Patent number: 9942344Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to configuring a call control context in a media gateway. The media gateway has a set of digital signal processors, each having one or more digital signal processor cores. The cores implement digital signal processor channels that are grouped into digital signal processor contexts. When a request to configure a call control context is received, certain examples described herein are configured to assign a set of digital signal processor contexts to process data streams associated with the call control context. In particular, certain examples described herein couple a first digital signal processor context to at least a second digital signal processor context using at least one digital signal processor channel in each of the first and second digital signal processor contexts.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: METASWITCH NETWORKS LTD.Inventors: Christian Lund, Mark Overton, Murray Rogers, John Batty

Patent number: 9802739Abstract: A container for holding liquid is described. The container defines an inner region inside which liquid is adapted to be held and includes one or more walls for facilitating heating or cooling of the liquid therethrough, the one or more walls being adapted for invagination by a temperature control probe such that the temperature control probe extends into the container without directly contacting contents of the inner region of the container.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2011Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Kismet Design Pty LtdInventors: Charmayne Oldani, David John Bull, Andrew Richard Wyatt, Michael John Batty, Peter Charles Spencer, Sandy McNeil

Patent number: 9602569Abstract: Telecommunications equipment may require network connectivity. On newer systems, an additional local management interface is provided for proprietary maintenance functions, typically via a shell-based Command Line Interface. This is not available on remote sites with only TDM connections. The invention provides a method of communicating between a management console and remote access equipment via a class 4 telecommunications switch, which comprises establishing an IP connection, establishing a synchronous telecommunications transport connection between the class 5 switch and the remote access equipment, setting up a voice call between the management console and the remote access equipment, passing the voice call over the IP connection as a VOIP call, passing the voice call over the synchronous telecommunications transport connection as a PCM encoded call, and encapsulating an IP data stream in the VOIP and PCM encoded call to establish an end-to-end IP.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Metaswitch Networks LimitedInventors: Craig Miller, John Batty, John Tucker, Mark Overton, Shriman Gurung, Doug Theobald, David Smith

Publication number: 20140226653Abstract: Existing telecommunications equipment may require network connectivity for data transfer but may have no external interfaces except for the TDM voice circuits to which they are connected. Thus on most newer systems, an additional local management interface is provided for proprietary maintenance functions. This is typically accessed via a shell-based Command Line Interface. This cannot be used on a remote site with only TDM connections.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2013Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: METASWITCH NETWORKS LIMITEDInventors: CRAIG MILLER, JOHN BATTY, JOHN TUCKER, MARK OVERTON, SHRIMAN GURUNG, DOUG THEOBALD, DAVID SMITH

Publication number: 20120256540Abstract: A portable lighting apparatus comprising a re-chargable battery and a plurality of LED's (light emitting diode) located on a PCB are housed in separate enclosures. The battery is managed by a first microprocessor in the battery enclosure and operation of the LED(s) is managed by a second microprocessor in the lamp enclosure. The two microprocessors are connected to respective data transmitters which generate signals to pass information and/or commands between the two microprocessors. The electrical systems of the two enclosures are interconnected by a bi-direction data link formed by a twin core cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2010Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: RITELITE (SYSTEMS) LIMITEDInventors: Marcus John Batty, Philip Hutchings

Publication number: 20120206915Abstract: A lighting module, particularly for a portable lamp, includes an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs), and a transparent cover arranged in front of the LEDs, the cover has a plurality of lenses on the inner surface thereof providing a respective lens in the light emission field of each LED, and a diffuser screen is positioned between the LEDs and the cover and can be moved linearly across LEDs so as to diffuse the light emission from at least some of the array or all of the array as is desired. The diffuser screen comprises a flexible polymeric material which is stored around a roller located to one side of the cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2010Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: RITELITE (SYSTEMS) LIMITEDInventor: Marcus John Batty

Publication number: 20060168356Abstract: A method and system for compressing bitmap data in a system for sharing an application running on a host computer with a remote computer, wherein the shared application's screen output is simultaneously displayed on both computers. Simultaneous display of screen output is achieved by efficiently transmitting display data between the host computer and the remote computer. When a font used by the host computer for displaying text is not available on the remote computer, the host computer sends a bitmap representation of the text for display, rather than the text itself. Bitmap representations are cached by the remote computer, so that the same bitmap representation need not be repeatedly transmitted from the host computer to the remote computer. Bitmap representations are compressed by the host computer prior to transmission, transmitted, then decompressed by the computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2004Publication date: July 27, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher Mairs, Anthony Downes, Roderick MacFarquhar, Kenneth Hughes, Alex Pollitt, John Batty, Mark Berry
