Patent GB-2554112-A (GB)
Title: Window covering positional adjustment apparatus
Inventor: Tzu-Yen Lin
IPC: E06B9/322
Filed: 2017-06-07
Abstract: The covering has a first rail 3, a positional adjustment mechanism 11 connected to the first rail having a spring motor unit 12 connected to a first lift cord pulley 20, the covering including a first lift cord collection mechanism 31 having a first roller 37 in the first rail. A covering material, e.g. a slatted blind, is connected to the first rail and moveable between an extended and a retracted position. A first lift cord 27, with a first end connected to the pulley, extends along the first roller and through the covering material. The roller rotates in either direction and has means, preferably a ball and groove ratchet type system (see Figs 4 or 7-10) to prevent rotation in one of the directions beyond a pre-selected number of revolutions. The spring motor provides a force sufficient to retract the cord when a user lifts a lower rail 5, and capable of being overcome when a user pulls on the rail 5. Further movement of the cord along the roller after rotation is prevented increases tension in the cord to aid functioning of the spring motor.

Title: Enhanced collision avoidance
Inventor: ROGER ARNOLD TROMBLEY
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2017-07-21
Abstract: A method is provided for controlling whether a steering manoeuvre such as a left turn initiated by the driver of a host vehicle 100 is permitted or prevented. A driver input representing the steering manoeuver associated with non-autonomous operation is detected. A first target vehicle 140a in an adjacent lane 135a relative to the host vehicle 100 is identified. The steering manoeuvre is allowed when a second target vehicle 140b (path target) is detected in an original lane 135b relative to the host vehicle 100. The steering manoeuvre is prevented when no second target vehicle 140b (lane target) is detected in the original lane 135b of the host vehicle 100. Prevention may be by opposing steering. Prevention may occur by brake application, but may be overridden by accelerator pedal application being sustained above a threshold angle. The method preferably takes account of threat levels of the target vehicles 140 to provide a collision avoidance system for multiple vehicle scenarios.

IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2016-03-13
Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of providing a computer-implemented system and method that provides a secure universal electronic transaction card-based payment system. The system provides consumers the ability to conveniently, securely and safely use a single physical universal electronic transaction card, in a standard ISO-7810 credit card form factor that will be accepted at any standard POS device. A multiplicity of transaction account numbers, applets and or tokens are stored in a secure element from which the consumer can transact from any of their credit, debit, pre-paid, club access cards, gift cards, rewards and loyalty cards accounts, using either, Mag Stripe, EMV, or NFC at existing POS terminals, in such a way that only the legitimate owner of the electronic transaction card can activate, provision and unlock the electronic transaction card for use via biometric identification. After the use of the electronic transaction card all information is locked, the card is unusable again without a subsequent biometric identification by the legitimate owner. In the body of this document the universal electronic transaction card will also be referred to as the universal smartcard or the smartcard.

Title: A method and apparatus for inspecting a light control layer for a security device
Inventor: JOHN GODFREY
IPC: G07D7/206
Filed: 2019-10-11
Abstract: Inspecting a substantially transparent light control layer 20 for an optically variable security device where the substantially transparent light control layer comprises a surface relief defined by an array of substantially transparent refractive microstructures. The inspection method comprises: directing a beam of substantially collimated light 3 towards a first region 22 that is expected to contain the surface relief of the light control layer so as to generate an inspection light pattern 50; providing reference data indicative of a light control layer that meets a predetermined quality threshold; comparing the inspection light pattern with the reference data; and determining whether the light control layer meets the predetermined quality threshold based on the comparison. The beam of light has a diameter at the first region that is greater than the pitch of the surface relief. The light control layer can be located on a transparent area of a web or sheet. The refractive microstructures can be microlenses or linear microprisms. An authentication result can depend on the light control layer meeting a predetermined quality threshold. An inspection apparatus can implement the method and the apparatus can be used in a web-based or sheet-based press for manufacturing security articles or security documents.

Title: Cybersecurity threat detection program effectiveness as-sessment method and system
Inventor: YI(ESTELLE) WANG
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2020-04-20
Abstract: A method and system to assess the effectiveness of a threat detection program. A first threat detection program is used to test a first data set comprising manipulated threats data, 204, and produces a first test result 206. A second data set is then also tested, 208, and produces a second test result 210. The test results comprise at least one of: a false positive rate, a true positive rate, a threat detection rate or a latency measurement. The first test result and the second test result are then statistically analysed together using a t-test to obtain a first statistical analysis result, 214. The first statistical analysis result is compared with an effectiveness threshold, 216, to generate a first recommendation, 218, to use the first threat detection program if the effectiveness threshold has been reached. The process is repeated for a second threat detection program to generate a second statistical analysis result and a second recommendation, 220-234, to use the second threat detection program. The first statistical analysis result is compared with the second statistical analysis result, 236, to generate a third recommendation, 238, to use the threat detection program with the lower statistical result.
