Title: Determination of beam parameters for unflattened photon beams
Inventor: EHRINGFELD CHRISTIAN
IPC: G01T1/29
Filed: 2010-05-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining a beam parameter of an unflattened photon beam generated by an accelerator. Radiation dose values are measured in the plane perpendicular to the beam propagation direction. A definition of the beam extension of a flattened beam is used to determine the extension of the unflattened beam. In a further step normalization of the radiation dose values takes place such that for the extension of the unflattened beam essentially the same value is obtained as would be obtained if the beam was flattened. Finally a beam parameter definition of a flattened beam is used to determine the beam parameter of the unflattened beam. The invention allows the use of parameter definitions of flattened beams for unflattened beams.

Title: Method, apparatus and system for detaching and triggering user equipment
Inventor: HIETALAHTI HANNU
IPC: H04W60/04
Filed: 2011-08-31
Abstract: A machine type communications (MTC) user equipment UE is first attached to a telecommunication network. When the network determines it is a MTC UE, the UE is detached from the network to reduce network activity without signaling to the UE. The UE therefore continues to operate as if it were attached. To avoid the UE making periodic location updates the expiration of a periodic location registration timer is prevented by setting a long or infinite time or disabling it. A MTC server submits a trigger to the network. The network accepts the trigger and sends a paging message to the UE. The UE in offline mode can be woken up to perform a local attach. The trigger may include a location of the UE.

Title: Identifying computer file based security threats by analysis of communication requests from files to recognise requests sent to untrustworthy domains
Inventor: BEJERASCO CHRISTINE
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2012-10-02
Abstract: A method or apparatus which detects an access request from a source computer file to a target uniform resource locator (URL), obtains reputation data for the target URL, identifies the file requesting the URL, based on the reputation of the URL take further action on the file. If the reputation of the URL suggests that the web page or domain it is trying to access is dangerous or malicious, the file may relate to a virus application, malware, a bot or spyware etc. Therefore the further action may be controlling access of the file to URL, controlling communication of the file, closing applications triggered by the file, displaying a warning message, deleting or quarantining the file. The URL may be determined by accessing a packet header. The file may be identified on the basis of a socket connection by monitoring network connections or hooking socket API functionalities. The file may be given a rating in a reputation rating database, the rating indicating the URL as trustworthy, suspicious or unknown.

Title: Agent-based bandwidth monitoring for predictive network selection
Inventor: BLAISDELL JAMES
IPC: H04M1/725
Filed: 2011-09-14
Abstract: A mobile device, such as a smartphone or a laptop, connects to a network based on the available bandwidth (throughput) of the network rather than on signal strength. The device may send a request containing the device's location to a service provider who has data on networks in the device's location and specifically on bandwidth or pipe performance. This data is used to determine which network in the area would be best to connect to. The network may be a network that does not necessarily have the highest signal strength (often shown as bars on a handset device). The service provider can cause the device to transition to the network having the higher bandwidth. It can also direct the user so that blackout areas are avoided using the network data maintained by the provider. The provider uses testers to obtain current bandwidth data of networks.

Title: Computerised musical instrument using motion capture and analysis
Inventor: LEE RICHARD JASON
IPC: G10H1/32
Filed: 2012-11-12
Abstract: A musical instrument, in particular a percussion instrument such as a drum kit, operates based on motion capture and analysis. Markers 102, which may be held or worn by the musician 107, are observed by an image processor 104, 105 which determines the position of at least two markers in the images. The processor distinguishes between the different markers (e.g. left hand, right hand, right foot) by comparing the position and/or size of the markers in the current image, or by comparing markers in two or more images, and triggers audio outputs accordingly. For example, the processor may detect a drum hit when a marker undergoes a sharp reversal of its motion direction after having reached a sufficient speed. The processor may determine which virtual drum the musician intends to hit by comparing the position and size of the marker at the instant of the hit to the position and size attributes of each drum. The processor may select the nature of each audio signal and it volume, according to which drum was hit and as a function of the speed of the marker that triggered the drum hit in the instants before the hit.

Title: Downhole closed-loop geosteering methodology
Inventor: GUENTHER RODNEY S
IPC: E21B7/04
Filed: 2011-08-10
Abstract: A closed-loop method for geosteering includes acquiring logging while drilling data and processing the logging while drilling data downhole while drilling to obtain a geosteering correction (a correction to the drilling direction based upon the LWD measurements). The geosteering correction is further processed downhole to obtain new steering tool settings which are then applied to the steering tool to change the direction of drilling.

Title: Event detection and recording methods and systems
Inventor: ILLAN PEDRO DIAZ
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2013-05-15
Abstract: An event detection and recording system 10 includes cameras 24 that may capture images around a vehicle at the time of occurrence of an event such as activation of a collision detection system 36 or an anti-theft system 34. In operation, event data, including video image sets from cameras 24, is continuously stored to a memory 16, overwriting the oldest event data when the memory 16 is full. When an event is detected, portions of the memory are write-protected. These portions of memory contain event data stored over a predetermined period during which the detected event occurred. The plurality of video cameras 24 are positioned and arranged relative to one another to simultaneously view and generate the video images which are of respective portions of a peripheral area substantially surrounding the vehicle. The controller 12 may generate a composite image from the camera images by means of a coordinate transformation. The images forming the composite image may be aligned in a manner that maintains the visual continuity of the peripheral area. The event data may be taken from the engine management system.

Title: Electrical contactor
Inventor: CONNELL RICHARD ANTHONY
IPC: H01H50/64
Filed: 2013-07-11
Abstract: An electrical contactor 10 comprises a pair of first terminals 12 and fixed members 14 each having a fixed contact 36 facing the other fixed member 14. A pair of second terminals 16 having back-to-back conductive moving arms (fig 1, 20, 22) has an electrically-insulating partitioning element 24 between them and each has a movable contact 38 which faces the corresponding fixed contact 36. When the contacts 36, 38 close contra-flowing current C-D through the back-to-back movable arms produces a repulsive force E between them which urges the arms away from each other, to increase a force between the fixed and movable contacts 36, 38. The contacts may be normally closed and opened by pins 62 on an actuating carriage 48 that is moved by a dual-latching electromagnetic actuator 26. Each arm can have a distal hooked extension (fig 1, 44) biased by a wedge 64 on carriage 48 against contact tilt or bounce. There can be two or more arms of different sizes each side (fig 4, 20,22) and one, wider arm can be pre-set to lead another, narrow arm that is preset to lag, so the leading arm closes before the lagging arm. The contactor can have two sets of contacts for live and neutral feeds, be used to disconnect an electrical meter and withstand high fault currents.
