       Title of Patent                                            Brief Description                                          Countries Filed   Date Granted
1 Computing Services         A method for the discovery and detection of deployed components and services, so as to            Singapore        29-Dec-06
  Discovery System and       enable the reverse-architect of existing computing infrastructure. The method uses
  Method Therefor            Component Profiles as defined by the Computing System Deployment Method (ID27/2001),
                             for the detection of already deployed components and their properties, rather than planning
                             for their deployment. This reverse planning allows us to re-construct a deployment plan
                             based on an existing infrastructure, that can be re-used for further and future planning or
                             infrastructure improvements, using the Computing System Deployment Planning Method
                             (ID30/2001). The ability to reverse-architect existing computing infrastructure also enables
                             us to document, examine and manipulate deployed computing services and components,
                             independently of their actual production environment. We can potentially use this method to
                             derive and mine for, patterns and anti-patterns of computing services deployment and
                             computing infrastructure design.

8 Public Key Cryptography Public-key cryptography has been widely used in various security services since its invention          Singapore        30 Apr 07
  and a Framework         by Diffie and Hellman in 1976. In contrary to the conventional cryptography, it has a pair of
  Therefor                keys; the private key that is kept confidential by a certain party, and the public key that is
                          available to the public. Depending on the public-key cryptographic algorithm, the public key
                          could be used to encrypt a message or to verify a signature while the corresponding private
                          key could be used to decrypt the cipher text or to generate the signature. It is
                          computationally hard to derive the private key from the public key. Here we take a digital
                          signature as an example to identify the potential problem in the use of public-key
                          cryptography.

9 Apparatus and Method       A circuit for generating constant transconductance using an on-chip resistance equivalent           Singapore        30-Apr-07
  for Implementing a         circuit in place of an off-chip resistor. The on-chip resistance equivalent ckt includes an
  Constant                   operational amplifier, reference current and voltage sources, and first and second MOSFETs.
  Transconductance Circuit   The operational amplifier, which is responsive to the reference voltage source, is configured
                             in a feedback configuration for controlling the first MOSFET to operate in a triode region
                             having a drain-to-source voltage substantially equal to the reference voltage source. With
                             the drain-to-source voltage of the first MOSFET being maintained at substantially equal to
                             the reference voltage source and the drain terminal being biased with the reference current
                             source, a first resistance is generated. The second MOSFET is also biased to operate in a
                             triode region with the gate terminal being connected to the gate terminal of the first MOSFET
                             for mirroring the first resistance to generate a second resistance for biasing.

10 Method for Dynamic        Methods and apparatus for processing an input wideband signal containing a desired signal &         Singapore        30-Apr-07
   Range Reduction in        a plurality of interfering signals are disclosed. In one method, the input wideband signal is
   Wideband Receiver         split into a 1st signal for a 1st signal path & a 2nd signal for a 2nd signal path. The 2nd
                             signal is digitized to provide a digitized 2nd signal. The desired signal is suppressed in the
                             digitised 2nd signal to provide interference-dominant signals. A phase shift is applied to the
                             interference-dominant signals to provide a plurality of digital, phase-shifted signals through
                             the 2nd path that is substantially the same as a phase shift through the 1st path. The digital,
                             phase-shifted signals are converted into analog form to provide analog regenerated signals.
                             The plurality of analog regenerated signals from the 2nd signal path & the 1st signal are
                             combined to provide an interference-suppressed, input wideband signal based on a
                             difference of the plurality of analog regenerated signals & the 1st signal.
