Patent number: 10735893Abstract: Embodiments are directed to geo-fencing and methods for ensuring the number of elements in a given cache entry in a geo-fence server is consistent, and managing requests to retrieve cache elements from the geo-fence server for use by a mobile computer device. Having determined whether the grid tile within which a mobile computer is located is wholly within the page boundary of a page of geo-fence data, a geo-fence server provides the page to the mobile computer device if the number of geo-fences in the page does not exceed a predetermined number of geo-fences. Otherwise, the size of the grid tile is reduced by a depth index. The geo-fence server then determines if the new smaller grid tile is with the page boundary and performs repeats the process until the appropriate page having an appropriate number of geo-fence data therein can be provided to the mobile computer device.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: BLUEDOT INNOVATION PTY LTDInventor: Andrew Stirling

Publication number: 20070215821Abstract: A shielding apparatus for an irradiator having an enclosed irradiation zone comprises conveying means adapted to convey carts carrying products for irradiation through an entry port into a shielded first tunnel section extending in a substantially straight path to the irradiation zone, and thence through a shielded second tunnel section extending in a substantially straight path from the irradiation zone to an exit port. The tunnel sections have a substantially identical vertical cross-section which is uniform along their lengths, and each cart has end walls comprising an irradiation shield means configured for a clearance fit with the uniform cross-section of the tunnel sections. Each tunnel section has at least one displacement zone, adapted to reduce radiation leakage from the irradiation zone towards the entry and exit ports.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2004Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventors: Andrew Stirling, Gerald Hare

Publication number: 20050152382Abstract: Examples of local communication systems are disclosed, based on a ring of point-to-point links, providing for transport of fixed rate synchronous, fixed rate asynchronous data and variable rate data in a flexible format. Different segments of the ring network can carry data at different bit rates, while remaining synchronised to a common frame rate and having a common control channel structure, for compatibility with earlier systems. Parallel channels are provided, either permanently or when required, for signalling errors of source data, data validity/padding, flow control. Parallel variable width channels are defined with free content (stream or packet). Null data symbols are defined for padding on a byte-by-byte basis. The allocation of capacity among variable width channels is revised block by block, and a transition period is defined to allow for ring latency.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2005Publication date: July 14, 2005Applicant: Communication & Control Electronics LimitedInventors: Andrew Stirling, Simon Pendergast, Harivaden Parmar
