Abstract: A computing device (1) comprises a touchpad 11 disposed adjacent to a keyboard 10. In order to reduce misoperation that occurs when a user unintentionally touches the touchpad, an area of a valid operating region 13 of the touchpad is changed based on a determination if a user is operating at least one of the keyboard or the touchpad. In another embodiment, where operation on the keyboard is being performed, a part of a valid operating region of the touch pad is changed to an invalid operating region 12. The keyboard and touchpad may be displayed on a touch panel display, and the area of the touchpad displayed may be changed in accordance with a change in the area of the valid operating region. The keyboard may be an on-screen keyboard (OSK). The area of the valid operating region may be changed to a first region 13L when operation on the touchpad is determined, or a second region (13S) narrower than the first region when operation on the keyboard is determined.

Title: Commissioning a virtualised network function
Inventor: ANDREW LEE
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2019-04-23
Abstract: A remote access connection facility (RACF) 115 is configured at a commissioning virtual machine (CVM) 110 to allow access to the CVM via the RACF from outside a customer network. The CVM is located within the customer network. Configuration of a virtual network function manager (VNFM) 116 is caused via the RACF and the VNFM is then caused to instruct a Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) 140 to instantiate one or more VNFs 150-154. This is similar to the instantiation operation carried out be network function virtualisation orchestrators (NFVO). The RACF may be one end of a virtual private network (VPN). The invention allows external engineers rather than customers/operators configure/commission VNFs, which supposedly makes commissioning less likely to be incorrect.

Title: Measuring loop resistance
Inventor: STANISLAW ZUREK
IPC: G01R27/18
Filed: 2020-02-05
Abstract: The loop impedance of a live to earth loop in a mains powered electrical circuit having a residual current device (RCD) is measured by applying a unipolar current of a magnitude below the RCD trip current between live and earth and measuring the resulting voltage drop. The measurement circuit is configured with a low pass filtering characteristic to attenuate signals at mains frequency. The unipolar current may be one half of a sine wave or square wave. An inverse unipolar current in the opposite direction may be further applied. An analogue to digital converter in the measuring circuit samples the voltage produced by the unipolar current and may provide at least some of the mains frequency attenuation. The reactance of the live-earth loop may further be calculated using a circuit with a high pass filtering characteristic (figure 13).
