Title: Method, device, terminal apparatus and storage medium for product authentication
Inventor: TZE CHEUNG CHRISTOPHER CHUANG
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2019-11-19
Abstract: Product authentication including determining whether a product is fake or counterfeit or genuine. The method comprises: scanning, by a terminal, a verification label of the product to obtain a product password and verification information therefrom; obtaining a password input by a user from a user interface of the terminal; comparing the product password with the password supplied by the user; and displaying the verification information if the passwords match. The user may obtain the password from a merchant. The verification information, which is embodied as a letter, character, picture, code etc, acts to indicate successful verification of the product and may be converted to plaintext for display. In an embodiment the verification label also contains a serial number of the product, which when scanned by the terminal is sent to a data center to receive from the data center a corresponding password and verification information. The password retrieved from the data center may be compared to that scanned from the label and the verification information from the label may released through a successful comparison and visually compared by the user with the verification information from the data center to further authenticate the product if both verification information items match.

Title: Path characterising
Inventor: JAREK ROSINSKI
IPC: B66B25/00
Filed: 2021-03-17
Abstract: During operation a body of a machine such as a step of an escalator travels around a path such as a closed loop comprising a plurality of sections of substantially constant direction 301 to 306 separated by a plurality of direction changes 307 to 312 and at least a subset of the plurality of direction changes cause the body to undergo a characteristic movement such as a change in angular velocity associated with a rotation about an axis of the body. A method of characterising the path comprises detecting the characteristic movements of the body as it travels along the path, associating each characteristic movement with one of the subset of direction changes, estimating a distance between adjacent direction changes of the subset of direction changes based on a time delay between sequentially detected characteristic movements and characterising the path using the estimated distances to estimate the lengths of the sections of substantially constant direction. The method may facilitate the detection of wear in components of the machine.

Title: Techniques for memory error isolation
Inventor: JONATHON STUART RAMSAY EVANS
IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 2021-03-19
Abstract: Detecting memory errors and isolate or migrate partitions on a parallel processing unit using an application programming interface to facilitate parallel computing, such as CUDA. Interrupts may be intercepted and processed on a graphics processing unit indicating a memory error 804 for one or more partitions, and a policy is applied to isolate that memory error from other partitions. A virtual partition of hardware is created depending on whether error(s) are detected within storage locations, such as graphics processing unit computing slices. Software programs executed in the virtual partitions may be indicated as being executed by a virtual partition with an error. Individual interrupt tables for the virtual partitions mean that interrupts can be ignored by other virtual partitions.
