Abstract: A personal protective vest assembly is described herein. The personal protective vest assembly includes a personal protective vest and a body armor panel positioned within the personal protective vest. The body armor panel includes a ballistic material panel assembly that includes a plurality of layered material segments defined between a strike face and a wear face. Each of the layered material segments includes a different ballistic material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 7-hydroxy-cannabidol (7-OH-CBD) and/or 7-hydroxy-cannabidivarin (7-OH-CBDV) in the treatment of epilepsy. Preferably the cannabinoid metabolites are isolated from plants to produce a highly purified extract or can be reproduced synthetically.

Abstract: There is provided a method of initiating a search for a home network in a mobile device that is attached to a network other than a home network of the mobile device, the method in an apparatus comprising determining whether the mobile device is in a part of said other network where there may be coverage from the home network; and if the mobile device is determined to be in a part of said other network where there may be coverage from the home network, sending a message to said other network in order to change one or more of a voice, messaging and/or data service available to the mobile device, such that the mobile device can enter an idle state and perform a search for the home network.

Abstract: A server receives a request for a service from a first user that defines a location for the service and a category of the service. A first stage of matching is performed that includes determining second users that match the location and category. A second stage of matching is performed that includes performing for each second user: computing a first value that quantifies an attractiveness of the request to that second user, computing a second value that quantifies a likelihood of the first user selecting that second user to fulfill the request, and computing a third value based at least in part on the computed first and second values. A request for the service is transmitted to at least some of the second users whose computed third value exceeds a first threshold value.

Abstract: A cleaning assembly for protecting a finger while cleaning razor blades includes a sleeve that may be worn on the finger. The sleeve protects the finger while cleaning razor blades. The sleeve has a top end, a bottom end and an outer wall extending therebetween. The sleeve has a length between 5 cm and 8 cm. A plurality of bristles is coupled to the sleeve. The bristles may remove debris from between the razor blades.

Abstract: A communication device comprising: a first radio capable of communicating according to a first protocol and having a set of operational modes; and a second radio capable of communicating according to a second protocol, the communication device being configured to, in dependence on one or more communications by the second radio in accordance with the second protocol, selecting one mode of operation for the first radio from the set of operational modes, wherein said one or more communications comprises: sending a first message; and a response or non-response to the first message.

Abstract: A method by which a transmitter and receiver synchronise. The transmitter and receiver are operable in accordance with a protocol which mandates that some transmissions are jittered. The method comprises the transmitter transmitting a pseudo-random seed to the receiver; determining a jitter value based on the pseudo-random seed; and transmitting a synchronisation packet to the receiver at a time determined by the jitter value. The receiver receives the pseudo-random seed from the transmitter; determines timing of a receive window for the synchronisation packet based on the pseudo-random seed; opens the receive window at the determined time; and receives the synchronisation packet within the receive window.

Abstract: A multimedia journal system comprising one or more journal servers and one or more client devices allows users to create an electronic journal. Journals may be redundantly stored in multiple locations so as to protect the journals from damage or destruction. The system also allows control of access to a journal or the parts thereof, and will allow a journal's owner to designate family members, friends, or others access to the journal in the event the owner passes away. Entries may be sealed to prevent or identify subsequent modifications or tampering. A sealed questionnaire is also provided, which users may answer periodically to track changes in their thoughts, feelings, or ideology. The system may be accessible via the World Wide Web.
