Title: Enabling co-existence of hosts or virtual machines with identical addresses across a network
Inventor: MANN VIJAY
IPC: H04L45/50
Filed: 2012-11-27
Abstract: A method, an apparatus and an article of manufacture for enabling co-existence of multiple machines with identical addresses within a single data center network. The method includes: assigning a unique pseudo identifier(pseudo-MAC, PMAC) to each machine in the network that can be used for routing a packet to a destination machine 702; replacing a sender media access control address of an Address Resolution Protocol ARP request with a pseudo identifier of the sender at an edge network switch 704; retrieving a private network identifier from a mapping table based on the sender pseudo identifier and returning a pseudo identifier for the destination address based on the private network identifier 706, and replacing the pseudo identifier of the destination address with an actual identifier at a destination edge network switch for routing the packet to the destination machine 708. In the arrangement described routing across the network is performed using the pseudo identifiers (PMACs). A Top-Of-Rack TOR switch or a virtual switch may be used to replace the sender MAC address for an ARP request. The unique pseudo identifier assigned to each machine in the network may comprise a data center identifier, a pod identifier, a switch identifier, a virtual machine identifier, a replication identifier and an application identifier. A replica identifier may also be determined from a sender pseudo identifier. Furthermore, the pseudo identifier may also comprise an application identifier used to match a similar application component in a different replicated cluster in the network in case of a failure and using the similar application component for failover and re-routing.

Title: Socket assembly
Inventor: PEOPLES ANDREW
IPC: H01R13/639
Filed: 2013-06-12
Abstract: A socket assembly, for example for a caravan or mobile home, comprises a body 12 and a cover 14. The body defines a socket 16 for removably receiving a plug (18, Fig 3) the socket may be electrical or it may be for gas or water. The cover is slidable with respect to the body between an open state, in which it exposes a mouth of said socket to allow insertion or removal of said plug, and a closed state in which it at least partially closes the mouth. The cover may engage a portion (54, Fig 4) of the plug in use to hold the plug in the socket. The cover is less prone to damage than conventional hinged covers and is easier to replace since the old one can be slidably removed and a new one slidably fitted (without the need to remove the body from the wall). The cover does not flap in the wind or when, for example, a vehicle is moving and is well suited to being fixed to a surface by adhesive. Fixing apertures may be provided, and may be blind for when adhesive is used instead.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fluid flow devices
Inventor: RITCHIE CHARLES BUCHAN
IPC: G21D3/14
Filed: 2013-11-05
Abstract: A fluid flow device (10) for a wellhead comprises a fluid input (12) , a fluid output (14), a valve means (21) which controls the flow of fluid from the input to the output, and an actuator (20) which controls the position of the valve means (21). The fluid flow device (10) includes at least one acoustic transducer adapted to measure the acoustic noise generated by fluid flowing through the fluid flow device, and control means adapted to control the actuator in response to the measured acoustic noise. A digital signal converter can be used to transform, by a suitable algorithm, the acoustic noise measured by the transducer into a digital signal, which is then transmitted to the control means and compared to reference signals. The invention allows remote control of the fluid flow device in conjunction with remote monitoring of actual flow conditions in the device.

Title: Method for accessing business object resources and machine-to-machine communication environment
Inventor: PISSANG PATRICK
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2013-11-12
Abstract: A consumer application e.g. an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system subscribes S100 to a provider business application (e.g. a supplier lifecycle management (SLM)) system hosting business object resources to which business events, e.g. updates in supplier information, are assigned S110. A uniform resource identifier (URI) identifying a business object resource S130 affected by an occurring business event is included in a message generated by an event message generator S140 and sent to all subscribing customer applications via a message broker S150. The consumer application only connects to the business object resource via a RESTful API if it determines the message is of interest based on the URI S170. The message broker may be embedded in stand-alone message-orientated middleware (Figure 2), or be embedded in the provider business application, sending messages directly to the consumer applications (Figure 1) or via middleware (Figure 3). The event message may include a hyperlink and content type information of the affected business object resource. Different versions of the business object resources may be assigned different HTTP content type headers, a standard content type header being used to call the newest version of the business object resource. The message may be a JMS message. An event driven model is used for fetching business information rather than relying on requests from the customer application and a secured web application e.g. single sign on can be used as polling is not necessary.
