IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2011-12-07
Abstract: Methods, a system and a computer program are provided for the execution of adaptable composed computer-implemented services having at least one integrated policy. A method comprises executing a service portion of said composed computer-implemented service 600, and executing a policy portion of the composed computer-implemented service at substantially the same time as said step of executing said service portion of said composed computer-implemented service 602. The policy portion of the composed computer-implemented service affects a behavior of the composed computer-implemented service. The policy portion of the composed computer-implemented service and the service portion of the composed computer-implemented service are integrated into a same service code 604. The service may comprise a flower delivery service where the service portion comprises a deliver real flower function and the policy portion comprises an age verification function. A method of integrating policies and services in a service refinement cycle comprises mapping a specified service to a process, the process including a policy operation affecting behavior of the service. A process outcome of policy operation is then mapped to an external service.

Title: Synchronising throttled memory controllers in partitioned memory subsystem
Inventor: DODSON JOHN STEVEN
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2012-11-23
Abstract: A method for synchronising memory controllers, each controlling a partition of a partitioned memory subsystem, comprises forwarding 606 a synchronisation command to a pre-determined master memory controller, the command including information identifying (selecting) a group of controllers to be synchronised. The master controller then forwards 608 the command to each memory controller, including the master memory controller itself. Each controller then de-asserts 612 a status bit to confirm that they have receiving the command, and then each of the selected memory controllers forward 616 the command to associated power logic which powers the memory controller. The power logic then resets its timers so that the associated controllers are synchronised. This method is for throttled systems where a memory controller can only perform a certain number of commands in a predetermined time window, so that the windows of memory controllers completing the same task (where the memory channels are interleaved, for example) can be aligned with each other. Timers can be set to ensure the process is repeated if synchronisation in the same clock cycle fails.

Inventor: GARIMELLA NEETA
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2013-02-20
Abstract: Hybrid backup and restore of a system involving a metadata image backup and restoration of a hierarchical storage management (HSM) system to create a point-in-time image. Identifying means concurrently identify resident files not-yet stored off-line; selecting files within resident files to form an optimized set using predetermined criteria, which is passed to a backup system. The metadata may comprise a directory tree and an inode, where the inode files comprise a plurality of inode entries each entry comprising a data pointer referencing on-line or off-line storage. The identifying means may identify nodes with data-pointers referencing on-line storage; and the selection may involve identifying inode entries having an immutable bit set in the attributes. The invention proposes to solve the problem of very large file system restoration requiring a significant amount of administrator time and/or a delay in resumption of business.

The mixer may be used as a sampler to ensure a representative portion is taken. In use, non homogeneous material 30 is loaded into the tube and the tube rotated in a first direction, such that a blade set will force the material to and hold it at the centre of the tube to homogenize the sample. Rotation is reversed causing the material to travel in opposite directions along the blade sets so that the material is equally split with a portion rejected. Repeated operation allows even reduction the original load material.

Title: Filter apparatus with improved extraction
Inventor: TAFT RANDALL
IPC: B04B5/00
Filed: 2014-06-02
Abstract: An apparatus for removing droplets of a liquid from a flow of air through the apparatus, comprises a centrifugal separator 100 having an outer wall in which is provided an off-take 104 through which a portion of the air flowing through the separator flows into a first conduit 106. The apparatus also includes a filter unit 2 having a drain 40 into a second conduit 52 for liquid separated from the air flow by the filter unit. The second conduit has a smaller cross-section than the first conduit. Preferably the filter unit is mounted to the centrifugal separator such that air containing oil mist flows upwards through the centrifugal separator 100 and then enters the filter unit 2 through an opening in a base 12. The first conduit may comprise an internal wall profile shaped as a venturi to provide for a reduced pressure. Advantageously the portion of air taken from the centrifugal separator is used to create a suction effect to enhance extraction of liquid from the filter unit. This provides an efficient and self-contained apparatus for enhanced liquid extraction from an air flow carrying liquid droplets such as oil.
