Title: Flow regulator assembly
Inventor: JORDY DUSTIN R
IPC: E21B34/08
Filed: 2009-10-20
Abstract: A system for and method of supplying an injection fluid to a well assembly so that the injection fluid flows at a substantially constant flow rate. The fluid can be injected at a single site in the well assembly or multiple sites. A flow control regulator is included that attaches to the well assembly and provides a self adjusting flow control for the fluid being injected. The regulator includes a slidable floating sleeve having an orifice through which the fluid flows. The sleeve includes an inlet port that can register with a fluid supply port to allow the injection fluid to make its way into the sleeve. The fluid exits the sleeve through the orifice to generate a pressure differential across the orifice that in turn exerts a sliding force onto the sleeve. Moving the sleeve misaligns the inlet port and fluid supply port thereby throttling flow through the regulator to a predetermined flow rate.

Title: Transmitter processing control according to jitter buffer status information of the receiver
Inventor: VAFIN RENAT
IPC: H04L49/9023
Filed: 2011-10-25
Abstract: Transmitting data of a real-time communication event from the transmitter to a jitter buffer of a receiver is described, such as during a video telephone call. Jitter buffer state information is received at the transmitter from the receiver, the jitter buffer state information indicating a state of the jitter buffer. At least one processing parameter is controlled based on the received jitter buffer state information, the at least one processing parameter describing how data is to be processed for transmission from the transmitter to the jitter buffer in the real-time communication event. Data is processed for transmission from the transmitter to the jitter buffer in accordance with the determined at least one processing parameter. The processed data is transmitted from the transmitter to the jitter buffer of the receiver in the real-time communication event. Example embodiments include changing a quality parameter of the transmitted data according to the jitter buffer status information, such as a coding quality, a bit rate or a robustness (e.g. forward error correction depth/level/overhead) against packet loss. Alternatively, or in addition, packetization delay or interleaving delay may be controlled according to jitter buffer state information. Jitter buffer state information may comprise size information, available space information or delay information of the jitter buffer. The state information may relate to a current or predicted state. The overall method works so that the transmitted data is constrained to remain recoverable from the jitter buffer of the receiver. In a further embodiment the transmitter specifies additional jitter buffer state information indicative of an adjusted state of the jitter buffer of the receiver suited to receiving data transmitted with an adjusted processing parameter by the transmitter

Title: Memory address translation-based data encryption/compression
Inventor: SHEARER ROBERT A
IPC: G06F12/10
Filed: 2013-01-11
Abstract: A method performed in response to a memory access request by a thread 208 from a processing core 204, the method comprising; accessing a memory address translation structure (virtual-to-physical address translation table 210 or translation lookaside buffer 214) to perform a memory address translation for the request; accessing an encryption-related page attribute for the memory page to be accessed, the attribute indicating whether data in the page is encrypted or to be encrypted; selectively streaming data in the memory page through an encryption engine 220 to perform encryption or decryption based upon the attribute. This method may be implemented in a multi-core processing arrangement. If the memory address translation structure indicates that the processor thread should not have access to the memory page, access may be restricted, a software exception may be asserted, or the system may be shut down. This security method ensures that sensitive data is encrypted before being written to a memory page, and decrypted before being read. An alternative method comprises selectively streaming data in the memory page through a compression engine 222 to perform a compression or decompression based upon a compression-related page attribute.

Title: Allocating communications resources within different frequency ranges according to the relative capability of a communications device
Inventor: MORIOKA YUICHI
IPC: H04W28/20
Filed: 2013-01-24
Abstract: A wireless access interface of a mobile communications network provides communications resources across a host frequency bandwidth and includes, within the host frequency bandwidth, a first section of communications resources within a first frequency bandwidth forming a first virtual carrier for allocation preferably to reduced capability devices. Each reduced capability device has a receiver bandwidth greater than or equal to the first frequency bandwidth but less than the host frequency bandwidth. A communications device transmits to the mobile communications network a relative capability to receive data via the wireless access interface, the relative capability comprising an indication of a relative bandwidth of a receiver unit of the communications device to receive signals within the host frequency range greater than or equal to the first bandwidth. In response, the communications device receives an allocation of communications resources that includes communications resources outside the first virtual carrier, but within the bandwidth of the receiver unit. Thus, communications devices can be allocated communications resources within different frequency ranges according to their capability, which can relieve congestion on a centre frequency of communications resources in which communications devices with a minimum bandwidth capability must receive communications resources for receiving downlink signals.
