Title: Resource management with conditioned policies
Inventor: ARCESE MAURO
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2013-02-28
Abstract: A problem with resource management is the control of the application sequence of policies on target machines, as they are often dependent on one another. The present invention utilizes service management policies (Ps1) to update status information of each target therefore making them aware of the status of the other targets. This is done without the targets having to directly communicate with each other, or the server itself having to apply or process the operative management policies. The method of the invention involves deploying a set of operative management policies to a set of target computing machines to cause the target computing machine to verify the application condition of each assigned operative management policy according to status information available on the target computing machine and to apply each assigned operative management policy with no application condition or having the application condition being satisfied by executing the corresponding management activity. The method then receives an indication of an application outcome of each applied operative management policy, and then creates a set of service management policies (Ps1) each one for at least one of the applied operative management policies according to the corresponding application outcome, the management activity of each service management policy being configured to update the status information of the target computing machine wherein the service management policy is applied according to the application outcome of the corresponding at least one applied operative management policy. The service management policies are then deployed.

Title: Tip clearance control method
Inventor: SMITH MARCUS DONEGAN WOOD
IPC: F01D11/24
Filed: 2013-07-09
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling tip clearance of rotor blades from a surrounding casing in a gas turbine engine and an associated clearance control system. The method comprises the steps of performing a first run of the gas turbine engine, shutting down the gas turbine engine and starting the gas turbine engine for a second run. At least one performance parameter, such as the air temperature in a cavity in the turbine engine, is measured during or after the first engine run but before air within the gas turbine engine, which is soaked to the approximate temperature of one or more surrounding engine components, is substantially displaced as a consequence of the second run. The thermal condition of at least part of the engine in accordance with the measured performance parameters is then recorded. Finally the recorded thermal condition is retrieved and the temperature of the casing is controlled during at least part of the second run in a manner dependent on it. The method allows for the air temperature used to control the diameter of the engine casing to take in to account any residual heat in the engine from a previous engine run.

Title: Reselecting a different transmission time interval resource in a wireless network
Inventor: MARTIN BRIAN ALEXANDER
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2011-11-07
Abstract: A mobile terminal selects a first TTI (Transmission Time Interval) resource in conjunction with an uplink (40). If a failure condition (44) associated with the uplink (42) is detected then a second TTI resource, different from the first TTI resource, is selected. The first and second TTI resource may define time periods of 2ms and 10ms respectively. The failure condition may be a transmission power level increasing above a threshold, a predefined number of retransmissions before a successful acknowledgement, detection of an unrecoverable error in the uplink or, failing to receive a response from a network to a transition indication (between the first and second TTI). The failure condition may be caused by a mobile terminal moving to a different portion of the coverage area and/or in an instance in which the TTI resource was initially incorrectly selected, such as based upon an inaccurate measurement.
