Title: Architecture and protocol for extensible and scalable communication
Inventor: KACIN MARTIN
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2008-09-08
Abstract: A system performs information technology (IT) tasks using a computer. Examples of IT tasks include installing or configuring software, displaying alerts, executing programs or scripts on the endpoint, or logging activities. In an embodiment of the system, a connection initialization module receives a request for a persistent connection over a network from a managed endpoint. The request is accepted and a persistent connection is opened with the managed endpoint. A tier-1 module then receives configuration information from the managed endpoint over the persistent connection. The configuration information includes a list of functional plugins on the managed endpoint, where a functional plugin comprises a software module for performing an IT task. The tier-1 module stores this configuration information along with information describing the persistent connection and maintains the persistent connection in an open state.

Title: Determining soot rate in an exhaust by measuring its oxygen concentration
Inventor: GUGLIELMONE FEDERICO LUIGI
IPC: F01N9/00
Filed: 2010-03-29
Abstract: A method for determining the soot rate Se in an exhaust stream based on measuring the oxygen concentration value As in the exhaust stream. Preferably the estimation of the soot rate comprises determining a soot rate reference value Sr, determining a correction Cf on the base of the oxygen concentration value and applying the correction to the soot rate reference value. The correction may be determined by determining a reference value Ar of the oxygen concentration in the exhaust stream, calculating the difference Ae between it and the oxygen concentration value and determining the correction on the base of the oxygen concentration value and its difference. Preferably the soot rate reference value, the correction and the oxygen concentration reference value are determined from an empirically determined data set, where the correction is correlated to the oxygen concentration value and its difference and the soot rate reference value and the oxygen concentration reference value are correlated to one or more engine operating parameters. The oxygen concentration value may be measure by a lambda sensor. A method for managing and regenerating a DPF is also claimed.

Title: Mass rotating with changing radius to produce non-constant centripetal force
Inventor: BIRD DEREK EDWARD
IPC: F03G3/00
Filed: 2012-01-11
Abstract: A mass 11 is caused to orbit an action centre 1 at constant linear orbital speed but at a continuously varying radius and therefore angular velocity. The varying radius of rotation is achieved by a rotator slider 9 and a slider 10 which are arranged to create a gearing mechanism, slider/rotator 9 1:4, between fast and slow displacement; modified into 1:2 as required by additional slider 10. These ratios are governed by the length and position of attachments 4, 7 to rotator arms 5, 7 relative to the centres of said rotator sliders. The varying orbit results in non-constant centripetal force, manipulated to produce uni-directional    pulses    of force, intended to provide propulsion. Two or more units may be provided for balancing, and so that there is one unit in each part of the rotary cycle at any point in time.

Title: Positioning a coarse actuator of compound actuator tape servo system at midpoint of maximum peaks of lateral tape movement
Inventor: HANCOCK REED ALAN
IPC: G11B5/584
Filed: 2011-02-18
Abstract: Where a tape is subject to lateral shift excursions from one side of a head to another, a coarse actuator is positioned laterally to enable a fine actuator to follow lateral motion of a longitudinal tape having at least one longitudinal defined servo track. A position error signal loop is configured to sense servo sensor(s) and to determine position error between the head and a desired position related to the defined servo track(s). A servo control senses the lateral shift excursion of the defined servo track(s); determines a maximum positive peak and a maximum negative peak of the lateral shift excursion; and positions the coarse actuator substantially at a midpoint of the maximum positive peak and the maximum negative peak of lateral shift excursion of the defined servo track(s). Thus, the fine actuator follows the lateral shift excursion, while the coarse actuator remains at the midpoint.
