Filed: 2014-07-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the selective decryption of files. The method includes monitoring a secure file storage area with files, using a selective decryption process associated with the secure file storage area. The content of each of the files is protected with by encryption. When a request by an application program for one of the files is detected, the method determines whether the application program needs to access the content of the requested file. Then, if it is determined that the application program does not need to access the content of the requested file, the application program is allowed to access the file content without decrypting the encrypted content. The application may be a backup program that backs up the file in encrypted format, an e-mail program that sends the encrypted file.

Title: Improvements to dart flights
Inventor: HUXTABLE LEE
IPC: F42B6/00
Filed: 2014-10-18
Abstract: A flight 4 and shaft 3 assembly for a dart where the flight can be arranged upon the shaft. The flight is made of moulded plastic and comprises fins 8 positioned on a central tube 9, which fits over the shaft of the dart. The shaft comprises an undercut 13, formed by a shoulder 11 at one end, for screwing into the barrel of a dart, and a stepped tip 13 at the other. The tip is tapered, with a part having a diameter 14 greater than the flights hole. The tapered nature of the tip allows the shaft to be inserted into the flight hole. When fully inserted, the tip protrudes from the other end of the flight and snap fits into place to keep the flight on the undercut of the shaft. When secured the flight is able to rotate about its axis. When hit by an incoming dart the tapered tip minimises the deflection of that dart from its intended target.

Inventor: CHANDORKAR SANTOSH
IPC: H04W48/18
Filed: 2014-04-01
Abstract: An alarm device is arranged to transmit an alarm signal indicative of an alarm condition being met. The alarm device accesses a record of a list of cellular networks available for communication with the device. The record includes information identifying each of the networks, and a measure of the reliability of communication over each network. The alarm device selects a network with which to establish a communication link based on the measure of the reliability of communication over the network, and attempts to establish a communications link with the selected network. The device is also arranged to make no more than a predetermined repeat attempts to connect with the selected network if previous attempts to connect fail. Subsequently, another network is selected to connect to based on the measure of reliability of communication over the network, and the device attempts to establish a communication link with that other network. The measure of reliability of communication over each network may be based on signal strength, such as the cell signal quality; signal to noise ratio; number of cells within effective range of the device; and bit error rate.

Title: Cache coherency
Inventor: SEAN JAMES SALISBURY
IPC: G06F12/0817
Filed: 2015-06-01
Abstract: A cache coherency controller has a snoop filter. When given an address in memory, the filter returns a snoop vector indicating which caches store data from the given address. The vector for addresses stored in the caches are recorded a directory. The controller also records which caches are currently subject to coherency control in a snoop mask. When the controller looks up an address in the directory, it masks out references to caches, which are not participating in coherency control. It may replace an entry in the directory, which refers to such a cache, with one that only refers to caches participating in the coherency control. The directory may be set associative, with a multiple entries mapping to a group of addresses. When a new entry needs to be added to the directory, any entry only referring to a cache not participating in the coherency control may be considered empty and replaced.
