Title: Network security
Inventor: MAHMOUD WATFA
IPC: H04W76/18
Filed: 2020-02-12
Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits a first message to an AMF, such as a control plane service request message. It then receives from the AMF a second message indicating that the integrity check on the first message failed. The UE then retransmits the first message but excluding some of the data, where this data may relate to cellular internet-of-things (CIoT) user data, SMS or a location service message. The second message may be a security mode command including a RINMR bit, and the first message may be retransmitted in a NAS message container in a security mode complete message. In a second aspect of the invention, the UE, whilst operating in a first mode such as N1 mode, receives a message from the AMF instructing it to apply a null encryption algorithm. If the UE supports a second mode, such as S1, but the message does not specify an encryption algorithm for the second mode, null encryption is applied. In a 5G system, the invention prevents data that is not related to an emergency session from being sent in an unprotected manner.

Patent GB-2599086-A (GB)
Title: Process
Inventor: KENNETH ANDREW QUINTON
IPC: C25B15/00
Filed: 2020-09-15
Abstract: A process for conditioning an oxyhydrogen flame, suitable for welding is described. The process, apparatus and flame itself can be used in the welding of lead and/or an alloy. The oxyhydrogen (mixture of oxygen and hydrogen, HHO, Brown’s gas) is conditioned by passing the gas mixture through an organic solvent which may contain an alcohol. The gaseous mixture can be produced by the electrolysis process, so that the gas is produced on demand. The gas produced through electrolysis may have an undesirable water content and the conditioning process addresses this issue.

Title: Screening kit for detection of grades of cervical cancer and process for the preparation thereof
Inventor: KAUSTABH KUMAR MAITI
IPC: G01N21/65
Filed: 2019-07-24
Abstract: The capabilities of using gold nanoparticle as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to obtain cervical smear harvested cells biochemical information for non-invasive cervical precancerous detection were presented in this patent document. A SERS reagent and a platform has been developed and optimized for the generation of a differential spectral fingerprinting for cervical cancer detection. SERS measurements were performed on three group's cervical exfoliated cell samples: one group from patients (n = 36) with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer and another group with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (n= 41) and the last group from healthy volunteers (control subjects, n = 47). Tentative assignments of the Raman bands in the measured SERS spectra suggested interesting cancer specific biomolecular changes, including an increase in the relative amounts of amino acids, nucleic acid, carotenoid contents in the cell samples of cervical cancer patients as compared to that of healthy subjects. The results from this study demonstrated that gold nanoparticle based SERS substrate harvested exfoliated cervical smear cell analysis has tremendous potential for the non-invasive detection of cervical precancerous lesions.

Title: Panoramic image construction based on images captured by rotating imager
Inventor: Enrique Sanchez-Monge
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2019-05-15
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for panoramic image construction based on images captured by rotating imagers. In one example, a method includes receiving a first sequence of images associated with a scene and captured during continuous rotation of an image sensor. Each image of the first sequence has a portion that overlaps with another image of the first sequence. The method further includes generating a first panoramic image. The generating includes processing a second sequence of images based on a point-spread function to mitigate blur associated with the continuous rotation to obtain a deblurred sequence of images, and processing the deblurred sequence based on a noise power spectral density to obtain a denoised sequence of images. The point-spread function is associated with the image sensor's rotation speed. The second sequence is based on the first sequence. The first panoramic image is based on the denoised sequence.

Title: Detecting a loop length change in a digital subscriber line
Inventor: Feiyu Fang
IPC: H04M3/30
Filed: 2022-03-23
Abstract: A test echo response is generated from a digital subscriber line (DSL) using a single ended line test, the test echo response comprising a frequency domain trace. A historical echo response associated with the DSL is retrieved, the historical echo response comprising a frequency domain trace previously taken from the DSL. A plurality of scale factors are applied to the frequency axis of the test echo response or to the frequency axis of the historical echo response to generate a corresponding plurality of adjusted test echo responses or adjusted historical echo responses respectively. The difference between each of the adjusted test echo responses and historical echo response or the adjusted historical echo responses and the test echo response is calculated. The scale factor that resulted in the lowest calculated different is identified and compared to a threshold. A loop length change is then determined in dependence on the comparison of between the identified scale factor and the threshold. The amount of loop length change (as a percentage or length) may be determined using the identified scale factor.

Title: Method of controlling an operating state of a computer system and corresponding computer system
Inventor: Dominik Kraus
IPC: G06F1/3206
Filed: 2023-01-19
Abstract: Controlling an operating state of a computer system (1, fig.2) includes triggering a command instructing the system to transition from a main operating state to a standby state defining an operation of the system (1, fig.2) with a lowest power consumption compared to the main operating state. A power consumption of the system (1, fig.2) is measured and a main supply mode of a power supply unit (2, fig.2) of the system (1, fig.2) is maintained as long as a threshold value of the measured power consumption of the system (1, fig.2) is exceeded. Transition of the system (1, fig.2) from the main operating state to a power-saving state is initiated as soon as the threshold value of the measured power consumption of the system (1, fig.2) falls below the threshold. The power-saving state corresponds to a state with reduced power consumption compared to the main operating state, wherein the power supply unit (2, fig.2) of the system (1, fig.2) is switched in the power-saving state to an auxiliary supply mode with a reduced power output compared to the main supply mode. The power-saving state may correspond to the standby state.
