Title: Vehicle Speed Determination
Inventor: POPHAM THOMAS
IPC: B60Q1/00
Filed: 2012-09-04
Abstract: A vehicle mounted time of flight camera system 12 repeatedly captures an image of the scene ahead of the vehicle. A point of interest 14, 15, 16 in the scene is identified, and comparative vehicle speed determined according to the changing relative distance to the point of interest. Several points of interest, in the near and far fields, are simultaneously followed so that vehicle speed is continually updated     for example, note a preceding point of interest 15 and a next point of interest 16. The scene is illuminated with a cone of infrared light 13. The sideways motion of the vehicle relative to the image can be analysed to give a relative speed across the scene. This sideways motion may be horizontal or vertical with regard to the vehicle. Relative motion in all directions can be computed so as to determine movement in three mutually perpendicular directions of translation and in pitch, roll and yaw.

Title: A Network Security System
Inventor: ROBERTSON IAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2013-07-09
Abstract: A network security system generates an alert in response to a security breach being detected in a proxy server in a data processing network. A distributor 300 intercepts a request for a resource from a client device 105 and creates a duplicate of the intercepted request. The distributor forwards the intercepted request to a first type of proxy server 110a and the duplicate to a second type of proxy server 110b, wherein the proxy server types differ. A comparator 305 receives the respective outputs from the two proxy servers and compares them. If the outputs differ then an alert is generated. In another embodiment (fig. 4) a distributor intercepts a requested resource from a server and creates a duplicate of it. The requested resource and its duplicate are forwarded to first and second types of proxy server respectively. A comparator receives the outputs from the proxy servers and generates an alarm if they differ.

Title: Power switching arrangement for line insulation monitoring
Inventor: DAVIS JULIAN R
IPC: G01R31/12
Filed: 2014-07-24
Abstract: Line insulation monitoring of a pair of conductor lines L1, L2 in a cable, e.g. an underwater cable, uses a first power switch 101 in the first conductor line L1 and a second power switch 102 in the second conductor line. A line insulation monitor 27 is connected at a first end of the pair of conductor lines and a transformer 28 at the second end electrically connects the first and second conductor lines together. In a monitoring configuration, one of the power switches is closed while the second power switch is open (see figure 3b). This allows the line insulation monitor to see through the closed switch and the transformer up to the open switch. The line insulation monitor can therefore test the insulation of the conductor lines. The line insulation monitor may be located underwater in a hydrocarbon extraction facility. A pair of independently operable power switches for an umbilical cable is also disclosed.

Title: Methods and systems for the detection of ricin and other ribosome inactivating proteins
Inventor: SULIMAN HUDA SIRAGELDIN
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2013-05-21
Abstract: A device, method, and system for the detection of ribosome inactivating protein activity, including the ricin toxin, in a sample. According to one embodiment, the ribosome inactivating protein in the sample removes an adenine from a labeled DNA substrate to create an abasic site. An AP lyase can then cleave the DNA substrate at the abasic site, allowing the fluorophore located at or near one end of the DNA substrate and the quencher at or near the other end of the DNA substrate to spatially separate. Once the fluorophore and the quencher are sufficiently separated, the fluorophore will emit a fluorescence signal. Increasing fluorescence, indicating ribosome inactivating protein activity, will be monitored in real time using a detection system.
