Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating transferring of a conference call. In some embodiments, users of a secure mobile device may be provided with the ability to transfer a media session for use in a conference call to a non-secure communication device. The method may include displaying a user interface on the primary communication device, the user interface including a transfer option, receiving a command selecting the transfer option, sending a transfer request from the primary communication device to the conference call controller to link an alternate communication device within the conference call session, and determining whether the transfer request requires authentication, and if so performing authentication of the transfer request.

Abstract: A therapeutic hand exercise device comprises one or more pliant sleeves (5) for attachment to one or more digits of a human hand, a chamber (4) provided in at least a dorsal region of the or each pliant sleeve (5), a liquid inlet to the chamber and a pump (3) for supplying pressurised liquid to the or each chamber. Each pliant sleeve (5) is movable between a relaxed state and a stiffened state in which the pliant sleeve forms a substantially rigid elongate member for holding a finger disposed within the sleeve in an extended position. A resilient member (6) is fitted to the Palmar side of each pliant sleeve which returns the finger to a state of contracture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a backup module operative for a content item delivery system. The backup module is configured to: identify a series of user invoked interruptions, each user invoked interruption comprising a transition between the display of a first content item and the display of a second content item prior to completion of said first content item; store interruption records each including a locator to a said first content item subject to a corresponding said user invoked interruption; and initiate display of a said first content item based on a said interruption record corresponding to the said first content item responsive to a backup signal.

Abstract: An antenna assembly is operative for receiving interrogating radiation at a variable frequency tag and generating a corresponding received signal, and for receiving a signature signal and radiating corresponding response radiation. A logic unit is operative for receiving the received signal and outputting the signature signal in response, the signature signal including a signature code for use in identifying the tag. A voltage controlled oscillator is operative for controlling a rate at which the signature code is output; and a power supply is operative for providing an electrical potential difference for energizing the tag. The voltage controlled oscillator is operable to output the signature code at a rate which is governed by the magnitude of the received signal.

Abstract: A personal care composition is disclosed comprising abrasive particles. The personal care composition may take a variety of forms such as a leave-on composition or an emulsion and/or may comprise one or more actives or agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a module and method. A content item options module operative for a content item delivery system, is configured to: determine a change in content type of a content item being delivered to a content item receiver apparatus for display on a display apparatus; initiate display of one or more content item identifiers on said display apparatus corresponding to one or more other content items; and respond to selection of a one of said one or more content item identifiers to initiate display of a corresponding other content item on said display apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communications system (100), comprising one or more communications networks (104); a plurality of content items accessible over said one or more communications networks; a plurality of content item receivers (108) operative to access one or more of said plurality of content items over said one or more communications networks; a data store of configuration data for one or more of said plurality of content item receivers; a search module operative to identify one or more of said plurality of content items and corresponding metadata responsive to a search request from a one content item receiver of said plurality of content item receivers; and a content filter module operative to filter content items identified by said search module in dependence on configuration data corresponding to said one of said plurality of content item receivers to generate a list of content items. The invention also relates to an apparatus and method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communications system (100), comprising: one or more communications net-works (104); a plurality of content items accessible over said one or more communications networks; and a data store (110) of presentation configuration data for one or more of said plurality of content items for defining presentation of a content item corresponding to presentation configuration data. The present invention also relates to an apparatus and method.
