Title: Product Identification and Authentication
Inventor: SMITH IAN
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2008-10-24
Abstract: A high magnification image of a surface's microstructure is taken and a pixel cluster is traced along a trajectory. Two or more average pixel cluster densities along trajectories of the scan are used to form a signature. A signature from a reference scan is compared to a signature from a master scan for identification purposes.

Title: A plunge milling method
Inventor: GLAESSER ARNDT
IPC: B23C3/18
Filed: 2008-12-09
Abstract: A plunge milling method, in which a milling tool is moved multiple times in succession in the direction of its tool axis into the material being cut. The region 13 that is to be removed is defined by a plurality of milling paths 14, 15, each defining end positions of a milling head or tool reference point. To each milling path a guide curve 16, 17 is allocated, each guide curve defining initial positions of the milling head or of the tool reference point during the formation of plunge milling bores. During the formation of the plunge milling bores, the tool axis or tool vector is oriented, as a function of the milling path and the respective guide curve, in such a way that there is no danger of collision of the milling tool with a contour that is to be formed by plunge milling. For each milling path, bore axes 18, 19 for plunge milling bores are determined as a function of the respective guide curve, corresponding to a specified degree of overlap of plunge milling bores that are to be formed along the milling paths during the plunge milling. The invention may be used for making integral gas turbine rotor blades 11, 12.

Title: Regularizing offset distribution in towed seismic streamer data
Inventor: BURREN JONATHAN MARK
IPC: G01V1/36
Filed: 2008-12-17
Abstract: Seismic data from towed marine streamers are sorted 51 into two-dimensional common midpoint gathers of traces. The gathered traces are ordered 52 by offset. The offset distribution of the ordered traces is regularized 53. The source and receiver coordinates of the regularized traces are adjusted 54 to reflect the regularizing. Before regularizing, a traveltime correction (e.g. normal moveout NMO) can be applied to minimize spatial aliasing. Also, trace interpolation can be performed prior to regularizing to replace missing or corrupted traces. The offset distribution is regularized by interpolating the actual acquired offset distribution to the regular (nominal) offset distribution, using a Fourier transform technique or a spline technique. Original shot numbers, field file identification numbers and channel numbers are retained.

Title: Authenticating suspect code using key tables
Inventor: CHALLENER DAVID CARROLL
IPC: G06F21/22
Filed: 2007-12-06
Abstract: A system and method for authenticating suspect code includes steps of: receiving the suspect code for a first instance of a trusted platform module; loading the suspect code into a trusted platform module device operatively associated with a processor, wherein the suspect code is loaded outside of a shielded location within the trusted platform module device; retrieving a validation public key from a table and storing it in a register in the trusted platform module device, the validation public key indexed by the suspect code; and retrieving a hash algorithm from the table, the hash algorithm indexed by the suspect code. The hash algorithm is run to derive a first hash value; then, using the validation public key, the second hash value is decrypted to derive a second decrypted hash value. The two hash values are compared; and upon determining a match, the suspect code is loaded into the shielded location of the processor for execution by the processor.

Title: Evaluation of data filtering algorithms for an object tracking system
Inventor: SIMPSON RICHARD EDWARD
IPC: G01S13/00
Filed: 2009-06-19
Abstract: Data is produced by an object tracking system, such as a radar system, over a period. The data is processed using an algorithm, such as a Kalman filter, to filter the data or to produce an estimate from the data. The output from the algorithm is a function of time. Several performance metrics are calculated to determine the performance of the algorithm. The metrics are compared with separate predetermined bounds to see if there are times where the metric exceeds the bound. The times where the metrics exceed the bounds are then used to evaluate the algorithm. If more than one metric is out of bounds at the same time, this may be considered to be an error condition. The results of the evaluation may be used to detect faults in the system or to decide which algorithm to use.
