Title: Circuitry for use in smart cards and other applications
Inventor: Alison Lloyd
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2018-07-20
Abstract: A smart card 1000 power splitter comprises an inductive coupler and rectification circuitry 1001 which receives an AC electrical signal from a near-field RF communications antenna 1006 and converts it into DC electrical energy for powering an auxiliary circuit 1007. The rectification circuitry comprises a rectifying element connected in a shunt configuration to an input connection to provide a one-way conduction path between the input connection and a reference voltage connection, and a first inductor 1003 through which the AC signal flows. A second inductor 1005 is inductively coupled to the first inductor and provides the AC electrical signal to a near-field RF communicator 1009. Also disclosed is a smart card blank comprising a chip seat for seating a chip assembly in the card blank, wherein the first inductor is disposed adjacent the chip seat. The first inductor may provide impedance matching between the rectifier and the near-field RF communications antenna. The power splitter allows power to be supplied simultaneously to the near-field RF communicator and the auxiliary circuit, which may be a biometric sensor. This allows a reduction in interaction times between the smart card and a reader.

Title: A private search service
Inventor: MOHAMED AHMED ABDELRAHEEM
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2021-06-10
Abstract: The invention provides a database configured to store encrypted files on a first cloud server and a table on a second cloud server. The table is a key value store, wherein the keys are unique secret values, which relate to a specific instance of an update operation of a specific keyword and the values are encrypted database values. An update operation may be adding a new file or deleting a file from the database. An update operation of a specific keyword is therefore adding or deleting a file that contains the specific keyword. Each unique secret value is associated with an encrypted database value. Each time a file containing a keyword is added or deleted from the database, a new unique secret value is generated and added to the table along with its associated encrypted database value. A client can interrogate the table to identify all the unique secret values associated with a user selected keyword, retrieve all the encrypted database values, extract file identifiers from them and use the file identifiers to retrieve all the files containing the user selected keyword in the database. The user may then download and decrypt the files containing the user selected keyword.

Title: Method for noise reduction of a three-phase-driven electrical machine
Inventor: JAN NÄGELKRÄMER
IPC: H02P25/022
Filed: 2022-01-25
Abstract: A method for noise reduction of a three-phase-driven electrical machine 1, particularly a synchronous machine, where the cause of perturbing noises can be reduced directly in the excitation of the rotor or stator. The angular state 2 of its rotor 3 is recorded and a reference frequency 4,5,6 calculated on the basis of the recorded angular state. The sine 7 and cosine 8 values of the calculated reference frequency are formed and filtered by a secondary section 9 that models the control section 10 for the electrical machine by means of a transfer function, and thereby forming a reference signal vector. A weighting vector 13 is formed based on a sound-related feedback variable 12 recorded at the electrical machine and the reference signal vector. A superposition signal 14,15,16 is formed from the sum of the sine value and cosine value weighted with the weighting vector and applied to a manipulated variable 19 of  the electrical machine. The arrangement may be used in an electrical vehicle.
