Title: Mechanism for allowing access to unsecured resources via a security engine using inverted security policies
Inventor: COLGRAVE JOHN
IPC: G06F21/60
Filed: 2006-09-29
Abstract: A system provides a number of resources, some of which are subjected to security policies and some of which are not. For secured resources a policy specifying how the resource may be used and by whom is drawn up as usual <B>(Fig. 4a).</B> The system then creates a complementary policy which specifies that all users can use the resource <B>(Fig. 4b).</B> For unsecured resources no security policies are created. When access to a resource is requested <B>302</B> the normal policy is checked in the normal fashion <B>304</B> and access allowed <B>306</B> or denied as usual. If usual access is denied then the complementary policy is checked <B>310,</B> however the result of this check is inverted. That is, where a policy allows blanket access the access is denied <B>314</B>. Whereas where there is no access policy the access is allowed <B>312.</B> In this fashion access to the unsecured resources with no security policies is facilitated <B>(Fig. 4c).</B>

Title: Method of treating a hydrocarbon containing formation
Inventor: WELLINGTON SCOTT LEE
IPC: E21B43/243
Filed: 2004-04-24
Abstract: A method of treating a hydrocarbon containing formation in situ involves providing barrier walls, such as freeze wells 564B-D, to form a perimeter barrier for a portion of the formation, then reducing a pressure in the portion of the formation in a controlled manner, and producing methane from that portion of the formation. Upon isolation of a treatment area with a barrier, dewatering wells may be used to remove water from hydrocarbon layers 556D-F of the treatment area which creates a reduction in the pressure in the treatment area. Removing water and/or reducing the pressure in the treatment area may facilitate production of methane from the treatment area and increase the amount and/or the production rate of methane from the treatment area.

Title: Delivery of advanced telephony services for calls received on a local telephone exchange switch which only supports services of a first type
Inventor: TAYLOR MARTIN
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2008-12-04
Abstract: A call forwarding function is set on the local telephone exchange switch for incoming calls directed to the main telephone dialling number for a subscriber to forward calls to a service platform. Telephony services of a second type can be provided to some calls for the subscriber at the service platform. Other calls for the subscriber can be forwarded back to the local telephone exchange switch using an alternate telephone dialling number for the subscriber and directed to subscriber equipment. The local exchange can be reconfigured to disable a subscriber-configurability feature for services of a first type to prevent a subscriber from configuring a setting which may interfere with services of the second type provided on the service platform. Thus, when an incoming call arrives at local telephone exchange switch directed towards a subscribers' main dialling number, the call is forwarded to service platform due to the unconditional call forwarding function that has been enabled for the main dialling number on the subscriber's line. Service platform then applies whatever treatment is required on the call, which may indicate that an advanced telephony service should be applied.

Title: Apparatus for detection of foreign matter in fibre material
Inventor: ENGELS GUIDO
IPC: D01G31/00
Filed: 2009-06-01
Abstract: Apparatus in a spinning room preparation, ginning or the like installation for detection of foreign matter in fibre material, especially cotton, comprises a presentation channel 16 through which fibre material is pneumatically conveyed. Associated with the channel is a detector 711for foreign matter, preferably comprising a camera 9, which receives reflected ultraviolet light originating from source 12 and polarised light that has been transmitted through the channel from source 11. Neither the UV nor polarised light normally registers with camera 9. When the ultraviolet light contacts certain contaminants (e.g. dense plastics packaging straps) in the channel it may be converted by fluorescence into light visible to the camera 9. Also when the polarised light is passed through certain contaminants (e.g. polypropylene or polyethylene) its polarisation may be changed such that it becomes visible to the camera 9. Both types of light are preferably simultaneously registered by the camera. Contaminants having a similar colour to the bulk fibre may thus be detected. A further colour sensitive camera set-up 71may also be provided to detect contamnants having a colour different to that of the bulk fibre. The camera systems may be used to trigger a device to eject detected contaminants.
