Title: Radio frequency analysis using television tuner
Inventor: Christopher Alder
IPC: H04N17/04
Filed: 2015-11-17
Abstract: A digital broadcast receiver 206 receives digital content from at least one TV tuner tuned to a broadcast channel within a broadcast signal 106; a controller acquires signal information related to the channel, and using a network interface transmits this information to a server 112. The information may include channel frequency information for identifying the channel; and one of signal strength, signal quality, or signal to noise ratio of the channel. The controller may acquire signal information of a second channel when the channel is changed, alternatively information may be collected at pre-determined time intervals. One TV tuner may be controlled to scan the frequency range of the broadcast channel and acquire signal information relating to each channel in the range. The receiver may identify its current location with a location unit; the controller transmitting the location using information such as Global Navigation Satellite System coordinates. The controller may also acquire and transmit channel viewing information. The receiver may be a television, or may display digital content on an external device 208.

Patent GB-2536531-A (GB)
Title: Digital phase meter and phase detection method
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER EDWARD GREGORY
IPC: H03L7/085
Filed: 2015-12-21
Abstract: The disclosed circuit measures the phase difference between two RF signals. The RF signals are compared digitally in an EXOR gate circuit and integrated over the phase comparison period. There are two such EXOR circuits. The input signals may be converted to differential signals by the input buffers and applied to both EXOR circuits. Each EXOR phase detector circuit (fig.2) may include an integration capacitor (C1, fig.2). Asymmetry between the upper and lower parts of the gate circuit of fig.2 may result in the non-triangular shape of the EXOR output curves, shown in fig.3a. In the present invention, the RF signals are applied to two EXOR gates, in A and B channels, as shown in fig.1. The resultant analogue signals (fig.3) are digitised. When the A & B channels are averaged, a near triangular output curve results (fig.3b). Two D-Type registers are used to resolve the (0° to 180°) or (180° to 360°) phase ambiguity of the EXOR based detectors. The circuit is suitable for integration into a single MMIC and may find application in Electronic Warfare (EW) applications.

Title: Vacuum cleaner
Inventor: SCOTT CRICHTON
IPC: A47L9/28
Filed: 2017-06-16
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprises a sensor 24 which senses movement of a cleaning head 10 of the cleaner. The sensor 24 is connected to a control unit 25 which reduces the power applied to a motor of a motor and fan unit 17 in the cleaner when the sensor detects that the head is accelerating or decelerating above a predetermined level, so that the cleaner momentarily consumes less power as the head decelerates, changes direction and accelerates again on successive cleaning strokes. The control unit 25 also reduces the power applied to the motor of the motor and fan unit 17 when the sensor 24 detects that the head 10 is static. The power applied to an agitator motor may also be reduced. The reduction in motor power provides the vacuum cleaner with an improved energy.

Title: Identifying and remediating phishing security weaknesses
Inventor: BRADY BLOXHAM
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2017-08-02
Abstract: A threat management facility generates a simulated phishing threat 412, 414, 416 based on one or more characteristics of a network user 410. Based on whether the user fails to respond appropriately to the simulated phishing threat 418, 420, (e.g. detecting that the user attempted to download/open a simulated phishing attachment or simulated phishing URL) the threat management facility may implement prophylactic measures to remediate the security weakness exposed by the users failure to respond appropriately to the simulated phishing threat. For example, a security policy for an endpoint associated with the user may be adjusted 422 to address the security weakness or vulnerability. Additionally, or alternatively, the user may be enrolled in training directed at reducing the likelihood that the user will be the victim of an actual phishing attack in the future i.e. educating the user about phishing attacks. Adjusting the security policy may comprise adjusting the detection sensitivity of a security product e.g. anti-virus or anti-malware product associated with the endpoint. Upon detected handling failure the user may have network/application/e-mail/internet access restricted or terminated. An alternative embodiment comprises determining that the user is missing security updates. The threat management facility may be implemented in an enterprise network.
