Patent number: 9639860Abstract: A user interacts with content received from a remote server; content (e.g. feeds from social networking sites, advertisements) is received over a wireless network at a mobile telephone, which then automatically displays a specific item of the content on the mobile telephone, without the user explicitly requesting the display of that specific item of content. In response to the user selecting or highlighting the displayed specific item of content, the mobile telephone lists multiple options that, if individually selected, each initiate an associated action that corresponds to a particular way of responding to or interacting with the specific item of content.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Inventors: Lei Bramley, Russell Bulmer, Andrew Tiller, Neil Pepper, Graham French, Owen Day

Patent number: 9451385Abstract: A mobile telephone obtains (or is supplied) advertising content from a remote server and locally stores that advertising content. The advertising content is then automatically shown in association with a running, in use (e.g. in foreground) application that generates a screen that an end-user interacts with (‘an end-user application’). The content is shown ‘automatically’ in the sense that the advertising content is displayed without the end-user explicitly requesting any specific item of content, (although he may opt-in to the general approach of having advertising content displayed on his mobile telephone). The telephone itself determines which adverts etc. it should display, depending on which application is currently being used (i.e. is currently displayed on screen).Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Synchronoss Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Lei Bramley, Russell Bulmer, Andrew Tiller, Neil Pepper

Patent number: 8270961Abstract: A mobile telephone can be configured to interact with external services by using a client application on the telephone that interacts with several external services via an intermediary server. The server sends, to the mobile telephone, configuration information to enable or disable defined sets of functionality in the application, the configuration information depending on and appropriate to the particular external service selected on the mobile telephone and being sent automatically to the mobile telephone over-the-air. An implementation of the invention enables a single client application on the mobile telephone to automatically configure features on / off, and modify the terminology used in resources (such as menus, text strings, bitmap images, sounds, sonic effects etc.) depending on the external system or service that the client is connected to via the intermediary server.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2007Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Critical Path Data Centre LimitedInventors: Russell Bulmer, Graham French, Neil Pepper, Stephen Rogers, Adam Connors, Lei Bramley, Andrew Tiller

Patent number: 5948474Abstract: A method for impregnating rock or landscaping material with bio-active and/or colored fluid. To impregnate the rock or landscaping material with bio-active chemical, the rock or landscaping material is heated to dehydrate it, and cooled to an ambient temperature in a dehumidified chamber, and then placed in a pressurizable container which is filled with bio-active chemical. The pressurizable container is placed under pressure for a sufficient time that the bio-active fluid is forced into the interstices of the rock or landscaping material. When the rock or landscaping material is removed from the pressurizable container, it has been impregnated with bio-active chemical and gradually emits the bio-active chemical. The rock or landscaping material may be cleaned using water or a solvent. The bio-active chemical used can be a herbicide, pesticide, plant or insect growth hormones, repellents of cats, dogs, mice, or other pests, or fertilizers.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1997Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Inventors: Norman Andrew Tiller, Louis George Grundel

Patent number: 5702780Abstract: A method for impregnating rock or mineral with scented and/or colored fluid. To impregnate the rock or mineral with scented fluid, the rock or mineral is heated to dehydrate it, and cooled to an ambient temperature in a dehumidified chamber, and then placed in a pressurizable container which is filled with scented fluid. The pressurizable container is placed under pressure for a sufficient time that the scented fluid is forced into the interstices of the rock or mineral. When the rock or mineral is removed from the pressurizable container, it has been impregnated with scented fluid and emits a pleasant odor. The rock or mineral may be cleaned using water or a solvent.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1995Date of Patent: December 30, 1997Inventors: Norman Andrew Tiller, Louis George Grundel
