Patent number: 10669042Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that includes a light and a cooling system is described. The light fitted to the UAV may be bright since heat it generates will be cooled by thermal conduction, convection and/or heat absorption. The light may be cooled by the airflow generated by the propellers. The cooling system of the lighted UAV may include radiator that may conduct heat to the environment and/or include an internal liquid cooling system. The cooling system may include dedicated fans to cool the lights.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: WETInventors: Dezso Molnar, John Canavan

Patent number: 10125952Abstract: A system that illuminates water in a water display in broad daylight is described. The system may include a color filter that directs a desired color or range of colors onto the water. The source of light may be the sun or an artificial light source. Where the light source is the sun, a heliostat may be included to track the sun and reflect sunlight to the color filter. Other reflecting mirrors may be included to provide a line of sight between the light source and water display being illuminated.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: WETInventors: Mark Fuller, Jim Doyle, John Canavan

Patent number: 9641694Abstract: A method for initiating a call in a communications system comprising a mobile communications device connected in a mobile communications network. The mobile communications device is allocated a mobile identifier for a first, mobile communications service provided by a mobile communications service provider and is allocated a second identifier for a second communications service provided by a second communications service provider that is different from the first, mobile communications service. The method comprises receiving over a data connection, at a switch, a request from the mobile communications device, comprising the second identifier, to initiate a call using the second communications service and adding, at the switch, the mobile identifier to the request and forwarding via a further network, the request comprising both the second identifier and the mobile identifier.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANYInventors: Mohit Punwani, Martin Gibson Kell, Colin John Canavan
