Title: Security protection of software libraries in a data processing apparatus
Inventor: GROCUTT THOMAS CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06F21/74
Filed: 2013-06-12
Abstract: Processing circuitry has domains of operation including a secure domain 90 and a less secure domain 80. Some data accessible to instructions when operating in the secure domain is inaccessible when operating in the less secure domain. Security protection hardware (40, fig. 1) performs a first security protection operation when the processing circuitry calls 120 between the less secure domain and the secure domain. A data store stores a plurality of software libraries 100 and library management software 110 for execution by the processing circuitry. The library management software controls the processing circuitry to set at least one of the software libraries as an active software library which is executable by the processing circuitry and to set at least one other software library as an inactive software library which is not executable by the processing circuitry. When the processing circuitry calls 130 a target inactive software library the library management software performs active library switching to control the processing circuitry to set the target inactive software library as active and a previously active software library as inactive.

Title: Process for the removal of contaminants
Inventor: COMBES GARY BEVAN
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 2012-10-03
Abstract: A process is described for the removal of a contaminantselected from a drying agent and a corrosion inhibitorfrom a sorbent selected from afiltration medium, a molecular sieve material, a porous oxide or a chemical sorbent,comprising the step of applying a carbon dioxide stream in which the carbon dioxide is present in the liquid phase orsupercriticalphase, to the contaminated sorbent in a sorbent vessel to remove the contaminant from the sorbent and form a contaminant-laden carbon dioxide stream and a decontaminated sorbent. Preferably the contaminant-laden carbon dioxide stream is recovered from the sorbent vessel and fedto a separation vessel in which the pressure is reduced to cause separation of the contaminant from a depressurised gaseous carbon dioxide. Adepressurised gaseous carbon dioxidestream and a separate contaminant streammay then be recovered from the separation vessel. The recovered depressurised carbon dioxide may be re-pressurised and fed back to the sorbent vessel. The process may be used for the regeneration of contaminated sorbents.
