Title: Cybersecurity system
Inventor: BRYAN C HARRIS
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2017-02-24
Abstract: A cybersecurity system detects abnormal behaviour of a user device relative to a peer group to which the user is assigned. An event stream processing engine (ESPE) of the system receives an authentication event block object sent to a first source window, wherein the authentication event block object includes a user identifier of a computing device being monitored by the system, an Internet protocol (IP) address associated with the user identifier, and a peer group identifier associated with the user identifier. The peer group identifier identifies a peer group whose members exhibit similar network behaviour. The system stores the user identifier and associated peer group identifier in association with the IP address in a cache. A netflow event block object that includes a netflow packet IP address is also sent to the first source window, and the ESPE parses netflow data to form a netflow record. If the stored IP address matches the netflow packet IP address, the netflow record is supplemented with the stored user identifier and the associated peer group identifier. The enhanced netflow record can then be used to detect abnormal device behaviour relative to other devices within the peer group.

Title: An electric motor apparatus
Inventor: VASILE COROBAN-SCHRAMEL
IPC: H02P27/06
Filed: 2019-05-15
Abstract: An electric motor apparatus for controlling an electric motor supplied by a source, such as a battery or a dc/dc converter. The motor apparatus comprises a controller to output a set of signals to a drive stage of the motor, where the drive stage applies a voltage to each phase of the motor to cause currents to flow in each phase of the motor corresponding to a current demand signal. A torque demand signal modifier receives a target torque demand signal and outputs an actual torque demand signal that increases in value as a function of time towards the target torque demand value following a predefined ramp selected to ensure that the maximum current gradient of the current demand does not exceed a predetermined limit. The torque demand signal modifier is arranged to modify the predefined ramp as a function of the battery voltage such that the maximum current gradient generated matches a predefined current gradient limit value. The arrangement is suitable for use in an electrically assisted power steering system.

Abstract: An inverter supplies power to a permanent magnet AC, PMAC, motor having a plurality of phase windings. The inverter is controlled, particularly when applying an Active Short Circuit (ASC) mode, by selecting a first phase winding of the PMAC motor; electrically connecting the first phase winding to a first DC terminal of a DC link circuit at a first time, and maintaining the connection between the first phase winding and the first DC terminal; determining a flux difference between the first phase winding and a second phase winding of the PMAC motor; selecting a second time to electrically connect the second phase winding to the first DC terminal; electrically connecting the second phase winding to the first DC terminal at the second time; and maintaining the connection between the second phase winding and the first DC terminal. The second time is selected based on the determined flux difference. The invention is suitable for use where motors must be reduced to a zero torque condition (or safe state), or their power reduced, fairly speedily, for example in the case of a fault with the electric motor or power source or an accident, e.g. in an electric vehicle involved in an accident.
