Patent number: 9521203Abstract: Measures for use in processing communication sessions in a telecommunications network are provided. Each communication session has a signaling path spanning a plurality of devices including one or more intermediate network devices and at least two endpoint devices, the signaling path comprising a plurality of signaling segments, each segment being between two devices in the plurality of devices. A first signaling message, comprising a first identifier associated with the communication session, is received via a first signaling segment for a communication session. At least part of the first identifier is transformed using a deterministic encryption algorithm to generate a second identifier. A second signaling message, comprising the second identifier, is transmitted via a second signaling segment for the communication session to associate the second identifier with the communication session.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2015Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Metaswitch Networks Ltd.Inventors: Oliver James Carter, Christopher Richard Gibbs, Oliver Fairless Nicolson, Phillip James Springett

Publication number: 20070120337Abstract: A lawn and garden implement caddy is disclosed for storing and transporting various implements, including long handled tools, hand tools and containers, useful in lawn and garden care. The caddy has a wheeled base with a front area defining a container platform and a rear area that supports the head portion of the long handled tools. A center support interconnects the base with the top support to support the top frame. A pair of shaped members define a container enclosure. A handle support member extends rearwardly from a top frame member to define a caddy handle. One or more handle support brackets are provided on the handle support member and/or top frame member to receive and support the handles of one or more of the long handled tools. Preferably a closing mechanism, comprising a support arm and hinge, selectively secures the handles in the handle support members.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2007Publication date: May 31, 2007Inventor: Richard Gibbs

Patent number: 6975943Abstract: A simplified strategy for sequencing large genomes has been developed. Clone-Array Pooled Shotgun Sequencing (CAPSS) is based upon pooling rows and columns of arrayed genomic clones, for shotgun library construction. Random sequences are accumulated and the data are assembled by sequential comparison of rows and columns, to resolve the sequence of clones at points of intersection. Compared to either a clone-by-clone approach or whole genome shotgun sequencing, CAPSS requires relatively few library constructions and only minimal computational power for a complete genome assembly. The strategy is suitable for sequencing large genomes for which there are no sequence-ready maps, but for which relatively high resolution STS maps and highly redundant BAC libraries are available. It is immediately applicable to the sequencing of mouse, rat, zebra fish and other important genomes, and can be managed in a cooperative fashion to take advantage of the distributed international DNA sequencing capacity.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2001Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: Seqwright, Inc.Inventors: Richard Gibbs, Allan Bradley, Wei-Wen Cai

Publication number: 20050217066Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner (A) includes an upright housing section (B) and a nozzle section (C). A cyclonic airflow dirt and dust separating chamber (54) is defined in said upright housing section. A suction source (E) pulls air and entrained dirt, dust, and other contaminants through a main suction opening (26) formed in the underside (24) of the nozzle and into the cyclonic airflow chamber (54). The cyclonic airflow chamber causes the suction airstream to travel in a cyclonic path such that the entrained contaminants are separated therefrom and deposited into a dirt container (52) that defines the chamber (54). A main filter element (K) filters residual contaminants from the suction airstream between the chamber and the suction source. The main filter element is preferably made from high-density polyethylene porous filter media.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2005Publication date: October 6, 2005Inventors: Kenneth Bair, Richard Gibbs, Mark Reindle, Michael Wright
