Abstract: Provided herein are compositions of mycelium material, and methods for production thereof. Also provided herein are articles of footwear includes an upper, a lasting board affixed with the upper to define an interior foot-receiving cavity therewith, and an outsole coupled with the upper opposite the lasting board. The upper includes at least a portion of a mycelium material that includes one or more proteins derived from an organism other than mycelium.

Abstract: A cognitive ability level identification device is disclosed. The device is configured to present cognitive test to a user and to measure the user's response to the test. When the user fails the test, the device is configured to prevent the user from operating equipment and/or take any subsequent action, activity or process or to prevent the user from entering secured locations due to poor cognitive performance. A method for evaluating the user's cognitive performance is disclosed, by presenting to the user cognitive tests and comparing the user's actual performance to pre acquired cognitive performance baseline.

Abstract: A method is provided of providing location information to a user of a mobile user terminal for cellular wireless telecommunications having a visual display. In the method, the location of the mobile user terminal is determined using a satellite location system. Also, a call connection between the mobile user terminal and a remote server is made via a cellular wireless telecommunications network connected to the remote server. The remote server processes data of the location and data of a map so as to provide a set of data representing the location of the user on the map to the mobile user terminal. The remote server sends the set of data to the mobile user terminal. The mobile user terminal receives the data and displays the location of the user on the map.

Abstract: A wireless telecommunications network node is provided. The node includes a processor configured to handle call traffic and to record measurement data. The processor is also configured to detect processor load and to automatically adjust the rate of recordal of measurements dependent on detected processor load. The adjustments are so as to keep the processor load within predetermined limits.

Abstract: A method is provided of reporting a fault to a control unit in a network for mobile telecommunications. The base station determines that a fault has been experienced by a mobile user terminal located within the cell served by the base station. The base station also determines the location of the mobile user terminal within the cell. The base station sends a report of the fault to the control unit, the report including information of the location within the cell served by the base station.

Abstract: A radio telecommunications network is provided comprising a first station and a second station. The first station is operative to send packets of data to the second station. The packets are of a predetermined length. The second station is operative to receive the data and send to the first station indicators of which packets of data from the first station have been accurately received. The second station is also operative to measure received signal quality and to send information of received signal quality to the first station. The first station is operative to select dependent upon said information a different length for further packets to be sent to the second station.

Abstract: A method is provided of paying from an account by a customer having a mobile user terminal. The method comprises the following steps. The phone number of mobile user terminal of the customer is provided to an authenticating network. The authenticating network uses the phone number to inspect a database relating phone numbers to account indicators and associated customer identity indicators so as to obtain an account indicator and a customer identity indicator of the mobile user terminal of the customer. A call connection between the authenticating network and the mobile user terminal is set up. A customer identity indicator is sent from the mobile user terminal to the authenticating network. The authenticating network checks that the customer identity indicator received from the mobile user terminal accords with that expected from the inspection of the database. If so the authenticating network indicates that the customer is authentic so as to enable the payment to proceed.
