Title: Network implemented content processing
Inventor: MOSS NICHOLAS IAN
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2005-11-09
Abstract: In the present invention, a data processing device for processing streams of network borne data includes content inspection logic configurable to perform pattern matching functions on a received content stream and output match data, and a microengine for executing computer coded instructions, the microengine being coupled to the content inspection logic for configuring the pattern matching function of the content inspection unit in respect of a particular processing job for the received content stream and for processing the content stream in dependence on the match data. The microengine is adapted to reconfigure dynamically the content inspection logic in dependence on the match data thereby to modify the pattern matching function performed by the content inspection logic on the content stream during the course of a processing job. The present invention provides a novel architecture and method for processing content as it flows through a network. The processing of content includes parsing, analysing, modifying and controlling the delivery of a content stream using a number of pattern matching techniques. Importantly, the present invention makes it possible to adjust the parameters of the pattern matching search as the search progresses through the content stream.

Title: A method of processing neutron log data
Inventor: SAMWORTH JAMES ROGER
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2006-09-19
Abstract: A method of processing neutron log data and related apparatuses to determine the nature of subterranean formations such as porosity. The method comprises the steps of: (a) deriving from the near-spaced neutron count of a neutron logging tool an approximate, unfiltered, lithology-related characteristic of a formation; (b) deriving a correction that is essentially independent of the lithology; (c) long filtering the correction; and (d) adding the resulting, long-filtered correction to the approximate, unfiltered characteristic resulting from step (a) in order to derive a compensated characteristic. The neutron log data may be acquired by operating a neutron logging tool having a neutron source and near- and far-spaced detectors in a borehole. The method provides statistically good, compensated logs while permitting the use of low activity neutron sources.

Abstract: An access terminal (100) receives token data (200) from a token reader (106) and transaction data (202) from an input means (108), transmits to an account server (120) a first transaction request (204) containing the token data and the transaction data and transmits to an authorisation server (140) a second transaction request (206) including data identifying the access terminal. The account server receives the first transaction request. processes the token data to generate account identification data associated with the token user and to transmits a third transaction request (208) including the transaction data (but not the token data) to the authorisation server. The authorisation server receives the second and third transaction requests: processes the transaction data and the access terminal identification data to determine whether the access terminal is authorised to enable the transaction and, if applicable, transmits to the account server an authorisation request (210) to indicate that the access terminal is authorised. The account server receives the authorisation request, processes the transaction data and modifies the account data accordingly. The method is intended to ensure that neither the account server nor the authorisation server receives data relating to the token, transaction and access terminal identification, in the interest of improving security in the system. Applications include point of sale (POS) and door access systems.

Title: Handling Connection between A Client and Multiple Host Devices
Inventor: AKESTER RICHARD JOHN NOEL
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2007-07-06
Abstract: A method of handling a connection between a thin client device, such as a KVM dummy terminal, and a plurality of host devices. A client connected to a host device transmits a message to the host device requesting that the connection be transferred to a different host device. The invention uses a decentralised model, with no central arbitor, where the hosts control the session and switching functionality using a distributed algorithm. The switching may involve the hosts polling the client where the first host to detect the client connects to it. When a client relinquishes the connection, a different host can connect to it by the same polling method. Alternatively, a host may present a menu of different hosts to the user, and in response to a user selection the connected host disconnects and sends a message to the selected host instructing it to connect to the client device.

Title: Anode structure for a magnetron
Inventor: SOBIERADZKI EDWARD STANLEY
IPC: H01J23/48
Filed: 2008-01-30
Abstract: A magnetron has a first set of anode vanes 30 which connect by legs 52 to a coaxial output coupler 51 and a second set of anode vanes 19 which alternate with the vanes of the first set and are not connected to the output coupler. Additional capacitive coupling is introduced by means of axial anode extensions 19a - 29a on the vanes 19 which are not connected to the output coupler, such that the capacitance between the axial extensions and the cathode at least partially compensates for the capacitance between the output coupler and the cathode. The vanes of each set are held, for example, by strap rings which may be distributed along the length of the anode, at the same potential as each other, and the polarity of the vanes of one set is opposite to that of the other set. The reduced capacitive coupling between the cathode and the output coupler 51 due to the axial anode extensions effectively decouples the cathode and prevents the unwanted coaxial TEM mode propagating along the cathode.
