Title: Combination Lock Closure
Inventor: SALIH SHAFIK
IPC: B65D43/02
Filed: 2011-09-17
Abstract: A tamper resistant cap comprises an inner, threaded closure 11 and an outer intruder resistant device 1 rotating together with the closure when aligned allowing opening of the container, and rotating relative to the closure when misaligned to prevent opening. The device may comprise rings 1, 3, 4 joined by teeth 9 received in annular gaps. Marks e.g. numbers on each ring (figure 1) indicate correct alignment e.g. in the form of a code or password. The lower ring 4 has a stepped portion engaging a flexible lower part 12 of the closure. When the rings are not aligned a projection presses against part 12 preventing this part from passing the bottom 13 of a screw thread 20 on the container neck. When the rings are aligned the device may be pressed down, a gap 21 allowing space for portion 12 to pass the end of the screw thread so that the closure may be rotated and removed. Corresponding teeth 14, 23 and gaps on the inner surface of the device and outer surface of the closure engage when the rings are aligned providing a clutch to allow the device to be pressed down.

Title: Secure kerberized access of encrypted file system
Inventor: SHANKAR RAVI
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2010-12-14
Abstract: A file server receives a request from a client to mount an encrypted file system. The file server informs the client that the requested file system is encrypted and, in turn, receives a session ticket from the client that includes a security protocol mounting selection. The file server decrypts the client's user's encrypted private key, and then decrypts the requested encrypted file system using the private key. In turn, the file server sends the decrypted file system to the client over a secure channel, which is based upon the security protocol mounting selection. In one embodiment, a key distribution center server receives a request from the client for the client's user to access the encrypted file system at the file server. The key distribution center server retrieves an intermediate key; includes the intermediate key in a session ticket; and sends the session ticket to the client.

Title: Monitoring applications executing on a virtual machine and allocating the required resources to the virtual machine.
Inventor: CIANO GIUSEPPE
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2012-11-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of running an application on a virtual machine executing on a distributed computer system. The application is executed on a reduced operating system configured for the application. The application is deployed on a first set of virtual machines with a first set of allocated resources. The method comprises determining a monitoring time period, and operational constraints for the application. Parameters of the application are monitored for the set period and time dependent values of the parameters collected. The values of the parameters are used to derive a time dependent metric value based on the operational constraints. If one at least one of the metric values violates one of the operational constraints a second set of resources and virtual machines are allocated and deployed for the application. The metric value may be derived by producing a mathematical function of the behaviour parameters and using the function to determine the metric value.

Title: Offloading data communications between Radio Access Networks
Inventor: HENTTONEN TERO
IPC: H04W16/08
Filed: 2013-01-18
Abstract: At one or more network nodes of a mobile telephony radio access network a preference to offload at least some data communication in the mobile telephony radio access network to a further radio access network (e.g. a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) other than the mobile telephony radio access network, is identified. In response to this identification, an indication of the identified offloading preference is caused to be transmitted, via the mobile telephony radio access network, to at least one user equipment. The at least one user equipment is then offloaded to the further radio access network to allow better network utilization. A preference to offload may be partly based upon monitored network traffic exceeding a threshold. The network node may also prioritize the at least some data over other data when determining the offload preference.

Title: Distributed proxy and cache system for resource and mobile network traffic management
Inventor: LUNA MICHAEL
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2011-07-08
Abstract: Caching content on a mobile device comprises: detecting a content source, with which the mobile device interacts, as having content suitable for caching; storing content received from the content source as cache elements in a local cache on the mobile device; identifying the content source to a proxy server remote from and in wireless communication with the mobile device such that the proxy server monitors the content source for new or changed data; invaliding the cache elements in the local cache when the proxy server detects new or changed data. In response to receiving a polling request to contact the content server, the mobile device may retrieve the cached elements from the local cache such that a radio is not activated to service the polling request. Determining whether cached elements in the local cache are valid may be based in part on detected or inferred user behaviour at the mobile device or on patterns in polling requests. Also disclosed are means for: detecting a first data request made by a first mobile application on the mobile device; retrieving cached elements stored in the local cache to respond to the first data request; detecting a second data request made by a second mobile application; and, establishing connectivity of the mobile device to the wireless network to satisfy the second data request made.
