Title: Virtual bands concentration for self encrypting drives
Inventor: WERNER JEREMY
IPC: G06F21/80
Filed: 2014-08-27
Abstract: An apparatus comprises a storage device 102 and a host device 105. The storage device is configured to encrypt and decrypt user data during write and read operations, respectively. The host device is configured to communicatively couple to the storage device, and to execute the write and read operations by concentrating a first number of virtual bands into a smaller second number of real bands. The host device may comprise a virtual machine manager 120, which may comprise one or more virtual band managers 122, which may map a number of virtual bands to one or more real bands. The bands may be data bands comprising logical block address ranges. The storage device may comprise a band manager 110 configured to store key material 114. A media encryption key for each real data band may be generated by wrapping an authentication key 104 with the corresponding key material (341 in Figure 3). The invention facilitates the alleviation of band limitation issues for a self encrypting drive in an environment hosting many virtual machines.

Title: A method for controlling a byte code transformer on detection of completion of an asynchronous command
Inventor: ROSS MARTIN ANDREW
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2014-09-25
Abstract: A byte code transformer 205 typically for instrumentation of Java (RTM) bytecode is modified on completion of an asynchronous command, e.g. an instruction to start an application. The command is received, by an asynchronous command manager 202, from a test framework 235. The manager issues the command to an application 225 (310, fig. 3B). A byte code transformer 205 is loaded (315, fig. 3B), for transforming byte code associated with the application, in order to output (to log or to trace) one or more method names and associated timestamps for the method entry and exit points (fig. 6B). A checking routine (320, fig. 3B) checks whether an expected result has been generated by the application, e.g. a port has been opened or a log entry generated. If an expected result has been generated then a time period associated with the generation is compared with the timestamps in order to determine matching timestamps and associated matching method names. The transformer is modified in accordance with the matching method names such that subsequent iterations of the transformation execute on byte code associated only with matching method names: normally a subset of method names from the previous iteration.

Title: System and method for security-aware master
Inventor: GRAFTON RICHARD F
IPC: G06F21/74
Filed: 2015-03-04
Abstract: A system 10 includes a system interconnect 40; one or more masters 20 coupled with the system interconnect; and a master security check register (52) coupled with the system interconnect. The master security check register (52) is configured to receive a request from a master 20 via the system interconnect 40 to access the master security check register, wherein the request includes a master operating state signal that indicates a security state of the master requesting access. A data value is returned to the master based on the master operating state signal, wherein the data value indicates a current security state of the master requesting access. The state signal may indicate a secure state or a non-secure state. The system interconnect 40 may facilitate communication between the master 20 and a slave 30. No error signal may be generated when the master is operating in a non-secure state. The system may therefore provide a security-aware master, such that a master can determine its security state before attempting access to secure resources or before requesting secure access level.

Title: High voltage direct current switchgear
Inventor: CHANDRA MOHAN SONNATHI
IPC: H02J3/36
Filed: 2016-04-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the operation of HVDC switchgear, where the switchgear provides electrical isolation through the use of a breaker in the event of a fault, such as a single phase to ground fault which can cause delayed zero crossing or no zero crossing at all in the phased power supply. The HVDC switchgear comprises a breaker for each phase of the AC power line. The method involves receiving a signal identifying a fault 200, identifying which AC phase will experience a zero crossing of current 202 through the use of a current sensor for example, opening the breaker of the identified AC phase 204 when at a zero crossing of current. By doing this the current flowing in the other phases will also have zero crossings and commands to open the circuit breakers on the other phase AC lines can be transmitted after a time delay 206 to stop the current flowing in all the AC phases.
