Title: System and method for providing data from a server to a client
Inventor: TENNANT JOSEPH A
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2009-06-06
Abstract: A method and system is provided for a server to provide data to a client. A client user requests presentation of a data file that is associated with time-to-live data and a hash. If the time-to-live data is not expired, the client presents to the user a data file stored at the client. If the time-to-live data is expired, the client requests the server to send the hash associated with the latest version of the data file stored at the server. The client determines whether the hashes match. If the hashes match, the client presents the data file stored at the client. If the hashes do not match, the client requests that the server provide the client with the latest version of the data file. After receiving the latest version of the data file, the client presents to the user the latest version of the data file.

Title: Methods and systems for stripe blind encryption
Inventor: BEAMAN PETER D
IPC: G06F11/16
Filed: 2010-02-22
Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that relate to encrypting data of a data item for storing in a data storage system comprising a plurality of disks having stripes. A blinding factor is constructed based on a stripe blind that is assigned to a stripe with which the data item is associated and a unique identifier associated with the data item. A first logic operation is performed between the blinding factor and an encryption key to create a blinded encryption key for the data item. The data item is decrypted by identifying the stripe blind with the unique identifier and recreating the data item's blinding factor based on the stripe blind and the unique identifier. A second logic operation, which is selected based on the first logic operation, is performed between the blinding factor and the blinded encryption key to recreate the encryption key.

Title: Electrical supply control device
Inventor: VOGT MATTHIAS
IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 2011-09-16
Abstract: An electrical supply control device such as a switchbox 10 monitors the current load of an electrical device such as a water pump or electrically operated valve. The current load detected is compared with normal operating parameters for the electrical device and a control module modifies or reduces the current supplied to the device when the current load detected is outside those parameters. The control module switches off a monitored device which is operating outside its normal parameters for a predetermined period of time; attempts to restart the monitored device after the predetermined time; and causes the device to operate for a period that is based upon the normal period of operation and the period for which it operated normally prior to abnormal operation. The operating period after restarting can be limited to a remainder of the normal operating time and the number of re-starts can be limited. The monitoring device can control plural loads and give an audio or visual or remote alarm upon detecting abnormal operation

Title: Tray with movable apertured plate to locate contents or allow nesting
Inventor: WHITEHEAD DAVID
IPC: B65D21/02
Filed: 2012-03-15
Abstract: A tray 1 has base 3, side walls and a plate 7 with openings 7. Plate 7 can be raised so that the apertures receive items and secure their horizontal location while base 3 supports their weight; or lowered so that multiple trays 1 can nest. In each position the plate is parallel to the base; when raised it is supported by latches 50 which retract away from the plate allowing it to lower. Ideally the latch is a tongue 51 integrally formed on the side walls. It is preferably biased 53 towards the latched position where a seat 54 engages the edge of the plate with a tab 55 for release. The plate can include tongues 72 adjacent the openings to better secure items. Ideally as a further tray is placed on top of the first tray it actuates the latch to lower the plate.

Title: Trigger parameter determination in Secure User Plane Location (SUPL)
Inventor: BUSIN A KE
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2008-04-07
Abstract: The invention relates to methods and apparatus for enabling optimization of trigger parameters related to an area event triggered session between a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) enabled terminal (SET) (22, 302) and a SUPL supported location server (20.306). Based on detected changed of terminal conditions (step 204), trigger parameters for the area event trigger are updated (step 208). This allows for a dynamic adoption of the area event triggered parameters to changes of for instance the power status of the terminal of the set of possible positioning methods.

Title: Fixing a subset of the tap coefficients in a FIR adaptive equaliser for a tape drive
Inventor: HUTCHINS ROBERT ALLEN
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2012-08-09
Abstract: The adaptive equaliser in the read channel of a tape drive may not always converge to the best configuration. Convergence to a set of tap coefficients giving a good signal-to-noise ratio is more likely if a small set of selected adjacent taps, for example four of seventeen taps, are fixed at the outset rather than being adaptive in operation. Initial tap values are determined during an initial calibration and a waveform 502 is then derived by convolving an interpolated (upsampled) version 500 of the equalisers    impulse response with a sinc function. Those taps closest to the waveform lobe or lobes having the largest area are fixed and the other taps remain adaptive in operation. Initial calibration may involve adapting the equaliser while reading calibration data or simply setting the tap coefficients to values read from the tape or another location.

Title: Thermal energy plant for utilising waste from the tanning process
Inventor: BOWDEN WARREN BRIAN
IPC: A62D3/20
Filed: 2013-02-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods or processes for utilising the waste streams from leather processing to produce energy by pyrolysing or gasifying the waste. It also relates to a system, in the form of a thermal energy plant which converts a portion of tannery waste to heat energy. In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a cyclical process whereby a portion of the waste effluent from leather manufacturing is converted to energy which can then be used in the leather making process. The thermal energy plant is closely associated with, and located near to, leather processing plants. This reduces the amount of carbon fuel required in the leather manufacturing process resulting in the production of leather which has used less carbon/fossil fuel in its manufacture than is used currently in leather production.Figure 4

Title: Improved electrical switching apparatus with switch-on prediction
Inventor: HALFPENNY JOHN
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 2013-06-18
Abstract: An electrical apparatus comprises: an electrical inlet 1 supplying energy to an electrical outlet 5 via a controller 13. The controller 13 includes: electrical switching means 4, to connect or disconnect the electrical inlet 1 from the electrical outlet 5; a power supply 14 which is charged from the electrical inlet 1, a means of measuring ambient light levels 9 - 12 and timing function means. The controller 13, when in operation, detects bright and dark light level periods and records their transition times and from this it predicts future start or stop times of one or more electrical devices and then it provides actuation control to connect or disconnect the electrical inlet 1 to the electrical outlet 5 according to the predicted start or stop times. The predicted start or stop times may be adjusted according to pre-set or calculated time offsets which take into account the warm-up time or some other operational transient characteristics associated with certain electrical appliances being controlled, for example: a hot water dispenser. The switching means 4 may be a relay or a TRIAC. Appliances connected to the apparatus may be turned off at night and back on in the morning, to save energy, whilst ensuring that the operational status of the device is achieved at the desired start time.
