Patent GB-2501595-A (GB)
Title: Bit-masked downlink beacon codes to select sub-set of stations to contend for transmission in time-slotted system
Inventor: TONG FEI
IPC: H04L12/413
Filed: 2013-02-27
Abstract: In the claims a wireless access point (AP), bus master or equivalent transmits an interrogatory code value v to stations (STA 12-18) in a frame beacon (32-38) on a shared channel. The stations generate a response value rv and compare it with v. If there is no match the stations do not transmit 46,52. In preferred embodiments, the AP also transmits a bit mask m. The stations AND m with v and rv and compare the results. Stations may add 1s to m to create mask m, thereby reducing their chance of channel access. Example rv may be (pseudo)random or a hash of a MAC address. The AP may assign values rv once communication has commenced. The invention splits the stations in to sub-groups which may access the channel in each frame. This may reduce the collision rate compared to CSMA-CA or similar for large numbers of stations (see Fig. 5).

Title: Button structure for game controller
Inventor: LEE TSUNG-SHIH
IPC: H01H19/58
Filed: 2013-05-31
Abstract: A game controller button structure includes front button body 10 pivotally connected to a base frame 20 located in the controller parallel to a circuit board 90. The base frame includes curved guide slot 24 extending in a generally rearward direction. A slider 41 is arranged to slide in rearward and forward directions along the base frame, with a front end 42 of the slider abutting the back of the button body 10. A spring 60 between the base frame and slider biases the slider towards the button body. The slider includes a transverse guide channel 44. A rotating switch 50 sandwiched between the base frame and circuit board has a guide pillar 53 spaced from its axis of rotation (not shown) and extending through the guide slot 24 and into the guide channel 44. Pressing the button moves the slider rearward against the force of the spring, driving the guide pillar around the guide slot to effect rotation of the switch in one angular direction (see figure 4). Upon releasing the button, the slider moves forwardly under the return action of the spring, causing rotation of the switch in the other angular direction.

Title: Improved use of memory resources
Inventor: MEREDITH JASON
IPC: G06F12/12
Filed: 2013-08-20
Abstract: Methods of increasing the efficiency of memory resources within a processor 600 are described. In an embodiment, instead of including dedicated DSP (digital signal processing) indirect register resource (211, fig. 2) for storing data associated with DSP instructions, this data is stored in an allocated and locked region 606 within the cache 607 (e.g. L1 cache). The state of any cache lines which are used to store DSP data is then set to a write never state to prevent the data from being written back to memory(except upon a context switch (312, 316)). The size of the allocated region within the cache may be fixed or vary dynamically according to the amount of DSP data that needs to be stored and when no DSP instructions are being run, no cache resources are allocated for storage of DSP data. Also, the functionality of DSP access pipeline (214) is absorbed into the load-store pipeline 611. Two or more channels 608 may connect load-store pipeline 611 and cache 607. Cache 607 may be partitioned. Processor 600 may be a multithreaded processor having threads 602, 604 or single-threaded. The modified cache architecture may be used by other special instruction sets.

Title: Sharing data between distributed computer systems that use different classification schemes for data access control
Inventor: LLL RICHARD ALLEN DUCOTT
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-10-21
Abstract: A replication system comprises a group of databases which share data, the databases use different classification schemes for data access control and the sharing of data includes translating classifications markings during import and export of data. The invention uses the concept of origin classification, this represents a classification as it appeared in a database of the replication group when the classification was exported from that database. Origin classification is used within the replication system to facilitate translation of classification markings (e.g. top secret (TS), secret (S), confidential (C), restricted (R), unclassified (U)) between peer databases that use different classification schemes. The access control list may contain group-based or role based access control.

Title: Chemical compound database processing
Inventor: JOSEPH BRADLEY
IPC: G16C20/40
Filed: 2014-12-04
Abstract: Processing data records of a chemically aware database, using a two-step filter approach. The data records are first screened against a filter defining a core structural unit of a generic description of a class of controlled substances to discard data records without a core structural unit, then using a set of further filters to determine if the remaining data records are controlled substances which may be in force in specified jurisdictions. The user input filters may produce multiple subsets of data corresponding to generic descriptions of structures, such as alkyl group, or specific connectivity for a substructure, such than a data record is rejected if the connectivity of the dummy atoms do not have the required specific connectivity. A substructure definition in the data record may be replaced with a simplified substructure by removing the substructure and adding a hydrogen or methyl group to the open valencies. A defined Markush search may be used.
