Title: Cryptographic processing using isomorphic mappings of Galois fields
Inventor: MURPHY JULIAN PHILIP
IPC: G06F7/72
Filed: 2007-10-04
Abstract: In a cryptographic process acting on n-of-m codeword data, which foils differential power analysis and fault-injection attacks by always ensuring a predetermined number (n) of 1-bits appear, data comprising a Galois (finite) field GF (  g  k or lambda  G  k) is isomorphically mapped to an s-tuple of a Galois field GF (  g  r or lambda  G  r). For example (fig. 5b), with k=8, s=4 and r=2, a byte of data treated as an element of GF(28) may be processed as a 4-tuple of elements of GF (22), ie. a 4-tuple of 1-of-4 codewords (see q0-3 in fig. 1a). The processing thus requires a smaller integrated circuit and consumes less power, and the n-of-m codewords ensure that the logic circuit's power consumption is invariable and data-independent. The n-of-m codewords may be further converted to different, p-of-q codewords for yet greater efficiency.

Title: Sheet counter
Inventor: COLVILL EDWARD WILLIAM
IPC: G06M7/00
Filed: 2007-10-12
Abstract: A sheet counter has a counting disc (25) mounted on a disc shaft (24) such that on rotation of the disc, sheets to be counted are transferred from one side of the disc to the other. A carrier (10) interconnects the disc shaft with a hollow drive shaft (23) through which the disc shaft extends. The carrier has an inner region (13) secured to the disc shaft and an outer region (11) secured to the drive shaft, there being circularly-extending spokes (14) interconnecting the inner and outer regions. The spokes (14) are flexible in the axial direction such that the disc may move axially through a small extent with respect to the drive shaft (23). A peg (32) on the drive shaft and groove (33) in the disc shaft serve to limit that axial movement.

Title: Symbol to sub-carrier interleaver for DVB-T2 wherein the permutation matrix applied to the LFSR bits is varied from OFDM symbol to OFDM symbol
Inventor: TAYLOR MATTHEW PAUL ATHOL
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2008-10-24
Abstract: DVB-T and DVB-H (de)interleave symbols to/from sub-carriers using a pseudo random sequence generated using an LFSR (linear feedback shift register) <B>200</B> whose bits are fed through a permutation matrix <B>210</B> to generate the read/write address for the interleaver rnemory. The invention provides improved separation between symbols either by applying an offset to the addresses that changes from symbol to symbol, or by changing the permutation matrix from symbol to symbol. The invention normally uses a rotating sequence of offsets or matrices. The interleaver can also switch between a mode wherein a memory location is written to with the next symbol immediately after the current symbol has been read (Fig. 4), when the number of sub-carriers exceeds half the number of memory locations, and a mode where alternate symbols are each assigned their own memory locations otherwise (Figs. 9 and 10).

Title: Use of end of instructions marker to read a register value to trigger a processor action
Inventor: AURICH MERLIJN
IPC: G06F9/32
Filed: 2009-10-19
Abstract: A data processing apparatus and associated method of use for controlling the operation of a data engine (6), the engine having an instruction decoder (18) for generating one or more control signals (24) for controlling processing circuitry (20) to perform data processing operations specified by the program instructions decoded and a flow control register (36). In operation the instruction decoder responds to a marker instruction which indicates the end of a current sequence of program instructions by reading a flow control value from the flow control register. Depending on the value one or more control signals are generated to trigger after completion of the instructions to either process or jump to a further sequence of program instructions from a target address or to place the data engine into an idle state to await new instructions. The target address may be a memory address of a target instruction. The target address may also be a target scheduling program running on a host processor device coupled to the data engine. The flow control value may include a jump enable field comprising a jump enable bit.

Title: Central heating system including an insulated water storage tank
Inventor: BRODERICK JAMES FRANCIS
IPC: F24D3/10
Filed: 2009-11-16
Abstract: The central heating system comprises one or more radiators connected in series with a boiler, and an insulated water storage tank in fluid connection with the boiler and the one or more radiators. In a first mode of operation the boiler provides heated water to the one or more radiators and additionally to the tank. In a second mode of operation the boiler is deactivated and the tank selectively provides stored heated water received from the boiler to the one or more radiators, thereby providing background heat while the boiler is turned off. The supply of water from the boiler and tank may be regulated by pumps operated by electrical timing programmes. During periods of no demand, no water is dispensed by the boiler or the tank and the water stored in the tank retains much of its heat because the tank is insulated.

Title: Method and apparatus for finishing gears
IPC: B23F19/05
Filed: 1958-03-28
Abstract: 881,478. Gear - finishing. NATIONAL BROACH & MACHINE CO. March 28, 1958 [May 27, 1957], No. 10044/58. Class 83 (3). [Also in Group XXIII] A method of finishing an internal or external spur or bevel gear G comprises running the gear in mesh with a gear-like abrasive tool T while maintaining a relatively light constant radial pressure (2 to 200 lbs.) on the tool or gear. The gear G is carried on a table 22 movable about a pivot 28 by a piston 42. The piston is engaged by a friction pad attached to a second piston. The pistons are operated by fluid from the coolant system by a pump 62. The pump supplies fluid to a three-way valve 64 which is initially operated to cause fluid to pass through needle valves 70, 76 connected respectively to large and small ports 72, 78 leading to the piston 42. The table 22 then moves upwardly under a pressure denoted by a gauge 88 and adjusted by a regulating valve 80. During honing, the valve 64 is operated to cut-out the supply through the valve 70, and the gear is fed upwardly as fluid passes through the valve 76. By intermittently locking the piston 42 by the friction pad, feed may be applied only at the ends of each traverse. The pitch line velocity of the driven tool T is several hundred ft./min. Coolant is supplied via a valve 86 at a pressure determined by a valve 82. In a modification, the fluid pressure is determined by a pneumatically-operated bellows in an oil reservoir, the coolant being supplied separately. In a further modification, air, instead of fluid, is supplied to the piston 42. The weight of the table may be counterbalanced by a spring. Specification 881,479 is referred to.

The polyolefin is linear and has an average molecular weight of at least 200,000, measured from the viscosity, and a melt index of substantially zero. The fibres have a surface area of at least 1À0 m.<SP>2</SP>/g. The resulting sheet may be pressed during or after the heating step and may be oriented biaxially. Depending upon the degree of fusion and the content of polyolefin fibre in the web, the porosity and transparency may vary within wide limits. In the products the fibres may retain some of their identity even in the fused portions, although complete fusion to a film is contemplated. Examples illustrate the preparation of sheets from polyethylene, polypropylene and ethylene/ vinyl acetate copolymer.
