Patent number: 10855850Abstract: Data is processed in a telecommunications network. First and second notifications are received, via an input interface, from first and second Charging Trigger Functions, CTFs, in the telecommunications network. The first and second notifications relate to network resource usage in the telecommunications network. A scalable transformation function is used to transform data derived from the first and second notifications into a first usage detail report in a first detail report format and a second usage detail report in a second, different detail report format. The first and second usage detail reports are output, via an output interface, to at least one recipient system.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Metaswitch Networks Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Ian Jackson, Matthew John Russell, Josephine Julie Adkin, Matthew Williams, Andrew Munro Caldwell, David Graeme Robertson

Patent number: 9097629Abstract: An apparatus for holding a tissue sample having a retaining member with a first tissue engaging surface and at least one biasing element. The first tissue engaging surface is moveably attached to the retaining member. The apparatus also has a base comprising a second tissue engaging surface which is configured to engage the retaining member to form an interior area with the first and second tissue engaging surfaces facing each other. The apparatus also has a retracting member connected to the retaining member which is configured to retract the first tissue engaging surface and compress the biasing element to form a gap between the tissue sample and one of the first tissue engaging surface and the second tissue engaging surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Leica Biosystems Nussloch GmbHInventors: Florian Boehl, Stella Knorr, Peter Kotlarski, Graeme Robertson, Chris Ryan, Ian Sohn, Wilfred Bauwens, Fernando Dias

Publication number: 20060266602Abstract: A shock absorber assembly includes a motion damping means that is filled with a fluid in operation and has a pair of relatively moveable parts (12, 14) and valve means (26) permitting flow of the fluid between the parts. The parts comprise a first part (12) and a second part (14) in which the first part is receivable whereby the parts are arranged for relative retracting and extending movement during which fluid is forced through the valve means (26) at respective predetermined controlled flow rates so as to dampen the movement. The relatively moveable parts contain respective primary chambers (24, 29) for the fluid. The first part is substantially smaller in cross-section than the second part to define an intermediate chamber (52) about the first part within the second part. Lateral port means (56) communicates the intermediate chamber (52) and the primary chamber (24) of first part (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2004Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventor: Graeme Robertson

Publication number: 20060091591Abstract: A suspension unit (110) for a suspension system has an accumulator (12) for holding and maintaining a fluid such as a gas under pressure. The accumulator is associated with a motion damping unit (114) that is filled with a fluid, such as an oil, in operation. The accumulator includes a floating piston (122) that separates a first chamber (120) in which is stored the pressurised gas, and a second chamber (124) for storing the other fluid under pressure. A third chamber (128) in the motion damping unit (114) is in fluid flow communication with the second chamber (124) of said accumulator through valve means (126) controlling the flow of fluid between the chambers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2005Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventor: Graeme Robertson
