Title: A word game
Inventor: BISHOP JOHN WARD
IPC: A63F3/04
Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: A board game for two players in which a player is given a starting letter from a pack of cards, and a suffix from second pack. The player then provides a word beginning with the starting letter and ending with the suffix. The playing piece is then moved along the track on the board according to the number of letters in the word. Spaces on the board direct the player to throw a dice containing letters for which few words exist, and combinations of letters and suffixes which have no corresponding words are given in a word book or list. Words may be challenged by the other player. The game continues until one player reaches the finishing square.

Title: Flow meter
Inventor: CRUDGE PAUL
IPC: G01F1/7086
Filed: 2004-06-24
Abstract: A volume flow meter for measuring volume flow of a multiphase fluid, particularly milk in a milking installation, is disclosed. The flow meter comprises a sensor chamber 20 and a feed duct 10 for conveying fluid to the sensor chamber. The feed duct is shaped such that the fluid leaving the feed duct has a character that is more nearly in a pure liquid phase than the fluid entering the feed duct. For example, this may be achieved by forming the feed duct into the shape of an inverted 'U' 14. An assessment of total volume flow is made by combining measurements of presence or absence of liquid in multiple regions of the cross-section of the sensor chamber. Optionally, there may be a second sensor chamber disposed upstream of the feed duct, used to provide information to control the sensors in the first chamber. A method for calibrating the flow meter is also disclosed.

Title: Streamlined network logon using Host Identity Protocol (HIP) with broadcast puzzle challenges and home server certificates
Inventor: JOKELA PETRI
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2005-03-07
Abstract: HIP associates with a node a public key which does not change with location on the network, unlike IP addresses. It is primarily intended for node to node authentication but made be used to authenticate a node to a visited network. Basic authentication has four steps (see Fig. 2) initiate, random number challenge, response and authentication from the initiator and responder alternately. Applied to network logon this corresponds to Fig. 3 steps 1-4 and is followed by the visited authentication server (AAA) verifying the mobile node (MN) with the MN's Home AAA, steps 5-8. The invention proposes including the (HIP) random number challenge in the access point's (AP) broadcast network advertisements (1) and sending Home AAA verification information in a signed certificate (4.5) without awaiting the final authentication message in the HIP cycle (5). These changes establish secure authentication with less network traffic and downtime experienced when migrating to a new network.

Title: Alternative tuning device for stringed musical instruments
Inventor: BRYCE ALASDAIR JAMES
IPC: G10D3/14
Filed: 2005-12-10
Abstract: An auxiliary tuning device for a stringed musical instrument attaches to the non-vibrating part of a specific string, or strings, in the area between the tuning peg and the nut or between the bridge and the tailpiece to repeatedly apply predetermined pitch changes to the string, thereby facilitating alternative tunings without retuning. The device can be fitted to a string 40 by temporarily loosening the string and locating the string over flange (28, fig 4). Thumbwheel 17 is rotated to cause piston 19 to rise such that flange (28, fig 4) displaces the string between guide forms (34, fig 5), thereby elongating and increasing tension in the string. Fine control over the extent of travel of piston 19 can be achieved by rotation of grub screw 18.

Title: Pre-emptible context switching in a computing device.
Inventor: MAY DENNIS
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2006-08-21
Abstract: Context switching between threads belonging to different user-side processes is a time consuming procedure because of the need to move a potentially large number of memory mappings around and to the need to flush the data cache on hardware architectures which utilise a virtually tagged data cache. The invention allows a method of switching contexts between threads in different user processes on a computing device in which: those portions of the context switch which involve either modification of page directory entries or flushing of a data cache are performed with pre-emption enabled and in which for those portions, the context switch can be pre-empted by a kernel thread. As a result it is possible to run a third process during a context switch where the third process doesn't own or require any user memory modification of the page tables. By means of this invention, switches to kernel threads and threads in fixed user processes can occur much faster; these threads don't belong to processes that own any user memory and are the very ones that need to run with a lower guaranteed latency to ensure real-time performance.
