Title: Vehicle network communication protection
Inventor: James Michael Weinfurther
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2017-05-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle comprising a gateway controller 120 configured to interface a diagnostic port 122 to a vehicle communication network 130. In response to a perimeter alarm system 144 being in an armed state and the ignition switch being in an off position, a microcontroller system (200, see fig 2) is programmed to inhibit transfer of messages from the diagnostic port to the vehicle communication network. The system may, in response to inhibiting transfer of messages, trigger activation of the perimeter alarm or may output a response message via the diagnostic port. The system may also be programmed to, in response to the alarm not being armed, ignition switch in the on position, and receiving a change session diagnostic request in a presence of a signal indicative of vehicle speed being less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, transmit the change session diagnostic requested on the vehicle network. The invention also relates to a method for protecting a vehicle network using the aforementioned system.

Title: A reusable, recyclable dispensing package for flowable materials
Inventor: TINASHE ALLEN CHIPAWE
IPC: B65D83/42
Filed: 2017-07-19
Abstract: A reusable, recyclable dispensing package for liquids comprises a bottle (1, fig. 1) with an opening 2 to receive an internal bladder (3, fig. 1.1) in a sealing relation, forming a pressure sealed chamber 22 around the bladder. A valve 23 allows air to be inducted into the chamber to relieve pressure. The bottle has an elastically deformable region 21 so that when pressed the pressure in the chamber increases to compress the bladder and returns to its original shape when released, inducting air through the valve. The bladder has a discharge nozzle (9, fig. 3.1) with a one-way valve 13 to allow flowable material out of the bladder when the pressure in the chamber is increased. The bladder includes a charging port (19, fig. 3.1.2) whereby fluid can be injected into the bladder. The bladder may comprise an envelope and a cap which may couple the bladder into a collar on the bottle. The charging port may be formed integrally in the cap. The bladder or the bottle may have weakened regions forming hinging annuli to encourage compression like a bellows. The bottle and bladder may be formed from a plastics material which may be the same plastics material.

Patent GB-2566008-A (GB)
Title: Collaborative session over a network
Inventor: Michael David Rofe
IPC: H04N7/15
Filed: 2017-08-23
Abstract: The invention proposes a (near) real time collaboration over a network amongst geographically distant sites, preferably the collaboration is musicians playing in concert/jamming together. The invention captures 520 the collaboration (e.g. music audio 525) at each client site 510 and relays it to all the other sites where it is presented/played back 540 as a monitor/feedback signal. The invention sets a fixed playback global delay greater than the largest inter client latency and dependent upon a ‘tempo’ of the collaboration. Preferably the delay is a multiple of the beat period of the music (e.g. multiple of 500ms for 120bpm music). Such delays are supposedly less problematic for performers than simply using the shorter but content unrelated maximum network delay. The feedback signals are buffered to add a delay to measured system delays to achieve the specified global delay. In some embodiments delays are applied at clients whilst at other they are applied 535 at a central server 530.
