IPC: G06F11/08
Filed: 2010-08-24
Abstract: A method and system for retrieving a web site formed from portions of web site data stored at a plurality of separate storage locations 50 retrieves the website data from a subset of the portions of web site data. A request for web site data is received and information specifying the separate storage locations 50 storing each portion of the web site data in the subset of portions is received in response to the request. A central server 30 preferably monitors and tests the availability and connectivity of the separate storage locations 50 and records this information in a database 40, the storage locations 50 being identified by their IP addresses or other suitable identifier. A software application running on a web server 20 preferably divides any data to be stored into separate datasets which are then forwarded to the separate storage locations 50.

Patent GB-2483587-A (GB)
Title: Network traffic accelerator
Inventor: LEE JACK YIU-BUN
IPC: H04L47/30
Filed: 2010-06-29
Abstract: In a packet communication system with large bandwidth delay product (BDP) and employing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the reported advertised window size as advertised by a receiver is employed only as an indication of window size and not as a throughput limit so that more data is sent than the amount specified by the advertised window size. Since the receiver can process all incoming TCP packets, the receiving buffer is consistently near empty. Since the TCP's advertised window size is not accepted as the absolute amount of buffer space available at the receiver, the sender is not constrained by the absolute value of the receiver's advertised window size and instead can transmit more data than the absolute value of the advertised window, enabling the system to increase the actual window size without modifying the link ends. This improved large-BDP-capable protocol is denoted TCP-SC.

Title: Vehicle with method to regulate engine stop delay
Inventor: ROBINSON GUY
IPC: B60W20/00
Filed: 2013-01-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle controller operable automatically to stop and subsequently to restart an engine (121 see fig 1) of a vehicle according to a prescribed control methodology. The controller is operable automatically to adjust an engine stop delay parameter in dependence on the value of at least one vehicle endurance parameter N. The engine stop delay parameter corresponds to a period for which the engine (121) remains switched on when it is determined that a condition exists allowing the engine (121) to be switched off during the course of a drive cycle. The value of the endurance parameter N is responsive to stop/start operations being performed during the course of a drive cycle. The invention is applicable to a vehicle having an engine (121) and various controllers (121C, 170, 124C, 185C see fig 1) including an engine controller (121C) and is also applicable to a hybrid vehicle having a crankshaft integrated motor generator (223 see fig 3). The adjustment of the engine stop delay parameter is to prevent the value of the endurance parameter N exceeding a prescribed maximum endurance value before a prescribed time period elapses.

Title: Processing a guest event in a hypervisor-controlled system
Inventor: BACHER UTZ
IPC: G06F21/71
Filed: 2013-06-27
Abstract: A guest event triggers a first service, specific for the guest event, in firmware (70, fig. 3). The guest event is associated with a guest 20, with guest state (52, fig. 3) and guest memory (22, fig. 3) encrypted with guest key 24. The firmware processes guest state and guest memory information and presents only a subset of the information in decrypted form to hypervisor 30, wherein the subset of information is selected to suffice for the hypervisor to process the guest event. The firmware retains a part of the information of the guest state and memory that is not sent to the hypervisor. The hypervisor processes the guest event, based on the received subset of information, and sends a process result to the firmware which triggers a second firmware service specific for the guest event. The firmware processes the received result, together with the part of the guest information not sent to the hypervisor, to generate a state and/or memory modification. The firmware performs the state and/or memory modification associated with the guest event at the guest memory in encrypted form.
