Title: Security monitoring and protection system
Inventor: MITCHELL CATHERINE
IPC: B64D45/00
Filed: 2003-07-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and apparatus for monitoring and controlling a secure environment, such as that within an aircraft, or in a building such as a bank or other secure premises. A monitoring system allows automatic control of the environment and activation of the system or apparatus at an appropriate time once a security breach has been detected. Manual operation of the system can also be effected. Activation of the system results in the deployment of at least one countermeasure device. The countermeasure device serves to incapacitate an individual target or multiple targets who are considered to pose a threat to the security of the location. The deployed countermeasures can include a projectile such as a dart, which may contain tranquilliser, or alternatively an electric charge may be deployed. Further, restraining means may serve to restrict the movement of targets within the secured area, as the deployment of restraining means such as vertical or horizontal rods serves to impede movement of targets within an aisle of a civil aircraft or corridor of a building.

Title: Vector replacement method
Inventor: SANDERS ROGER
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2006-03-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to computer-implemented method for generating one or more system calls from a command originating from a software process. The method comprises the steps of receiving the command from the software process; translating the command into a first set of system calls for execution by an operating system; intercepting said first set of system calls prior to execution by the operating system; and replacing said first set of system calls with a second set of system calls if said first set of system calls meets one or more predefined criteria. This interception and replacement may then be used to map one set of data references onto another set of data references. This mapping can provide flexible data storage, which is transparent to the software process and operating system.

Title: Managing access to content in a data processing apparatus
Inventor: CROXFORD DAREN
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2006-04-28
Abstract: A data processing apparatus and method are provided for managing access to content within the data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus has a secure domain 110 and a non-secure domain 100 and comprises at least one device which is operable when seeking to access content stored in memory to issue a memory access request pertaining to either the secure domain or the non-secure domain. Further, writeable memory 120 is provided which can store content required by the at least one device, with the writeable memory having at least one read only region 124 whose content is stored therein under control of a secure task 150, the secure task being a task executed by one of the devices in the secure domain. Protection logic 130 is then used in association with the writeable memory, which on receipt of a memory access request seeking to access content in the at least one read only region, prevents access to that read only region if that memory access request pertains to the non-secure domain and is seeking to write content to the read only region. This enables the speed, power and flexibility benefits of placing content in writeable memory to be achieved without prejudicing the security of that content, by ensuring that that content cannot be modified from the non-secure domain. The secure task may be used during a boot process to cause content to be stored in the read only region.

Title: Storing Bluetooth (RTM) contact details in a mobile device
Inventor: LOVELL THOMAS
IPC: H04M1/72412
Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: An improved method of forming connections between Bluetooth (RTM) devices is provided. A first device maintains a contacts database wherein the addresses of further Bluetooth (RTM) devices are stored in the same records as the owners of those devices. When the first device wishes to connect to the device belonging to any persons in the contacts database, it simply retrieves the address from the database and starts sending Bluetooth (RTM) packets. This eliminates the discovery and name request steps from the Bluetooth (RTM) protocol, saving time and power.
