Title: Methods for enhancing efficiency and cost effectiveness of first pass review of documents
Inventor: KRAFTSOW ANDREW
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2008-12-11
Abstract: Methods for reviewing a collection of documents to identify relevant documents from the collection are provided. A search of the collection can be run based on query terms, to return a subset of responsive documents. A probability of relevancy can be determined for a document in the returned subset, and the document is removed from the subset if it does not reach a threshold probability of relevancy. Documents in a thread of a correspondence (for example, an e- mail) in the responsive documents subset can be added to the responsive documents subset. Further, an attachment to a document in the responsive documents subset can be added to the responsive documents subset. A statistical technique can be applied to determine whether remaining documents in the collection meet a predetermined acceptance level.

Title: Electrical analyte sensor with optical output
Inventor: FORD THOMAS ALEXANDER
IPC: G01N21/17
Filed: 2009-01-30
Abstract: A sensor array for detecting the content of a fluid sample comprises first and second electrodes 10, 11 having connections 14, 15 for a drive signal. The first electrode 10 is coated with a layer of a first material having optical properties which change according to the electrical charge passing through it or the potential across it. Sensor sites are defined by islands 12 of a second material having electrical properties (charge passing through or the potential across the second material) that, in response to the drive signal, vary according to the fluid sample composition. Thus the optical properties of the first material are a function of the electrical properties of the second material, and so are indicative of an analyte. An optical reader is used to measure optical properties (e.g. transmission, reflection). Numerous embodiments of the sensor chip are provided.

Title: Authentication and activation of circuit protection devices
Inventor: GANLEY SEAN
IPC: G01R31/327
Filed: 2009-08-28
Abstract: A fixture 100 comprises means to measure resistance 106; a current generator 105; a timer 107 and means Such as motor 104 to adjust the calibration screw of a circuit breaker 101. The resistance of a main circuit path and the time taken to respond to a generated current can be measured; the measured parameters validated by a secure remote sever 111; and adjustment applied to the calibration screw, which can be secured by glue, heat or a plug in the screw aperture. The calibration screw can be adjusted using a motor 104 and a rotary or linear encoder to determine revolutions of the screw; under the control of a controller such as personal computer 108 using a program that transacts with the server 111. The time to interrupt can be measured across, and a programmed test current applied to, the line in and out terminals of the breaker. The breaker can be tested and calibrated during manufacture; then de-calibrated and rendered unusable by turning the calibration screw until its contacts open. The fixture may be used to authenticate the circuit protection devices by verifying measurements and serial numbers against parameters recorded in a database; to re-calibrate and activate it at the point of sale; and to identify counterfeit devices.

Title: Brain computer interface system using lights flashing at different phases and frequencies.
Inventor: LEE PO-LEI
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2009-10-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a brain computer interface system 100 having a light flashing unit 11 and a brain activity detecting unit 12. The light flashing unit 11 displays in an array a plurality of flashing light sources 111-118 for viewing by a user 5. Each of the lights provides a flashing light output with a flashing time sequence having a phase different to the time sequence of the other flashing lights. The detecting unit 12 detects the electroencephalography (EEG) signal from the user while the user is gazing at a user selected flashing light. The detecting unit includes a processing that receives the EEG signal and processes it to produce a visual evoked potential (VEP) which is used to determine which of the lights the user is looking at, based on the frequency and phase parameters of the signal. The system outputs a control command corresponding to the selected flashing light which controls the operation of a connected device 2. The array may have lights flashing at different frequencies.

Title: Isolation circuitry for hiding a power consumption characteristic of an associated processing circuit
Inventor: TOKUNAGA CARLOS ALFONSO
IPC: G06F1/26
Filed: 2009-12-18
Abstract: Isolation circuitry 25 is provided for coupling between a power supply 40 and processing circuitry 15 in order to provide power to the processing circuitry whilst hiding a power consumption characteristic of that processing circuitry. The isolation circuitry comprises a plurality of sub-circuits, each comprising a capacitor, a first switch providing a connection between the capacitor and the power supply, a second switch providing a connection between the capacitor and the processing circuitry, and a third switch providing a connection across the capacitor to partially discharge the capacitor. Control circuitry controls the sub-circuits, such that within each sub-circuit the first, second and third switches are placed in an active state in a repeating sequence. Each of the sub-circuits further comprises a comparator to place the thud switch in an open state when a predetermined non-zero voltage difference across the capacitor is reached during the active state of the third switch. This ensures that the voltage across the comparator at the end of the discharge operation is always the same irrespective of the voltage present at the start of the discharge operation and the power consumption characteristic of the processing circuitry is entirely hidden by the isolation circuitry.
