Title: Modeling data centre power consumption to determine if a physical server can be virtualized
Inventor: GHASSEMIAN MONA
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2010-11-04
Abstract: The power consumption of a data centre including a physical infrastructure with physical servers is estimated, non-intrusively without having to install additional hardware and/or software in the data centre. Software specification data is then used to determine if a physical server can be virtualized. If it is determined that it can, a model of the virtualized environment is used to estimate the new level of power consumption and is compared to the power consumption of the physical infrastructure. A proposed virtualization can be tested using a test bed, for example to test stability, compatibility and power consumption. At least some degree of virtualization of the data centre can then be carried out if required. Estimating the power consumption may include the power consumption of cooling apparatus. The proposed method may also estimate the carbon dioxide emissions of the data centre.

Title: Erasing process for a removable storage medium
Inventor: GAO JIE
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2011-03-15
Abstract: A computer-implemented method that enables an operation relative to a removable storage medium (200, Fig. 2), such as a USB memory or an SD card, Secure Digital, RTM, connected with a computer (100, Figure 2), comprising: obtaining an erasing flag to be set to the removable storage medium (200, Figure 2) on the basis of a predetermined rule, such as user instructions or time passed, when the removable storage medium is connected; obtaining a connection time when the removable storage medium is connected; and identifying whether a program being activated on the computer is an erasing program for erasing data stored in the removable storage medium. The computer-implemented method enables concealing, if the erasing flag is on and the program activated is not the erasing program, and classifies data to be erased on the basis of the connection time included in the data stored in the removable storage medium. Stored data can be deleted, for example, the last update time is earlier than the connection time. The user instruction can be an erasing button (20, Figure 2). The invention prevents files from flowing out, i.e. information leakage, in case of loss or theft of the medium.

Title: Cooperative sensing in a cognitive radio communications system
Inventor: PANAITOPOL DORIN
IPC: H04W16/14
Filed: 2011-06-22
Abstract: A cognitive radio system is provided comprising a master node and a plurality of sensor nodes. The master node acquires information relating to the sensor nodes (such as location); determines if the sensor nodes are likely to produce correlated signal measurements within an operating frequency band, using the received information; and groups the sensor nodes into a plurality of clusters so that sensor nodes that are likely to produce signal measurements that are correlated are in the same cluster and so that sensor nodes that are unlikely to produce signal measurements that are correlated are in different clusters. The master node assigns a respective different sensing sub-band B1-B4 to each sensor node within a cluster. A more accurate detection of primary user transmissions is achieved because a narrow band is sensed by a number of uncorrelated sensor nodes.

Title: Processing Colour Information in an Image Comprising Colour Component Sample Prediction Being Based on Colour Sampling Format
Inventor: GISQUET CHRISTOPHE
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2011-06-22
Abstract: Image colour information is processed, the image being composed of at least one first colour component and at least one second colour component, wherein samples of the first component and the second component are arranged according to a colour sampling format (e.g. 4:2:0, 4:2:2 or 4:4:4), and wherein samples of the second component are predictable from samples of the first component. Colour information representative of the colour sampling format is provided, a prediction process for predicting samples of the second component from samples of the first component is determined based on the provided colour information and the determined prediction process is performed on samples of the first colour component to predict samples of the second colour component. As the prediction process takes into account the information relating to the colour sampling format, the process is not restricted to any particular format and consequently different formats may be processed. The processing may form part of encoding an image.

Title: A system for automatic agricultural reporting
Inventor: O'NEIL CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06Q50/02
Filed: 2011-07-13
Abstract: A system for automatic agricultural reporting comprises an apparatus data unit (ADU) 110 configured to capture and transmit apparatus 105 location and state data to a central inventory system (CIS) 115, preferably embodied as a central server. The ADU can be a telemetry unit including geographical positioning. Communication can be over a local area network or a wide area network and may be wireless. The CIS converts the apparatus data to agricultural elements that can be mapped to a business state for a particular field 107. The CIS can provide a report of the field business state to an administrative service for scheduling or billing purposes. The invention provides a layer of abstraction so that a report recipient need not have familiarity with agricultural terms in order to perform administrative tasks related to field and fleet management. The invention enables resource management and billing services to be performed in a timely, efficient and accurate manner.

Title: Method and system for pipelining out of order instructions by combining short latency instructions to match long latency instructions
Inventor: BAROWSKI HARRY
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2012-06-26
Abstract: An improved system (1) for pipelining out-of-order instructions combines short latency instructions into an instruction chain to match the latency of an instruction having a second latency type. The instructions care then issued together to the short instruction pipelines (30 & 40) whilst long instructions are issued to a long pipeline (50). Timing of the write back (WB) slot of the longer instruction issued to the long pipeline (50) is used to write a value to the register (10). Dependencies between short instructions are solved by forwarding data from the first instruction to the second instruction. Output from the second instruction can be written back to the register (10) or held in an auxiliary buffer before writing to the register when the register becomes available.

Title: Investigating a subterranean annulus using a radiation detector to identify a substance
Inventor: SMAARDYK JOHN E
IPC: E21B43/04
Filed: 2012-12-18
Abstract: A method of investigating a wellbore 402 by directing radiation from source 428 within a tubular 412. Radiation is directed along a path oblique to an axis of the tubular, so that radiation passes through the tubular into an annulus 422 around the tubular and scatters back into the tubular. The radiation is detected by detectors 426 and a material in the annulus is identified based on the rate of detection of radiation, or count rate. There may be a second set of radiation directed along a second path, and the thickness of the annulus may vary around its circumference. A fluid may be identified when a ratio of the rate of detection of radiation reduces with reducing thickness. A second invention relates to a gamma ray source in a logging instrument where scattered rays are classified. A third invention relates to downhole imaging using a baseline image and an updated image.
