The Screen Resident Device Driver (see Figure 1A) includes a Real Time Operating System that is in charge of a TCP/IP communication protocol, USB-Host communication protocol, a Network and Display Server, a mobile phone and communication process driver, and a Bluetooth-Host communication protocol. The Mobile Phone Resident Device Driver (see Figure 1B) installed in the smartphone/mobile phone includes a Resident Detect Operation Service, a Remote Human Interface Device (HID), a Remote HID-Disk, a Display Resolution Control, a Remote Transaction Event Handler, and a Virtual Display Driver. The original image 21 on the mobile phone is enlarged according to the geometric ratio between the smartphone display and external display to control the resolution of the virtual image 23 created at the mobile phone which is ultimately displayed on the external display as real image 111. Zipping (compression) either partial or all of the virtual image 23 periodically is also performed by the smartphone, the zipped virtual image is saved in the memory buffer, so that the virtual image could be wiredly or wirelessly sent to the external display under a condition that the resolution is fixed or increased. Thereafter, the virtual image is unzipped (and enlarged) into the real image for display on the external display. Control of the time difference between frames displayed on each display is also disclosed so that the displays are synchronous. Furthermore, user input may be made at the external display, or from peripherals associated with the external display apparatus, and this user input is sent to the smartphone to provide external control of the smartphone.

Title: An extraction system controlled by cooking activity thresholds
Inventor: VERNER NEIL ANTONY
IPC: F24C15/20
Filed: 2012-01-19
Abstract: A system for extracting air from a cooking environment has filters, a pump, and a means for determining a level of cooking activity (e.g. thermostats 12,14, light scatter monitors 16A,16B, carbon dioxide sensor 18 in fig 1), the pump maintaining a first level of air extraction X' when the level of cooking activity is below a first threshold X, a second level of air extraction Y' when the level of cooking activity is between the first threshold X and a second threshold Y and the air extraction varying continuously with the level of cooking activity is above the second threshold Y. The extraction level is achieved by controlling dampers (22,24, fig 1). An extraction fan (28, fig 1) and air supply fan (34, fig 1) are kept in balance at a preferred air pressure by pressure sensors (32,38, fig 1) in air tubes (26,40, fig 1). Thus energy consumption can be reduced without incomplete exhaust extraction.

Title: Identifying and stopping executable threads subjected to process hollowing
Inventor: JONES STEPHEN IAN
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2012-05-29
Abstract: A computer system is programmed to monitor threads of executable processes, determine whether any particular process has been hijacked by malicious code through code injection techniques of process hollowing, and prevent the malware process from executing. The system checks if the initial thread of the process has been created in a suspended state 110, and, if so, creates an copy of the original process 120 by mapping it from storage into a spare memory area where it will not be executed. The header of the first section of the suspicious process is compared with the header of the first section of the copy 130. If the two differ, then the suspicious process is terminated 140 before it can be executed. The method may comprise further steps of comparing the number of sections in the processes, all section headers, or the contents of the processes in their entirety.

Title: Facilitating non-core network communications between a network element and a terminal device
Inventor: AWAD AKRAM JAMAL MASOUD
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2013-01-17
Abstract: A communications system is disclosed in which a network element comprises a control processor which supports the setting up of an air interface connection with a terminal device to communicate with a core network. In response receiving an instruction from the core network to release a connection to the terminal device, the network element maintains the connection to facilitate at least one non-core network communication between the network element and the terminal. The connection may be maintained by delaying forwarding an indication of the termination of the connection to the terminal. The extended time provided by the maintained connection is preferably used to collect measurements from the terminal device, for example, inter-RAT, intra-frequency or inter-frequency measurements. The terminal device may perform blind detection of a neighbour cell. The core network may be unaware of the non-core network communication. The system can be used to provide measurements to femtocells, picocells or small cells to support neighbour cell list optimisation. Also disclosed is a system in which a network element autonomously pages a terminal to create an air interface with the terminal, such that communication between the terminal and the network element is not initiated by the core network.

Title: Apparatus and method for multispectral imaging
Inventor: HOLLIDAY STUART
IPC: H04N5/33
Filed: 2013-03-15
Abstract: Multispectral imaging apparatus comprises at least two spaced apart imaging sensors, both operating at a first wavelength (e.g. visible or IR). An image combiner mixes images from the sensors (100 & 101) to provide a first scene image from a virtual viewpoint (102). A further imaging sensor (e.g. located equidistantly between the two spaced apart sensors) operates at a second wavelength (e.g. IR or visible) different from the first and provides a second scene image (104) from a second position. The first and second scene images are combined (105) to provide a multispectral image (106). The virtual viewpoint and the second position of the further sensor are identical spatial positions. Parallax in the combined multispectral image is therefore avoided.
