  • Patent number: 8805365
    Abstract: A method performed by a mobile device to register for cellular data connection service provided by a mobile telecommunications service provider. The mobile device determines that it does not have a valid cellular data connection subscription with the mobile telecommunications service provider. Responsive to that determination, the mobile device connects to a cellular data connection service registration site to allow a user of the mobile device to register for data connection service provided by the mobile telecommunications service provider. The mobile device is limited to accessing the data connection service registration site until the user registers for data connection service.

  • Publication number: 20110061681
    Abstract: A cleaning and obstruction locating pipeline pig according to this invention includes a magnetic nose bumper at its forward end and a disc located in the central bypass flow passageway that prevents product from flowing through the central bypass flow passageway while the pig is travelling forward in the pipeline. If debris ahead of the pig causes the pig to become stuck in the pipeline, product flow pressing upon the disc ruptures the disc, thereby allowing product to flow through the central bypass flow passageway until the pig is located and removed from the pipeline. The pig may also be used to locate a previously launched but stuck pipeline pig.

  • Patent number: 6480725
    Abstract: A telephone is disclosed which comprises a memory (6) for storing first information, such as ID information, and a memory module receiver (10) for removably receiving a memory module for storing second information, such as ID information. The telephone also comprises a microprocessor (4) for detecting a change in contact between the memory module and the memory module receiver (10) since the previous use of the telephone. The microprocessor (4) uses the first information when the memory module and receiving means are not in contact and the second information when memory module and receiving means are in contact whilst there is no change detected. However, when a change is detected, the information to be used by the microprocessor (4) is selected, either automatically or manually.
