Title: Operating a network node
Inventor: SALEM AMIN AL-DAMLUJI
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-10-12
Abstract: A session initiation protocol {SIP) message directed towards a downstream network element 106 is received at a network node 104. The received message comprises session description protocol (SDP) data. The received SIP message is forwarded on to the downstream network element 106 with no modifications. In response to forwarding the received SIP message, a rejection message is received from the downstream network element indicating rejection because the SDP data comprised no SDP preconditions. A second SIP message comprising SDP preconditions is transmitted to the downstream network element 106. If the rejection message indicates rejection due to one or more SDP preconditions in the SIP message, a third SDP message comprising no SDP preconditions is transmitted to the downstream network element 106.

Title: Trailing or leading digit anticipator
Inventor: FREDDIE RUPERT EXALL
IPC: G06F5/01
Filed: 2015-09-10
Abstract: Estimating the number of leading zeros in the result of a fixed or floating point operation using a trailing or leading digit anticipator. The method involves the creation of a “surrogate string”, labelled as e_y. This is done by first creating an encoded string where the two inputs are combined using propagate, generate and zero functions, or operations, and the string c is encoded as p, g or z, depending if a one appeared in that position from the respective operation. Groups, or windows, of three bits are then iteratively analysed, as shown in tables 802 and 804 to determine if the likely outcome would be a zero or a one. The resulting string is then used to predict the number of leading zeros from the fixed or floating point operation. The ith bit of a surrogate string is set to a high value when the corresponding window of the encoded input string comprises a patter that always indicates one of the ith bit and the (i+1)th bit of the result of the arithmetic operation will be high.

Title: Position measurement using squeezed light
Inventor: VINCENT BOYER
IPC: G02F1/35
Filed: 2019-10-23
Abstract: Nonlinear medium 104 and photon beam 102 interact to give probe beam 106 and conjugate beam 108 having photon positions in continuous-variable entanglement. Beam guiding means 110 causes the probe and entangled conjugate beams to coincide (perhaps by overlapping or converging) as composite beam 112 at movable object 114. Quantum fluctuations in spatial intensity of the composite beam are squeezed to be symmetric with respect to the composite beam centre. Reflected composite beam 116 is split (e.g. by a splitter or by diverging) into first and second portions in which movement of the object varies the proportion of power. Photodetection means 118 (e.g. a balanced split photodetector) measures, and outputs signal 120 indicative of, these proportions. Symmetrical quantum fluctuations of spatial intensity in the first and second portions cancel each other, reducing the shot noise floor of the signal. The movable object may be an atomic force microscope cantilever mirror.

Title: A method for monitoring a project
Inventor: Keano Chang
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2020-06-04
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for monitoring the initiation, progression and completion of a project by allowing customer creation of a project profile 101; associating a service provider with the profile 102; and providing a project pathway having at least one project milestone 103. The pathway is then associated with the profile 104; the pathway and profile are recorded on a central resource 105; and the completion of the milestone is recorded on the resource 106. The completion of the milestone is then cross-checked with a reference source 107. The method may allow service providers to bid to become associated with the project (304; Fig 3), and the customer can then choose which providers they want to be associated (306; Fig 3). The agreement of the customer and provider may also be recorded. An alert may be issued in the milestone is not completed by a deadline; the deadline may also be stored on the central resource. The reference source may be the central resource, and may comprise information provided by the customer, the service provider of a quality controller. The method provides reliable recording and monitoring of a project’s progress, enables oversight of potential issues which may occur in the future.

Title: System and method for fine-tuning sales clusters for stores
Inventor: Somedip Karmakar
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2018-12-17
Abstract: Based upon the transition information for all the retail stores, a determination is made of an average cluster retention score. The average cluster retention score is a measure of how many retail stores have moved from original to different existing sales clusters in the current sales period. When the average cluster retention score is below a predetermined threshold, a complete re-organization of the existing sales clusters is performed. When the average cluster retention score is above the predetermined threshold, a determination is made as to whether each retail store should be re-classified.

Title: Detector and method for measuring a resistance of a variable resistance sensor whose resistance varies with respect to a time-varying stimulus.
Inventor: CORY JAY PETERSON
IPC: H03M1/18
Filed: 2020-07-28
Abstract: The resistance of a variable resistance sensor (VRS) may vary with respect to a time-varying stimulus (e.g., temperature). The disclosed VRS resistance detector circuit includes a voltage reference and a linearized digital-to-analog converter (LIDAC) having a known transconductance that uses the voltage reference to generate a current for pumping into a VRS to cause the VRS to generate a voltage sensed by the detector. The sensed voltage may include error due to variation of the voltage reference. The detector also includes a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) that gains up the sensed voltage to generate an output signal, an ADC that converts the output signal to a digital value, and a digital processor that computes the resistance of the VRS using the digital value and the known transconductance. The PGA is non-varying with respect to the time-varying stimulus. The LIDAC current source may be calibrated to generate a value of current through the VRS that initially generates a value of sensed voltage close to a target voltage that is a common mode voltage of the PGA. Also disclosed is the use of two reference voltages that vary according to operating conditions and the removal of errors by ratiometric methods.
