Title: Mobile communications network and base station for communicating short message data packets in a context-less manner without a communications bearer
Inventor: BARRETT STEPHEN
IPC: H04W4/14
Filed: 2011-07-29
Abstract: A mobile communications network communicates data packets to or from one or more mobile communications terminals. The mobile communications network comprises a radio network part including a plurality of base stations for communicating data packets to or from the mobile communications terminals via a radio access interface, and a core network part which is configured to communicate the data packets to destination addresses from the radio network part or to communicate the data packets to the radio network part from source addresses. The mobile communications network is configured to establish communications bearers for communicating the data packets to or from the mobile communications terminals via the radio network part and the core network part, each of the communications bearers being established using context information associated with one or more connections from the mobile communications terminals to the destination addresses, or to the mobile communications terminals from source addresses. One of the mobile communications terminals is configured to attach to one of the base stations of the mobile communications network, and when in an idle state, to communicate a short message data packet to the base station of the radio network part as a signalling message, the short message data packet including an indication of context information for use by the mobile communications network for communicating the short message data packet. A short message data packet can therefore be communicated (e.g. from a machine type communications (MTC) terminal) in a context-less or quasi-context-less manner without a communications bearer being established thereby reducing an amount of signalling overhead required, which can be an efficient way of communicating relatively small amounts of data.

Title: Enabling a web application to call at least one native function of a mobile device
Inventor: RUGGIERO GAETANO
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2012-07-30
Abstract: A remote computer (server 124) executes a web application 134 which can call at least one native function 114 of a mobile device 100. The browser 110 of the mobile device accesses the web application and upon selection of a GUI component in the web application by a user, submits a cross domain HTTP request to the localhost IP address of a TCP/IP socket listener module 112 executing in the mobile device. The listener module can be a local web server and may be written in a cross-platform language. The cross-domain HTTP request can involve the use of an iFrame tag embedded in the HTML code of the web application. The listener module may return the results of the function call together with a session ID 122 to a result collector module 138 which then notifies the web application of the results. The native function may gather biometric data from the user wherein the result collector module determines if the user is authorized to access a security function of the web application.

Title: Method and apparatus for generating image alignment data
Inventor: KADIR TIMOR
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2013-06-24
Abstract: A method of generating image alignment data for registration of a pair of medical images selected from a plurality of images derived from different acquisitions (e.g. taken at different times, using different modalities etc) is disclosed. The method comprises determining registration connections for the image pair (e.g. by arranging 1410 images into groups based upon known spatial similarities) and determining 1430,1455 registration weighting values (representative of a registration complexity or computational cost) for each image pair registration connection. The determined weighting values are based at least partly upon intra-image attribute data, such as image size, resolution, contrast/dynamic range, information content etc. Different image pair registration connections yield different weighting values dependent upon the intermediate registration path. The registration path with the lowest weighting value is determined 1480 as the optimal registration path with the lowest degree of registration complexity. The necessary image transformations required to register the image pair via the optimal registration path are determined 1485 to enable image pair alignment data to be generated 1490. A medical imaging system and a computer program product for generating image alignment data for medical images are also disclosed. The method enables generation of reliable image alignment data with reduced computational complexity.

Title: Data encoding and decoding
Inventor: GAMEI JAMES ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 2013-08-15
Abstract: A video data encoding method and equivalent device for encoding an array of video data values that includes the step of frequency-transforming the video data values according to a frequency transform (such as a discrete cosine transform, DCT or a discrete sine transform, DST) to generate an array of frequency-transformed values by a matrix-multiplication process using a transform matrix having a data precision greater than six bits. The independent claims set out tables of values for both a DCT and a DST that specific the transform matrix coefficients to be used for different levels of data precision (or bit depth) from 7-bit depth up to 24 bit depth. The method/device can be used to encode data in a video codec that is compliant with the new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard.

Title: A system having a cluster of communication controllers and a method for modification of the latter
Inventor: TROPPENS ULF
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2013-11-19
Abstract: A method for modifying communication controllers 110 of a clustered file storage system 200, wherein each controller provides network connections with external computer systems using protocols of both or one of the following types: a first failover tolerant type (stateless) and a second failover non-tolerant type (stateful). The controllers are split into first and second pools providing connections of the first and second types respectively. A portion of the controllers of the first pool are modified or upgraded, wherein for the special case that the portion consists of all controllers of the first pool concurrently, at least one controller of the second pool provides connections of at least the first type before the modification takes place. The next portion of the controllers are then modified and if this includes a controller providing connections of the second type, its connections are re-established using one or more already modified controllers. The invention limits the number of failovers experienced during the upgrade to just one.
