Patent GB-2432469-A (GB)
Title: A Switch Circuit
Inventor: MAKINO JUN
IPC: H03K17/06
Filed: 2005-09-21
Abstract: A switch circuit for controlling the supply of electrical power from an electrical power source to a load includes a power supply switch comprising input, output and control terminals. The circuit further includes an electronic switching device connected to the control terminal of the power supply switch and having an activating input; a momentary switch coupled to the activating input of the electronic switching device; and a charge storage element coupled to the momentary switch. In a first mode, closing the momentary switch in excess of a triggering time charges the charge storage element and trioggers the electronic switching device to turn on the circuit to supply power to the load. In a second mode, closing the momentary switch connects the charge storage element to the electronic switching device to turn off the electronic switching device and the power supply switch, thus interrupting the supply of power to the load.

Title: A method and controller for operating gas turbine engine
Inventor: CARLSON WILLIAM
IPC: F02C9/00
Filed: 2007-04-05
Abstract: A method for operating a gas turbine engine involves running a computer dynamic model having inputs, including engine operating conditions and operating conditions of an installation (such as an aircraft) in which the engine is installed, and calculating a dynamic limit on mechanical power extraction from a shaft 18 connecting a turbine 16 of the engine to a compressor 14. Power may be extracted from the shaft at a level not exceeding the calculated dynamic limit. Air may also be bled from the compressor at a rate not exceeding a calculated dynamic limit so as to prevent a stall. A controller 24 for operating the gas turbine engine 10 includes a program which instructs the controller to run the computer dynamic model of the gas turbine engine, wherein the computer dynamic model has inputs including engine operating conditions and installation platform operating conditions. The controller also is programmed to calculate a dynamic limit on mechanical power extraction from the shaft based at least on the running of the computer dynamic model of the gas turbine engine.

Title: Database of expected application behaviours distributed to mobile devices and used for malware detection
Inventor: NIEMELA JARNO
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2008-07-14
Abstract: Mobile telecommunications devices (e.g. mobile phones) typically run only a limited number of applications. This makes it feasible to profile the behaviour of each individual application, particularly with respect to communications traffic. This profiling may be performed at a central server and then distributed to each mobile device. At each mobile device activity is monitored and compared with the profiles of applications that are running. In the event that monitored behaviour deviates from the normal behaviour profile, it is further analysed against a set of rules. These rules determine whether the anomalous behaviour indicates the presence of malware (e.g. viruses, trojans, worms, spyware etc).

Patent GB-2463800-A (GB)
Title: Providing an separate transaction queue for posted transactions determined to be interrupts received from a peripheral device.
Inventor: WHITE BRYAN R
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2009-09-30
Abstract: A method of routing interrupt transactions received in a processor complex from a peripheral device (110) comprises determining if an incoming posted transaction (one that requires no response on completion) is an interrupt transaction (130) and routing it to a first queue (140) or otherwise in which case the transaction is routed to a second queue (135). The first queue may be a dedicated portion of system memory. Preferably, by routing the interrupt transaction to the first queue (135), non interrupt posted and non-posted transactions are allowed to pass the interrupt transaction when a processor is in a low power mode. A second later posted transaction may pass the interrupt transaction but not the first posted transaction according to ordering rules. The posted transaction in the second queue may be handled whilst the interrupt transaction is stored in the first queue due to the low power state of an advanced programmable interrupt controller (APIC). The APIC may be activated when a first interrupt transaction is written to the first queue. The interrupt transaction may be a virtual legacy wire interrupt. The method is to avoid underflow conditions in the peripheral device when a portion of the processor complex is in a low power or powered off state.

Heel seats, shaping by cutting.-Detail improvements are made in machines of the kind described in Specifications 238,499 and 238,915. Thecutter grinding means are automatically adjusted in accordance with the setting of the crease-engaging members; the shoe is urged towards the crease plates while these are closed; and the solegashing knife is adjustable relatively to the presser roll, and longitudinally of its carrier bar. The handle 90, for closing the crease plates on the shoe, is linked to a lever 9 provided with a lug 11 and connected to the crease plates 62 by links 70. The adjustable plates 162, which comprise the cutter guiding slot 166, are housed in a circular recess in the plate 120, and are operated by links 2 from a lever 4 provided with a forwardly projecting adjustable stop 8 arranged in the path of the lug 11. As the plate 120 is brought forward after the crease plates have engaged the shoe, as described in Specification 238,915, the stop 8 contacts with the lug 11 and automatically adjusts the plates 162 in accordance with the setting of the crease plates. The lever 90 is also provided with an arm 13 carrying a pin urged by .a spring 17 to one end of a slot 15 in a link pivoted to a cam 19 co-operating with a roll 27 urging the last pin 42 upwards. The cam operates the roller with a rearward component, to urge the shoe upwardly and rearwardly into the grip of the crease plates. The knife 170 and presser roll 244, described in Specification 238,499, are provided with additional adjusting means. The knife bar 172 is provided with an adjustable screw 30 which acts as a stop for a screw 31 threaded through the knife carrier 230, which screw has a head engaging the hinged plate 246 to which is pivoted the presser roll 244. Locking means are provided on the screws. Modified means provide for the angular adjustment of the knife about its cutting edge. A plate 35 is interposed between the heads of the adjusting screws and the bar 172, this plate having a central longitudinal slot 34 and two transverse slots 36 at its ends. By slackening the screw 32 threaded into the knife carrier, the knife can be adjusted longitudinally without varying its angular setting; and by slackening all three screws angular and lengthwise adjustments may be made.

Abstract: 1,255,145. SCR switching circuits. TRANSCALL Ltd. 3 March, 1969 [2 March, 1968], No. 10246/68. Heading H3T. [Also in Division G4] An electronic relay circuit comprises a silicon controlled rectifier SCR arranged to switch a load L across an A.C. supply XY, the SCR being initially turned on by charging a capacitor C from the A.C. supply via a switch S1, the time constant of the circuit being such that the voltage stored therein at the end of a half cycle during which the SCR is non-conductive, is sufficient to retrigger the SCR. The capacitor C is then recharged from the load circuit. As described, in a call system for hospitals or hotels, the bell B is operated by a push button S1 which also charges capacitor C via diodes D2, Dl, so as to trigger the SCR and light lamp L. The SCR remains conductive during each positive half cycle after the push button S1 has been released, until a cancel button S2 is operated. Remote indicator lamps LX and isolating diodes D3 may be included. Where the load is in the cathode circuit, the gate signal is obtainable via a transformer or transistor.
