Title: A Method of FIFO Tag Switching in a Multi-core Packet Processing Apparatus
Inventor: ZHI LINGYUN
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2011-04-14
Abstract: Processing a stream of packets using a multi-core processor with a packet order enforcement (POE) module. Each core issues a Get_ packet command to the POE module which selects, such as by strict priority or weighted round robin, packets to be processed by each core. Each core retrieves and processes the packet. Once processing is completed each cores will issue a tag switch command to the POE module and then execute other service procedures. The POE module performs the tag switching commands sent by each core in First-In First-Out (FIFO) order such that only tag switch commands for the packet at the head of the queue are performed (at time T6) others are held pending. Once tag switching has been performed the method repeats for processing in subsequent cores until all processing for the packet is completed wherein the packet is output and the tag may be deleted.

Title: Heating system energy saving device
Inventor: ELKAR KENNETH JENKINSON MEADOWS D
IPC: F23N5/00
Filed: 2011-04-26
Abstract: The device reduces the amount of fuel used by a heater of a heating system by delaying a signal from a temperature sensing control device, such as a thermostat, to the heater. Any residual heat of the heater is thereby dissipated before the heater is activated by the thermostat. The device may be powered by mains electricity and include a multiple digit display 22 that indicates the number of heating cycles undertaken by the heater. Light emitting diodes may be used to give operational information about the device, with LED 12 indicating the device has power, LED 16 indicating when the device is delaying activation of the heater, and LED 27 flashing to indicate normal operation of the heater. The device may include an electrical inlet plug 1 and electrical outlet socket 2 wherein, in use, the plug receives wiring of the thermostat and the socket is connected to wiring of the heater. The device may include a microprocessor system monitor in combination with an audible alarm that sounds if the device is at fault so that wiring of the thermostat and heater may be disconnected from the plug and socket respectively and connected to one another to bypass the device.

Title: Detection of spoofing of remote client system information
Inventor: GEHRIG JNR ALFRED P
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2011-05-17
Abstract: Digital fingerprint generation logic executed by a client device includes quirk-exposing logic configured to expose behavioral differences between various system configurations of client devices. The digital fingerprint generation logic queries a remote client device for system configuration, and generates a digital fingerprint of the client device that includes a system configuration characteristic reported by the client device in response to the query. Results of execution of the quirk-exposing logic are compared to expected results that are specific to the reported system configuration. If the results of execution do not match the expected results, the digital fingerprint is determined to have been spoofed. The arrangement allows, for example, for spoofing of particular browsers to be detected by the known discrepancies between, and quirks of, particular browsers, i.e. cross-browser discrepancies. As an example the client may be requested to evaluate a mathematical expression and an expected result may be a numerical value to a particular number of decimal places in accuracy. Discrepancies between the number of decimal places to which particular browsers operate or generate mathematical constants may be used to detect spoofing but many other discrepancies may be used.

Title: Methods for setting parameter values through radial input gestures
Inventor: MUNTER AARON
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2011-12-01
Abstract: A computerized device can comprise a touch-enabled surface 104 and a data processing hardware element configured by a gesture input engine to recognize an input gesture 106 using data from the touch-enabled surface. A parameter value (e.g. volume, gain, colour or hue) can be set based on determining a path traversed by the input gesture (e.g. a number of input points) based the percentage of a curve or closed path traversed or based on an arc (identified in respect to a number of input points) and a radial distance of the arc from an anchor point . The data processing element can comprise a processor and the gesture input engine can comprise program logic in a memory device and/or the engine may be implemented using hardware logic. Regardless, the radial input gesture can be used to set one or more parameter values without use of a direct mapping of interface coordinates to parameter values. A method can comprise tracking a plurality of input points, identifying a path defined by the plurality of input points, identifying a closed curve including the path, determining a percentage of the curve traversed by the path, and setting a parameter value based on the percentage.

Title: Cooling system for an internal combustion engine
Inventor: BILANCIA MICHELE
IPC: F01P7/16
Filed: 2013-10-14
Abstract: The cooling system 1 is for an internal combustion engine having an engine block 120, cylinder head 130 and integrated exhaust manifold (IEM) 225. The system uses a coolant, preferably water, and includes a radiator 2 that exchanges heat between air and the coolant, a coolant pump 3 to force the coolant around the system via fluid connection branches (i.e. conduits) 10-20 and first 4, second 5 and third 6 control valves. The pump delivers coolant to each of the engine block, cylinder head and IEM via respective conduits. The third control valve intercepts coolant from the IEM, the second control valve intercepts coolant from the engine block and the first control valve, which is preferably a three-way valve, receives coolant from the cylinder head and second and third control valves. The first control valve directs coolant to the radiator and/or directly to the pump. The system can facilitate rapid engine warm-up by closing the second and third valves so coolant flows only to the cylinder head and by directing coolant from the first control valve directly to the pump, bypassing the radiator. An electric heater (8, figure 4) and an oil heat exchanger (7, figure 4) may be included.
