Title: Slide assembly with locking mechanism
Inventor: CHEN KEN-CHING
IPC: A47B88/493
Filed: 2011-12-29
Abstract: A first rail 10 is connected to a bracket 102 fitted with installation members 104 which engage in a rack. A stop 18 is connected to the first rail 10 and a locking member 20 is pivotably connected to a second rail 12. A release member 22 has a window which accommodates the locking member 20, and also includes an inclined surface 34. A resilient member (38, fig 4) keeps the locking member 20 located corresponding to the stop 18. When the second rail 12 is retracted, the locking member 20 engages with the stop, while when the operation portion 28 of the release member 22 is pulled outward, the locking member 20 is guided by the inclined surface 34 and pivoted toward another direction to disengage from the stop 18, thus allowing the second rail 12 to be pulled out relative to first rail 10.

IPC: H04L49/111
Filed: 2010-07-07
Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for supporting non-delivery notification between a switch and device in a network. A login with a switch is initiated including a test service parameter requesting a non-delivery notification service to cause the switch to return a non-delivery notification in response to a test path request indicating a destination node that is unavailable. Indication is made that the test service is available for the login in response to receiving a reply from the switch that the switch accepts the login with the non-delivery notification service. The test path request is sent to the switch to determine whether the destination node is available in response to determining that the non-delivery notification service is available for the switch login. The non-delivery notification is received from the switch in response to the switch determining that the destination node to which the test path request is directed is unavailable.

Title: Optical recirculation with ablative thrust
Inventor: ANDERSON JOHN ERNEST
IPC: B64G1/40
Filed: 2012-08-23
Abstract: Apparatus for producing thrust from ablation pressure uses optically recirculated electromagnetic energy in combination with an ablative material. The apparatus has particular application in defence as a directed energy weapon. The apparatus can also be used as a propulsion unit by making use of a beam or fusion. It also has uses in climate control and terraforming. The apparatus includes multiple eye mirrors 311 to 313 and individual further alternate defined mirrors 301 to 303 respectively, each of which reflects electromagnetic energy into a respective eye mirror 311 to 313. An explosion 334 results from the implosion, ignition and burn of a target for inertial confinement fusion. A shield 370 protects the apparatus from the explosion 334. The eye mirrors 311 to 313 respectively optically recirculate electromagnetic energy to implode the next target. AbÂ­lation of material or coolant from the surface of the shield provides the thrust in ablative drive.

Title: Encoding of precursor ion beams to aid product/fragment ion assignment
Inventor: WILDGOOSE JASON LEE
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2012-09-17
Abstract: A method of encoding a parent or precursor ion beam to aid product ion assignment is disclosed. Different species of parent ion are caused to have different intensity profiles as a function of time or as a function of a parameter, e.g. collision energy, when said parameter is varied between a plurality of different values. Fragment or product ions derived from said parent ions are correlated/assigned to their corresponding parent ions or other fragment/product ions based upon the intensity profiles of said parent and product ions as a function of time or said parameter. Alternatively, parent ions may be caused to adopt different spatial locations at an instance in time, with said assignment/correlation of derived fragment/product ions being based on the spatial positions of said parent and fragment ions.

Title: Network performance monitoring and fault detection
Inventor: KNIGHT PHIL
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2012-10-25
Abstract: In a communication network in which a particular data set (eg. the Googleâ„¢ search engine homepage) is transferred frequently (while eg. remaining relatively static), parameters such as delay, transmission rate, packet sequence order or application layer data may be monitored for such transfers and compared to a characteristic transfer profile, with a potential fault being diagnosed when any such parameter deviates from the profile by an amount greater than a threshold value, thus creating a characteristic fault signature. The monitoring unit (200, fig. 1) may reside in the network core 110 or at a base station 131 or client device (eg. smartphone 133, fig. 2). A valid profile may first be created (fig. 4.1) from statistical analysis of similar transfers before fault matching (fig. 4.2), which takes into account the users device and browser.

Title: Method And Apparatus For Deploying Industrial Plant SimulatorsUsing Cloud Computing Technologies
Inventor: KEPHART RICHARD W
IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2013-01-21
Abstract: A process control simulation technique is created in a network cloud using data communicated from one or more plants using a thin or light client at the plant. The simulation performs real-time simulation or prediction of an actual process control network as that network is running within a process plant in a manner that is synchronized with the operation of the actual process control network. In particular, this synchronized simulation system is automatically updated periodically during the operation of the actual process control network to reflect changes made to the actual process control network, as well as to account for changes which occur within the plant itself, i.e., changes which require updating a process model used within the simulation system as the relevant data is communicated in a timely manner to the network computers operating in the network cloud. The synchronized, cloud based simulation system described herein provides for a more cost effective and usable simulation system, as the plant models used within the simulation system are synchronized with and up-to-date with respect to the current process operating conditions but the specialised knowledge to set up, operate and maintain the simulations are completed by trained operators in the network cloud.

Title: Improved control of pre-fetch traffic
Inventor: MEREDITH JASON
IPC: G06F12/0891
Filed: 2013-01-15
Abstract: Method for control of traffic generated by a processor. A node in a memory hierarchy 108 receives a pre-fetch request from processor 102, 104, or 106 for data or instructions. The request includes a pre-fetch identifier which is used by logic 128 together with an assessment of traffic levels within the memory hierarchy by logic 130 to generate an abort response for the request at times of high traffic. The abort response is transmitted to the processor which deletes records of the pre-fetch request stored locally. The identifier flags the request as pre fetch rather than time-critical request. If the data / instruction is later required, a new request is issued at a higher priority than the original request. Prefetch identifiers are selected according to speculative or definite request. Assessment of traffic levels is dynamically updated and includes measurements of: Quality of Service (QoS), requests accepted in a window, bandwidth consumed.
