20150292021 | PROGNOSTIC METHODOLOGY - The invention concerns a prognostic method for determining at least one, or a combination, of the following: time to first treatment, response to treatment or overall survival for a patient presenting with a disease including or characterised by telomere shortening, comprising an assessment of the longest mean telomere length at which telomere end-end fusion events can be detected and then a determination of the mean telomere length in the fusogenic range (i.e. the range below said mean telomere length at which telomere end-end fusion events can be detected) and the subsequent use of the mean telomere length in the fusogenic range as a prognostic indicator. | 10-15-2015 |

20100149184 | SYSTEM AND METHOD PROVIDING MOTION BLUR TO ROTATING OBJECTS - In graphics applications, objects including rotating objects having geometric detail or surface relief are rendered in render targets where pixels are assigned color and depth values by color and depth buffers. A pixel shader performs ray intersection calculations on a primitive approximating the object in the render target to generate three-dimensional world space positions for the pixels. Samples for each pixel are taken around a primitive's axis of rotation, and for each sample, the object in the render target is queried to gather color and depth data for the pixel. The query results are composited and a blurred object is provided in a scene at a desired location and at a depth according to depth data retrieved from the depth buffer. | 06-17-2010 |

20150093259 | Pumping A Multiphase Fluid Using A Pneumatic Pump - A system and methods for pumping a multiphase fluid using a pneumatic pump are described herein. The method includes separating a multiphase fluid into a gas stream and liquid streams, and flowing a liquid stream into a pressure vessel of a pneumatic pump until a liquid level within the pressure vessel reaches a specified high level. The method also includes compressing the gas stream to form a high-pressure gas and pressurizing the pressure vessel by the flowing high-pressure gas into the pressure vessel until a pressure level within the pressure vessel reaches a specified high level. The method further includes pumping the liquid stream from the pressure vessel to a destination until the liquid level within the pressure vessel drops to a specified low level, wherein the high-pressure gas provides a motive force for pumping the liquid stream. | 04-02-2015 |

20090221269 | Method of Configuring a Mobile Telephone to Interact with External Services - A mobile telephone can be configured to interact with external services by using a client application on the telephone that interacts with several external services via an intermediary server. The server sends, to the mobile telephone, configuration information to enable or disable defined sets of functionality in the application, the configuration information depending on and appropriate to the particular external service selected on the mobile telephone and being sent automatically to the mobile telephone over-the-air. An implementation of the invention enables a single client application on the mobile telephone to automatically configure features on/off, and modify the terminology used in resources (such as menus, text strings, bitmap images, sounds, sonic effects etc.) depending on the external system or service that the client is connected to via the intermediary server. | 09-03-2009 |
20100094703 | Method of Enabling a User to Interact with Content Received from a Remote Server - A user interacts with content received from a remote server; content (e.g. feeds from social networking sites, advertisements) is received over a wireless network at a mobile telephone, which then automatically displays a specific item of the content on the mobile telephone, without the user explicitly requesting the display of that specific item of content. In response to the user selecting or highlighting the displayed specific item of content, the mobile telephone lists multiple options that, if individually selected, each initiate an associated action that corresponds to a particular way of responding to or interacting with the specific item of content. | 04-15-2010 |
20100146079 | APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING ADVERTISING CONTENT TO A MOBILE TELEPHONE - A mobile telephone obtains (or is supplied) advertising content from a remote server and locally stores that advertising content. The advertising content is then automatically shown in association with a running, in use (e.g. in foreground) application that generates a screen that an end-user interacts with (‘an end-user application’). The content is shown ‘automatically’ in the sense that the advertising content is displayed without the end-user explicitly requesting any specific item of content, (although he may opt-in to the general approach of having advertising content displayed on his mobile telephone). The telephone itself determines which adverts etc. it should display, depending on which application is currently being used (i.e. is currently displayed on screen). | 06-10-2010 |
20150242904 | METHOD OF ENABLING A USER TO INTERACT WITH CONTENT RECEIVED FROM A REMOTE SERVER - A user interacts with content received from a remote server; content (e.g. feeds from social networking sites, advertisements) is received over a wireless network at a mobile telephone, which then automatically displays a specific item of the content on the mobile telephone, without the user explicitly requesting the display of that specific item of content. In response to the user selecting or highlighting the displayed specific item of content, the mobile telephone lists multiple options that, if individually selected, each initiate an associated action that corresponds to a particular way of responding to or interacting with the specific item of content. | 08-27-2015 |

20110143850 | GOLF AID - The invention relates to a golf training aid comprising a frame, having retaining means, and a bar retained by the retaining means so that in use the bar can move only in a fixed plane. The bar is arranged to be coupled to a user in such a way that in use the user's shoulders are constrained to move in or parallel to the fixed plane. This allows a user to correctly learn a pendulum putting stroke. | 06-16-2011 |

20080224847 | Method and Apparatus for Monitoring Fire Detectors - A hazard detector monitoring system comprises one or more smoke detectors each provided with an electronic device containing information unique to the detector so as to identify the detector. A testing device is located at the end of a pole and held adjacent the detector to read and write to the electronic device through a wireless communication link. The testing device causes the detector to carry out a predetermined operation and the result of the operation is read by the testing device from the electronic device using the wireless communication link together with the identity of the detector. | 09-18-2008 |
20090273464 | SYNTHETIC SMOKE GENERATOR AND SMOKE DETECTOR TESTER USING SUCH A GENERATOR - The present invention relates to an electrically operated device for generating synthetic smoke and also to a hazard detector tester utilizing such a device. The device comprises a collapsible container provided with vaporisable liquid and a tube, one end of which is immersed in the liquid and the other end of which is provided with an electrical heater for vaporising the liquid in the other end of the tub in order to generate smoke. A peristaltic pump is used to pump the liquid through the tube. | 11-05-2009 |
