20090024825 | Real Time Paged Computing Device and Method of Operation - A component of a computing device, such as the kernel of an operating system, is arranged to identify real time processes running on the device and transparently lock the memory owned by such processes to avoid them being paged out. The kernel is also able to inspect all inter-process communications originated by the real time threads running in such processes, in order to ascertain what other processes they invoke, and, if they have the potential to block a real time operation, the kernel is arranged to lock the areas of memory these processes reference. This procedure operates recursively, and ensures that page faults which might affect the operation of any real time process do not occur. | 01-22-2009 |
20090100429 | Dual Mode Operating System For A Computing Device - A computing device which runs non-pageable real time and pageable non-real time processes is provided with non-pageable real time and pageable non-real time versions of operating system services where the necessity to page in memory would block a real-time thread of execution. In one embodiment, a real time operating system service has all its code and data locked, and only supports clients that similarly have their code and data locked. This ensures that such a service will not block due to a page fault caused by client memory being unavailable. A non-real time operating system service does not have its data locked and supports clients whose memory can be paged out. In a preferred embodiment servers which are required to provide real time behaviour are multithreaded and arrange for requests from real time and non-real time clients to be serviced in different threads. | 04-16-2009 |
20100251260 | PRE-EMPTIBLE CONTEXT SWITCHING IN A COMPUTING DEVICE - Context switching between threads belonging to different user-side processes is a time consuming procedure because of the need to move a potentially large number of memory mappings around and the need to flush the data cache on hardware architectures which utilise a virtually tagged data cache. This invention allows the modification of page directory entries and the flushing of the data cache during a context switch to occur with pre-emption enabled; if a third process needs to run during a context switch, and this third process doesn't own or require any user memory modification of the page tables, this is now possible. By means of this invention, switches to kernel threads and threads in fixed user processes can occur much faster; these threads don't belong to processes that own any user memory and are the very ones that need to run with a lower guaranteed latency to ensure real-time performance. | 09-30-2010 |
20100305936 | METHOD OF OPERATING A COMPUTING DEVICE THROUGH THE USE OF EXTENSIBLE THREAD STATES - A personality layer running above an operating system kernel puts any threads that the personality layer is responsible for into new states which the kernel does not know about. This prevents the kernel from performing operations on a thread which has been placed in one of these new states where these operations are sensitive to state of the thread itself (such as kill, suspend, change priority). Instead, the kernel redirects these thread operations to a handler in the personality layer which then handles the operation. The kernel is thus, in essence, extensible through the use of the added personality layers, and it can therefore be used to run legacy real-time applications written for other real-time operating systems. | 12-02-2010 |
20100305937 | COPROCESSOR SUPPORT IN A COMPUTING DEVICE - Coprocessor support on a computing device is provided by means of external modules attaching themselves to the operating system (OS) kernel controlling the device at system boot time, with the modules registering themselves as valid coprocessor handlers. Threads initially execute with coprocessors disabled; the consequent exceptions caused by executing coprocessor instructions are then passed to the relevant registered handler. The technique can be used either to support installed coprocessors or to emulate absent coprocessors. | 12-02-2010 |

20090055146 | Vanes for exposure to vibratory loading - Disclosed are methods for designing vanes that, in use, are expected to be exposed to vibratory loading, in particular rotor or stator vanes for aero engines or turbomachinery. A quantitative characteristic (modeshape) is used which is a measure of correlation between the excitation force to which the vane is to be subjected in use and a vibrational mode of the vane, corresponding to a characteristic frequency of the excitation. The modeshape of the first design is determined. Then the first design is modified to give a second design, by one or more of leaning, sweeping or twisting the blade design, or by altering the local shape of the design, or by altering the material of the design. Then the modeshape of the second design is determined. The design modification gives rise to a reduction in the forced response levels. | 02-26-2009 |

20120017222 | Interface For Telecommunication Services Using Uniform Resource Identifiers - An application programming interface (API) provides telecommunication services in the form of a resource modeled as an object, which object can be essentially any coherent and meaningful concept that may be addressed. The API model permits simpler and more intuitive invocation and usage of the API. The object model for the API avoids having to understand service infrastructure for proper API invocation and tends to increase the usability of the service represented by the API. With the object-modeled resource, the device can be made to appear to an application programmer as a webpage, so that interacting with the device is the same as interacting with a webpage, such as by utilizing HTTP requests and responses. The object-model API can increase the ease with which an application programmer can utilize the services offered, as well as increase the ease with which the API may be integrated into an overall communication system. | 01-19-2012 |
