Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method of replacing an original operating system with a new operating system. In one example embodiment, a method to selectively replace a first in-vehicle operating system includes receiving a temporary update including a second in-vehicle operating system for storage in a memory location of the first in-vehicle operating system and receiving a request to update the first in-vehicle operating system based on the temporary update. The method may further include triggering a reboot of the first in-vehicle operating system including installing the second in-vehicle operating system.

Abstract: A method allowing a customer having registered payment account details with a service or product provider to place a purchase order and pay for a product or a service using a networked device such as a mobile phone. The customer may send, for example in a short messaging service (SMS) message, a product or service identifier identifying the product or the service to a designated telephone number to initiate a purchase. The identifier may for instance be an alphanumeric codeword included in an advertisement or a catalogue promoting the product or the service. In one embodiment, the purchase order system is a computer programme or software implemented as an application programming interface (API), which may be able to interface with a website of the product or service provider as well as communicating with a plurality of payment gateways.

Abstract: Imaging apparatus comprises a radiation source arranged to generate a divergent imaging beam and an associated radiation detector mounted on a C-arm which can rotate. A first drive is arranged to move the radiation source and the detector relative to a subject in a scanning direction to generate output signals from the detector, thereby performing a scan generating image data containing distortion in a direction transverse to the scanning direction. A second drive is arranged to rotate the C-arm, to change the orientation of the radiation source in a direction transverse to the scanning direction incrementally between repeated scans, thereby to generate a plurality of sets of image data.
