Title: Extended life discharge lamp
Inventor: MOSS GRAHAM HARRY
IPC: H05B41/14
Filed: 2013-12-27
Abstract: A system and method for operating a discharge lamp monitors the lamp voltage while operating the lamp at a normal power level. When the voltage passes a threshold value the input power level is changed to a regeneration power level for a first period of time, operation at which power level may at least partially restore electrode shape of the lamp. For different types of lamp the change to the regeneration power level may be made when the voltage exceeds a threshold voltage, or drops below a threshold voltage, as appropriate. The regeneration power may be higher or lower than the normal power, as appropriate. Which options are appropriate will depend upon the characteristics of the lamp used.

Title: Linear-recording device for performing optimal writing on receipt of command string of combined read and write commands method for same, and program
Inventor: TAGUCHI KOHHEI
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2012-04-13
Abstract: Provided is a tape storage device having an optimal write method even when an overwrite operation is introduced during a combined read/write operation. When the overwrite position of data on a tape is upstream of the end position of write-once data on the tape, the overwrite data position is updated as the end position of the write-once data; and when the overwrite position of the data on the tape is downstream of the end position of the write-once data on the tape, the overwrite data position is updated as the end position of the write-once data in a non-volatile memory (EOD in memory). This allows the overall performance of the combined operation to be improved in the tape storage device even when an overwrite operation is introduced in a command string in which reading and once-writing from a higher-level device are combined together.

Title: Controlling a server
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN
IPC: H04L12/12
Filed: 2014-05-28
Abstract: The resources associated with providing a service to a user 1 from a server 3 via a network are reduced by automatically deactivating the server when it is determined that the service is not required. When the server is deactivated, any requests addressed to the server are redirected via the network to a machine manager 7. The machine manager determines whether the service is required based on the request, and if so, automatically reactivates the server. The server may be a cloud based or virtual server, or a physical server. The service may only be required intermittently and may be a test website used by developers. The requests may be redirected by a proxy server between the user and server. The machine manager may determine that the service is required by inspecting the request and/or metadata associated with the request. Deactivation may occur when utilisation of the server is below a predetermined threshold for a given period of time.
