Title: Travel tube
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER A MIKSOVSKY
IPC: B65D47/08
Filed: 2018-03-30
Abstract: A reusable travel tube that has a flexible tube portion, a collar and a cap that can be threaded onto the cap. The collar is fitted over a neck of the tube portion and forms a gasket-like seal between the neck of the tube portion and the collar.

Title: Method for producing a fuel using renewable hydrogen
Inventor: PATRICK J FOODY
IPC: C10L1/08
Filed: 2020-08-27
Abstract: A method of providing a fuel e.g. diesel, includes providing renewable hydrogen, possibly produced by reforming gas comprising renewable methane, selectively directing at least a portion of the renewable hydrogen to one or more hydroprocessing units in a fuel production facility, and hydrogenating crude oil derived liquid hydrocarbon in the one or more hydroprocessing units using the renewable hydrogen. The renewable content of a product produced by the one or more hydroprocessing units can be determined by measuring a flow of the hydrogen feedstock, a flow of the crude oil derived liquid hydrocarbon feedstock, a relative amount of hydrogen and carbon in the crude oil derived liquid hydrocarbon feedstock, and/or a relative amount of hydrogen and carbon in the product. The selective direction of the renewable hydrogen can increase the volume of renewable content in liquid transportation fuels.

Title: A body for a machine
Inventor: Mark Stoker
IPC: B60P1/28
Filed: 2021-04-26
Abstract: A body for a tipping ejector dump truck has walls (35, fig 2),50,51 forming a cavity 61 for receiving material, with top side rails 45 having a flange 55 extending upwardly from an upper side surface 54 adjacent to the body cavity 61, the upper side surface 54 extending downwardly and outwardly away from the flange 55 for directing material away from the cavity.

Patent GB-2607106-A (GB)
Title: An emitter, communication system and method
Inventor: ROBERT IAN WOODWARD
IPC: H04B10/70
Filed: 2021-05-28
Abstract: An emitter, suitable for use in quantum key distribution, receives an input stream of pulses (Fig. 1B) at a beam splitter 1. The input stream is a series of pairs of pulses. Each pair of pulses corresponds to a bit, which is encoded in the phase difference between the pulses of the pair. The pulses of the input stream have varying phase and polarisation. The beam splitter divides the pulses between a first path 3 and a second path 5. A polarisation rotator, such as a half-wave plate, rotates the polarisation state of pulses in the first path. A time delay component in the second path delays the earlier pulse so that it coincides with the later pulse of the pulse pair passing through the first path. The pulses from the first path and the second path are combined at an optical combination component 11 such as a polarisation beam splitter. The optical combination component outputs a sequence of pulses (Fig. 1C). Every second output pulse of the sequence (the white pulses) has a polarisation determined from the phase difference between input pulses of the pair. Information can be encoded by modulating the polarisation state.

Abstract: A plurality of image projections are acquired at faster than cardiac rate. A spatiotemporal reconstruction of cardiac frequency angiographic phenomena in three spatial dimensions is generated from two dimensional image projections using physiological coherence at cardiac frequency. Complex valued methods may be used to operate on the plurality of image projections to reconstruct a higher dimensional spatiotemporal object. From a plurality of two spatial dimensional angiographic projections, a 3D spatial reconstruction of moving pulse waves and other cardiac frequency angiographic phenomena is obtained. Reconstruction techniques for angiographic data obtained from biplane angiography devices are also provided herein.

The circuitry further acquires control data S1103, the control data comprising a set of messages which have been produced based on a random exchange of messages between nodes in the network, e.g. using an Erdos-Reyni graph approach. It then detects motifs within the target data and the control data S1104 and generates a set of values S1105 indicative of a significance of the motifs using a frequency with which these motifs have been detected. It then constructs a set of motifs S1106 for use in detecting messages of interest in the network using the set of values which have been produced and a comparison of the motifs detected in the target data with the motifs detected in the control data. Messages may be transactions in a banking network.

Abstract: A magnetic coupler with a double-layer permanent magnet rotor in a 90° Halbach arrangement, the coupler comprising a double-layer composite permanent magnet rotor and a conductor rotor, where the double-layer rotor is formed by combining two permanent magnet disks 13, 14, that are rotatable relative to each other, and are in a 90° Halbach array. The magnetization direction in one cycle comprises leftward, upward, rightward, and downward directions. A first disk 13 of the two disks is embedded in an aluminium shell 5 and fixed to a second yoke iron disk 12 by welding, and a second disk 14 is embedded in a groove of an outer connecting ring 6. The outer connecting ring is made of aluminium and has a magnetic permeability similar to air. The two disks are separated by the aluminium shell with a spacing of 3-5 mm to achieve a relative rotation changing orientations of the magnetic paths and changing a magnetic induction intensity between the double-layer rotor and the conductor rotor. The conductor rotor comprises a first yoke iron disk and a conductor ring, the ring is closely attached to the first yoke iron disk 2 by welding. The double-layer rotor is used as a drive end to rotate the conductor rotor and speed regulation may be achieved by changing the relative rotation angle between the two disks.

Abstract: A call from a customer communication device (e.g. smartphone, computer, etc) is received at a contact centre. The call is transitioned from a voice domain into a digital domain and the contact centre is enabled to interact with the customer communication device in at least the digital domain after the call has been transitioned from the voice domain into the digital domain. Further aspects of the invention establish a voice channel (voice domain) and non-voice channel (digital domain) between a contact centre and call from a customer communication device and transition the contact from the voice channel to the non-voice channel. The voice channel may be terminated after the non-voice channel has been established and before the non-voice channel is terminated. Prior to transitioning the call from the voice domain to the digital domain the customer communication device may be connected with an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. The interaction in the digital domain may be at least one of text-based messaging and web collaboration, including a chatbot.

An array of solenoids 15 is positioned adjacent the magnet assembly such that oscillation of the magnet assembly may produce an alternating current. The magnet assembly may have an elongate shape. The side supports may be parallel to each other. A plurality of magnet assemblies may be aligned with each other to provide a chain of magnets extending between the opposing ends. The repulsive magnetic forces between magnet assemblies act to reduce mechanical impedance and increase conservation of momentum to improve energy harvesting efficiency.

IPC: H04L9/14
Filed: 2022-08-02
Abstract: A method to encrypt data from a data provider 702 by an encryption service 701 which generates an encrypted payload representing a dataset of ordered data items, e.g. Data [D1,D2,D3]. The method starts with a first data item and continues until the last data item has been processed and the encrypted payload is complete. The method comprises the steps of: a) encrypting the first data item D1 with a first respective encryption key k1 to generate a first encrypted value, b) combining a second data item D2 with (e.g. concatenating with) the first encrypted value to generate a first combined value, c) encrypting the first combined value with a second respective encryption key k2 to generate a second encrypted value, and d) repeating the process of combining and encrypting until all the items in the data set have been processed and the encrypted payload is complete. The encryption keys may be different or the same and the encryption may be symmetric or asymmetric. The encryption keys may be generated by hashing a private key and use a hierarchical key structure. The encrypted payload may be used in a blockchain transaction which is labelled as a target data-storage transaction.
