Title: Processor which can conditionally inhibit trap, interrupt or exception events but inhibition means are not accessible by a running program
Inventor: MORFEY ALISTAIR GUY
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2007-04-10
Abstract: Disclosed is a processor with means for conditionally inhibiting trap, interrupt or exception (TIE) events. When operating under a sequence of instructions or program, the inhibition means is inaccessible by the instructions to inhibit the TIE events, without interrupting the running program. The processor may be able to configure the inhibitor during its initialisation. The inhibitor may be configured to allow the TIE event only after a privileged stack is initialised. The processor may configure the inhibitor to inhibit the TIE events when the processor is reset. The processor may configure the inhibitor when a particular type of event, such as an interrupt, is initiated. The instruction set of the processor may include a return from TIE instruction for execution during the processing of a TIE event to resume processing when the event has been completed. The inhibition means may be a portion of memory with an enable field having conditions in which the TIE events are inhibited ie disabled or allowed ie enabled.

Title: Authentication in Wireless Personal Area Networks
Inventor: DANGOOR YEHEZKEL
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A trust centre 310 requests (425, fig.4) a key stored at a security server 340 in order to authenticate new devices (330, eg. telephones, PDA's) joining a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) under the ZigBee (RTM) protocol. This allows unique link keys in a Symmetric-Key Key Establishment (SKKE) procedure to be sent to a joining device securely (445, fig. 4) without the need for a single, inflexible, pre-configured master key. The method also allows the device to authenticate the trust centre in a two-way authentication, by concatenating the initial challenge (435 fig.4) with a random challenge of its own (440). The device keys are stored in a configuration interface (810, fig. 8) which is coupled to trust centre 840 either wirelessly or via a bus, and the trust centre and security server may be combined in a single network manager (1060, fig. 10).

Title: Method and system for distributing software to a portable device using software on a pre-recorded medium.
Inventor: PORTER ROBERT MARK STEFAN
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2007-08-31
Abstract: A method for distributing software to a portable device 50 uses software recorded on a medium (51, 53) to establish a connection with a multi-cast network. Following connection to the network supplemental display data is received by the client device and stored in the client device. Software on the medium is then run to graphically display the stored supplemental data. This may be in the form of an interpreter with the supplemental data written in a corresponding markup language. The software on the medium may comprise an interface skeleton which when loaded provides a user interface. The supplemental data may then provide a user interface skin for use by the skeleton. In a specific embodiment, the pre-recorded medium may allow a user to connect over a wireless network to a server providing highlights streamed from a football match.

Patent GB-2462313-A (GB)
Title: Organic electroluminescent device
Inventor: NEWSOME CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H01L51/52
Filed: 2008-08-01
Abstract: The device comprises a layer of non-switchable polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) to scatter light emitted from the organic electroluminescent layer. The scattering layer reduces internal reflection and thereby increases output light extraction efficiency. The scattering efficiency of the PDLC layer is influenced by the degree of alignment of the liquid crystals, the thickness of the PDLC layer, the size of the liquid crystal droplets, the volume fraction of liquid crystals in the polymer matrix, and the difference in refractive index of the liquid crystals and the polymer matrix.
