Abstract: An internet-based location intelligence system comprising, A central data storage arranged to receive a signal at from a first remote electronic device which provides information concerning a location, including a) When visit was/is, and/or b) Reason for visit, and/or c) Length of visit, and/or d) size of travel group, and/or e) how destination was reached/will be reached, central data storage being arranged to receive a signal at a central data storage from a second remote electronic device which requests information regarding the same location, central data storage being arranged to provide information to user at the second remote electronic device, and central data storage being arranged to permit communication between the use of the second remote electronic device and the first remote electronic device so that information concerning the location can be shared.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic image storage and display system. The system comprises a storage means for storing a plurality of images. The plurality of images are taken, at a location between two sides of a road, on a pavement or the like at a side of a road, or between buildings at two sides of a road, at adjacent locations along the sides of the roads, so that they cover the total extent of a plurality of roads. The system comprises a location selection interface, e.g. a map interface 12 or drop down menus, arranged to allow a user to select a location and the system is arranged to receive and process selection, and retrieve an image of a selected location from storage means. The system can sequence a plurality of images of a selected path and play the path back in order. The system also comprises a map 18 which can display the selected location markers as a series of images, e.g. relating to a path, are displayed. The system may be internet based.

Abstract: A flight control system for preventing an aircraft colliding with designated man-made structures in which the geographical position of the aircraft is determined and then compared with predetermined geographical boundaries that represent excluded zones; these zones being defined around the man-made structures; where the system, as appropriate, overrides a normal flight control system (such as a fly-by-wire flight system) to alter the course of the aircraft to avoid all excluded zones, irrespective of any pilot commands.

Abstract: A flight control system for preventing an aircraft colliding with designated man-made structures comprising means for determining the geographical position of the aircraft and means for comparing it with pre-determined geographical boundaries that may correspond to excluded zones; where the system of the inventions as appropriate, overrides a normal flight control system (such as a fly-by-wire flight system) to alter the course of the aircraft so that it avoids such pre-determined geographical boundaries; irrespective of any pilot commands.
