Title: Software duplication
Inventor: CHRISTMAS WALTER P
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2007-01-19
Abstract: Software duplication system (100) having an active processing system (104a) comprising a processor (112) and a memory system (108) having at least one memory area (120a-y), a duplication system (128) and a standby processing system (104b-n) operable to perform the functions of the active processing system (104a). The duplication system (128) is operable to set a number of memory areas (120a-y) to a read-only state. In response to an attempt to write to these memory areas (120a-y) a notification that a write fault has occurred is produced. The state of the selected memory areas (120a-y) is changed to a writeable state and at least some of the alterations to the selected memory areas (120a-y) are provided to the standby processing system (120a-y) which then replicates the changes in appropriate locations in its memory. This way write faults are used to track memory areas that have been changed by an application processes (116a-y) in the active processor (104a) during a selected interval.

Title: Plant mitochondrial transformation method
Inventor: MALCUIT ISABELLE
IPC: C07K14/195
Filed: 2008-11-25
Abstract: A method for transforming a plant cell comprises introducing a first nucleic acid comprising a nuclear promoter linked to a plant mitochondrion transgene cassette, a primer binding domain, and a specific sequence recognised by an RNA binding protein, a second nucleic acid encoding an RNA binding protein which binds the specific sequence of the first nucleic acid, fused to a mitochondrial transit peptide, under the control of a nuclear promoter, and a third nucleic acid encoding a reverse transcriptase fused to a mitochondrial transit peptide under the control of a nuclear promoter. The RNA transcript expressed from the first nucleic acid binds to the RNA-binding fusion protein encoded by the second nucleic acid in the cytoplasm, and the protein/RNA complex is imported into the mitochondria by the mitochondrial transit peptide fusion protein. It is then reverse transcribed into DNA by the mitochondrion-targeted reverse transcriptase encoded by the third nucleic acid, using the primer-binding domain of the RNA transcript. The method may be used to introduce a gene conferring cytoplasmic male sterility, such as the petunia PCF gene. The RNA binding protein is preferably a Lactococcus lactis L1.1trA protein, while the sequence that it binds is preferably a Lactococcus lactis L1.1trB group II intron.

Title: Rapid inversion of electromagnetic reconnaissance survey data
Inventor: JING CHARLIE
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2007-07-30
Abstract: Method for rapid inversion of data from a controlled-source electromagnetic survey of a subterranean region. Selected (51) common-receiver or common-source gathers of the data are reformed into composite gathers (52) by summing their data. Each composite gather is forward modeled (in the inversion process) with multiple active source locations (53). Computer time is reduced in proportion to the ratio of the total number of composite gathers to the total number of original common-receiver or common-source gathers. The data may be phase encoded to prevent data cancellation. Methods for mitigating loss of far offset information by data overlap in the summing process are disclosed.

Title: Hydropower generation from ocean currents
Inventor: VAZ GUY ANDREW
IPC: F03B13/26
Filed: 2009-06-11
Abstract: Apparatus for generating power comprises an open unit 6 through which a first fluid is permitted to flow, and a second, closed, unit 57-71 filled with a second fluid. Flow of the first fluid through the first unit drives the flow of the second fluid within the second unit, which drives a turbine 62. Water flow 53 can be diverted by a concave scoop 82 into chambers 57, 69, each having a balloon-like flexible barrier 59,70 that separates the two fluids. The relative volumes of the chambers can be changed in turn, controlled by a multi-flow valve (fig 3, 45-48) that alternately block channels (fig 3, 41-44) to direct fluid in and out of the balloons. Turbine 62 can be a high-volume slow-turning turbine and drive another faster-turning turbine 63 by gears which can drive electrical generator 90, connected to the closed unit by tubes 64, 65. The apparatus can be deployed underwater and be used to harness a subsea hydropower source such as the Gulf Stream. Maintenance and cleaning are minimised because seawater cannot infiltrate sensitive parts of the apparatus which are only exposed to the second fluid, which can be a hydraulic fluid having lubricating, cleaning and ant-freeze properties.

Abstract: 919,997. Mounting bearings. REICH, W., [trading as REICH MASCHINENFABRIK, WILHELM]. March 20, 1961 [March 19, 1960], No. 10009/61. Class 12 (1). [Also in Group XXX] A mounting for a bearing track for a heavy revolving machine part comprises a number of beams 1 which form a circular or polygonal framework, the top flanges of which are coated with a layer of hardening impregnated plastics embedding material 4. Mounting plates 2 for the bearing track are secured by bolts 6 to the underside of a levelling-ring 5 which is accurately finished on both outer faces. Before the embedding material sets the mounting plates on the levelling ring are pressed into said material which then sets with the plates in situ. Excess embedding material is removed and the mounting plates are permanently secured to the support beams by welding. The levelling ring is then removed for subsequent re-use and the mounting plates and frame support drilled for the securing bolts for the bearing track. The finished mounting provides an accurately levelled surface for locating the bearing track.

A hydraulic motor comprises a shaft 75, two sets of cylinders 111, 112 disposed radially in relation to the shaft, each cylinder of the one set being paired with a cylinder of the other set, two cams 76, 77 on the shaft, one coacting with and driven by pistons 78 in the cylinders 112 and the other coacting with and driven by pistons 79 in the cylinders 111, the two cams being of the same shape but being disposed in antiphase on the shaft, a set of reciprocating control valves 80 each coacting with a cylinder 112 and its paired cylinder 111 and arranged, as it is reciprocated, alternately to connect said cylinders one to a pressure inlet and the other to an exhaust outlet, mechanism driven by the shaft for imparting forward strokes to the valves in succession and springs for imparting return strokes to the valves, the valves co-operating with the cylinders so that at all times they connect to pressure those cylinders in which the pistons are moving inwards and to exhaust those cylinders in which the pistons are moving outwards. The valve driving mechanism comprises a swash plate 182 mounted on and driven by the shaft 75. The valves 80 are reciprocably mounted in ported sleeves 107 and are held in contact with the swash plate 182 by springs 81. Annular grooves 106, 105 are formed between the cylinder body portion and an end cover 100 and are connected to inlet and outlet ports 103, 102 respectively and by longitudinal ducts to ports 117, 118 respectively in the sleeve 107, Fig. 7, which communicate with annular ports 121, 126 respectively in the valve 80, each of which ports, being either a pressure or an exhaust port depending on the connections to ports 102, 103, communicates first with one cylinder then with the other to supply and exhaust the cylinders 111, 112. By reversing the connections to ports 102, 103 the motor may be reversed. A further groove 128 between the cover 100 and cylinder block is connected to spring chambers 127 and through a spring-loaded non-return valve 129 to discharge outlet 132. The valve 129 maintains a back pressure of leakage liquid behind the valves 80. The valves 80 may be disposed radially and be operated by a cam. In a modification the swash plate 182 is adjustable in order to reverse the motor. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 673,375.
