Title: Database management system
Inventor: MITTELSTADT ROGER ALAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2012-10-01
Abstract: Method comprising: in response to receiving a first command specifying first data, first cryptographic key, and column identifier of a column (field, attribute) 330 of rows (individual entry, tuple, record) in table 235 of a database 220, the first data is encrypted using the cryptographic key. The encrypted data is stored to a first row in the column. Characterization data 242 (bitmap, hash, checksum) is also created specifying valid contents of the column of rows. In response to receiving a query command specifying a second cryptographic key and the column 330, the column is decrypted using the second key to create decrypted data. If decrypted data does not satisfy the valid contents specified by the characterization data, an invalid cryptographic key action is performed. Characterisation data comprises one occurrence of each character present in the column of rows and a range of the valid contents of the column of rows.

Title: A caster device with a directional mechanism
Inventor: ZHU WANQUAN
IPC: B60B33/02
Filed: 2013-07-25
Abstract: The present invention discloses a caster device comprising a column, a wheel module and a directional mechanism. The wheel module is pivoted on the column. The directional mechanism includes a directional component movably disposed inside the wheel module and detachably engaged with the column. A moving direction of the directional component is intersected with a pivoting axis of the wheel module. Because the moving direction of the directional component of the present invention is intersected with the pivoting axis of the wheel module, the column is locked well, so as to result in a better orientation effect by using the directional mechanism. The directional component is movably disposed inside the wheel module, so that the directional component is intersected with the pivoting axis of the wheel module rapidly, so as to increase an operating efficiency for orientation.

Title: Using secondary/partial puncture patterns when output data size is not an integer multiple of primary puncture pattern size
Inventor: TONG FEI
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2013-07-26
Abstract: The invention proposes a puncturing scheme, with embodiments directed to some adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) indexes of the IEEE 802.11ac specification. Where the number of encoded data bits that can transmitted (e.g. in an OFDM symbol) is not an integer multiple of the number of punctured bits produced by a puncturing block the invention determines another puncturing pattern to produce bits for the residual bit positions. The other puncture pattern may produce a different puncture/code rate from the primary puncture pattern. In the figure data is 2/1 encoded and then K 10 bit encoded blocks are punctured to produce K 6 bit punctured blocks. These are to be transmitted on M 416 bit OFDM symbols (eg. 52 off 256 QAM sub-carriers). Where (416*M)/6 produces a remainder, a secondary puncture pattern provides the necessary 2 or 4 bits.

Title: A method of compressing an ion beam
Inventor: KEVIN GILES
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2015-06-09
Abstract: A method of mass or ion mobility spectrometry comprises releasing ions from an ion trapping volume 4 into an ion separation region 2, separating the ions according to a physicochemical property (e.g. ion mobility or mass to charge ratio), and compressing the ion beam in a direction orthogonal to the direction of separation either during or after separation. The compressed or focused ion beam may be transmitted through an ion acceptance aperture 6 such that the initial width of the ion beam is greater than the width of the aperture. In an embodiment, the times at which the separated ions exit the ion separation region is not used to determine the value of the physicochemical property. Concentric ring electrodes may be arranged on a wall around the aperture to provide the focusing potential. The method enables the ions to be focussed without increasing the charge density and causing space-charge effects.
