Abstract: In telecoms network 400, a plurality of network nodes in cluster 106 are configured to communicate with cache 112 which comprises a shared cache store 114 for caching subscriber configuration data for subscriber devices in telecoms network 400. Cache 112 is configured to communicate with subscriber configuration network node 116, which is responsible for storing subscriber configuration data for subscriber devices in telecoms network 400. At a cache 114, a subscriber configuration data request requesting subscriber configuration data for a subscriber device is received from a network node in a cluster of network nodes 106. It is determined that a shared cache store does not contain subscriber configuration data for the subscriber device and the subscriber configuration data for the subscriber device is retrieved from a subscriber configuration network node 116. The subscriber configuration data for the subscriber device retrieved from the subscriber configuration network node is transmitted to the network node. Hence, subscriber configuration network node 116 need only be contacted if the required subscriber configuration data is not contained in shared cache store 114. The subscriber configuration network node may comprise a Home subscriber server (HSS). The interface between the cache 112 and the HSS comprises a Cx interface, as defined in the IMS specifications.

Title: Background format optimization for enhanced SQL-like queries in hadoop
Inventor: KORNACKER MARCEL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2014-09-30
Abstract: A format conversion engine for Apache Hadoop that converts data from its original format to a database-like target format, such as the columnar Parquet format, at certain time points for use by a low latency (LL) query engine 114 a-c, comprises a daemon 118a-c that is installed on each data node 120a-c in a Hadoop cluster. The daemon comprises a scheduler and a converter. The scheduler determines when to perform the format conversion and notifies the converter when the time comes. The converter converts data on the data node from its original format to a database-like format, for use by the low latency (LL) query engine. The converted data is saved on the data node together with the original, unconverted data, both available to the low latency (LL) query engine. The low latency (LL) query engine divides a query from a client into fragments for the target format which are then distributed among the data nodes for execution in parallel. The query fragments are executed on the transformed data to obtain intermediate results that are aggregated and returned to the client.

Patent GB-2532512-A (GB)
Title: Location method
Inventor: PATRICK CARROLL
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2014-11-24
Abstract: When a transaction is made between a transaction device 102 e.g. an ATM or POS terminal the location of a user is determined, for example based on the location of the users mobile phone, and it is determined whether this location can be used to infer the location of the transaction device by comparison with a distribution map or database 104-105. A counter may be increased where the inferred location of the device matches a previously inferred location of the same device, increasing the confidence level that the device is in that location. If the inferred location is different to a previously inferred location it may be that the result is not valid, for example it may be that the user has left their mobile phone in a different location. A threshold confidence level may be used to determine whether location information has been sufficiently reliably established. The distribution map for transaction devices may be automatically generated through a self-learning process. Thus location may be used to assess whether a transaction is fraudulent 101 even when accurate location data is not available for a transaction device.
