Title: Ordering of requests using offset fields in a fibre channel input/output data routing system and method.
Inventor: CASPER DANIEL FRANCIS
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 2012-04-17
Abstract: A method for performing an input/output (I/O) operation between a host computer (102) and control-unit (118) comprises obtaining information about the I/O operation from a channel subsystem (128) in the host system, the channel having a local processor and memory. An Address Control Word (ACW) (Fig 11) is generated and specifying the memory location and having an expected offset filed (264, Fig 11) indicating a relative order of an expected data transfer request is stored in the local memory. An address control structure (Fig 5) for each data transfer in the I/O operation is generated and forwarded to the network interface between the channel subsystem and I/O device and specifies a location in the local memory of the ACW includes an offset field (180, Fig 5) indicating a relative order or a corresponding data transfer request relative to other data transfers in the plurality of consecutive data transfer requests. On receipt of an I/O command message via the network a data transfer request from the network interface is issued and includes addressing information. A data route in the channel compares the offset and expected offset fields to determine if the transfer request has been received in the correct order. If the request has been received in order, the corresponding ACW is accessed retrieved and used to route the data transfer request to the host memory (106) specified in the ACW. The expected offset field in the ACW is incremented by an amount corresponding to a size of the data transfer request.

Title: Distributing encrypted multimedia data via a closed box
Inventor: SANTHERASAKARAM JEROME ANTHONY
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 2012-07-23
Abstract: A method of distributing multimedia data across a network comprising a server terminal 101 storing multimedia data, a server-dependent (or server-controlled) data processing device 105 and a user terminal 109 remote from the server, comprises the steps of; associating with the server-dependent device a user identifier of a user operating the user terminal; the server receiving a request 110 for multimedia data from the user terminal; encrypting or scrambling this data and communicating 104 the encrypted data to the server-dependent device; and storing the encrypted data at the server-dependent device. The server-dependent device may then decrypt the data and reproduce 108 the media for the user. The server-dependent device may be a closed, proprietary device configured for minimal user interaction and for preventing user access to its components, device file system and the encrypted media data.

Title: Gamma Ray Spectrometry Stabilization
Inventor: RAMSDEN DAVID
IPC: G01T1/36
Filed: 2012-07-27
Abstract: A calibration source for a gamma-ray spectrometer is comprises a cuboid scintillator body having a cavity formed b drilling in which a radioactive material is received. The radioactive material comprises an isotope having a decay transition associated with emission of a radiation particle and a gamma-ray having a known energy e.g.Na-22. A photodetector such as a silicon photomultiplier is optically coupled to the scintillator body to detect scintillation photons generated when radiation particles interact with the surrounding scintillator body. A gating circuit receives signals from the photodetector to generate gating signals for an associated gamma-ray spectrometer to indicate that gamma-ray detections in the spectrometer occurring within a time window defined by the gating signal are associated with a decay transition in the radioactive isotope. The radioactive material may be introduced into the scintillator body in a separate step after manufacture of the scintillator body.

Title: A method of moulding and a core plug for use in the method
Inventor: PARKER SIMON
IPC: B29C33/50
Filed: 2014-04-17
Abstract: A method of moulding a component of predetermined size and closed shape with an internal void. The method, suitable for the aerospace industry, comprises producing a core plug 1 for use in the method. The method comprises the steps of cutting a piece of resilient open cell foam material 2 to substantially match said predetermined size and shape of the internal void of a component to be moulded. The foam may be wetted and frozen or a coolant gas may be passed through the foam to make the foam more rigid. A flexible sealant 7 is applied to an outer surface of the cut piece of open cell foam to form a closed core. The closed core is then placed in a mould to support a component during moulding and curing. A vacuum 6 is generated through a tube 3 within the closed core to collapse it within the void after the moulded component has cured to remove it through an opening in the moulded component.

Abstract: A first embodiment of this application is concerned with deriving the precoding matrix for a Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) signal which maximises channel capacity. The MIMO signal is transmitted using a first pair of antennas and a second pair of antennas. The first pair of antennas transmits the same signal as the second pair of antennas. In this embodiment the precoding matrix comprises at least two sub-matrices (G, M) each associated with a different one of the first and second pairs of antennas. The second embodiment, which is claimed, is concerned with an OFDM-MIMO application in which a series of transformations are applied to the precoding matrix (equation 6). The transformations include a first carrier index dependent complex rotation Î±(n, t) of the signal destined for one of the antenna pairs, a real 2x2 rotation matrix, and a second carrier index dependent complex rotation Î²(n, t) (equation 5). A cyclic diversity delay may also be applied (equation 4).

Title: Software discovery in an environment with heterogeneous machine groups
Inventor: PALUCH MICHAL S
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2014-07-28
Abstract: To identify installed software in environments with heterogeneous machine groups, a group of computing systems with similar software program is identified (102). A first scan (104) of each system in the group uses a first catalogue comprising large number of software signatures to identify installed programs. The signatures of identified programs are added to a base installation software catalog (106). A second scan of the group is performed using the base catalogue (108). The base catalog has reduced size allowing faster scans to re discover installed programs compared to the full procedure of the first scan. Signatures can be added or removed from the base catalogue following the second scan. First or second scans can be performed on selected systems of a group based on workload, predefined schema, or external settings. Subgroups having systems with identical software above a threshold are also identified. Signatures comprise magic numbers, sequences of bytes, checksums.
