Publication number: 20120311115Abstract: A method described herein provides for determining a cloned device has been cloned based on identifying information received from the clone device and stored information identifying the source device, and assigning a new agent identifier to the cloned device. Alternatively, a computer-readable medium may store instructions that, when executed, perform a method including determining a device has been cloned; copying static information and associating the copied static information with the cloned device; and generating and storing dynamic management information for the cloned device. Alternatively, an apparatus is provided to compare a received universally unique identifier (UUID) with a stored UUID associated with the agent identifier; determine that the cloned device was cloned when the received UUID is different than the stored UUID; and assign a new agent identifier to the cloned device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Inventors: Paul Kennedy, Matthew Duncan Hastie

Patent number: 7877207Abstract: A method of obtaining data for use by a receiver of a satellite positioning system or a GNSS comprises deriving the data remotely from the receiver by a server (200), using meteorological information and a regional or global three dimensional map of grid points from which it computes tropospherical delays by ray tracing through the refractivity field derived from atmospheric measurements of pressure, temperature and water data content, such measurements being available from meteorological bodies. When used to enhance position determined by a user receiver that includes a non-meteorological, climate based model (130) giving zenith delays and means (130?) to map them to particular inclinations, the server also includes a copy of such non-meteorological model (230) and provides its ray traced delay values as zenith delays.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2004Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: The Secretary of State for Defence in Her Britannic Majesty's Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandInventors: Matthew Duncan Powe, James Butcher, John Ifor Rewbridge Owen

Publication number: 20060137985Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrokinetic (EK) pump capable of creating high pressures electroosmotically, and capable of retaining high pressures. Both pressure creation and retention are accomplished without the need for moving parts. The EK pump uses a polymerizable fluid that creates the pressure-retaining seal within the EK pump when polymerization is initiated, typically by exposure to uv radiation. Weaklink devices are advantageously constructed including such a pressure-retaining EK pump since, among other advantages, the response of the weaklink device relies on predictable and reliable chemical polymerization reactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2004Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: Sandia National LaboratoriesInventors: Timothy Shepodd, Matthew Duncan
