Patent number: 8668821Abstract: According to the present invention, phenols may be detected using an electrochemical sensor comprising a first compound, a working electrode and an electrolyte in contact with the working electrode, wherein the first compound operatively undergoes a redox reaction at the working electrode to form a second compound which operatively reacts in situ with the phenol, wherein said redox reaction has a detectable redox couple and wherein the sensor is adapted to determine the electrochemical response of the working electrode to the consumption of said second compound on reaction with the phenol. The phenol may be, for example, a cannabinoid or a catechin compound.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Isis Innovation LimitedInventors: Richard Guy Compton, Craig Edward Banks

Patent number: 8634797Abstract: A mobile terminal configured for use in a mobile telecommunications network, the mobile terminal having an emergency notification facility and an identifier, the identifier usable by the network to recognize the mobile terminal as having the emergency notification facility and to change a system access priority for the terminal, where required. Preferably, the terminal also includes a sensing means configured to determine when the mobile terminal is in motion and/or associated with a vehicle and notify the network of such, in order to allow the network to change the system access priority based upon whether or not the terminal is in motion and/or associated with a vehicle. In this regard, mobile terminals with an emergency notification facility, particularly when moving or in a vehicle, are given a higher priority so that an emergency call can be quickly dispatched in the event of an accident.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2009Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Vodafone Group PLCInventors: Colin Dougal McEwen, Robert Edward Banks, Alex Tame
