Filed: 2013-01-10
Abstract: A determination is made of a unit of data, or track, to demote, castout, destage, writeback or evict from a first cache to a second cache, wherein the track in the first cache corresponds to a track in a storage system and is comprised of a plurality of sectors. In response to determining that the second cache includes the stale version of the track being demoted from the first cache, a determination is made as to whether the stale version of the track includes track sectors not included in the track being demoted from the first cache (i.e. if the first cache version of the track is a partial track and the second cache version is the whole track). The sectors from the track demoted from the first cache are combined with sectors from the stale version of the track not included in the track being demoted from the first cache into a new version of the track. The new version of the track is written to the second cache.

Title: Interference mitigation
Inventor: GAFFNEY BRIAN
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2013-12-02
Abstract: The invention proposes inserting a narrow band signal comprising a pulse train into the nulled carriers providing a guard band at the edge of OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplex) or similar channels. The narrow band signal may be low rate and may be utilised for M2M (machine to machine) communications in an IoT (internet of things) context. The narrow band signal minimises interference with the OFDM signal by being circulant. That is, the signal waveform is constructed such that the amplitude at the start and end of the OFDM symbol period/FFT sampling window (y-1 and y0, y1 and y2, y3 and y4) is the same.

Title: Scheduling traffic in a telecommunications network
Inventor: ANDREA CELLETTI
IPC: H04L45/125
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: Determining an optimal schedule for transmitting network operator data from a source node to a destination node in a telecommunications network involves taking account of network utilisation by network customer traffic. The source node is connected to a plurality of egress links. A schedule generator generates a plurality of candidate schedules for each egress link of the source node by: selecting a first window of time, determining a highest throughput route starting at the egress link during the first window of time based on predicted link utilisations by customer traffic, and if the throughput of the highest throughput route is not sufficient to transport all the data during the first window of time, determining how much data can be sent in the first time window and then repeating the procedure for subsequent time windows until all the data can be sent. This procedure is repeated for each candidate schedule and the best schedule is selected for the transmission.

Title: Air ejection device comprising an aerodynamic profile provided with a slot obturating flexible tongue
Inventor: GUILLEMAUT JULIEN
IPC: F15D1/12
Filed: 2014-12-03
Abstract: An air ejection device comprising a profile provided with a slot 36 and which comprises an ejection nozzle 42. The device comprises a flexible tongue 48 fixed in the continuity of the profile, in such a way as to obstruct the slot where the tongue is able to lift under the effect of a pressure differential between the air situated in the ejection nozzle and the outside air. The tongue makes it possible for the slot made in the profile to be obstructed during phases of flight during which the ejection of the air is unnecessary, and to prevent external air from entering said slot. The flow of air over the aerodynamic profile is unaffected and there is no increase in drag. Because the tongue lifts as a result of a pressure differential, it does not require any control mechanism for lifting it.
