Title: Improvements in and relating to failure modes in multi-hop networks
Inventor: MILOS TESANOVIC
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2018-05-10
Abstract: Route fault recovery in a multi-hop network having a plurality of nodes, defining a route from A to D, A-B-C-D, comprising: determining that a fault exists S30 between two of the plurality of nodes B, C and performing a hierarchical fault recovery process. The hierarchical recovery process may firstly attempt to recover the fault by the node local to the fault, B, using the same set of nodes that make up the existing route, for example, through bearer re-mapping S40 (Figure 1). If unsuccessful the recovery may increment to adding in an adjacent node E to the route to attempt to bypass the fault S60 (Figure 2). If also unsuccessful the recovery may increment to adding in a further non-adjacent node F to attempt bypass S80. If also unsuccessful a full route re-computation may be performed S100 by Central Unit node A to determine a new route to D, A-G-H-D (Figure 4). The route may traverse an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) telecommunications network. The solution may allow a fast bearer reconfiguration to locally resolve a fault by a Distributed Unit B with cached data and attempting local solutions at B before involving Central Unit to attempt full route re-computation.

Title: Phishing detection
Inventor: DAVID PRYCE
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2018-06-26
Abstract: A method and a device to detect phishing attacks that uses a pre-defined statistical model to determine whether a network resource is a potential phishing threat. The method comprises the steps of: (i) receiving a request to access a network resource, (ii) determining from the request a network resource identifier, (iii) extracting one or more features from the identifier, (iv) applying the pre-defined statistical model to the extracted features and (v) classifying the network resource as a phishing threat if the output of the statistical model determines it as such. Examples of identifier features are: subdomain characteristics such as length, quantity, presence of hyphens, presence of alphanumerics or the Kullback-Leibler divergence of subdomains in a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). The statistical model may be trained by a machine learning algorithm and a Random Forest algorithm may be used to combine multiple features for historical data. As phishing websites are typically ephemeral a distributed blacklist of such sites is soon out of date and the advantage of the invention is that it provides a real-time threat analysis without the need to distribute lists of known phishing websites.

Title: Method to charge Lithium-ion batteries with user, cell and temperature awareness
Inventor: KANG G SHIN
IPC: H02J7/04
Filed: 2017-03-07
Abstract: Lithium-ion cells are widely used in various platforms, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile devices. Complete and fast charging of cells has always been the goal for sustainable system operation. However, fast charging is not always the best solution, especially in view of a new finding that cells need to rest/relax after being charged with high current to avoid accelerated capacity fading. A user aware charging algorithm is proposed which maximizes the charged capacity within a user-specified available charging time (i.e., user-awareness) while ensuring enough relaxation (i.e., cell-awareness) and keeping cell temperature below a safe level.

Title: A haptic button assembly
Inventor: ANDREAS FLOURIS
IPC: H03K17/965
Filed: 2019-08-09
Abstract: Broadly speaking, embodiments of the present techniques provide a haptic button assembly for providing haptic feedback in consumer electronic devices and comprising a compression seal. The compression seal both seals a cavity of the assembly against liquid and/or dust ingress, and exerts a preload force on a force sensing mechanism of the assembly (which also helps to maintain the sealing). Advantageously, because the compression seal is under compression within the haptic button assembly both when the button is not moving and when the button is moving, the compression seal may form a tight seal against liquid/dust ingress.

Title: Performing operations using floating point values
Inventor: ROSTAM KING
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2021-03-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a particular comparison operation using floating point values comprises receiving S302 floating point values one or more in input formats. An exponent range of the floating-point values is extended S304. At least one floating point value is replaced S306 by a substitute floating point value. The replaced value may be zero or infinity and the substitute value may be respectively too small or too large to be represented in the input format but able to be represented using the extended exponent range and may behave like the replaced vale when all other values involved are finite non-zero numbers representable in the input formats. The substitute value may be obtained by shifting the replaced number by an amount which is too small to be represented in the input formats but can be represented using the extended exponent range where the amount acts like zero in the comparison when all other values involved are finite non-zero numbers representable in the input formats. The comparison is performed S308 using the substitute value and a result is output S310. The comparison may be used in identifying intersections with polygons in ray tracing.
