Title: A web server with dynamic remote extensions
Inventor: YANG GUANG
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: A web server with dynamic remote extension is a computer network for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) users to provide web contents over the Internet. Different from virtual host mechanism, these web contents reside on these extensions rather on the server. Every remote extension is an independent web host to publish its web contents. The web server works as gateway or agent to deal with incoming requests and to relay these request to its remote extensions. After fetching data from a specified extension, it sends the result back to requesters. The web server contains an extension name registration which stores the references and exported objects of live extensions in runtime. These extensions do not have static IP address configured for DNS and can only be registered themselves with the web server by exporting their remote objects that encapsulate host properties, web contents reading behaviours and communication events during their runtime. This invention relates to a dynamic web host construction without DNS resolving of IP address. It creates a new mechanism for the name resolving in the terms of binding the name with exported object of the web host in the runtime.

Title: Alignment arrangement for moulding overmoulds, e.g. for optoelectronic modules
Inventor: CHAN BENSON
IPC: H01L21/56
Filed: 2001-05-03
Abstract: To mould an overmould 18 onto the surface of a substrate 19, the substrate is provided with two concave recesses 86 which interengage with pins 88 upstanding from the base 80 of a mould. The radius of curvature of the recesses 86 is greater than the radius of curvature of the pins 88 so that the recesses engage with the pins along a line of contact which allows accurate alignment of the substrate with the base of the mould. The recesses are biassed to engage with the pins by the action of a tapered surface 89 of a plunger 90 as a top mould 92 is positioned over the base, and resin is then injected into the mould cavity through an inlet passage 97 and a gate 98. The overmould 18 is part of an optoelectronic transceiver module comprising a first sub-assembly 26 of electrical components on the substrate 19 and an optoelectronic receiver 20 and transmitter 22 mounted as a second sub-assembly 36 which engages with the overmould. The second sub-assembly has two pins which are a press fit respectively in a moulded slot hole 43 having two opposing sides and a moulded trilobe hole 44 having three sidewalls in a platform 38 of the overmould to locate the second sub-assembly accurately. The sub-assemblies 26, 36 are subsequently secured together by adhesive. Leads from the sub-assembly 36 are then secured to pads 60,61 in a cavity 58 in the overmould.

Title: Transmit diversity in an indoor gsm cellular system comprising a base station having at least two antennas having mutual time delay and phase difference
Inventor: FOGG ANDREW
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2001-06-08
Abstract: A cellular radio telecommunications system comprises a basestation having at least two antennas 107, 114. Each antenna is arranged to transmit a downlink signal to one or more mobile subscriber units. The downlink signal is transmitted from each antenna 107, 114 having a mutual time delay and phase difference, the phase difference changing from time to time. Because of the mutual phase differences, if the signals received at a mobile station are mutually in anti-phase during one time slot of the downlink signal, there is a very low probability that they will also be in anti-phase at the corresponding time slot in the next several frames.

Title: A method of growing a magnesium-doped nitride semiconductor material
Inventor: BARNES JENNIFER MARY
IPC: H01L33/32
Filed: 2001-06-13
Abstract: A method of growing a magnesium-doped nitride semiconductor material by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), comprises supplying ammonia gas, gallium and magnesium to an MBE growth chamber containing a substrate so as to grow a magnesium-doped nitride semiconductor material over the substrate. Magnesium is supplied to the growth chamber at a beam equivalent pressure of at least 1 x 10<SP>-9</SP> mbar, and preferably in the range from 1 x 10<SP>-9</SP> mbar to 1 x 10<SP>-7</SP> mbar during the growth process. The substrate temperature during the growth process is preferably between 850{C and 1050{C. This provides p-type GaN that has a high concentration of free charge carriers and eliminates the need to activate the magnesium dopant atoms by annealing or irradiating the material.

Title: Alerting users to impending events
Inventor: HADDAD WASSIM
IPC: G08G1/133
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: A method of alerting a user to the expected occurrence of an event and of automatically providing the user with a predetermined notice period of an event comprises identifying an event which has an unreliable start time, but a start time that can be predicted more accurately as the time of the event approaches by monitoring a precursor parameter to the event. Prediction of the likely timing of the event is then possible from monitoring the precursor parameter. Advance notice is then given to the user a predetermined time before the expected time of the event. Notice may be given at least partly by electronic wireless telecommunications. The event may be the arrival of a vehicle such as a bus 14a,14b and so the precursor parameter may be based on the sensed position of the vehicle. Systems and software using the method are also disclosed.

Title: Low overhead flag emulation during code conversion
Inventor: SANDHAM JOHN
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2003-02-06
Abstract: An emulator 30 allows subject code 10 written for a subject processor 12 having subject processor registers 14 and condition code flags 16 to run in a non-compatible computing environment 2. The emulator 3 identifies and records parameters of instructions in the subject code that affect the status of the condition code flags. When a flag using instruction, such as a branch or jump, in the subject code is encountered the flag status is resolved from the recorded parameters. The emulator may be used to perform dynamic code translation where, by emulating the flag statuses only when required, the emulation overhead is substantially reduced. The emulator may be used on systems having similar or highly incompatible flag architecture arrangements. The method may avoid generation of target code to explicitly calculate flag values, establish abstract registers representing unique flag parameters or generate an intermediate representation tree for an instruction sequence.
