Patent GB-2465041-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus and method for generating femtosecond electron beams
Inventor: PARK YONG WOON
IPC: H01J37/06
Filed: 2009-06-29
Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating a femtosecond electron beam are disclosed. The apparatus discharges electrons 10 generated via a cathode 100 to an anode 300. The cathode 100 includes a transmission windouT 150 to allow an incident laser L to pass through and a pinhole 350 is formed in the anode 300 corresponding to the position of the electrons 10 generated from the transmission window 150. This pinhole 350 allows passage of the electrons there through. A focusing unit 200 is provided at one side of the cathode 100 between the cathode 100 and the anode 300 and generates an electric field to accelerate and at the same time concentrate the electrons 10 to the pinhole 350. This allows for the shortening of the device and the generation of femtosecond electron beams.
Patent GB-2463758-A (GB)
Title: Client authentication in a Session Initiation Protocol
Inventor: BOYLE FRANK J
IPC: G06F21/31
Filed: 2009-08-04
Abstract: A proxy server 114 causes an authentication authority 116 to authenticate a client 102 in response to a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) request 406 of the client on a connection. It then refrains from causing the client to be authenticated in response to subsequent requests on the connection as long as the underlying connection is not broken, the subsequent requests are on behalf of the same client, the client has not been removed from the system, the client's password has not changed, a "safety net" timer has not expired, or any other policy that the server selects. This eliminates the overhead of constant re-authentication at a high level protocol (eg. SIP) in response to each SIP request, and the need for unique host credentials or certificates for each client.

Title: Compressed external memory with compression status in external memory and in cache
Inventor: GLASCO DAVID B
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2009-11-25
Abstract: A data cache is connected to processors and to an external memory. Information about the compression state of data in the memory is stored in the memory and in a compression status cache. When a processor requests data, the data cache gets the compression information from the compression status cache if possible. Otherwise, it gets it from the memory. The compression information may be a single bit indicating whether the data is compressed. Multiple processors may be attached to the data cache via a crossbar switch. The compression information may be stored in the tag line in a page table entry of a memory management unit. The data cache may decompress the data if it detects that it is compressed and the processor receiving the data is not configured to receive compressed data. The processors may be graphics processors.

Title: Improvements in multiplicative modulator
Inventor: LEY ANTHONY JOHN
IPC: G06G7/163
Filed: 1965-03-11
Abstract: 1,129,521. Multipliers. SOLARTRON ELECTRONIC GROUP Ltd. 16 Feb., 1966 [11 March, 1965], No. 10420/66. Heading G4G. [Also in Division H3] In a multiplicative modulator four identical transistors 11 to 14 mounted in identical thermal environments are connected in two long-tail pair circuits with equal collector load resistors 15, 47, 48, 17 of which 15, 17 are connected to a positive supply directly and 47, 48 through a common resistor 16; the junction being connected to an output circuit through a feedback operational amplifier (not shown) and D.C. blocking capacitor. The emitters of 11, 12 and 13, 14 are respectively interconnected and returned to negative supply through variable resistor 29 and fixed resistor 30, while input signals 45, 46 are applied to the interconnected emitters in sign reversal over variable resistor 27 and fixed resistor 28 respectively. Other carrier signals are applied in phase opposition to the bases of transistors 11, 12 over terminals 49, 50 and with sign reversal to the bases of 13, 14 over terminals 51, 52; while potentiometer circuits 41, 42 are adjustable to equalize the collector voltages of 11, 12 and of 13, 14. Resistor 27 is adjustable for zero output for zero carrier signal, and resistor 29 for zero input for zero data signal. It is shown by mathematics that the output terminal 18 represents the product of the input and carrier signals with negligible third and higher harmonic error. Temperature variations in the transistors are corrected by including negative coefficient resistors in the carrier signal supply, or a positive coefficient resistor in the feedback path of the operational amplifier.

Title: Improvements in thread guide mechanism for textile machines
IPC: B65H59/10
Filed: 1932-04-12
Abstract: 381,106. Thread guiding and tensioning regulators. JABOULAY, H., 10, Rue de l'Arbre-Sec, Lyons, France. April 12, 1932, No. 10488. Convention date, June 20, 1931. Addition to 365,980. [Class 120 (ii).] The thread tensioning arrangement of the parent Specification is modified by the provision of electric contacts, which are actuated by one of the movable thread guides whilst still permitting movement of the latter, in combination with a further tension arrangement for the thread the action of which is annulled when the electric contacts are closed to stop the machine upon the occurrence of excessive thread tension. As in the parent Specification, the thread passes from the bobbin L, round the stationary pulley-shaped thread guide A to the movable guide C, pivoted at O, back round the stationary guide A to the second movable guide E pivoted at P. The two movable guides C, E are operatively connected by gears B, D. When excessive thread tension occurs, the arm E and gear D rotate, and a pin 13 mounted on the latter depresses a rod 14 pivoted at 15 and so lowers the vertical rod 17, whereby the electric contacts 18 are closed for operation of a stop-motion. Lowering of the rod 17 also opens the grids 22, 23, Fig. 3, between which the thread passes, thereby relieving the thread of all tension. Adjusting screws and lock-nuts 28, 29 enable the tension in the spring G and the pressure exerted on the thread by the grids 22, 23 to be adjusted.
