Patent GB-2412206-A (GB)
Title: Method of defending software from debugger attacks
Inventor: ROTHROCK LEWIS
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: Deterring an attack on a tamper-resistant application program may be accomplished by loading a plurality of agents and starting a plurality of processing threads, each thread executing one of the agents, concurrently executing each agent substantially in parallel to produce a processing result for each agent for an iteration of a stage of protocol processing, storing each processing result in an entry in a buffer associated with each agent, and repeating the executing and storing actions for multiple iterations of the protocol processing. When one of the agents stores a processing result in a last entry of the agent's buffer, the processing results from the first entries in the buffers are combined to produce a combined result, and if the combined result indicates an error, failure semantics may be executed.

Title: Housing for storage of excess length of cable.
Inventor: RUBENSTEIN BRANDON AARON
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2005-06-07
Abstract: A cable management device 10 has a housing 12 formed as a box structure with openings in opposite ends 14,16 of the box. The housing 12 allows excess length of a cable 104 to be fed into, and stored inside, the housing 12. The interior of the housing 12 has two cross members 24,26 mounted one on top of the other, around which the cable 104 is fed.

IPC: B05C5/00
Filed: 2004-09-17
Abstract: The invention provides an arc coating apparatus having a steering magnetic field source comprising steering conductors (62, 64, 66, 68) disposed along the short sides (32c, 32d) of a rectangular target (32) behind the target, and a magnetic focusing system disposed along the long sides (32a, 32b) of the target (32) in front of the target which confines the flow of plasma between magnetic fields generated on opposite long sides (32a, 32b) of the target (32). The plasma focusing system can be used to deflect the plasma flow off of the working axis of the cathode. Each steering conductor (62, 64, 66, 68) can be controlled independently. In a further embodiment, electrically independent steering conductors (62, 64, 66, 68) are disposed along opposite long sides (32a, 32b) of the cathode plate (32), and by selectively varying a current through one conductor, the path of the are spot shifts to widen the erosion corridor. The invention also provides a plurality of internal anodes, and optionally a surrounding anode for deflecting the plasma flow.

Patent GB-2443178-A (GB)
Title: Block code label
Inventor: AHMED ZAHIR
IPC: G09F3/02
Filed: 2006-10-23
Abstract: A block code, similar to bar code, has only two line widths, each corresponding to a different numerical value, which might be 1 and 5. Broadly speaking, the invention appears to be a combination of the Roman numeral system and a barcode, with a thin line representing the number 1, and a thick line representing the number 5, instead of the traditional I and V. A line of such patterns next to each other, separated by gaps, subsequently represents an overall number, or a number sequence. The advantage of such a system may be that the code can be read visually by a person, as well as by an electronic scanner.

Title: Paint roller tray for single use, made from impregnated cellulose
Inventor: SHAPKADJIEV JULIEN STEFANOV
IPC: B44D3/12
Filed: 2007-02-27
Abstract: A roller tray formed from impregnated, through various physical-chemical processes, cellulose comprises a flat surface of generally rectangular shape with an integral paint reservoir at front of the tray. In use, the roller is dipped into paint in the reservoir and rolled back and forth across the flat surface to squeeze off excess paint and to distribute the paint evenly across the roller surface. The roller is then ready to be rolled across a substrate to be painted so as to apply the paint thereto. Generally the flat surface of the tray is inclined slightly towards the reservoir so that paint squeezed from the roller flows back into the reservoir for future use. The Tray is for single use, recycled on disposable.

Title: Autonomous port role assignments in master-slave networks
Inventor: SAETTELE DIPI LNG PETER
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 2007-11-29
Abstract: The invention concerns configuring ports of radio equipments (RE) connected to an internal network of a base station of a mobile communications network, e.g. according to the common public radio interface (CPRI) specification. A method comprises: activating at least one port of the radio equipment (RE); changing the state of the port to a non-connected slave (NCS) state in which the port listens to a communication on a link of the internal network for a time period; and, upon detection the communication, changing the state of the port a connected slave state (CS), or upon expiry of the time period, changing the state to a non-connected master state (NCM). Hence, ports of the radio equipment are dynamically configurable as master or slave ports in reaction to the behaviour of the network. A port of a corresponding radio equipment controller (REC) may be configured in a wait state and to detect attempts for link set up of an RE physically connected to that port. Such an REC is well suited for use in an internal network having ring redundancy.

Title: Controlling user access to multiple domains on a terminal using a removable storage means
Inventor: PRIESTLEY MARK
IPC: G06F21/33
Filed: 2008-11-13
Abstract: A terminal having one or more domains D1, D2, D3, to which access is controlled by the presence of a removable attachment, particularly a smart card such as a SIM card or UICC. Authorisation data or information relating to such data may be stored on the removable storage device and used as part of a verification test. If the verification test generates a positive verification result, the removable storage device provides an indication of whether the user is authorised to access the one or more domains. Access to the one or more domains is thus controlled such that domains can only be activated when a SIM or other removable storage device is present. The present invention also relates to a removable attachment for use with such a terminal, and a method of providing functions trusted by a third party in the terminal, particularly a terminal for use with a cellular or mobile telecommunications network. The removable attachment provides single sign-on type functionality to multiple domains on a terminal wherein in one embodiment a single personal identity number (PIN) is required to provide access to the multiple passwords for the various domains stored on the removable attachment. In one embodiment the removable attachment is a SIM card and the terminal is a mobile terminal. The SIM card may further have a secure storage area which stores the multiple passwords (Fig. 4). Domains on the terminal include domains, user accounts, memory partitions, environments, executable engines or processors etc. Further embodiments relate to managing one or more executable engines on the terminal and to asserting ownership of one or more executable engines on the terminal.
