Title: Mode-locking semiconductor disk laser (SDL)
Inventor: HAMILTON CRAIG JAMES
IPC: H01S5/14
Filed: 2013-10-29
Abstract: The present invention describes a mode locking semiconductor disk laser (SDL) 4. The laser comprises a resonator terminated by first 6 and second 7 mirrors and folded by a third mirror. The third mirror comprising a semiconductor disk laser (SDL) 8 suitable for generating a resonator field comprising a predetermined central wavelength Î»0 while the second mirror comprising an intensity saturable mirror suitable for mode locking the resonator field at the predetermined wavelength. The reflectivity of the of the resonator at the central wavelength Î»0 is reduced by shifting the reflectivity profiles of the first and or second mirrors to wavelength shorter than the predetermined wavelength so as to suppress gain at wavelengths longer than the central wavelength Î»0. By mismatching the reflectivity profile of the first and or second mirrors to that of the desired output wavelength provides a stable mode locked laser with significantly reduced noise.

Title: Preventing browser-originating attacks in a local area network
Inventor: DAAVID HENTUNEN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-07-14
Abstract: Preventing browser-originating attacks in a Local Area Network by rejecting or suspending the transmission of a connection request message Attacks, in particular browser port scanning attacks originating from a browser of a first LAN-connected device 100, are prevented by intercepting a connection request message to a second LAN-connected device 200, parsing the message to identify an address of a website that caused the browser to generate the request, and rejecting or suspending transmission of the message if the address is not trusted. Checking if the address, which may be an IP address or a URL, is trusted comprises determining if it is an address within the LAN, or in a database of trusted external network addresses. The request may be an HTTP request wherein the address is the content of an identified Referrer field, without which the message proceeds. The prevention may be implemented by a browser plugin on the first device, or at a network traffic analyser within the LAN, or partially by a network server. If the address is not trusted, the user of the first device may be prompted to approve the request before continuing with the establishment of the connection.
