20120185953 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DESIGNATING AND HANDLING CONFIDENTIAL MEMORY ALLOCATIONS - Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for designating and handling confidential memory allocations of virtual memory. In particular, the operating system provides a memory allocation flag that applications may use to indicate any arbitrary area of physical memory marked with this flag may contain confidential data and should be handled accordingly. The operating system also ensures that memory allocated with this flag can be placed in physical memory. When freeing up memory, the operating system protects any data in the memory allocated with this flag. For example, the operating system may prevent the confidential memory from being swapped out to storage or from being accessible to other applications, such as debuggers. Alternatively, the operating system may encrypt any data in the confidential memory before it is swapped out to storage. | 07-19-2012 |

20100148760 | ROTATING MACHINE SENSOR - A speed sensor for use in measuring the speed of rotation of a rotationally salient rotating member The speed sensor comprises an electrode and a sensor circuit. The sensor circuit comprises a constant voltage source for supplying a voltage to the electrode to generate an electric field in a dielectric medium. A current detector detects current flow between the constant voltage source and the electrode due to perturbation of the electric field by passage of at least one salient feature of the rotating member through the electric field as the rotating member rotates. The current detector outputs a first signal modulated at a frequency corresponding to the frequency of perturbation of the electric field. The first signal is amplified to produce an amplified signal modulated at a frequency corresponding to the frequency of perturbation of the electric field. The electrode voltage, the amplifier gain and the electrode position relative to the rotating member are selected such that modulation of the second signal is predominantly caused by perturbation of the electric field within the dielectric medium by the creation and/or movement of ions within the field. | 06-17-2010 |

20100011868 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF A ROTARY MEMBER - The speed of rotation of a rotary member such as a compressor or turbine wheel of a turbocharger is determined by directing an ultrasonic signal into a blade cavity and receiving the reflected signal, which is amplitude modulated by virtue of the passage of the blades across the ultrasonic transducer. The received signal is demodulated to determine the frequency of amplitude modulation of the received signal caused by passage of blades between the first and second locations. This enables the speed of rotation to be calculated. The performance of the turbocharger can thus be optimised in the context of the overall engine system via an engine control module. | 01-21-2010 |

20100119355 | CALIBRATION OF AN ACTUATOR FOR A VARIABLE GEOMETRY TURBINE - A variable geometry turbine of the kind used in a turbocharger has a variable geometry element such as a nozzle ring or an annular array of swing vanes that is operated by an actuator. The actuator has an output shaft coupled to a transmission mechanism for moving the variable geometry element. A rotary sensor device coupled to the output shaft of the actuator has a sensor wheel with a stop, slip clutch mechanism and a rotary position sensor. The device converts movement of the actuator output shaft into rotation of the wheel and the sensor generates an output signal representative of the rotary position of the wheel to provide a value indicative of the position of the variable geometry element. The actuator is calibrated to the position of the variable geometry element by rotating the sensor wheel in a first rotational direction until the variable geometry element reaches the first limit position, then rotating the sensor wheel in a second direction until the variable geometry element reaches the second limit position. The value of said output signal is logged at one of these positions as a limit value. The sensor wheel is allowed to declutch in the event that it encounters the stop in either direction of rotation. The output signal is monitored and the limit value is deducted to determine the position of the variable geometry element. | 05-13-2010 |

20130090374 | METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF TAY-SACHS DISEASE, SANDHOFF DISEASE, AND GM1-GANGLIOSIDOSIS - The present disclosure provides methods for the treatment of lysosomal storage disorders using gene replacement therapy. In particular, methods are provided for the treatment of Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff Disease, and GM1-gangliosidosis using enzyme replacement therapy. Expression constructs encoding enzymes required for ganglioside metabolism are delivered to the brain of subjects with an enzyme deficiency. Methods are also provided for delaying the onset of, reducing the likelihood of onset of, or reducing the severity of Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff Disease, and GM1-gangliosidosis. | 04-11-2013 |

20100130796 | HEATER SUITABLE FOR USE IN A PRECONCENTRATOR DEVICE - Improved micro machined (MEMs scale) heaters, which are particularly suitable for use in MEMs scale preconcentrators. Preferably the heater possess a trapping medium, in particular a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs). There is further provided devices comprising the preconcentrator, and methods of preparation and use. There is particular benefit directed to the use of a MEMs scale heater coated with the PIMs for use in hand-held or field portable chemical detection devices. The heater comprises a number of electrically conducting paths which have been engineered so that the electrical resistance of all the electrically conducting paths are substantially equal, to provide a more uniform heat distribution. | 05-27-2010 |

20120145407 | METHOD OF CONNECTING A FLEXIBLE RISER TO AN UPPER RISER ASSEMBLY - A method is described for connecting a flexible upper riser part to a lower riser part via an upper riser assembly supporting a lower riser termination. The method includes securing a cable linkage to a riser connector at the lower end of the flexible upper riser part. The method includes operating a winching means on the upper riser assembly to wind in the cable linkage and draw the riser connector into a docking position on the upper riser assembly. Then coupling the riser connector to the lower riser termination occurs. A corresponding method of disconnecting the flexible riser part is also described, as well as a method of mounting the winching mechanism on a submerged landing platform. | 06-14-2012 |
