Title: Content service bus framework
Inventor: RANGARAJAN ANURADHA
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 2011-02-21
Abstract: Electronic content is routed and stored within an enterprise, in which a distributed service-oriented architecture platform is provided to seamlessly route and store content to heterogeneous enterprise content repositories. Dynamic content may be stored, retrieved and queried in real-time through a content service bus (CSB), thus eliminating the need to have point-to-point connectivity between client applications and the destination repositories, while supporting the flexibility to consolidate multiple platforms with minimal impacts to clients. The CSB framework may incorporate underlying technologies, including Web services, intelligent routing based on content, message transformation, and federation of content. A request may be routed to the appropriate content repository based on attached content or metadata in the request and transformed by the CSB to a format required by the determined content repository. The requestor is subsequently provided a response from the content repository in a consistent manner for all of the content repositories.

Title: Circuit breaker with hybrid switch
Inventor: NIEHOFF RONALDUS HENDRIKUS MARIA
IPC: H02H3/02
Filed: 2013-08-30
Abstract: An alternating current circuit breaker comprising a live line, a neutral line, galvanic separation switches SW2, SW3 and a hybrid switch comprising a semiconductor switch element connected parallel to a bypass switch SW1. The semiconductor switch element further comprises a rectifier bride D1-D4 and isolated gate bipolar transistor IGBT. A processing unit controls all switch elements and is also connected to a current measurement unit R1 in the live line, which detects the presence of a short circuit. During a short circuit, the processing unit opens bypass switch SW1, redirected the short circuit current through the IGBT. The rising current causes a rising voltage drop across the IGBT, which begins to go into saturation, at which point an IGBT driver circuit will turn off the IGBT at zero crossing of the mains voltage after a short time delay. During reconnection, the IGBT is switched on again at zero crossing and the bypass switch SW1 is closed after a short time delay. This hybrid switch is able to disconnect many more short circuits with low heat dissipation than conventional breaker systems. The system is also able to distinguish between genuine short circuits and inrush currents.

Patent GB-2525191-A (GB)
Title: Transaction identification and recognition
Inventor: ROBERTS DAVE
IPC: G06Q20/04
Filed: 2014-04-14
Abstract: Where dynamic data is used in transaction verification, such as in contactless mag-stripe transactions, a specific transaction identifier may not be transmitted or preserved throughout the system so cannot be used to reconcile transaction data at a digital enablement service (DES) 17 and an electronic receipt generated separately. Thus the invention comprises a means to match the data and the receipt by receiving at a merchant terminal 4 verification information including multiple transaction specific elements, each of which is used to generate a transaction identifier. Transaction authorisation is processed, data being received at the DES which generates a DES transaction identifier. This may be a simple hash if one transaction identifier was received or a composite identifier generated by truncating and concatenating multiple transaction identifiers. In the case of contactless mag-stripe transactions one of the transaction identifiers will at this stage be incorrect. The merchant system also sends electronic receipt data and the transaction identifiers to an electronic receipt system 8. The user device 1 receives data from the DES and sends the DES transaction identifier to the electronic receipt system which, if necessary, splits the concatenated transaction identifier and checks each portion until a matching identifier with associated receipt is found and returned to the user device 1.
