Patent GB-2459097-A (GB)
Title: Indicating secure data in a display of secure and non-secure data
Inventor: HARRIS PETER WILLIAM
IPC: G06F21/74
Filed: 2008-04-08
Abstract: The invention provides a system for displaying secure data to a user in a way that is difficult to spoof and that is easy for a user to recognise. Data received from secure processes and untrusted processes are stored in at least one display buffer as an array of display elements for subsequent display, the elements comprising secure display elements and non-secure display elements respectively. In normal operation both secure and non-secure elements are displayed on screen (fig. 5A). When a secure user input is received, e.g. through the pressing of a security button 72, the secure and the non-secure display elements are transformed differently to each other, for example the non-secure display elements maybe transformed to display black while the secure display elements remain unchanged (fig. 5B), or they may be tinted in different colours, or the non-secure display elements may be prevented from being output for display. The transformation(s) enable the user to clearly identify the secure data on screen. The secure user input is not accessible to the untrusted processes. The secure and non-secure display elements may be stored in a single display buffer with associated security indications, or they may be stored in separate secure and non-secure display buffers.

Title: Discharge valve for powder-type fire extinguisher
Inventor: CARR ROGER
IPC: A62C13/68
Filed: 2008-06-27
Abstract: A discharge valve comprises a reversibly deformable element 38 responsive to pressure of gas from the gas canister so as to expand. In particular the discharge valve is used in a fire extinguisher of the powder type comprising a powder-containing chamber 12 communicating with a discharge path 22, 52 leading to an outlet nozzle, a gas canister 16)and a discharge valve 20, wherein the discharge valve comprises a reversibly deformable element 38 responsive to pressure of gas from the gas canister so as to expand and temporarily block the discharge path 22, 52. In this way, sufficient time is allowed for fluidisation of powder within the chamber by the gas before discharge from the extinguisher occurs. The reversibly deformable element is responsive to gas pressures in the range 750-600psi, more preferably 750-650psi. The discharge valve further comprises a flap valve 30, 34 in communication with both the reversibly deformable element to allow gas pressure to act on is the element, and with the chamber. As gas passes through the flap valve, movement of the flap valve occurs producing a mechanical agitation of powder within the chamber, as well as agitation by flow of gas.

Title: Data rate adaptation based on comparison of input and output data rates
Inventor: YOUNG KL LEE
IPC: H04N21/2662
Filed: 2008-08-20
Abstract: An Internet network apparatus (100) and a method of transferring data are provided. An encoder (110) encodes source data and then generates communication unit input data. A communication unit (120) sequentially transmits the communication unit input data to a client via layerss of the TCP/IP protocol (121-124). A transmission rate determination unit compares the communication unit input data with communication unit output data for at least one client (200,210). A transmission rate controlling unit (140) controls the encoder in response to a comparison result of the transmission rate determination unit. The encoder can be controlled to alter data resolution, frame rate (in the case of image data) or bit rate. The transmission rate can be correctly determined so as to effectively transmit data to a plurality of clients. The output data rate can be determined at the transport layer level, e.g. from the transport layer header, or from occupancy of a ring buffer used to store output data (fig.6, not shown).
Patent GB-2450069-A (GB)
Title: Nanopre platforms for ion channel recordings and single morecule detection and analysis
Inventor: WHITE HENRY S
IPC: G01N27/333
Filed: 2007-05-04
Abstract: Chemical modification of a glass and fused silica nanopore surfaces results in surface properties that are ideal for localized bilayer formation over a nanopore and subsequent ion channel recording. With no surface modification, one may form a bilayer supported on the glass capillary extending across the nanopore orifice. Changing the surface properties from that of bare glass to a moderately hydrophobic surface produces a lipid monolayer above the glass and spontaneously yields a bilayer across the nanopore orifice, effectively corralling a single protein ion channel in the lipid bilayer region spanning nanopore orifice. The bilayer structure over the modified nanopore is such that current can only flow through the protein ion channel. The protein ion channel is able to diffuse in the bilayer above the pore opening, but cannot leave this area to enter the lipid monolayer. The bilayer formed across the nanopore orifice exhibits high electrical breakdown voltage, is stable to mechanical vibrations, and is long lived. Resistance through the protein channel can be measured electrically and is exploited for stochastic single-molecule detection. Protein ion channels can be inserted and removed from the bilayer by adjusting transmembrane pressure, and adapter molecules can be electrostatically trapped in the ion channel by applying high transmembrane voltages.
