Title: Treatment of water pollution utilising plants with aerenchyma tissues
Inventor: FREEMAN CHRIS
IPC: A01G9/02
Filed: 2010-02-03
Abstract: A floatable device comprises a structure made of a battery of linked nets, floats, a mass of decomposable material which releases phenolic compounds during decomposition in water and nutrient sequestering plants, at least some of the plants having a high content of aerenchyma tissues. Preferably, the decomposable material is selected from the group consisting of barley straw, coir, heather, wood industry waste and lavender. The phenolic compounds produced by the decomposable material mix with oxygen in the water and, catalysed by phenol oxidase or direct sunlight, generate free radicals as an algaecide. A method for removing polluting nutrients from water comprises the steps of placing the floatable device at the surface of a body of water, leaving the floatable device in place for a period of time, removing the floatable device from the water, desorbing the trapped nutrients, such that the nutrients are used as a fertiliser, and recharging the structure with fresh decomposable material and aquatic plants. The enzymic latch mechanism is used to trap polluting nutrients in ponds, lakes, reservoirs and flowing waters.

Title: Efficient use of bandwidth in machine type communications
Inventor: ZAKRZEWSKI ROBERT
IPC: H04W4/60
Filed: 2010-10-25
Abstract: A communications system comprises a mobile radio network which includes a plurality of base stations which are arranged to communicate data to and from mobile communications devices via a wireless access interface. The system also includes a plurality of associated communications devices each of the associated communications devices being capable of transmitting and receiving data from one or more of the base stations. Each of the associated communications devices of the group includes the same common identifier with respect to which communication sessions can be established to communicate data via the mobile radio network from any of the associated communications devices. The group of communications devices may be for communicating machine type communications (MTC) for a particular application such as for example, being disposed in a vehicle such as a car in order to report certain parameters. Each of these parameters may be served by a separate communications device which reports periodically on the parameters which are detected by an associated sensor. As such because of the spatial proximity of each of the communications devices, each is able to receive control plane signalling data and accordingly the communication of the signalling data is as if broadcast to a local environment in which the group of communications devices are disposed. Accordingly, there is a saving in communications bandwidth which is proportional to the number of the devices in the group.

Title: Dynamic resource allocation in recover to cloud sandbox test virtual data centres
Inventor: REDDY CHANDRA
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2012-10-26
Abstract: A recover to cloud (R2C) service that replicates a customer production environment to virtual data centres (VDCs) operated in a cloud service provider environment. The replication service permits customers to provision both a disaster recovery VDC 200 and a test VDC 400. At A Time of Disaster (ATOD) event, the disaster VDC is brought online and made available to the customer though the cloud. The disaster VDC is allocated resources from a first set of resources 550 that are dedicated to the specific customer and to the disaster recovery purpose. However, the test VDC, brought on line at A Time of Test (ATOT), is allocated resources from second set of shared resources arranged in a pool 560. The resources in the shared pool are separate from the resources in the first set, and therefore provisioning of the test VDC does not disturb critical resource assignments (such as firewall and VLAN configurations) needed in the event of a disaster.

Title: Control of WLAN connection using an authentication process
Inventor: TONER BENEDICT
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2013-10-11
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention proxy control the establishment or continued existence of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) connection by using the back end authentication mechanism to authenticate or de-authenticate a WLAN session in dependence on the experienced quality of the connection during the set-up phase or session itself. The quality metrics may include packet delay, jitter, latency or the time taken to complete an authentication operation. This has the effect of preventing a bad quality connection from being established or disconnecting an ongoing connection of low quality, and hence should improve the user experience, and help a WLAN network operator maintain a service with high Quality of Service (QoS).
