Title: Detection of false reporting in a smart battery system
Inventor: HEIKKI JUVA
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2016-11-10
Abstract: An energy storage and supply system has a tank 101 containing a plurality of smart battery units 100 randomly packed within the tank 101. The connections between the smart battery units 100 are programmed automatically. Depleted smart battery units 100 may be emptied and replaced by fresh ones. To prevent false state information reported by a battery unit 100, a comparison is made between data reporting energy extracted or supplied to the battery unit 100 and data of the actual measured energy extracted or supplied to the battery unit 100. Other ways to determine false state information are also claimed: a log of state information reported by the battery unit 100 is inspected in order to determine whether or not there is a change in state information which is inconsistent with normal operation of the battery unit 100. These methods ensure that the battery unit value is not fraudulently manipulated when making an exchange of battery units 100.

Title: Connectors for data transfer
Inventor: ROBERT DAVID RAND
IPC: H01R29/00
Filed: 2016-11-25
Abstract: Interface for first and second signal paths between a processor and a connector, with an audio codec and wireless modem. This may be applied in peripheral device discovery, the detection of orientation of a connector having multiple degrees of rotational symmetry, and the provision of appropriate signal paths between a host device and a peripheral device, such as for noise cancellation in headphones, where the noise cancellation electronics are desired to be in for example the telephone handset host device. Some embodiments are concerned with the enablement of appropriate signal paths to a peripheral device having a transducer (e.g. a loudspeaker) coupled only to rotationally symmetric contacts of the connector, such as headphones implemented in a "balanced" configuration. The value of the characteristic impedance may be used to determine the type or model of peripheral device. A data controller may be provided comprising a path controller configured to select signal paths based on the detection of more than one characteristic impedances. Appropriate audio signal paths may be enabled to a peripheral device having a transducer (e.g. a loudspeaker) coupled only to rotationally symmetric contacts of the connector. The connector may be a Lightning or USB type-C connector.

Title: Blind spot determination
Inventor: SARA ELISABETH MURRAY
IPC: G08B21/22
Filed: 2014-01-22
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for determining that an absence of communication is not due to a blind spot. The apparatus is particularly suited for use as a home detention curfew system for monitoring an offender. The apparatus comprises a wrist or ankle worn tracking device 6 in regular communication with a residence monitoring unit 7. Upon absence of receipt of communication from the monitoring unit 7, the tracking device 6 starts monitoring of at least one variable related to the distance moved by the device 6 and/or the time elapsed. If the at least one variable meets a predetermined criterion, it is considered that the absence of communication from the monitoring unit 7 is not due to a blind spot. The residence monitoring unit 7, upon determining an absence of communication, may send a message to a remote monitoring system 1, which in response may initiate an alert.

Title: Communication of train on-board condition monitoring data
Inventor: Sevinc Bayram-Salih
IPC: B61L27/00
Filed: 2017-02-13
Abstract: On-board condition monitoring data is sent from a train to a ground-side database by repeatedly collecting sensor readings from on-board equipment items to form time series, each comprising values of a status signal derived from sensor readings of the respective equipment item. Functionally related time series are grouped such that, within a group, when the status signal value of one time series changes, the values of the other time series are also expected to change. On each time interval the current status signals values are compared with the preceding values. A data packet is produced for transmission only when a status signal has changed. It includes the current value of the changed status signal and of the status signals of the other time series in the same group. Alternatively the status signals may be grouped according to the equipment item from which they derive. Equipment items may be train doors, power generators, air conditioners, brakes or traction, power, signaling, safety or communications equipment.

Title: Method of displaying an image
Inventor: MICHAEL RICHARD HANCOX
IPC: B60R1/00
Filed: 2017-06-22
Abstract: A method of displaying an image on a vehicles rearward view display is disclosed which involves capturing first image data with a first frame of reference from a first imaging means located at a first location of the vehicle proximal to the display device, and capturing second image data with a second frame of reference from a second imaging means located at a second location of the vehicle. A transformation is then applied to the second image data to form third image data having the first frame of reference. A composite image is then formed from the first third image data which image appears to a user to have been captured at the first location. The method may also include determining a restricted portion of the first image data, e.g. obstructions such as headrests, passengers, and luggage, and may further involve overlaying a portion of the third image data corresponding to the restricted portion to provide an unrestricted composite image. The imaging means may be cameras. The method may also include eye or head tracking to determine a drivers gaze, and then forming the composite image based upon this gaze. Also disclosed is a corresponding apparatus, controller, and vehicle.

Abstract: A machine learning algorithm is trained as a classifier based on a plurality of training data items, each training data item corresponding to a training virtual machine (VM) and including a representation of parameters for a configuration of the training VM and a representation of characteristics of security attacks for the training VM. One or more relationships are identified between VM configuration parameters and attack characteristics by sampling the trained machine learning algorithm. A directed graph representation of one or more sequences of VM configuration parameters for achieving a particular attack characteristic is further received. A subset of sequences in the directed graph that correspond to VM parameters of a target VM are determined to identify VM parameters of the target VM used in a security attack against the target VM. In response, protective measures may be implemented so as to protect the VM from attacks having the attack characteristic. The machine learning algorithm may be a restricted Boltzmann machine, and may include a plurality of hidden units and a plurality of visible units.
