Title: Device client providing partitioned operating environment for Internet-accessible applications
Inventor: BAILLIE ANDREW NAIRN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2012-07-25
Abstract: Methods and systems for allowing device clients to be installed, modified, controlled, operated and updated from a remote centralized computer within the Internet cloud in a secure manner. The device client software residing on the device is minimalistic and allows the device to run local and remote applications that can be downloaded from application stores on remote servers. Each device client may allow more than one application to run within its environment and may serve to partition the device such that applications running under the device client are separated from other applications. Data transmission associated with the partitions may also be partitioned through use of different tunnels for different data services. More than one device client may be installed on a device.

Title: Screen with triangular prism array for display of three dimensional (3D) stereoscopic images
Inventor: OYENUGA ADEYINKA BADEJOKO
IPC: G02B30/30
Filed: 2012-11-30
Abstract: A screen arrangement gives a three dimensional (3D) effect from two primary images, without viewing goggles or headgear (i.e., a glasses-free, autostereoscopic type display) and using parallel light sources. The images can be duplicates (producing flat images in a three dimensional space) or two images taken using a pair of (stereo) cameras, offset from each other by a distance of 5 cm. An exaggerated three-dimensional image will consist of two images that may have a higher offset distance. This screen arrangement is obtained by a screen with vertical triangular prisms formed by placing consecutive strips at an angle of 35Â° to the surface plane, to form the corrugated (lenticular type) screen. Strips (array elements) may have widths of 0.3 mm thickness (for image viewing distances up to 2.5 metres), 0.5 mm (distances between 2.2 metres and 5 metres), or 0.8 mm for images of 4.5 to about 10 metres; longer distances require greater thicknesses. The prism screen array may be applied to billboards, CRT, LCD or mobile phone displays, virtual reality (VR) and medical image screens.

Title: Reordering access to reduce total seek time on tape media
Inventor: BUTT KEVIN DALE
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2011-08-22
Abstract: A method, system and program are disclosed for reordering User Data Segment (UDS) lists to reduce seek times when accessing data stored on tape media. A host application sends a list of UDSs to a target tape drive and requests the tape drive to reorder the list to improve performance. An ordered list of target User data Segments to retrieve from a target tape media is received. Information about the location of each UDS on the target media is processed to determine its corresponding physical position on the tape media. The resulting physical positions are then processed to generate a reordered UDS list, where the order of the User Data Segments is reordered according to their physical location on the target tape media. The reordered list of User Data Segments is then used to perform seek, reposition and read operations to read User Data Segments from the tape media.

Title: Hand held blower with heater
Inventor: COURTNEY STEPHEN BENJAMIN
IPC: A45D20/12
Filed: 2013-03-19
Abstract: A hand held appliance such as a hairdryer comprises a body 12, a fluid flow path 20 extending through the body 12 from a first fluid inlet 12a to a first fluid outlet 12b. A further primary fluid flow path 30 extends from a second fluid inlet 30a through to a second fluid outlet 40. The primary fluid flow combines with the fluid flow at or near the fluid outlet 12b of the hairdryer. A heater 46 is provided in the primary fluid flow path 30 and is inaccessible from the fluid inlet 12a. The heater is preferably also inaccessible from the second fluid inlet 30a. Fluid flowing through the primary flow path 30, drawn by the fan 160, is heated by the heater 46. It then exits the annular outlet 12b and sucks fluid through the tubular housing 18 along the fluid flow path 20 through a process of entrainment. The safety of the device is improved since foreign objects entering the fluid inlets cannot contact the heater directly.

Title: Methods of and apparatus for logging and/or comparing radio frequency spectrum data
Inventor: EDMANS MICHAEL ANDREW
IPC: G01S7/02
Filed: 2014-04-04
Abstract: Radio signals over a spectrum of radio frequencies are sampled (404) for individual time periods to provide spectrum data for each of these time periods from fractions of a second to several seconds. This is then stored in memory (406). Subsets of spectrum data for subsets of time periods is consolidated (408) by retainting peak signal strengths or signal strength integration to give consolidated spectrum data for each of the subsets The step of consolidating respective spectrum data for subsets of time periods is repeated (416, 424) for progressively larger subsets of time periods. Therefore spectrum data over hours, days or weeks may be displayed and considered in order to detect covert radio transmitters or bugs. Additionally a reference waveform may be subtracted from the sampled data, or reference spectrum from the spectrum data for each time period or subset.

Title: Apparatus and method relating to an improved mass spectrometer
Inventor: BLENKINSOPP PAUL WILLIAM MILES
IPC: H01J49/14
Filed: 2014-04-30
Abstract: The present invention relates an analytical method whereby an ionised beam of cluster ions containing between 1 and 10000 water molecules is used to bombard a sample 70 under vacuum as either a secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analysis beam, or as a sputter or water dosing beam during, or in rapid alternation with, bombardment by another beam that is acting as a SIMS analysis beam. Water-containing clusters are generated by water vapour expansion through a nozzle 10, the water vapor being ionized by an electron bombardment source 20. The ionized clusters are then accelerated by extraction optics 30, before being passed through a mass filter 40 which defines the cluster size distribution to be used. The water cluster ion source demonstrates higher yields of molecular secondary ions, thereby enhancing the chemical information obtained from the sample, as well avoiding excessive wetting or frosting of the sample surface.
