Title: Apparatus and method for performing address translation
Inventor: Michal Karol Bogusz
IPC: G06F12/1036
Filed: 2016-06-29
Abstract: This application is for a method of address translation that involves translating segments of sequential virtual addresses to their corresponding physical address. This has the advantage that virtual addresses do not need to be stored in an address translation storage, only physical address information. There is an apparatus that has address translation circuitry 202, an address translation storage 204, which may be a translation lookaside buffer and stores physical address information 214, and address translation prefetch circuitry 206. When the apparatus 200 issues a memory access request the data processing circuitry 212 issues identification information 210 which is split up into a segment identifier 220 that can identify the segment of addresses that are to be translated and a portion of a virtual address 222 that correspond to the sequentially arranged virtual addresses. The address translation prefetch circuitry retrieves physical addresses that are stored in a table 218 from a memory 216 that correspond to a predicted segment identifier. The segment ID is sent to the address translation prefetch circuitry and the identification information is sent to the address translation circuitry which then translates the virtual addresses into their corresponding physical addresses.

Title: Motion vector prediction using prior frame residual
Inventor: JAMES BANKOSKI
IPC: H04N19/61
Filed: 2016-12-19
Abstract: A mask is generated from a residual that is a difference between pixel values of at least two frames other than a current frame in a video sequence. The mask is then used to encode or decode a current block by inter-prediction. Preferably the residual is formed from two frames which are located before the current frame in the video sequence. Preferably these two frames are spaced apart by a plurality of other frames and a defined amount of time. Preferably the mask comprises first and second contiguous portions which are non-overlapping and have a border between them which extends between two edges of the mask. Preferably, when encoding or decoding, a first motion search is performed within a reference frame for pixel values within the first contiguous portion of pixel locations of the current block using the mask. A second motion search is also performed within a reference frame for pixel values within the second contiguous portion of pixel locations of the current block using the mask. A prediction block is then generated by combining the results of the first and second motion search.

Title: Methods and systems for virtual file storage and encryption
Inventor: SAHEEQ SAYED
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-02-11
Abstract: Access permission levels for a document file saved on a hosts cloud storage system, typically comprising an intelligent cloud server. Individuals, who have been granted access are assigned permission levels. Sensitive information is identified in the document file, possibly using pattern recognition or pre-programmed key-term identification, and matched with the permission level(s). Comparison of the file identified as sensitive with other documents which have the same keywords and/or context allows further sensitive files to be identified. The identified sensitive information is encrypted and an access key provided that enables access based on authentication of the user, network and/or need. Typically, a second type of sensitive information is also identified and matched with one of the permission levels. If identified and matched, the second type of sensitive information is encrypted and a second access key provided that enables access to individuals assigned with the corresponding permission level. The intelligent cloud server can save and store documents without the need of first saving them in a local drive for upload. Upon storage, the document can be scanned and classified in a security level according to pre-determined settings and parameters.
