Title: Renewable energy sharecropping meter system
Inventor: HAMBLETT SIMON EDWARD
IPC: G06Q50/06
Filed: 2012-01-23
Abstract: The application relates to the principal of sharecropping applied to the renewable energy marketplace and is embodied in the form of a metering system. The system comprises a meter device 5 and remote database 3. The remote database 3 stores, in a user account, information of units produced from a micro-generating plot of a commercial renewable energy resource. The meter 5 accesses the account on the remote database following authentication using chip and pin card 1, and subtracts units of electricity used from the stored renewable energy units, or counts units used when the database account balance has reached zero (or the use of the meter is outside terms and conditions). The application proposes the breaking up on an accounting basis the larger commercial installations, adding to existing installations where possible or building new ones into privately owned lots within a larger installation applying a sharecropping philosophy to a manageable commercial installation.

Title: Stacked voltage doublers fed by multiple sources
Inventor: MACDONALD-BRADLEY CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: H02M7/10
Filed: 2012-05-31
Abstract: Stacked Greinacher doubling stages are fed by multiple alternating current, or pulsed direct current, electrical sources, thereby combining their voltage and power into one direct current output. One terminal of the sources can be common and sources can be capacitively coupled at one or both terminals of each of the plural supplies. The coupling capacitor capacitance can be less than that of the capacitors in rectifier stages in series with the load. The doubling stages can be modular and cascaded or stacked in series and/or parallel arrangements. Resistors (fig 10, R1-R6) and transient suppressors (fig 10, T1-T4) may reduce damage to the plural power supplies by output shorts and arcing. The circuit may replace a Villard cascade or Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier driven by a single driver source and be used with an electrostatic accelerator.

Title: Electricity generation apparatus having a thermal store and thermoelectric heat exchanger
Inventor: AL-HORR YOUSEF
IPC: F28D20/02
Filed: 2012-07-18
Abstract: The electricity generation apparatus comprises: a thermal energy storage material 2, ideally a phase change material (PCM) including heat pipes 6 embedded therein; and a thermoelectric heat exchanger 1 arranged to absorb heat energy and output an electrical current. The PCM absorbs heat energy from a heat source when exposed to a first condition and releases the absorbed heat energy when exposed to a second condition. The thermoelectric heat exchanger absorbs heat energy from the heat source in the first condition and from the PCM in the second condition. The heat source may be the sun and the apparatus may comprise a heat absorbent layer 5, which may be a photovoltaic. In the first condition the sun heats the absorbent layer, thereby generating a temperature differential between the thermoelectric heat exchanger and the PCM. When the sun sets, the absorbent layer cools and the PCM becomes the hottest layer. An electric inverting circuit 4 may be used to the direction of current is the same for the first and second condition. The apparatus may include an insulation layer 3 to prevent thermal losses from the PCM.

Title: Monitoring geofence exit
Inventor: GROSMAN YEFIM
IPC: H04W48/16
Filed: 2012-05-15
Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for monitoring geofence exits using wireless access points are disclosed. In general, in one aspect, a mobile device can detect one or more entry gateways that are wireless access points selected for monitoring a geofence. The mobile device can determine that the mobile device is located in the geofence based on the detection. The mobile device can monitor the entry gateways and one or more exit gateways, which can be wireless access points observable by the mobile device when the mobile device is in the geofence. When the mobile device determines, after a number of scans using a wireless processor, that the entry gateways and exit gateways are unobservable, the mobile device can use an application processor to determine whether the mobile device has exited from the geofence.

Title: Fingerprint-based data deduplication
Inventor: YAKUSHEV MARK
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2012-11-15
Abstract: Storage objects that are backed up in a computing environment are often compound storage objects which include many individual storage objects. The computing device of the computing environment breaks the storage objects into chunks of data by determining a hash value on a range of data. The computing device creates an artificial chunk boundary when the end of data of the storage object is reached. When an artificial chunk boundary is created for the end of data of a storage object, the computing device stores a pseudo fingerprint for the artificial chunk boundary. If a hash value matches a fingerprint or a pseudo fingerprint, then the computing device determines that the range of data corresponds to a chunk and the computing system defines the chunk boundaries. The pseudo fingerprint of the artifical chunk boundary allows for recognition of an artificial chunk boundary within a compound file. Redundant data is elimated during deduplication more efficiently based on the pseudo fingerprints stored on a pseudo fingerprint list.
