Patent GB-2496807-A (GB)
Title: Computer system, management method thereof and program
Inventor: MATSUNAGA NAOYUKI
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2010-12-13
Abstract: The present invention provides a pool capacity monitoring technology capable of properly predicting the timing for the depletion of pool capacity even if there is a change in an external environment such as the addition of a new application or a characteristic change in an existing application and so forth. According to the present invention, in order to predict the timing for the depletion of pool capacity, every time there is a change in the external environment such as the addition of an application, the amount of consumption for each media constituting the pool is predicted, and the prediction of the time the capacity will be depleted is recalculated. Further, a prediction value for an I/O consumption trend for each application using virtual volumes is calculated for each media from a past consumption trend stored in a storage.

Title: Sensing annular flow in a wellbore
Inventor: HUANG SONGMING
IPC: G01F1/66
Filed: 2014-01-29
Abstract: A downhole flow measuring tool includes a support bar 5 disposed on arms 3, 7 and is configured to carry sensors for measuring fluid flow. The sensors 9a, 9b may include ultrasonic (Doppler) and electrical capacitance sensors at close distances to the casing wall of the wellbore such that properties of thickness, flow velocity, acoustic impedance and the dielectric constant of the liquid layer are measured at a number of circumferential locations inside the casing of the wellbore. The distance of the sensors 9a, 9b from the casing 1 may be set by the radius of wheels 4, 6. These measured values may then be combined to derive the average flow rate of the layer and also used to identify whether the liquid is water or condensate/oil, or a mixture of the two with a certain water-in-liquid ratio. Combined with a gas flow rate and a liquid droplets concentration measurement, the total liquid flow rate and liquid type can be derived.

Title: Improvement to analysing physiological electrograms
Inventor: SAUMAREZ RICHARD C
IPC: A61N1/37
Filed: 2014-08-13
Abstract: A noise model14 is derived from a first portion of a cardiac electrogram 11 where a physiological signal is presumed to be absent. A second portion of the electrogram 12, presumed to contain a physiological signal, is transformed into the noise model 14. The physiological signal is identified as those portions of the electrogram that do not conform to the noise model 14. The noise model 14 is created by correlation of the noise regions 11 with templates 13. The physiological signal regions 12 are correlated with the templates 13 and projected into eigenvector space of the model. Results within the space indicate the signal is noise, but results exceeding the limits of the space indicate the signal is physiological. Risk of sudden death due to cardiac arrhythmias can be predicted by observing paced endocardial electrograms, specifically detecting small deflections in the electrogram following early stimulation. These small individual potentials can be detected despite the presence of noise.

Title: Preventing browser-originating attacks
Inventor: TIMO HIRVONEN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-11-19
Abstract: Browser-based port scanning attacks in a Local Area Network (LAN) are prevented. A security device in the LAN intercepts a message from a first device in the LAN towards a second device in the LAN, the message requesting connection between the devices. The security device prompts a user of the first device to approve the connection. In the event that the user does not give approval, the connection attempt is terminated. If the connection is the result of a browser port scanning attack, the user will not approve the connection since they did not initiate it. In other embodiments the connection may be approved if it does not originate from a known browser (S6, fig. 2), or if the addresses of websites used at the first device within a predetermined time period are contained in a white-list of trusted websites (S7), or if an address bar of a browser at the first device contains a trusted address (S8).
