Title: A method of rendering an electrical power cable identifiable
Inventor: Cecil Albert Mitchell
IPC: H01B13/34
Filed: 2019-09-16
Abstract: A method of rendering an electrical power cable 13 identifiable by impregnating a plurality of discrete identifiers 12, in the form of very small hexagonal discs, into interstices of the electrical cable 13 through use of a carrier medium in the form of a cable rejuvenation fluid 11 which is configured to expel moisture from voids in the dielectric layer of the cable in order to reverse the adverse effects of electrochemical degradation of ageing cables. Each identifier 12 is configured to render the cable identifiable by including proprietary identification data associated with the owner of the cable which is unreadable to the naked human eye. In this embodiment of the invention, the identifiers 12 comprise metallic microdots. The fluid 11 prolongs the service life of the cable whilst the microdots significantly increase the chances of positive identification of stolen cables which could lead to arrest of suspects thereby discouraging theft.

Title: Absorbent stack of sheets having compressed binding
Inventor: JULIE ANN PAVELETZKE
IPC: D21H27/30
Filed: 2017-10-31
Abstract: Disclosed are stacks of absorbent sheets, such as paper towels, toilet tissue, napkins, facial tissue, and the like. The stacks generally comprise a plurality of absorbent sheets bound by compressing the sheets to form a binding element. The binding element is generally free from adhesives or mechanical fasteners, and acts to bind the sheets to one another and form the 5 stack. The binding element may be disposed along only a portion of the stack or may extend continuously across a first dimension of the stack. Binding the stack in this manner generally results in individual sheets arranged in facing arrangement with one another without an adhesive disposed between them and as such the entire sheet may be used once it is dispensed from the stack.

Title: Analytical instrument circuitry
Inventor: ROGER SMITH
IPC: H03K5/24
Filed: 2020-09-03
Abstract: An analytical instrument (such as a Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer/Mass analyser or chromatographic separation device) comprises circuitry to generate an output signal 2 from an input signal 1, the circuitry comprising: a comparator 3, input circuitry (1,4) configured to provide the input signal directly or derived from the input signal to the comparator 3; and reference circuitry 5 configured to provide a reference signal to the comparator; wherein the comparator is configured to generate the output signal directly or via output circuitry (6 figure 3). The reference circuitry (e.g thermometer IC, FPGA, DAC) is configured to alter a magnitude of the reference signal depending on one or more conditions of the input circuitry, the comparator and/or the output circuitry. The input and or output circuitry may comprise an operational amplifier (op-amp/buffer 4). Thus the adaptive reference signal when applied to the comparator input may compensate for variations in the system due to variations in the conditions (e.g temperature of voltage) thus providing reduced variations in the input to output signal time delays. The input signal may for example be electrical pulses from an acceleration (pusher) electrode of a Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass analyser, whilst the output signal may be supplied to a data acquisition circuit of the analyser. Other applications in the system are disclosed. Other embodiments are disclosed including a Time of Flight mass analyser comprising the circuitry and a method of operating such a circuit.

Title: Cryptographic verification of database transactions
Inventor: YANNIS PAPAKONSTANTINOU
IPC: G06F16/23
Filed: 2019-11-25
Abstract: A database management system receives a request to perform a transaction. The database management system commits the transaction, and in response to committing the transaction, generates a cryptographic hash based on an attribute of the transaction. The cryptographic hash is stored in a leaf-region of a hash tree. In response to a request to verify the transaction, signatures are retrieved from the tree based on a traversal of the tree to locate the node corresponding to the transaction. The retrieved signatures are used to verify the transaction.

Title: Charging security device for electric work vehicles
Inventor: THOMAS LESLIE TWIGGER
IPC: B60L53/16
Filed: 2022-02-03
Abstract: A charging security device for an electric work vehicle having a battery, wherein only authorised operators are able to begin charging of the battery. The charging security device includes: a lock (e.g. retractable pin) that secures a charging cable to a charge port 110 of the vehicle; a receiver that receives a signal indicative of an operator identifier from a transmitter; and a processor that compares the operator identifier against a list of authorised operators. The charge port may be housed in a charge port compartment 120 and covered by a door 130 in a plane of a vehicle exterior surface 140. In an event that the operator identifier corresponds to an authorised operator, the charging security device allows the state of the lock to be changed and allows charging to be initiated. In an event that the operator identifier does not correspond to an authorised operator, the charging security device prevents the state of the lock from being changed from a locked state to an unlocked state and prevents initiation of charging. The operator identifier may be received from a key via Bluetooth when the key is in proximity with the vehicle. The charging security device may compare the operator identifier against the list upon the charging cable is being connected to the vehicle or upon a request to disconnect the charging cable from the vehicle (e.g. pressing a button or switch).
