Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument 200 comprising an electrosurgical device 202 within a catheter 204 insertable through an instrument channel of a scoping device. The electrosurgical device comprises a coaxial cable 206 terminating in a radiating tip 208 of smaller diameter than the cable and employing a radiating needle 212. The electrosurgical device is movable between a deployed position in which the needle protrudes out of the catheter, and a retracted position in which the needle is contained within the catheter. Also taught is a handpiece (1000, Fig 10) for controlling movement of an electrosurgical device along a catheter. The handpiece comprises a first section (1002, Fig 10) connectable to an instrument port of a scoping device, a second section (1008, Fig 10), movable along a length of the first section, and capable of holding the catheter. Relative movement between the first and second sections controls the length of catheter that extends out the handpiece. A third section (1016, Fig 10) is movable along the second section, the third section having a coaxial connector (1020, Fig 10) arranged to receive a coaxial cable within the catheter, whereby relative movement between the third and second sections controls the position of the coaxial cable.

Title: Identity verification protocol using blockchain transactions
Inventor: DANIEL JOSEPH
IPC: G06Q20/42
Filed: 2019-11-15
Abstract: Providing credentials enabling a first party’s identity to be verified using blockchain transactions, the first party 701a being associated with a first public key registered with a third party 704. A credential is provided to a second party 703 (which may be the third party) and a request blockchain transaction Txrt is obtained. The request transaction’s input comprises a signature based on either the second or third party’s private key, and its output is locked to a public key of the first party (which may be the first public key). A confirmation blockchain transaction Txct is generated, its input comprising both a reference to the request transaction’s output and a signature based on the private key corresponding to one of the first party’s public keys. By transmitting the confirmation transaction to the blockchain the first party confirms their identity by way of the signature based on their private key. The transactions may be pay-to-public-key-hash (P2PKH) transactions, with the request transaction transferring its input from the second or third party to the first party, and the confirmation transaction being the first party spending that input. The method may be used in a two-factor authentication system for making a credit card purchase.

Title: Improvements in and relating to positioning in a telecommunication network
Inventor: MYTHRI HUNUKUMBURE
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2020-07-15
Abstract: A telecommunication network implementing a positioning function to locate a UE. The function determines if Dynamic TDD is enforced, sets parameters for a periodicity, slot offset and/or repetition value for one or more of a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) and a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) such that at least one parameter aligns with Dynamic TDD transmission periodicity, P. The periodicity may comprise downlink (D) and uplink (U) slots. Repeated PRS may be configured within first downlink slots having lower slot offsets; repeated SRS within the last uplink slots having higher slot offsets. The PRS and/or SRS periodicity may be configured to periodicity integer multiples but not within any N(D+U) slots. The PRS and/or SRS may use one or more Comb-N patterns. The configuration of PRS and/or SRS may be based on QoS positioning requests. A single dynamic TDD slot configuration may be applied across all cells in the network with similar parameters applied for PRS and/or SRS. If dynamic TDD is enforced with a mostly N(D+U) slot configuration, the PRS and/or SRS may be configured within these slots with comb-N patterns and parameters such to align with Dynamic TDD transmission periodicity.
