  • Patent number: 8935208
    Abstract: A method of defining a backup state of a file system is provided. A change in an electronic file stored on a computer system is detected. If the change is detected, a backup state of the electronic file is updated using an overlay icon associated with the electronic file. The overlay icon is presented in a user interface displaying the file system of the computer system. The backup state indicates that the electronic file is selected for backup processing if the change is detected. If the backup state indicates the electronic file is selected for backup processing, a copy of the electronic file is sent to a second computer system accessible by the computer system using a network.

  • Patent number: 5940038
    Abstract: A radio telephone, which may be a mobile telephone, a cordless telephone or similar, has an outer housing, a fixed antenna mounted substantially within the housing and a cooperating external antenna. The external antenna is arranged to be brought into cooperating proximity to the fixed antenna, such that the telephone communicates via a capacitive coupling between the fixed antenna and the external antenna. The external antenna may be supported within a desk support for the telephone, including hands free operating devices and charging devices. Alternatively, the external antenna may clip onto a protruding section of the internal antenna.
