Patent GB-2514560-A (GB)
Title: An LED lighting system
Inventor: DAVIES NICHOLAS CHARLES
IPC: F21S4/00
Filed: 2013-05-28
Abstract: A lighting system 1 for providing ambient lighting to a room has an elongate body with a flat inner surface 2 for attachment to another surface, a shelf 4 and an outer surface 3 that includes a lip 9 which extends beyond the shelf 4. A strip of LED lights 11 extends along the shelf 4 behind the lip 9 and shines outwards. The fact that the lights 11 are behind the lip 9 allows light to flood outwards without the 'point' light source of the LEDs being directly visible, and the flat rear wall 2 allows the lighting system to be easily connected to another suitable flat surface.

Patent GB-2529217-A (GB)
Title: Transmission control checking for interconnect circuitry
Inventor: WILLIAMS MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G06F13/14
Filed: 2014-08-14
Abstract: Transmission control checking circuitry adds control check data to a transaction response which is received at a transaction master and compared with expected data. The control check data may be a unique transaction identifier, check data is reflected back to the source of the transaction to detect that transaction response corresponds to the transaction request. The transaction master generates a unique transaction identifier when it generates the transaction request and will check that the transaction responses include that unique transaction identifier allowing errors in the control of transmission of transactions (e.g. misrouting) to be detected and acted upon which may involve repeating the request, resetting the system or a different fail safe response. Transaction response may include payload data. The transaction slave may also detect errors by checking data associated with a write request against control check data subsequently received by the slave for what purports to be corresponding write data.

Title: Modeling a border gateway protocol network
Inventor: Jay Perrett
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a model of a transit autonomous system (AS) network. The method comprises analyzing the routing information base for each border gateway protocol (BGP) node in the AS and storing, for each BGP router, (i) a routing table; and, (ii) a prioritized list of next hops for each prefix based on the appropriate best path algorithm. The model can be used to (a) determine how traffic will be routed through the transit AS in steady state and failure scenarios (e.g. when one or more links or nodes/routers have failed); and/or (b) determine how traffic should be routed through the transit AS (e.g. determine the best routes) in steady state and failure scenarios. The optimal routing of the traffic in a particular steady state or failure scenario (as determined by the model) can be compared to the actual routing of the traffic in the steady state or failure scenario (as determined by the model) to determine what changes to make to the transit AS to achieve the optimum routing.

Title: Automated voice connection to a best-determined target by skill based routing
Inventor: CLAYTON MARK
IPC: H04M3/523
Filed: 2013-05-10
Abstract: Directory service implemented by an apparatus and method for initiating a voice communication to a best-determined target includes associating a plurality of workers in a worker list with a skills profile for each worker (Skill based routing). Upon receiving an assistance request for a task, the worker list can be searched automatically for target contacts having the skill profile best-matching the assistance request. Further search criteria can be compared between the task and the matched target contacts to facilitate the proper selection of the best-matched target contacts. Ranking of results based not only on skill matching, but also on availability, location, history of contacts, etc. Availability is assessed with presence monitoring and with a comparison of the priority of the requester's task or hierarchical position with those of the requested party. Upon a match, a voice communication is automatically initiated between the requestor to the best-determined target contact. If no matched contact is currently available, the presence system monitors the availability of the contact (e. g., Call Completion on Busy Subscriber).
