Title: Providing isolated entropy elements
Inventor: BACHER UTZ
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2013-10-10
Abstract: By assigning an identifier to each entropy element, these may be provided to a selected virtual machine on a hypervisor. The entropy element may be generated by the hypervisor based on triggers related to one selected virtual machine. Restricting use of the entropy elements for the selected virtual machine, reduces the risk of attack that might reduce variation in the random entropy generated for example by incoming traffic, click events or the like. Time stamps may be used in an entropy pool for the hypervisor. A quality parameter for the verification environment for register transfer may be determined.

Title: Expandable seal with conforming ribs
Inventor: BAILEY WILLIAM M
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 2012-06-15
Abstract: Expandable seals have one or more conforming ribs to facilitate creation of a seal to a sealing surface disposed in the well. The conforming ribs comprise a core of material either capped, partially covered by, or entirely covered by a ring. The ring can be formed of a metal that is softer than the metallic core material of each rib. Suitable metals forming the rings include copper formed by metal spun methods. Disposed adjacent to the rings are one or more sealing elements. By moving the rings into the sealing surface during expansion of the expandable seals, the rings close the extrusion gaps between the internal surface of the casing and the expanded tubular member ribs. The rings better conform to the sealing surface of the casing, thereby facilitating the creation of the seal between this sealing surface and each of the sealing elements.

Title: An optical device
Inventor: MARTIN CHARLTON
IPC: H01L31/055
Filed: 2014-12-05
Abstract: An optoelectronic device employs optically responsive nanoparticles 106 and utilises a non-radiative energy transfer mechanism.The nanoparticles are disposed in proximity to a window layer 105 of a photovoltaic device in order to extract light energy absorbed by the window layer and recycle it to an energy absorbing region of the photovoltaic device electronic structure. The energy is transferred from the window layer to the nanoparticles non-radiatively through non-contact dipole-dipole interaction and is emitted luminescently by the nanoparticles at a longer wavelength that can be absorbed in the energy absorbing region. The luminescent downshifting technique finds particular application in light harvesting devices, such as photovoltaic (solar) cells.

Title: Signal processing apparatus and method
Inventor: MIKE NEWMAN
IPC: G06F17/14
Filed: 2015-02-13
Abstract: Transforms of discrete data between domains are generally achieved by fast transform. Effective transform results are obtained by transforming a large set of data points into a correspondingly large result set. To do this, the transform is conducted in stages. Atleast one of these stages employs an estimator 20 which exhibits robustness against outliers (e.g. noise, interference, spikes, non-Gaussian effects) in input data. In one embodiment a signal processor unit 10 is operable to receive a plurality of time domain data points Di to be transformed into frequency spectrum data points Sj. Transformation is achieved by using a plurality of robust discrete Fourier transform (DFT) units 20 (estimator), each of which is applied to three of the data elements Di and each of which outputs three intermediate values Yj which are then transformed by fast Fourier transform units 22 into the spectrum values Sj. Each transform stage may be operable to apply a fast Fourier-related transform comprising one of a Fast Fourier transform, a Fast Hadamard transform, a Fast discrete cosine transform, a Fast discrete sine transform, a Fast wavelet transform or a Fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform.
