Title: Malicious software identification
Inventor: FADI EL-MOUSSA
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-12-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of identifying a derivative of malicious software components 2000 in a computer system by evaluating a measure of a correlation fractal dimension (CFD) 2004 for portions of monitored software components in the computer system. The CFD including a plurality of CFD values varying with a resolution of fractal dimension. The plurality of CFD values are compared 2006 with a reference measure of CFD 2002 for each of the possible malicious software components. Each reference measure of CFD has a set of CFD values varying with the resolution of fractal dimension, so as to identify the possible malicious software components from which the monitored software component is derived. The CFD values may have ranges of values modelled as a plot of CFD values against a function of resolution of fractal dimension giving a slope to the plot. The similarity of the CFD values is the similarity of the slopes of the monitored component and the reference values.

Title: Method of generating electron transfer dissociation reagent ions
Inventor: MARTIN RAYMOND GREEN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2016-09-23
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein first ions are subjected to an electron detachment, electron capture or electron transfer process in order to form second ions having a different charge state. At least some of the second ions having a different charge state are then caused to interact with analyte ions so as to cause at least some of the analyte ions to fragment to form daughter, fragment or product ions, or so as to reduce the charge state of the analyte ions. The first ions are preferably multiply charged ions generated by electrospraying a reagent compound. The reagent may comprise a protein or a peptide. The second ions may be radical reagent ions. The electron detachment, capture or transfer processes utilized may include: electron photo detachment (EPD); electron detachment dissociation (EDD); electron capture dissociation (ECD); negative electron transfer dissociation (nETD); electron transfer dissociation (ETD); charge transfer dissociation (CTD); and metastable atom dissociation (MAD).

Title: Reconfigurable checkout station
Inventor: THIERRY DUBOIS
IPC: A47F9/04
Filed: 2015-01-07
Abstract: A checkout station (10) for a retail store is configurable between an employee-assisted mode and a self-service mode. In the employee-assisted mode, the checkout station (10) is positioned on a checkout lane (30) and a merchant operates the checkout station (10) to checkout a customer from the store. In the self-service mode, the checkout station (10) is positioned on the opposite side of the checkout lane (30) and the customer performs the checkout functions with little or no help from the merchant. A motor (40) in the checkout station (10) is controlled to move the entire checkout station (10) laterally across the checkout lane (30) in response to receiving reconfiguration commands from the merchant. The reconfiguration commands may also control the checkout station (10) to raise or lower its vertical height.
Patent GB-2547551-A (GB)
Title: An electronic circuit
Inventor: PETER ROBERT WILLIAMS
IPC: H03L7/12
Filed: 2017-02-15
Abstract: A signal generator circuit generates an asymmetric triangular-modulated FM-CW swept frequency signal. The circuit provides a desirable reduction in frequency overshoot (30, fig.2) at the end of the sweep fly-back, while maintaining the linearity of the sweep (10, fig.2). The circuit includes a phase lock loop (PLL) section comprising a frequency synthesizer IC 100, and a VCO 110 driven by an error signal 180 from the synthesiser IC via a loop filter 190. The invention reduces the frequency overshoot present in prior art by adding a triangular voltage waveform VRG to the output of the loop filter 190. A generator 210 produces the voltage VRG in the form of an asymmetric triangular waveform signal substantially matched to the shape of the frequency sweep programmed into the PLL. A combiner 200 receives the signal output from the loop filter 200 and the signal VRG from the waveform generator 210. The circuit monitors (fig.4) the output of the PLL loop filter for a non-DC component that would indicate that the sweep differs from the ideal programmed into the PLL frequency synthesizer integrated circuit.

IPC: B65G69/28
Filed: 2017-09-20
Abstract: A controller for a dock leveller comprises a motor, wherein the controller determines the leveller is approaching a maximally raised position by detecting an increase in the power consumption of the motor. The controller may determine a first time period taken for the leveller to move from a resting position to a maximally raised position (fig. 2B), where the leveller is lowered for the same time period (fig. 2C) and then a second time period of the leveller being raised to the maximally raised position (fig. 2D) and a speed ratio may be calculated from the first and second time periods. The controller may comprise a power monitoring unit which may disregard data from a predetermined time period after motor activation. The controller may include a switch connectable to interrupt a power supply to the motor. Also claimed is a controller for a dock leveller comprising a motor and configured to raise a leveller for a known time period based on parameters stored in a controller-readable manner, and lowering the leveller to a storage position after the time period.

Title: Equi snap lead rope
Inventor: DAVID MORRIS WARD
IPC: B68B5/06
Filed: 2018-03-12
Abstract: The safety lead rope claimed relates to a three part breakaway device for increasing safety for both horse and handler when leading and tethering, by having a centre section (P2), typically using hook and loop fasteners (Velcro®) that will release under pressure if the horse gets panicked or ‘spooks’, or the handler becomes entrapped or experiences difficulty. The centre section of the rope P2 will fall to the ground once safely released, whilst a shorter lead P1 remains with the horse and a longer lead P3 remains with the handler, until all three parts can be reassembled to restrain the horse again when control is restored. The lead reduces risk compared to a conventional lead rope with no safety breakaway device.

Abstract: Various transmission techniques and protocols are discussed for a cellular network. In particular unacknowledged protocols are described, together with methods for configuring feedback. A method of data communication at the physical layer (layer 1) is disclosed, comprising: transmitting a configuration signal from a base station to a UE indicating whether the UE should utilise an acknowledged or unacknowledged protocol for data communication at the physical layer; receiving the configuration signal at the UE and the UE configuring itself to utilise the indicated protocol; and conducting data transmission between the UE and base station according to the indicated protocol. The configuration signal may be: an RRC signal, a DCI, a user-specific signal, part of the configuration of semi-persistent scheduling type data transmission, part of the configured grant (or grant-free) configuration. The acknowledged protocol may be a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ). For use especially with massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC) devices in a 5G New Radio, NR, environment, where ACK/NACK signalling for the transmission of small packets of data, may represent a significant overhead and power consumption.
