Title: A computing device, method and system for controlling the accessibility of data
Inventor: NORMAN SHAW
IPC: H04W12/00
Filed: 2019-03-28
Abstract: Controlling the accessibility of data by a computing device. A method comprises: sending a request for access to data; receiving a first token via a first network, and a second token via a second network; and determining whether to provide access based on a comparison of the first and second token. The tokens may be sent from an authentication server. The data may be held on the memory of the device, or may be on a remote device. The first token may be sent via a beacon or mobile device, and sent using a short-range network such as Bluetooth. The second token may be sent directly via a long-range network such as LTE. The request may include an identifier including location information, such as beacon identifier; user information or device information. The method may make different data accessible depending on location. Embodiments may enable Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).

Patent GB-2600089-A (GB)
Title: Processing communication sessions
Inventor: ANDREW JOHN TYLEE
IPC: H04L45/302
Filed: 2020-10-07
Abstract: Telecommunications network operators typically provide network infrastructures where communication functions are deployed with redundancy. In the event of failure of an active node the network operator transfers the communication session to a backup node. However, backups use more resources than are needed to perform state replication and exchange keep-alive messages. The invention provides a virtualised environment comprising a first active virtual machine (VM) having a dedicated backup VM, and a second active VM and third active VM sharing a backup VM. By adding an additional session classifier, for example to a load balancer fronting an SBC cluster, a session determined to be classified as a predetermined type is processed at the first active VM. This provides a 1:1 high availability cluster giving a more seamless failover for those calls requiring enhanced protection. In response to a negative determination the session is steered to the second active VM. The N+k cluster of simplex instances (where each active VM does not have a dedicated backup VM) offers a lower level of protection for calls but reduces the hardware requirements compared to a pure Nx(1+1) model which reduces costs as well as power usage.

Title: Computer-implemented methods, apparatus, computer programs, and non-transitory computer readable storage mediums for determining a value of a parameter
Inventor: ANTHONY BROOK
IPC: G01L27/00
Filed: 2021-02-09
Abstract: An operating parameter of a system is determined by: receiving measurements of the parameter from first sensor and second sensors; receiving a third signal, which may be a modelled or predetermined value of the parameter; determining a first absolute error using the first, second and the third signal values; and comparing the first absolute error with at least one threshold to determine a signal value of the parameter. The parameter may be pressure, temperature, humidity, velocity, vibration, or an acoustic or electromagnetic wave. The system may be a gas turbine, engine, wind turbine, generator or motor. The first absolute error may be calculated from the differences between the first and third, and second and third, signal values. If the absolute error is under the threshold, the determined signal value may be the average of the first and second signals; if it exceeds the threshold, the signal value is the closer of the first and second values to the third value.

Title: Verification apparatus, control method therefor, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium
Inventor: JUNICHI GODA
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2021-03-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a verification apparatus comprising setting means for setting a feature point of a reference image as a verification target image, and a reference region of a predetermined pattern formed in advance on a recording medium on which the verification target image is to be formed. An extraction means extracts the set feature point from a read image obtained by reading an image formed on the recording medium by a print apparatus and a specifying means specifies, based on a positional relationship between the set feature point and the reference region, from an image position of the extracted feature point, a first region on the read image, which indicates a region where the predetermined pattern should have been formed, and a second region other than the first region of the read image. A verification means performs verification for the first region by a first algorithm and verification for the second region by a second algorithm different from the first algorithm.
