20110178790	ELECTRONIC DATA STORE - An apparatus and method of providing conditional access to an electronic data store including a storage controller and a data storage resource. The method includes receiving, at the storage controller, a network request for access to the data storage resource from a client, the request including at least one required parameter defining the requested connection, obtaining information on the performance of the data storage resource, determining, based upon the information, whether a) the data storage resource can meet the or each required parameter of the request; and b) meeting the or each required parameter of the request will not violate any previously agreed parameters defining existing connections on the data storage resource; and denying the request if at least one of a) and b) are determined to be negative.	07-21-2011
20110179109	COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method of, and apparatus for, network communication between a client computer initiator and a target data store.

The request specifies quality of service parameters for the data transfer session. The method further includes receiving, from the target, a response accepting or denying the data transfer session based on the quality of service parameters; and establishing the data transfer session between the initiator and the target if the request is accepted. An advantage in communicating QoS requirements automatically on a per session basis between a client computer initiator and a target data storage resource is that QoS guarantees can be improved because the QoS determination can be carried out at the time the data transfer session is required. This enables the current access patterns on the storage resource to be monitored and an accurate determination regarding whether the QoS parameters of a desired data transfer session can be met.	07-21-2011
20110179233	ELECTRONIC DATA STORE - A method of, and apparatus for, predicting the performance of a data storage resource forming part of a networked electronic data store.

The method further includes obtaining resource profile data from the data storage resource, and modelling the performance of the data storage resource by assigning, from the pool, an operational state to each virtual storage component to fit the resource profile data. By providing such a method, the data storage resource can be represented as a collection of virtual storage components, each having a dynamically-assignable operational state. This enables the modelling of the performance of the data storage resource to be simplified significantly because each virtual storage component can only have a finite number of operational states, simplifying the modelling of access patterns on, and interactions between, the virtual storage components.	07-21-2011

20120097796	Satellite orbit raising using electric propulsion - Apparatus and methods for raising the orbit of a satellite having electric propulsion thrusters, an Earth sensor and an inertial reference sensor such as a gyro. A satellite positioning system generates orbital data and a profile generator generates an ideal electric orbit raising profile of the satellite. The ideal profile is one that the satellite must follow so that the perigee, apogee and inclination of the satellite can be adjusted simultaneously in a mass-efficient manner. A state machine processes the ideal profile and a true anomaly to generate a desired electric orbit raising profile. Steering apparatus generates signals that are used to control the attitude of the satellite to follow the desired profile. The desired profile places the satellite in an Earth-pointed attitude when the satellite is at a predefined point in the orbit, slews the satellite from the Earth-pointed attitude to an ideal orbit raising attitude, steers the satellite according to the ideal profile during orbit raising, and steers the satellite from the desired attitude to the Earth-pointed attitude.	04-26-2012
