Title: Labeling computing objects for improved threat detection
Inventor: HARALD SCHUTZ
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-09-14
Abstract: Processes executing on an endpoint are labelled as either “in”, wherein the processes conform to a compliance policy administered for the endpoint from a remote threat management facility, or the processes are “out”, wherein the processes do not conform to the compliance policy, thereby providing a plurality of “in” processes and a plurality of “out” processes. “In” processes are provided with access to encrypted files through a file system, with access controlled by the file system and limited to processes in compliance with the compliance policy. If a compromise of the endpoint is detected based on a process changing from “in” to “out” when it falls out of compliance with the policy, key material cached on the endpoint is deleted to prevent decryption of the encrypted files through the file system, thereby revoking access to the encrypted files by the processes executing on the endpoint.

Title: Reporting in cellular communication networks
Inventor: BENNY ASSOULINE
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: Processes for managing Self Organising Network (SON) reporting in a cellular communication network. The frequency of SON reports from a UE is defined by a parameter which specifies the interval of a network parameter at which reports should be sent. The network parameter may be an amount of data transmission or number of connections. The value of the parameter may be set by the network or be pre-configured and stored. SON reporting is disabled until the network parameter exceeds a threshold, at which point it is enabled. Alternatively, SON reporting is only permitted while the network parameter is below a threshold value. This is particularly advantageous for very low power devices such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices which are intended to provide long lifetimes without replacing or recharging a battery power source.

Title: Augmented reality rendering method and apparatus
Inventor: DAVID BERNARDINO MARTINS SENA
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2019-01-16
Abstract: An augmented reality rendering method and apparatus is disclosed, comprising capturing first and second images of an environment in which an augmented reality virtual object is to be displayed, wherein the first image is captured using a front-facing camera of a mobile device and the second image is captured using a rear-facing camera of the mobile device. These images are then combined to obtain an environment texture then the positions of one or more light sources within the environment are determined and the augmented reality virtual object is rendered based on the obtained environment texture and the determined positions of the one or more light sources. The first or second images may be rectilinear, and the environment texture may be obtained by distorting such images according to a spherical projection, said images may only partially fill an area of the environment texture in which case the environment texture for an unfilled area may be obtained based on a lower resolution version of said images. Obtaining the environment texture may further comprise obtaining texture information for a plurality of unfilled areas at different distances from a centre of the distorted first or second images based on a mipmap comprising a plurality of lower resolution versions of said images wherein the resolution of these versions progressively decreases as the distance from the centre of the unfilled area increases. The light source positions may be determined by thresholding an image of the environment and identifying a cluster of pixels with brightness values greater than a threshold as a light source and may be determined based on third or fourth images of the environment captured by the mobile device possibly at lower exposure values than the first and second images.

Title: System for producing strain in a fibre
Inventor: PAUL FREDERICK CILGRIM DICKENSON
IPC: G01L11/02
Filed: 2019-09-06
Abstract: A diaphragm 101 is exposed to pressure from a fluid and flexes in response to the fluid’s pressure fluctuations. An optical fibre is positioned such that flexing of the diaphragm causes a change in the fibre’s strain. A substrate for the fibre includes regions of higher resistance 104 and lower resistance 103, to displacement of the diaphragm. As a result, the fibre’s strain varies differentially between the different regions, when the diaphragm flexes due to pressure from the fluid. The fibre may extend longitudinally along the diaphragm and may be divided into sections which vary in coating, pre-straining and bonding to the diaphragm. The substrate may comprise segments which vary in length and may define a groove for the fibre, the segments may also be chambered or rounded. The diaphragm’s flexure may be oscillatory and may be dependent on the frequency of the dynamic pressure fluctuation from the fluid. Also included is a method of measuring strain within the fibre based on changes in strain caused by the different substrate regions and determining fluid pressure. Fluid depth may also be determined.
