Title: Extracting core data for a summary dump file based upon most recent trace data entries
Inventor: PETERS MATTHEW
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2012-10-03
Abstract: A method, which may be initiated in response to a virtual machine crash, for processing core data produced by a computer process to identify data relevant to the computer process. Core data 401 and trace file 402 are identified. A predetermined number of most recent entries in the trace data are selected in turn 403. References to a memory address, such as a pointer, in each selected trace data entry are identified and dereferenced. Data is extracted from the dereferenced memory location in the core data (404) and may be added to a summary core dump file which may be output 409. The process may be repeated 406, for each thread 407, where multi-threading is used. The dereferencing may be limited to a predetermined depth of references. The process may also include identifying register data, memory addresses or pointers therein and dereferencing those to extract core data (408). Extracting data might include marking the data in a core file.

Title: Filter cage
Inventor: ZHANG TIAN XUAN
IPC: B01D46/00
Filed: 2013-03-28
Abstract: A filter 34 for use in a baghouse 10 for filtering particulate material from fluid wherein the filter 34 is to be supported by a tubesheet 18 that separates dirty fluid and clean fluid chambers of the baghouse. The filter includes a filtration bag 44 having an open end adjacent to the tubesheet 18 and an encircling sidewall extending from the open end to a distal end along a direction of a central axis of the filtration bag 44. The bag sidewall permits passage of fluid there through so that the fluid may pass from the dirty fluid chamber 14 to the clean fluid chamber 16 and blocks passage of at least some particulate material against proceeding to the clean fluid chamber. A cage 42 located within the filtration bag 44 is structured to permit expansion to increase in diameter and force the bag sidewall taut against the cage. Advantageously filtration bag movement is reduced thus helping to avoid stress and wear on bags such as those including glass fibres.

Title: Driving behaviour monitoring system
Inventor: STACY PAUL ROWAN
IPC: G08G1/01
Filed: 2013-12-12
Abstract: A data processor (6, Fig.1) communicates with a driving behaviour monitoring device (3, Fig.1) carried in a vehicle (2, Fig.1). The data processor receives and processes driving behaviour data including an instantaneous geographical location of the device from the device 101-103; determines, based on the received data, whether said data is indicative of a driving accident event; and, if so, records a location of the event and determines whether the device moves by more than a predetermined distance from the location of the event within a predetermined amount of time. If the vehicle is stationary during the predetermined time, it is likely that a traffic accident (e.g. a collision) has occurred 104-105. The data may comprise vehicle speed, acceleration or deceleration. The system may thus filter out events that are unlikely to be genuine accident alerts e.g. to challenge a false insurance claim.

Title: Controlling access to a website
Inventor: BEJERASCO CHRISTINE
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-04-08
Abstract: A user initially accesses a plurality of training websites over a network and trains a user terminal by classifying the training websites in a content category by user input. A classification engine on the user terminal then extracts one or more features such as keywords indicative of the content category from the training websites and determines a classifier based on the extracted features. The classifier is checked by accessing further verifier websites, classifying using the engine, and the user verifying websites classified in the category. If the verifier website is determined by the user not to belong in the category, further features are extracted from the website and used as a control classifier for further accessed websites (Fig.2b, not shown). Access to websites may be controlled based on their categorization by this method.

Title: Instruction sampling within transactions
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN WILLIAMS
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2014-12-23
Abstract: A data processing apparatus 4 includes processing circuitry 6 for executing program instructions that form part of a transaction which executes to generatespeculative updates and to commit the speculative updates if the transaction completes without a conflict. Instruction sampling circuitry 44 captures instruction diagnostic data (IDD) relating to execution of a sampled instruction. Transaction tracking circuitry 46 detects if the sampled instruction is within a transaction and if so, tracks whether the speculative updates associated with the transaction are committed and captures transaction diagnostic data (TDD) indicative of whether or not the speculative updates were committed. Thus, both instruction diagnostic data relating to a sampled instruction and transaction diagnostic data relating to the fate of a transaction containing a sampled instruction are captured.
