Title: A method, system and computer program for deciding whether to install a first application within one of a plurality of candidate environments
Inventor: CHARTERS GRAHAM CASTREE
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2010-11-25
Abstract: There is disclosed a method, apparatus and computer program for deciding whether to install a first application within one of a plurality of candidate environments. An environment comprising one or more other applications. The first application and a candidate environment are analysed to determine whether there is the potential for the first application to interact in an unintended manner with an application in the candidate environment. If there is no such potential, then the environment is identified as a suitable environment into which to install the first application. One or more applications are associated with one or more rules that specify at least one of: an entity that is to be used within that application; an entity that is provided by the application but may be used outside of that application; and an entity that is to be procured from outside of the application. An unintended interaction is when a rule would be broken by an interaction between the first application and an application in the candidate environment.

Title: Locking networked cameras to receiving station sockets based on camera state and identification information
Inventor: HO KA HO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2012-07-06
Abstract: A method of connecting at least one network based (e.g. Internet, IP) camera 12 to a video station 14 having at least one socket 16 for connecting the networked camera includes: sending a (camera-advertising) signal from the camera to the video station, notifying the presence of the camera, the signal including a camera identification (ID) tag; if the camera is in an unlocked (free, available) state, locking ownership of the camera with the respective connected socket; and if the camera is in a locked (assigned to socket) state and is not locked by the respective socket, terminating connection between the camera and the video station. Thus, at any time, each socket can lock ownership of only one camera, and receives video from the only one camera with ownership locked by the respective socket. Therefore, installation of network-based cameras - more complicated than analogue cameras â   is simplified. Further, because video data from the IP-based cameras is sent over a shared network, hackers can access cameras by connecting to the shared network, or replace video images sent from the camera (â  spoofingâ  ); these problems are resolved by the dedicated locked camera-socket system.

Title: Impedance probe
Inventor: AGATE LINDSAY
IPC: G01N27/07
Filed: 2012-10-24
Abstract: A probe comprises an insulating body portion 10 arranged to carry a first and second electrode 16, 18 where the probe has a longitudinal axis and the first and second electrodes extend in this longitudinal axis. The body portion has a cross-sectional area perpendicular to the longitudinal axis defined by a major axis 12 and minor axis 14, wherein the length of the body portion in the major axis is greater than the length of the body portion in the minor axis. The first and second electrodes are positioned on either side of the major axis. This reduces the effect of impedance between the electrode and a liquid being measured through increasing the effective distance 22a, 22b, between the electrodes. The probe may be used for measuring the concentration of live biomass using capacitance measurements.

Title: Controlling access to secured data stored on a mobile device
Inventor: EDWARDS CHRISTOPHER PAUL
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2012-11-23
Abstract: In a secure data system 100, secure data is stored on a mobile device 102. A request is received from a requesting application 106, 108 to release one or more data items associated with a user, e.g. user credentials. One or more inputs are received from the user 110 specifying (i.e. confirming) if the requested data items can be released. The user input may also comprise verification of user identity, i.e. user authentication. If a received user input specifies that a requested data item can be released then the item is released to the requesting application. Each time access to a data item is requested a certificate associated with the user may be checked and, if invalid, access to all stored data items is revoked. The secure data may be provisioned by an external provisioning system 104, (206, fig. 2) and is, preferably, stored in a secure data store (200, fig. 2), e.g. encrypted. The requesting means, input device and data store may operate within a trusted execution environment whilst the requesting application may operate outside that environment.

Title: Computing prioritised general arbitration rules for conflicting rules
Inventor: JUNKER ULRICH MARTIN
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2012-12-12
Abstract: Method and system are provided for computing prioritised general arbitration rules for conflicting rules. The method includes: i) given a set of prioritised rules, considering a case having an applicable rule; ii) generalising to a family of cases with conflicting rules of highest priority for the family cases; iii) generating an arbitration rule of higher priority; and iv) adding the arbitration rule to the set of prioritised rules. The method may repeat until all conflicts are resolved and may include: generating arbitration rules resolving conflicts among original rules in the set of prioritised rules; and resolving conflicts among arbitration rules by adding additional priority layers until all conflicts are resolved. The proposed invention relates to managing business rules used in automated decision making, for example decisions about acceptance or rejection of a loan request, amount of damages awarded in an insurance claim or about sales discounts.

Title: A desaturation detection circuit for use between a power switching device and the desaturation detection input of an optocoupler
Inventor: COTTELL ROBERT ANTHONY
IPC: H03K17/08
Filed: 2013-01-22
Abstract: A desaturation detection circuit 200 comprises a threshold setting circuit 202 and a detector 206. The input 208 of the threshold circuit may be connected to the output of a power switching device, e.g. the collector of an IGBT 20, via one or more diode(s) D1, D2. The threshold circuit 202 sets an input threshold and provides an output signal at its output 210 when the input voltage exceeds the threshold. The detector 206 has an input 218 connected to the output 210 of the threshold setting circuit, and an output 220 connected to the desaturation detection input of an optocoupler 10. The desaturation detection circuit 200 thus monitors the voltage at the input 208, determines whether it exceeds a desaturation voltage and, if so, triggers a desaturation routine in the optocoupler 10. The threshold level for circuit 202 may be set by resistors R2, R6, R7 and, principally, by R8. The trip level of the of the desaturation detection circuit 200 can thus be set independently of the fixed internal threshold level of the optocoupler 10.

Title: Electrical load ballasting
Inventor: JUBBER EDMOND
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 2014-02-18
Abstract: A method of voltage regulation of an electrical power sub-system (referred to as an electric circuit) of a motor vehicle, in which the electric circuit comprises a generator 12 providing an output voltage, a primary load 13 switchable between an on-state and an off-state and a ballast load 21 which is also switchable between an on-state and an off-state. The method comprises identifying that the primary load is required to be either switched to the off-state or to the on-state and, in response, co-ordinating switching the ballast load between the off-state and the on-state with switching said primary load to its off-state; or co-ordinating switching the ballast load between the on-state and the off-state with switching said primary load to its on-state, such that the voltage of the electric circuit is regulated. Synchronising switching of the loads in this way balances the load on the electrical circuit such that voltage spikes and voltage dips may be minimised or eradicated.
