Title: Locally optimum trading positions in market measure
Inventor: CHELLABOINA VIJAYSEKHAR
IPC: G06Q40/04
Filed: 2013-02-25
Abstract: A trading position evaluation system (102) for evaluating trading positions that are locally optimum in a market measure includes an option price determination module (216) configured to determine at a trading time instance amongst a plurality of trading time instances obtained from a trader, a scaled option price and a shifted scaled option price of an underlying asset of a European Contingent Claim (ECC) based on ECC data (110) and market data (114). The ECC data (110) comprises data associated with the ECC and the underlying asset of the ECC, and the market data (114) comprises annualized rate of return and annualized volatility of the underlying asset, and interest rate of market. Based on the scaled option price and the shifted scaled option price, a position evaluation module (116) evaluates a trading position at the trading time instance that minimizes local variance of profit and loss to the trader.

Title: A memory device and method of performing a read operation within such a memory device
Inventor: CHONG YEW KEONG
IPC: G11C11/419
Filed: 2013-11-14
Abstract: A memory device and method of use comprising an array of memory cells 100, 155,160, 165 arranged as a plurality of rows and columns, the cells of each column group being coupled to an associated read bit line 150, RBLTOP, RBLBOTTOM , the memory device further comprising a word line driver circuitry 130 , precharge circuitry 170 and sense amplifier 180. The memory cells may be static random access memory cells (SRAM) conforming to an 8T configuration 100. The memory device further comprising a read bit line keeper circuitry 175 coupled to each read bit line 150 responsive to an asserted keeper pulse signal (PULSE) to pull the voltage on each read bit line towards the first voltage level (e.g Vdd). The keeper pulse signal generation circuitry (figures 3B, C) asserts the keeper pulse signal (225,235, figure 3C) at a selected time after the read word line pulse signal (220, figure 3C) is asserted, the selected time being selected such that if an activated memory cell stores a first value, the voltage on the associated read bit line will have transitioned to the trip voltage level before the keeper pulse signal is asserted, thereby not impacting performance of the read operation, and thereby retaining optimized read speed. Further, the selected time is selected such that if an activated memory cell stores a second value, leakage current within the memory cells of the column group coupled to the associated read bit line will not have caused the voltage on the associated read bit line to have transitioned to the trip voltage level before the keeper pulse signal is asserted (figure 4). Correct operation during read operation is achieved in the presence of leakage current.

Title: A System for Processing Emergency Services Calls
Inventor: KEATING MICHAEL
IPC: G08B25/10
Filed: 2014-09-11
Abstract: The computer program product comprises program instructions that when operated on a mobile communications device (MCD) 9, causes the MCD to monitor whether an emergency services call centre 3 number is being called from the MCD. On detecting that an emergency services call centre number is being called from the MCD, the computer program product causes the MCD to retrieve an MCD contact address (e.g. phone number, IMEI, MAC address, IP address) from memory, retrieve the most recent location data of the MCD, and transmit the MCD contact address and the most recent location data to the emergency services call centre. The data may be transmitted over a second communication link 15 (which may be an internet communication channel or a Short Messaging Service (SMS) channel. The emergency services call centre computer 7 has a computer program product for use in monitoring emergency calls that can collate (or pair) the second communication link 15 and more specifically the location data contained therein with the emergency services voice call (over link 13) from the MCD. This allows effective, seamless tracking of MCD users making emergency calls.

Title: Handling address translation requests
Inventor: MATTHEW EVANS
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2015-03-02
Abstract: A memory management unit, MMU (60), comprises an interface (61) for receiving an address translation request from a device 40, 50, the address translation request specifying a virtual request to be translated. Translation circuitry 64, 66 translates the virtual address into an intermediate address different from a physical address directly specifying a memory location. The interface (61) provides an address translation response specifying the intermediate address to the device in response to the address translation request. This improves security by avoiding exposure of physical addresses to the device. Only the intermediate address is exposed to the device. A translated access request specifying the intermediate address may then be translated into a corresponding physical address by the translation circuitry. In a second mode, the translation circuitry may be configured to translate the virtual address into the physical address and provide a response specifying the physical address. The second mode may be used by devices that are trusted. The request may be an advance address translation request, where the request is sent ahead of time when a memory access is not yet required.

Title: Methods and systems for alerting a track operator to the likelihood of a fault in a track circuit
Inventor: ANDREW PETER MYERS
IPC: B61L1/20
Filed: 2015-03-17
Abstract: A method for alerting a track operator to the likelihood of a fault in a track circuit associated with a section of railway track. The method comprises receiving data representative of a measured track circuit response S501 as a train passes along the section of railway track and comparing the received data with a model response for the track circuit so as to obtain difference data S502 indicative of the difference between the measured response and the model response. The model response is computed by averaging track circuit responses measured for trains that have previously passed along the section of track. An alert that a fault has occurred or is likely to occur in the track circuit is issued dependent on analysis of the difference data S503. The alert may be issued in the form of an electronic communication such as an email, an aural sound or via a display screen S504.
