Abstract: A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. A connector can be used to connect the blade to a blade iron to mount the blade to the motor. The connector can include a set of receptacles configured to insert into openings on the blade, with the set of receptacles connected by a set of arms. A set of mount posts on the blade iron can seat within the receptacles to mount the blade to the blade iron.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a computer implemented method can include identifying, in a program code stored in computer memory, a location of a dynamic repair target code section for an assignment to a program variable, a value of which is known only at runtime. The method can also include modifying the program code at the identified location of the dynamic repair target code section to assign an immediate value different from a correct runtime value to the program variable. The method can further include inserting, into the program code in the computer memory, a dynamic repair probe code section that is executed before the dynamic repair target code and, at runtime, modifies the immediate value in the code to contain the correct runtime value when an attack has not occurred.

Abstract: Described herein are apparatus and methods for realization of time interleaved digital-to-analog converters (DACs) by detecting and aligning phase mismatches. In an implementation, a N-time interleaved DAC includes N DACs and N replica DACs, where a first set of N/2 DACs operate at a clock A and a second set of N/2 DACs operate at a clock B, and where N is at least two. The phase detector generates a phase detection output by comparing outputs of the first and second set of N/2 replica DACs with a multiplexor (MUX) clock, where the MUX clock is a multiple of a frequency of the clock A or the clock B. The clock A and the clock B are aligned with the MUX clock by advancing a phase of the clock A and the clock B until the phase detection output achieves a zero crossing.

Abstract: A computer implemented anti-tamper system employing runtime profiling of software in order to decide where to inject integrity checks into the software, to enable verification of whether or not the software has been tampered with. Runtime profiling and analysis is used to record information about the application, in order to establish the locations and targets of runtime integrity checks in order to optimize protection security, while minimizing the performance penalty and the need for hand configuration.

Abstract: A cover device (10) is disclosed for use in a dewatering shoe or other drainage device of a papermaking machine. The cover device (10) includes a plate (12) of expanded metal which defines a plurality of elongate holes (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21) for the passage therethrough of water as indicated by the arrow (22) removed from a web W disposed on a dewatering screen (24) moving in a machine direction MD relative to the cover device (10). The arrangement is such that the dewatering screen (24) is disposed between the web W and the cover device (10) so that the water (22) is removed from the web W through the dewatering screen (24) and then through the elongate holes (14 to 21).

Abstract: Program code is modified to execute correctly only when code and data memory accesses/fetches are synchronised, i.e. data and code accesses/fetches are routed to identical physical addresses in computer memory. This indirectly defeats the MMU attack, in which code and data memory accesses/fetches to the same logical address are routed to different physical addresses. The program code is modified such that one or more sections of the code (“repair targets”) are deliberately broken so that the program code will not execute correctly, the repair targets being replaced at run time with correct code before the repair targets are executed.

Abstract: LTE and HSPA/UMTS deployments are trending towards high density, heterogeneous and ad-hoc deployments. These deployments can be managed through Self-Organizing Network (SON) schemas. Enabling SON generally involves the introduction of new software and/or hardware entities into the network that can interact with existing base station and network entities (e.g., Enhanced Packet Core, Element Management System, and/or other network entities). In one embodiment, these interactions include the development and deployment of interfaces (e.g., APIs) and protocols between the SON entities and various network entities. For example, data collected on either side of an interface or protocol can be post-processed before consumption (e.g., for both data integrity purposes as well as bandwidth reduction purposes).

Abstract: Self-Organized Network (SON) architectures for heterogeneous networks are disclosed. In some embodiments, various SON architectures for heterogeneous networks are provided that can evolve with such networks while the core functional modules of the SON solution can remain the same. In some embodiments, techniques for implementing SON architectures for heterogeneous networks includes providing a base station that includes performing a pre-operation self-configuration; and performing an operation self-optimization.

Abstract: The present invention applies to telecommunication networks, such as wireless mobile networks. In particular, the present invention deals with providing more efficient use of the resources of such mobile networks. The present invention provides in a wireless mobile telecommunications network, having a wireless mobile access interface, a message filter function adapted to remove, store and/or adapt header information from messages transferred to/from a wireless mobile device. The present invention is based on using the SIP signalling channel within the workings of a mobile network system more efficiently.

Abstract: A headbox including a stock dilution profiling arrangement and associated stock delivery systems are provided, which together deliver to the forming section of a papermaking machine a uniform stock flow with more consistent basis weight and fiber orientation profiles than has previously been possible. These improvements in basis weight uniformity and fiber orientation profile provide benefits in paper sheet formation and related paper properties.

Abstract: A cover for a vacuum dewatering box that is formed from a plurality of blocks, each including a wear surface, is provided. At least some of the blocks are spaced apart to form at least one generally longitudinally oriented slot through the cover, with a shape and size of the at least one slot being determined by at least one of a location of and a shape of the blocks. Preferably, the at least one slot is formed with a zig-zag or herringbone pattern, and can be used on a suction box or Uhle box on a papermaking machine. A vacuum dewatering box having this type of cover is also provided.
