Title: A telecommuincation end-point device data transmission controller
Inventor: RICHARD PIERS HEATLEY
IPC: H04L12/801
Filed: 2014-06-20
Abstract: A data transmission controller forming part of a telecommunication device, e.g. video phone, encodes and transmits data at a channel bit rate comprising a data rate and a redundancy rate, e.g. a forward error correction (FEC) rate. After detecting packet loss attributable to a competing event in a bandwidth-constrained link 56, 64, the controller determines whether the event has finished so that the data rate may be increased. This involves increasing the channel bit rate in stepwise fashion 68 by increasing the redundancy/FEC rate and reducing or maintaining the data rate, and then checking for an increase in error rate. If the error rate does not increase then the competing event has finished and additional bandwidth is available. In this case the FEC rate is decreased and the data rate is increased. Also disclosed is an audio encoder comprises first and second encoders to encode the same audio data at different data transfer rates and output the two encodings in different data packets (figure 6). A corresponding decoder is also disclosed.

Title: A node testing method and apparatus for a blockchain system
Inventor: RICHARD MATTHEW DENNIS
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2018-12-07
Abstract: A method for a blockchain system is disclosed to assess the suitability or eligibility of a node to act as a confirming node (e.g. mining node or validating node). Three different main embodiments are described: 1) assessing the network bandwidth of a potential confirming node by sending a volume of data to be hashed and determining how long it takes between sending it and receiving the hashed response and also validating that the response matches an expected hashed response. A rolling (recursive) hash may be used to test the connection speed rather than the processing power of the potential confirming node. Potential nodes that meet a threshold requirement may be deemed as eligible to be selected as confirming nodes and a ranked subset may be selected; 2) the processing power of a potential confirming node may be assessed by sending a hash puzzle and seeing how long it takes for a valid solution to be found; and 3) receiving a plurality of confirmation blocks from respective plural confirming nodes to determine a common majority and for confirming nodes that provide a response that differs to the majority excluding them from acting as confirming nodes for a future specified period.

Abstract: A solar power and telecommunications system provides a cell phone 9 or other telecommunications device, a system box 3 preferably including control systems and an electrical charge accumulator, such as a rechargeable battery, and a solar panel array 1. The cell phone 9 is capable of purchasing tokens over the air (OTA). The tokens are then preferably communicated to the system box 3 by a wireless interface, such as BLUETOOTH (RTM). The control system is responsive to receiving tokens by enabling electricity delivery via outlet ports (8, 12, Fig 2) in the system box via an interlock (5, Fig 2) in order to power the cell phone and other devices 11, such as lights. The system box 3 can have tamper-proofing features which will lead to the permanent disabling of the cell phone and/or the accumulator of the system if the system box is tampered with. The cell phone may be rendered unusable by deletion of the phone BIOS. The accumulator may be shorted out to destroy the batteries. The cell phone may be used to purchase tokens via internet or cellular (SMS) communications. The tokens token may allow use of the system for a set period of time.
