Abstract: Data is received identifying first user 102A who controls access sharing to data items, typically documents, stored on third party data store 106. Access rights to the data store are established using access rights of the first user and said rights are stored in first user data structure (1104, fig. 11), e.g. an access token. In a preferred embodiment data is received from the first user identifying second user 102B and, in response to selection of a data item by the first user, information is received representing a location of the item in the data store. In this embodiment, a key unique to the second user and representing said storage location is generated and stored, in concordance with the information, in a workflow data structure of the first user (1102, fig. 11); the unique key being provided to the second user to access the item.

Title: Conduction-cooled superconducting rotating machine
Inventor: SHIN HYUN JANG
IPC: H02K55/04
Filed: 2014-08-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a conduction-cooled superconducting rotating machine, comprising: a cryocooler; a rotary shaft having a circumferential hole for accommodating the cryocooler such that the cryocooler is spaced apart from the rotary shaft, the rotary shaft transmitting rotating power; and a vacuum chamber, both ends of which have circumferential holes, the circumferential holes having inner surfaces coupled to the outer surface of the rotary shaft such that the vacuum chamber and the rotary shaft can rotate together. The vacuum chamber includes: a first heat-transfer element and a second heat-transfer element which are connected to the cryocooler; and a heat-transfer unit for conducting heat to the cryocooler through the first and second heat-transfer elements. The vacuum chamber is sequentially cooled in a connection portion for interconnecting the first and second heat-transfer elements and the cryocooler. Accordingly, the rotating machine of the present invention has the cryocooler arranged therein in order to simplify an external refrigerant flow line, thus reducing heat loss by simplifying the refrigerant flow line and shortening the distance between the cryocooler and a superconductive wire material, thereby enabling conduction cooling.

Title: Data compression
Inventor: FENNEY SIMON
IPC: H04N19/85
Filed: 2014-09-19
Abstract: In a method of performing spatial decorrelation (prediction) on a two dimensional array data block 602 for compression, a spatial decorrelation module comprises plural parallel processing pipelines with first 606 and second 608 stages, implementing respective first and second spatial decorrelations in first and second dimensions. The method comprises, in iterations: outputting, to corresponding second stages, a first (line) coefficient; selectively storing first coefficients in respective second stage storage units; and implementing second dimension decorrelation on first coefficients at the second stages for a second line, to output a second coefficient for a respective one of the data values of the second line. Selectively storing comprises storing first coefficients if these will be used for the second decorrelation for another line (subsequent iteration). Lines are received in a particular order: if first coefficients for a particular line will be used for the second decorrelation for another line, data values of the line are received at first stages in an earlier iteration to that of the other line. If results of spatially decorrelating a first row will be used for column-wise decorrelation of a second row, first row values are processed in an earlier iteration. Inverse spatial recorrelation may also be performed.

Abstract: Methods and systems to provide security for sending /receiving data over unsecured networks. A security broker 260 is provided between a first network 210 and a second network 220 each network implementing a different security level. A user in the first network may be given control over the level of security to be applied to data being supplied to an application 240 in the second network. The security broker is arranged to supply data encrypted using a security scheme to the application in the second network and to supply decrypted data to a computing device in the first network. The security broker may further receive data record definitions or configuration data from the application which define how data is stored by the application (i.e. field lengths, names, types, record/table names and encryption/hashing levels etc.). The security broker may take a user identity of the computing device to determine the security scheme to apply to the data. In one embodiment the application is unable to decrypt data it receives from the broker (purely acting as a network storage facility). Only sensitive data may be passed to the application via the security broker. Non-sensitive data may be passed directly to the application.
