Title: Headlight system incorporating adaptive beam function
Inventor: SUCKLING JAMES ROWLAND
IPC: B60Q1/04
Filed: 2012-07-26
Abstract: A light source system comprising a projection lens, which is capable of producing a far-field image of a light source. The light source comprises a photoluminescent material that when illuminated by light from laser emitters of a first waveband emits light of a second or more wavebands of longer wavelength. The resulting light emission produces a colour perceived as white. The light source is illuminated by a plurality of laser emitters arranged to illuminate the light source in an array-like manner from the front side. Control of the output of one or more of the laser emitters results in a variation of the spatial emission distribution from the light source and hence a variation of the far-field beam spot distribution via non-mechanical means. An optical system is arranged to image light emitted from the photoluminescent material into the far-field, which optical system comprises a converging lens.

Title: Method and system for monitoring of a shared hardware resource
Inventor: BUENDGEN REINHARD
IPC: G06F11/30
Filed: 2014-01-10
Abstract: A method for monitoring of a shared hardware resource (100) in a computer system (1) running at least two partitions (P1, P2, ..., Pn) comprising the steps of: collecting measurement data from the hardware resource (100); computing an aggregation of the measurement data over a certain time interval; using a workload dependent heuristic to calculate a noise level value adapted to a workload; generating noise data based on the noise level value; confounding the computed aggregation of measurement data with the generated noise data; and outputting the confounded measurement data to an external interface (220) for monitoring. The shared hardware resource may be a cryptographic adapter or cryptographic engine which handles sensitive or private information. A noise information repository (310) accessible from a measurement component (200) and a noise data generator (300) stores noise data or noise level values as noise information computed by the noise data generator (300). The measurement component (200) may be shielded from external access except through the confounded measurement data available via the external interface (220). The invention seeks to prevent the leakage of usage data between partitions. In particular it prevents usage data from an individual partition being derivable from global performance measurement data.

Title: Dump valve
Inventor: WHYTE RONALD NORRIS
IPC: E21B34/04
Filed: 2015-01-27
Abstract: A dump valve 1 for controlling a supply of pressurised fluid to a hydraulic actuator, having a supply port 60, an actuator port 10p leading to the actuator, an exhaust port 7u, a control member 50 and a pilot port 20p for supplying a control fluid to the control member. The control member shuttles between the supply and vent positions by a pressure differential between the actuator and pilot ports, which are spaced apart. The pilot/actuator pressure differential allows high pressure activation to operate the dump valve, which can therefore operate quickly. The control member is biased toward a vent position and the fluid pressure differential between the pilot port and the actuator port controls is balanced to control the movement of the control member in the housing.
