preferred feature is to illuminate the ring 6 when a PTT transmission is being made. Various embodiments for the light source are disclosed including multiple LED's or bulbs of various colours to distinguish between incoming and outgoing calls.

Title: Method and apparatus for visualization of 3D voxel data using lit opacity volumes with shading
Inventor: REPIN DMITRITY G
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2001-12-14
Abstract: A volume rendering process is disclosed for improving the visual quality of images produced by rendering and displaying volumetric data in voxel format for the display of three-dimensional data on a two-dimensional display, with opacity (1402) and shading (1404) to control the realistic display of images rendered from the voxels. The process includes partitioning the plurality of voxels among a plurality of slices with each slice corresponding to a respective region of the volume. Each voxel includes an opacity value adjusted by applying an opacity curve to the value. The opacity value of each voxel in each cell in the volume is convened into a new visual opacity value that is used to calculate a new visual opacity gradient (1403) for only one voxel in the center of each cell. The visual opacity gradient is used to calculate the shading used to modify the color of the individual voxels based on the orientation of opacity isosurfaces passing through each voxel in the volume in order to create a high quality realistic image.

Patent GB-2401511-A (GB)
Title: Adaptive frequency hopping strategy
Inventor: JONES HUW BRYN
IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2002-01-03
Abstract: During operation of the communications link between a first and second transceiver communicates on a frequency hopping communications link using a hop sequence selected from a plurality of a frequency channels, noisy channels that require substitution are identified, such as through the detection of errors in consecutive transmissions on the frequency channel. A congestion control value is derived based upon the number of frequency channels in the hop sequence that have required substitution to reflect the resultant increase in the amount of traffic on the link imposed by such channel substitutions. If the congestion control value is below a first threshold level, the identified channel is substituted with one of the spare channels by transmitting an unacknowledged substitution command on two consecutive frequency hops. If the congestion control value exceeds the first threshold value, but remains below a second threshold, then a repair process is initiated, whereby the entire hop sequence is communicated over the communications link, If the congestion control value exceeds the second threshold, then the communications link is not of sufficient quality to carry on communications, and the link is shut down in an orderly manner by the communications system.
