Title: Prioritising instructions in queues according to category of instruction
Inventor: KHOT ANAND
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2013-07-31
Abstract: A method of selecting instructions to issue to a functional unit of an out-of-order superscalar processor single-threaded or multi-threaded. A reservation station classifies each instruction into one of a number of categories based on the type of instruction. Once classified, an instruction is stored in one of several instruction queues corresponding to the category in which it was classified. Instructions are then selected from one or more of the instruction queues (up to a maximum number of instructions for each particular queue) to issue to the functional unit based on a relative priority of the plurality of types of instructions. This allows certain types of instructions (eg. control transfer instructions, flag setting instructions and/or address generation instructions) to be prioritised over other types of instructions even if they are younger. A functional unit may contain a plurality of pipelines, and there may be several such functional units in a processor.

Title: Methods of mass spectrometry comprising subjecting ions to HD exchange and conformational change
Inventor: BROWN JEFFERY MARK
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2012-07-06
Abstract: Methods of mass spectrometry are disclosed comprising subjecting biomolecular ions to Hydrogen-Deuterium exchange and causing ions to at least partially unfold or alter their conformation. The Hydrogen-Deuterium exchange may be performed either before or after ions are caused to unfold.

Title: Slag ladle for separation and recovery of molten iron from slag
Inventor: TUPKARY RAMCHANDRA HARISA
IPC: C21B3/10
Filed: 2012-09-27
Abstract: An apparatus for separation and recovery of a molten metal (106) from a slag (108) includes a device (400) attached to a slag ladle (100). The device having a lower edge (404) and free edge (402) is fitted over a part of the slag-ladle holding the molten metal (106) and the slag. The device acts as a barrier for the flow of molten iron such that the slag is allowed to flow over the device while the molten metal is retained in the slag-ladle. The device has a sluice gate (406) and a chute (408) for indicating the flow of the slag in the form of a pipe-like stream. A method for separation of molten metal from slag is based on the above apparatus. The device differentiates the rnomentums of flow of molten slag and molten metal during slag pouring process and prevents the flow of molten metal associated with the molten slag along with the flow of molten slag during the slag pouring process and collection process thereafter.

Title: Lithium-Sulfur battery and methods of preventing insoluble solid lithium-polysulfide deposition
Inventor: THILLAIYAN RAMANATHAN
IPC: H01M10/44
Filed: 2014-09-25
Abstract: A lithium-sulfur electrochemical cell such as a battery contains a surface-functionalized carbonaceous material. The presence of the surface-functionalized carbonaceous material generates weak chemical bonds between the functional groups of the surface-functionalized carbonaceous material and the functional groups of the polysulfides formed during discharge of the battery, which prevents the polysulfide migration to the battery anode, thereby providing a battery with relatively high energy density and good partial discharge efficiency. In one particular aspect, the cell also comprises an anode including lithium, a cathode including sulfur, a separator and a non-aqueous electrolyte, with the carbonaceous material being formed as a layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. In preferred embodiments, the carbonaceous material may be provided as a layer on the cathode and/or the separator. Preferably, the carbonaceous material is functionalized with amine and/or amide groups. A method of charging such a cell is also disclosed, the method comprising supplying electrical energy to the Li-S cell at a constant current, monitoring the voltage during charging, and terminating the charge when the monitored voltage is in the range of about 2.4 to 3.0 volts.

Title: Secure communications between a beacon and a handset
Inventor: EAMON STAFFORD
IPC: H04W4/02
Filed: 2015-03-26
Abstract: A secure communication channel between a Bluetooth (RTM) beacon and a user device (UD) is established by generating a common Diffie-Hellman (D-H) shared secret on both the UD and the beacon and thereafter using the common D-H shared secret as an encryption key in subsequent encrypted communications between the beacon and the UD. Preferably, the common D-H shared secret is verified using one or both of PKI techniques and pinning techniques. The communications may be encrypted using Elliptic Curve Cryptography. The invention enhances the functionality of beacons so that they can be used in a plethora of applications including those where sensitive information must be transmitted. An application of the present invention is the modification and individualization of tickets normally displayed on a screen of the UD.
