Title: Metal printer
Inventor: MICHAEL JOSEPH DUTTON
IPC: B33Y30/00
Filed: 2015-04-28
Abstract: A 3D printer assembly and a method of printing a 3D component from a filler material where the assembly consists of a laser head 400 and a printer head 300, both of which are controlled by a controller (200, Fig 1). The laser head 400 supplies a laser pulse 700 (and may also supply a second laser pulse) to the filler material which may comprise a wire or aluminium alloy. The controller may be able to reposition the printer head or laser head, as well as potentially modifying the length, energy or frequency of the laser pulse. It is possible that the assembly could print a temporary substrate first on which the 3D article may be printed. Additionally the assembly may include a gas outlet (324, Fig 5) to deliver gas and also a second gas outlet in communication with the laser guide to isolate the laser head from the printer head. If a gas supply is used then there may also be a chamber to enclose the gas. The laser supply may also include a laser guide (Fig 12, 330b) and the printer head could have an aperture (Fig 12, 318b) in order to receive the laser.

Title: Omni directional wave energy extraction apparatus and method
Inventor: PECHLIVANIDES PANTELIS
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2014-06-06
Abstract: A wave energy converter (1) consisting of a pole (2) with a wave catching structure (9) connected to a base (7) through a ball or universal joint (6). The pole oscillates as the waves hit the different sides of the wave catching structure. The pole is biased towards the vertical position. The motion of the pole activates devices for absorption and extraction of energy such as piston cylinders (3) with one end attached to the pole and the other to the base (7) by ball or universal joints (4) and (5), which also restrict the motion of the pole along specific meridians by use of appropriate hydraulic components. The possibility of motion of the wave catching structure along the pole increases the absorption of wave energy. Being able to exploit waves from any direction and also to assume a floating form, it is suitable for both deep and shallow waters.

Title: Invalidation of translation look-aside buffer entries by a guest operating system
Inventor: SHAKTI KAPOOR
IPC: G06F12/1027
Filed: 2016-10-03
Abstract: A guest Operating System 108A receives from a hypervisor 102 one or more invalidation credits (202, figure 2), which may be loaded into a special purpose register SPR, for invalidating translation entries in a Translation Lookaside Buffer 114. Guest OS 108A decrements the number of invalidation credits by one after invalidating a translation entry in the TLB 114 and, upon determining that no invalidation credits remain, requests additional credits from the hypervisor 102. The guest OS 108A may correspond to a virtual machine VM using a processor and may invalidate the translation entry in the TLB 114 upon switching between executing first and second processes. Based on use of invalidation credits, hypervisor 102 may determine whether guest OS 108A is a rogue OS, presents security risks to other operating systems or is participating in a denial of service DOS attack. Hypervisor 102 may quarantine the OS, deny further allocation of credits, restrict or prevent access to software or hardware or report the guest OS 108A to an administrator.
