Patent GB-2432438-A (GB)
Title: Uniform resource identifiers within document packages
Inventor: COHN RICHARD J
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2006-06-16
Abstract: The invention features a method and apparatus for receiving a data package, the data package being digital data embedding a plurality of documents and a manifest that includes one or more pairs of identifiers. Each pair comprises an alias-source identifier and an alias-destination identifier, and each alias-destination identifier points to a dynamic content resource within the data package. A target identifier is received in a request to perform an operation with the target identifier as an operand and, if the target identifier matches any of the alias-source identifiers in the one or more pairs of identifiers, the alias-destination identifier paired with the matching alias-source identifier is used instead of the target identifier in performing the operation.

Title: Service discovery protocol for coupled UWB data connectors
Inventor: MOORE MARK JUSTIN
IPC: H04B1/69
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: An Ultra Wide Band (UWB) transmitter 210 and receiver 214 are inductively coupled via electrical coils (260, 262 in fig. 2c) in coupling elements 208a and b comprising "bishops hat" antennas, allowing operation within a short near-field range over a gap (eg. 1 cm) without physical contact connectors. Contactless connectors improve the reliability of eg. laptop docking stations or phone cradles and allow operation in underwater or hazardous "spark risk" environments, while retaining the low power and gigabits per second data rate of impulse UWB signals, with the short range also eliminating mulitpath interference. Different alignments or polarizations of the coupling elements (fig, 4d) may invoke different operational functions. An electrical backplane accommodates card sockets, mechanical interfacing is optional, and different protocols can be carried across the UWB link synchronously via protocol tunnelling, as discovered by a service discovery protocol.

Title: Efficient micro-machining apparatus and method for employing multiple laser beams
Inventor: CUTLER DONALD R
IPC: B23K26/38
Filed: 2007-05-30
Abstract: A laser beam switching system (50) employs a laser (52) coupled to a beam switching device (58) that causes a laser beam to switch between first and second beam positioning heads such that while the first beam positioning head (60) is directing the laser beam to process a workpiece target location, the second beam positioning head (62) is moving to another target location and vice versa. A preferred beam switching device includes first and second AOMs. When RF is applied to the first AOM (72), the laser beam is diffracted toward the first beam positioning head, and when RF is applied to the second AOM (74), the laser beam is diffracted toward the second beam positioning head. A workpiece processing system (120) employs a common modular imaged optics assembly (122) and an optional variable beam expander (94) for optically processing multiple laser beams.

Title: Virtualisation of block level storage by compartmentalising data into virtual block files to establish a virtual block file system
Inventor: KLARZYNSKI MARK
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2009-06-08
Abstract: Each Virtual Block File (VBF) encapsulates a specific address range of a Block Level Storage Device (BLSD) 2, such as a range of Logical Block Addresses (LBAs), thus creating a Virtual Block File System 6. The VBF System creates its own, structured file system on the BLSD and appears transparent to a host 1 file system 3 by emulating or virtualising 8 a standard BLSD. The VBF System provides a structured interface to the VBFs, and thus to the underlying physical BLSD, either by the host (e.g. a client workstation or an application server) or by other applications 9 interfaced to the VBF System. The VBFs may be of fixed or variable size, may span a dynamically variable range of LBAs and may be stored on any BLSD. The VBFs may be manipulated independently of a host or client system to provide performance enhancements, e.g. through caching, multithreading and promotion of more active VBFs to higher performing storage (Information Lifecycle Management).

Abstract: 107,662. Chapman, F. W. July 17, 1916. Framework.-Adjoining members of light structures, such as aeroplanes and hangars for aircraft, are connected together by means of a thin plate hav. ing, on one or more sides when bent into its final form, a recessed lateral groove in which a wiring plate is adapted to fit and be secured thereby. Fig. 5 shows one form of the fitting for use on the longeron of an aeroplane and Fig. 2 the same in position. The longeron A is stayed by struts B, C, and by bracing-wires secured to wiring plates D, only one being shown in position. The fitting is originally stamped from flat plate and, after being bent to its final form, is fastened by the lugs F, G. The walls H are bent up to form partial or complete sockets as shown for the struts. Grooved recesses J, K are formed along the base of the sockets, and in these recesses the shaped wiring plates D, Fig. 3, are held, a corresponding groove being made in the ends of the struts. Diagonal bracing may be attached to the lugs F, G. Various forms of wiring plates are described. Fig. 11 shows a simpler form of the fitting, a diagonal eye-bolt S being used to assist in securing the fitting in position and as an anchor for diagonal bracing-wires.
