Title: Data backup recovery
Inventor: BEEKEN CHRISTOPHER BARRY EDGAR
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2013-01-17
Abstract: Recovering a data backup comprising a data image and a point-in-time copy of the data image. Provided is a virtual data image disk for storing a copy of the data image and a virtual snapshot disk for storing data of the point-in-time copy. The data image is copied 402 from a backup to the virtual data image disk and data from the point-in-time copy of the data image is copied 402 to the virtual snapshot disk. It is then determined 407 if the data of the point-in-time copy exists in the virtual data image disk and if it does not then copying 410 data from the point-in-time copy to the virtual snapshot disk and so avoiding data replication they by reducing the amount of storage space used. If it is determined that the data already exists in the virtual data image disk then the virtual snapshot disk is mapped 412 to that data of the virtual image disk.

Title: Spatially correlated dynamic focussing
Inventor: JEFFERY MARK BROWN
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2014-03-05
Abstract: A time of flight mass analyzer is disclosed comprising a device arranged to apply a DC voltage pulse to one or more electrodes so as to cause ions to be orthogonally accelerated into a TOF or drift region, said DC pulse being applied to said electrodes between times T1 and T2. A second device is arranged to apply a single phase oscillating voltage to said electrodes which undergoes multiple oscillations between times T1 and T2, and preferably comprises a sinusoidal, sawtooth or triangular waveform. The application of the DC pulse and oscillating voltage to said electrodes establishes a homogeneous electric field having a net force towards the drift region. The oscillating voltage also causes ions to experience a spatially correlated energy deviation so as to reduce second or higher order spatial focusing aberrations. Alternatively, said aberrations may be reduced by applying an oscillating voltage to one or more electrodes in said TOF or drift region.

Patent GB-2546286-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus and method of image rendering
Inventor: Guillaume Marie Boisse
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2016-01-13
Abstract: Image rendering comprises representing (s710) a height map of terrain elevation data as a virtual texture and sampling (s720) a portion of the data on a uniform grid corresponding to render nodes used for terrain mesh rendering. Grid to nodes correspondence results in the sampled data for a node being contained in one physical memory page. Equivalent position of a height map virtual co-ordinate in a memory page is therefore obtained using an offset to a physical page co-ordinate, rather than using an indirection texture. Terrain mesh for a render node is thereby rendered (s730) according to terrain elevation data obtained from a single memory page corresponding to respective virtual co­ordinates. The render nodes may all have identical vertex resolution, but have a render size based upon the texel data resolution, and may be gathered using a quad-tree recursive algorithm. When height map data at a first level of detail is requested, height map data for coarser LOD is also requested so that if expected render mode data is unavailable, coarser LOD data may be used, while an expected data request is sent. A decorative graphics virtual texture for the terrain mesh may be generated procedurally.

Title: A method for detecting a live adaptive BIT rate stream
Inventor: DECLAN HARRISON
IPC: H04N21/2343
Filed: 2016-07-15
Abstract: A method for classifying a data flow, which is being downloaded to a client (102) over a data network (106, 108) from at least a first server (110), as being a live Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) stream. An intermediate network entity (104), between the client and the first server in the network, monitors a sequence of requests in respect of the data flow sent from the client and a corresponding sequence of responses sent to the client that pass through the intermediate entity. The monitoring comprises measuring a data size of each response in the sequence of responses and determining that the sequence of responses comprises a pattern of responses that is consistent with that expected of a live ABR stream, viz. a manifest file of a first size, followed by a number of chunks of a selected video stream of a second size, followed by an updated manifest file, and so on. The dataflow is then classified in response to said determination, as being a live Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) stream.
