IPC: H04N7/54
Filed: 2014-02-14
Abstract: A method of compressing a block (2) of multisensory data. The block comprises at least one frame comprising a plurality of different types of data. There are stored quality settings (7) for each type of data and these include parameters determining the level of compression for that type of data in the block. Each type of data in the block is subjected to compression in accordance with the quality settings to produce a compressed bock of multisensory data (11). A package of data is (10) is created which includes the compressed block and a header (12) which identifies the compression technique and includes the respective parameters used, for compressing each type of data. A number of packages are then subjected to inter- package compression to create a final package (14). This combines the individual packages, but the headers have been replaced by mini headers (15) which now contain only the parameters for the individual compression of the data types. The final package (14) has a main header (16), which contains temporal compression parameters, as well as data identifying the types of compression applied to the different types of data of the individual packages in the final package.

Title: Source-independent queries in distributed industrial system
Inventor: Mark John Nixon
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2016-10-07
Abstract: A method for providing data from an electronic data source, comprises receiving from a data requesting entity a standardised query in a standardised query format (e.g. SQL or in a JSON file), wherein the standardized query format is different from a data source-specific query format (e.g. MongoDB) utilized by the electronic data source, extracting query parameters from the standardized query, generating a data source-specific query in the data source-specific query format based upon the extracted query parameters, executing the data source-specific query to obtain the data form the electronic data source, and providing the obtained data to a data receiving entity. In aspects of the invention the data are associated with the operation of a process plant and two data sources, for example a relational and a non-relation al database receive source-specific queries and return data which are aggregated. In other instances the data source-specific format is based upon indications of a time range and another data characteristic like a sampling rate of the data to be obtained.
Patent GB-2554953-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to network communications
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER ALAN SPENCER
IPC: H04W12/08
Filed: 2016-10-17
Abstract: A client device (UE) is associated with a first authentication server (Carrier AAA) which stores identity data for the device and an associated expiry time. The server transmits this data to a second authentication server (AAA) which in turn deletes the data according to the expiry time. If the second server receives a connection request from the client device whilst the data remains stored, the server authenticates the client device by performing communications with both the first server and client device, these two sets of communications being performed asynchronously with respect to each other. In asynchronous communication, signalling is not required to occur in a strict succession, hence enabling a reduction in the latency time associated with authentication and thus enhancing roaming capabilities. The device data may further include a time value specifying a trust time period, this indicating how much time the second authentication server must provide for performing the authentication communications with the first server.

The relevance of the application may be determined using vehicle speed, acceleration, location, time of day or destination. If it is determined that the driver potentially has a high workload e.g. speed or acceleration of the vehicle, then the screen may be blanked to avoid distracting the driver.

Title: Monitoring accesses to a region of an integrated circuit chip
Inventor: GAJINDER PANESAR
IPC: G06F21/72
Filed: 2018-03-06
Abstract: This application is for a method of controlling access to a specified region of an integrated circuit chip, or a system-on-chip. It works by first monitoring the transactions over the interconnect circuitry that include transactions between an entity, such as a core device, debugger or controller and a specified region of the integrated circuit chip, such as the memory 401. It then determines from the monitored transactions, values of one or more parameters that are associated with the access to the specified region by the entity in order to identify if the entity has breaches its access rights 403. It can then perform a dedicated action indicative of a breach of those rights if it determines from the parameter values that the entity has breaches its access rights 405. The parameters may be a time value for each transaction, the number of accesses to the region, a state of the chip, a sequence of previous access or whether the access was requested via a specified subsystem.
