Title: Advanced functional behaviors in a database management system
Inventor: KULKARNI KRISHNARO GURURAO
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2011-05-19
Abstract: A row property provides a mechanism for implementing advanced functional behavior in a relational database management system (RDBMS) without introducing new data types. A row property is part of a table definition, such that, when a table is defined in the RDBMS, at least one row property is specified for one or more associated columns of rows of the table, wherein the row property has an associated functional behavior that is predefined within the RDBMS. The columns associated with the row property are generally of existing data types supported by an RDBMS. A row property may be invoked when the RDBMS processes a language statement that references the row property. When the row property is invoked, the RDBMS executes programming logic associated with the row property, in order to perform the advanced functional behavior using data stored in the associated columns.

Patent GB-2521459-A (GB)
Title: Internet access via satellite
Inventor: RICHARDSON SCOTT
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 2013-12-20
Abstract: The invention is concerned with a multi-beam satellite system which provides internet access to a plurality of users. Each beam covers a respective geographic area 202a-202c. The available bandwidth is divided into a plurality of pools. In a preferred embodiment each of these bandwidth pools is associated with a different beam. Bandwidth is initially allocated to each pool, for example based on the number of users in each pool and the expected bandwidth required per user. However the size of two or more of the bandwidth pools may be dynamically adapted to temporarily reallocate currently unused bandwidth from one of the pools to another of the pools in response to current demand. In an alternative embodiment rather than being associated with different beams, each pool may be associated with a different service type (e.g. domestic users or business users), different satellites, different ground station gateways or different internet service providers. In the embodiment of Fig. 9 the pools have a hierarchical structure which takes each of these associations into account.

Title: Starting a process
Inventor: WEI WEI
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2012-09-26
Abstract: According to an example, a method includes: before a first process exits, a kernel receives a connection holding request carrying a File Descriptor (FD) transmitted by the first process, with respect to the FD carried by the connection holding request, the kernel increases a reference count of a file object corresponding to the FD and puts the file object into a cache, the kernel returns cache position information to the first process, such that the first process puts a corresponding relationship between the cache position information and identifier information of a communication connection pointed to by the FD in a predefined storage area; when a second process starts, the kernel receives an FD obtaining request carrying the cache position information transmitted by the second process, reads the file object from the cache, assigns a new FD to the file object and returns the new FD to the second process.

Title: Handover from a relay node
Inventor: RAAF BERNHARD
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2010-04-30
Abstract: In handover from an intermediate access node (relay node, RN) to a new access node, the relay node transmits a first handover request message which identifies a plurality of access nodes as candidates for the new access node. Upon receipt of the first handover request message, the donor eNB (DeNB) to which the RN is connected sends second handover request messages to a plurality of the candidates and upon receiving an indication that one access node has adequate resources available, sends handover cancellation messages to at least some of the remaining access nodes. The candidates are preferably identified in a field in the first handover request message, which may be of variable length or of a predetermined fixed length. The number of bits used to identify the candidate access nodes may be determined based on information collected about neighbours of the intermediate access node. Candidate access nodes can be divided into groups and the first handover request may identify a particular group whose composition is known to the receiver of the message. The arrangement means the backhaul link to the DeNB is used only once to indicate a plurality of candidate cells for handover.

Title: Methods and systems for selecting media guidance applications based on a position of a brain monitoring user device
Inventor: KLAPPERT WALTER R
IPC: H04N21/422
Filed: 2015-03-31
Abstract: A position of a brain monitoring user device on a user is determined based on the detection of a first brain signal from a first brain region. The determined position of the user device is cross-referenced with a database of sets of media guidance application operations that are accessible based on positions of user devices in order to determine a set of interactive media guidance application operations that are accessible by the user based on the determined position of the user device. The first brain signal may comprise an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal or an electromyogram (EMG) signal. The user device may be a circular fixture such as a headband, or may be shaped as jewellery. The media guidance application may be an electronic program guide (EPG), and the operations may relate to controlling the volume or changing channel. The media guidance application may therefore provide different operations to the user based on the position of the brain monitoring user device. A user may move the position of the user device in order to perform operations triggered by different brain signals.

Title: Abrasive processing method
Inventor: ARTHUR WEE
IPC: F01D5/12
Filed: 2015-09-11
Abstract: A method for processing a component surface by abrading the component surface using an abrasive surface comprises rotating the abrasive surface about an axis extending parallel to said component surface, moving the abrasive surface or the component surface along a computer-generated toolpath whilst applying a force between the abrasive surface and the component surface and increasing the force between the abrasive surface and the component surface from a minimum force to a maximum force as the distance along the toolpath increases. This maintains constant material removal from the component surface as the effectiveness of the abrasive surface reduces through use and compensates for wear. The feed rate between the abrasive surface and the component may be controlled. The method may be calibrated by measuring material removed from a plate for a given force and varying that force until a desired amount of material is removed. The abrasive surface may be a belt and the component may be a gas turbine vane or blade. The force may increase linearly or stepwise. The movement may be effected using a computer controlled robotic arm.

IPC: G01V1/104
Filed: 2013-05-31
Abstract: The methods described are for determining distribution, orientation and dimensions of networks of hydraulically-induced fractures within a subterranean formation containing fluids. Micro-seismic events are generated by particles introduced into the fractures which are capable of explosive or chemical reaction. Specially designed particles with specific functionalities are positioned in the fracture. The particles include encapsulated capacitive devices or nano-rfid devices for triggering reaction of reactive particle materials. The resulting energetic reactions cause micro-seismic events detected by sensors positioned at the surface, in local observation wells, or in the wellbore from which the particles are released.
