Title: Infrastructure equipment, mobile communications network and method
Inventor: RICHARDS DEREK JOHN
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2013-04-22
Abstract: Infrastructure equipment establishes a communications context for a communications device to communicate data packets using a packet communications bearer via a mobile communications network. A controller of the communications device is configured to identify that the communications device can enter a stasis, or sleep, state 250 because no data packets are available for transmission for a predetermined time via the packet communications bearer or there are no data packets to receive via the packet communications bearer. The infrastructure equipment receives a stasis state message from the communications device and stores information relating to the communications context associated with the packet communications hearer in a data store. The stored information can be used to reÂ­-establish the packet communications bearer to communicate data packets using the packet communications bearer. The stored information may comprise one or more sequence numbers associated with one or more protocols of a protocol stack.

Abstract: A hydrothermal oxidation method for the production of alkali metal dichromate from carbon ferrochrome is provided. The method involves the following steps: preparing primary reaction liquid by mixing carbon ferrochrome, alkaline substance and water and controlling the amount of the alkaline substance employed practically lower than that required theoretically; adding the primary reaction liquid in a reaction kettle and filling oxygen; reacting for 0.5h~3h under the conditions of 150   ~370    and 2Mpa~24Mpa; separating solid from the liquid, cooling the obtained filtrate to -12    to -20   , precipitating crystals and centrifugally separating to obtain the solution of alkali metal dichromate; increasing the acidification rate to greater than or equal to 100% by adding CrO3 into the solution of alkali metal dichromate; evaporating and concentrating, cooling and crystallizing, thereby obtaining alkali metal dichromate. Said method is a simple process and easy to control, which can be used to directly produce sodium dichromate under hydrothermal condition.

Title: Building product and building construction
Inventor: SHILLABEER JOHN LOUIS
IPC: E04D13/147
Filed: 2013-07-23
Abstract: The cavity tray has drainage formations (200) extending across the width of the cavity tray. These may be grooves or ridges, which in use prevent moisture travelling along the cavity if the tray is incorrectly installed. The cavity tray has a base (14) on which a building module (e.g. a brick) of the outer skin of a cavity wall is to stand. A rear wall (16) extends upwardly from the base (14) and has a line of weakness (18) leading to an upper portion (20) which is resiliently biased rearwardly. Thus, in use, the upper portion (20) bridges the cavity and presses against the inner skin. A side wall (22) shields the side of the brick against seeping water. A depression (28) conducts water to the free edge for discharge. At the front, a channel (36) retains a flexible flashing (40). Tray may be provided in combination with a lintel or damp proofing.

Title: Data processing apparatus and method with ownership table
Inventor: JASON PARKER
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2015-06-16
Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises processing circuitry to execute a plurality of processes, and an ownership table with entries indicating, for a corresponding block of physical addresses, which of the processes is an owner process that has exclusive control of access to a corresponding block of physical addresses. Preferably, in response to an ownership request from a process for said process to become owner of a target address-block, the circuitry updates the ownership table to indicate the owner process for the target address-block, but is prevented from doing so until completion of an overwriting procedure for data at every physical address of the target block. The apparatus may comprise encryption circuitry to encrypt data written to a block of addresses, and to decrypt data read from the block using keys corresponding to the owner, indicated in the ownership table for the selected block. The processes may be at least two of: a hypervisor, one or more virtual machines, one or more guest operating systems, one or more applications. The processes may have a process identifier, with circuitry which prevents creation of a new process with the same identifier until successful completion of an overwriting procedure to previously owned address blocks. The present application aims to introduce the concept of a blind hypervisor.

Patent GB-2530157-A (GB)
Title: Speculative register file read suppression
Inventor: ABERNATHY CHRIS
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2015-07-17
Abstract: This application relates to suppressing the reading of speculative registers when the values are no longer relevant. The speculative register file 20 orders the speculative registers from 0 to 255. It then uses different pointers to indicate when different actions should occur. There is a tail pointer that indicates when a speculative register should be allocated a new value, a head pointer that indicates when the registers value should be de-allocated, and a boundary pointer that indicates at what point reading from the speculative register should be suppressed. This is because it is known that any speculative registers which lie between the boundary pointer and the tail pointer will not contain any valid register values, so the system should not read from them. This is to save energy by preventing the system from performing read operations that are not necessary.

Title: Controlling gas turbine engines
Inventor: CHARLES ROBERT BODLE
IPC: F04D27/02
Filed: 2016-03-22
Abstract: The method of controlling a gas turbine engine having one or more compressors 14,15 to reduce the likelihood of a flame-out has the steps of: sensing the rotational speed of the compressor; obtaining a pressure differential across the compressor by comparing the static pressure sensed at the compressor input and output; venting from the compressor output if the pressure differential exceeds a predetermined value for the speed. The pressures may be sensed at a number of locations around the periphery of the input, with corresponding locations at the output, to obtain a number of differentials, a mean value is used to control the venting. The temperature at the outlet may also be used to modify the differential value. The venting may be controlled by a bleed valve 34,35 providing modulated control until the output static pressure is under a safe working pressure, or until a maximum efficiency value is reached. The engine may have a combustion chamber 16 with a fuel supply controlled by a modulating valve 23 dependent upon at least: the power demand; the pressure differential; and temperature of air entering the combustion chamber.
