    Abstract: Estimating computer processing metrics for a target computer product or target computer process, comprising a product name identifier for initiating execution of the method when a process requires a new memory page for a module and identifying a product associated with the module, a module page creator for creating a new memory page associated with the process and product, a module loader for loading the module into the new memory page as associated with the process and product, and wherein the total size of memory pages associated with a particular product can be determined. A computer processing metric maybe estimated for the process from memory page hit counts for the product and the size of the memory page associated with the product maybe used to estimate the memory usage for the product. A product name maybe identified with a module and a product identifier maybe associated with the product name.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a virtual gateway for communicating between one or more remote machine to machine (M2M) capillary networks and a local base transceiver station (BTS). The virtual gateway comprising: an interface for communicating with a local base transceiver station, the interface emulating a Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol in said communication; an interface for communicating with one or more remote capillary networks; and a SIM emulation component for emulating a SIM card, the SIM card being used in association with the interface for communicating with the local BTS. The virtual gateway may be co-located with the local BTS, which allows the SIM emulation and associated chipset to be supplied from an existing power source.

    Abstract: An RFID system and tag, and a method for identifying objects using an RFID system are disclosed. In an embodiment, an RFID tag comprises a microchip for storing an identification sequence, a tag antenna coupled with the microchip for receiving and transmitting the RF signal; and a ferrous metal portion disposed near the IC and the tag antenna. The ferrous metal portion is sensitive to, and heats up when subjected to, magnetic induction. The heat of the ferrous metal is propagated to the RFID tag such that the tag reaches its operating temperature more quickly.

    Abstract: Headers in some protocols (eg. SIP, HTTP) can include header names/header field names/methods that are case insensitive strings (Fig. 7 - 711,712,714-716) and which may also have abbreviated forms (713). Searching for all possible strings can be laborious. The invention proposes converting the strings into a canonical format (720,722) which reduces the string searching required. Mappings from received strings to canonical forms are built up by converting strings to lower case 305, searching with the lower case version 306 and then adding a map from the received string to a new 309/existing 308 canonical form. Once strings are in the map they can be used for direct look up of canonical forms 302-304. The canonical form includes an integer (eg. memory location or other index value) that may be used for further searching (Fig. 4 404).
