Title: Dynamic subscriber identity module
Inventor: Jagannath Ghoshal
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2016-01-13
Abstract: A method provides dynamically changing a mobile communication device by communicative coupling with a dynamic subscriber identity module (SIM). The method comprises identifying, via a communication transceiver, a mobile communication network that corresponds with one carrier sub-partition of a carrier partition of the mobile communication device. The method polls an identification of an active carrier applet from the dynamic SIM, one carrier applet of a plurality being the active carrier applet. Responsive to a trigger event, one carrier sub-partition changes dynamically to another carrier sub-partition, each corresponding with a different wireless communication identity. The corresponding wireless communication identity is activated based on confirming the identification of the active carrier applet is associated with the corresponding wireless communication identity. The mobile communication device conducts wireless communication coupling based on the activated corresponding wireless communication identity and active carrier applet of the dynamic SIM.

Title: A bistable electrical switching device
Inventor: PATRICK WARD
IPC: H01H71/50
Filed: 2017-08-08
Abstract: A bistable electrical switching device 1 comprises a support element 4 housing a first electrical contact 3, a movable contact 2, and a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism comprises a carrier 11 for the movable contact that moves relative to the support, a closing actuator 20 coupled to the carrier and causing it to move between a first (open) position to a second (closed) position, and a latch 14 which is connected to the carrier and engages the support to maintain the carrier in the second position (see figure 2). The carrier is biased to the open state by being resiliently connected to the supporting element. A release mechanism 40 is actuated to disengage the latch from the supporting element so that it returns to the first position (see figure 3). An auxiliary contact (50, figures 4-6) may be provided, which is moved by an auxiliary actuator 60 to a closed state in which it provides a parallel conductive path between the first contact and moving contact. The auxiliary contact may be connected to the movable contact via a flexible conducting element 53 and may be arranged to couple with the first contact. The latching mechanism can thus be tested without interrupting current to a load.

Title: Controlling use of data determined by a resolve-pending speculative operation
Inventor: ALASTAIR DAVID REID
IPC: G06F21/57
Filed: 2019-01-11
Abstract: Identifying whether data is trusted or not by identifying if the data was determined by a speculatively executed resolve-pending operation. The system receives data that has been output by an operation 201, then asks if the data has been derived by an operation using untrusted data 203. If it has the data is identified as being untrusted 209. If not, it asks if the data has been output by a speculatively resolve-pending operation 205. If it has, it identifies the data as being untrusted, and if it has not it identifies the data as being trusted 207. If the data is untrusted it can also control how that data can be used in respect of a further operation according to a security policy while the speculatively executed operation is still resolve-pending. The security policy may be based on whether the further operation would update the state of a cache, the type of operation, or a trust flag of the operation.

Title: Gas turbine engine shaft break mitigation
Inventor: NATALIE WONG
IPC: F01D21/02
Filed: 2019-02-04
Abstract: A method of controlling a gas turbine engine comprises detecting a shaft break event 203, and activating a mitigation system 204 which introduces a fluid into a gas flow of the gas turbine engine downstream of the turbine, or increases an amount of a fluid being provided into the gas flow of the gas turbine engine downstream of the turbine. This reduces an effective area of a nozzle for the gas flow to increase back pressure (exhaust pressure) and therefore reduce the mass flow rate of the gas flow through the turbine. The fluid may be reheat (afterburner) fuel provided to spray nozzles of a reheat system. The system may also predict a shaft break event, and prime the mitigation system in advance, to allow faster response following shaft disconnection.
