Title: Health monitoring for web-based collaboration environments
Inventor: BOULANGER ANTOINE
IPC: G16H10/60
Filed: 2012-12-20
Abstract: System and method for monitoring the health of modules in a web-based collaboration environment are disclosed. The health monitoring system 120 identifies at least one module 108,195,196, where each module provides one or more services to clients via one or more host servers 105. In particular, the services are redundantly accessible from more than one of the plurality of modules. The health monitoring system monitors the availability status of the one or more modules, receives a query from a host server identifying a module and processes the query to determine an availability status of module. The health monitoring system then sends a response to the query to the host server. The host server(s) is configured to receive client requests 604, process the client requests to determine one or more data items, select one or more modules having the one or more data items stored thereon, and responsively transfer one or more queries requesting availability of the one or more modules to the health monitoring system. The health monitoring system is configured to periodically determine the availability status of the one or more modules. Advantageously, the monitoring of the modules is bifurcated from the host or front-end server to offload the monitoring burden.

Inventor: BEVAN DAVID DAMIAN NICHOLAS
IPC: H04B1/525
Filed: 2014-07-22
Abstract: This application is concerned with reducing interference caused to a receiver due to passive intermodulation (PIM) products. A received signal (C3 + I3) is affected by interference (I3, Fig. 1) resulting from non-linear products of components of a first transmit signal (C1, Fig. 1) and a components of a second transmit signal (C2, Fig. 1). A simulated interference signal 46 comprising at least one simulated non-linear product term is generated and used to cancel the interference. Generation of the simulated interference signal involves first producing a complex composite baseband signal, A, comprising baseband versions 40, 42 of at least the first signal and the second signal, and then applying one or more non-linear functions 74 to the composite signal. The first and second baseband signals are shifted in frequency 70 to ensure there is no overlap between a frequency range of the first baseband signal and a frequency range of the second baseband signal.

Title: Improvements to machining control
Inventor: SELWYN JONATHAN GRIFFITHS
IPC: B24B49/00
Filed: 2016-01-08
Abstract: A method of machining a workpiece comprises moving at least one of a tool mount and a workpiece mount with a drive mechanism under the control of a control arrangement so that the tool, such as a grinding wheel, contacts a portion of the workpiece to commence a machining operation and the tool then removes material from the portion of the workpiece until completion of the machining operation, the movement being such that the relative velocity between the tool and the workpiece decreases continuously during the majority of the time that the tool and the workpiece are in contact with each other during the machining operation. The control arrangement may calculate a relative velocity profile using an algorithm comprising a second or higher order polynomial or a term which decreases exponentially with respect to time. The algorithm may be a spline fitting algorithm. A new relative velocity profile may be determined part way through the machining operation.

Title: Multimedia document summarization
Inventor: NATWAR MODANI
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2016-09-20
Abstract: Multimedia document summarization techniques are described. That is, given a document that includes text and a set of images, various implementations generate a summary by extracting relevant text segments in the document and relevant segments of images with constraints on the amount of text and number/size of images in the summary. In one embodiment a given document is divided into elements. One class of elements pertains to a first content type such as text units, while another class of elements pertains to a second different content type such as image units. Budget constraints associated with the elements are ascertained and can include the size/number of images, and number of sentences, words, or characters. In a second approach, a graph-based approach is utilized. Specifically, a graph is created whose nodes represent different content, e.g, text elements or image elements. Each element has a corresponding reward which is based on an inherent value of the element without considering other elements in a corresponding document. The graph based approach tries to ensure maximum cross cohesion between segments of the different types (text and images) while also ensuring diversity of content and coverage of information overall.
