Title: Crimping machine automatically adjusting to pitch of incoming terminals
Inventor: BAINBRIDGE ANDREW
IPC: B65H23/188
Filed: 2010-03-23
Abstract: An apparatus for feeding crimp terminals 23 on a carrier strip 24 into a crimping press 21, the separation between the terminals along the strip being the pitch of the strip, comprises a feeding mechanism 25 for the carrier strip, an image capture means 28 to capture an image of a portion of the feed path, and an image processing means 30. The image processing means determines the position of at least one terminal on the feed path from the image, determines the pitch of the strip either from the image or from a pre-stored value, and calculates an alignment displacement of the strip along the feed path 26 from the position and pitch such that a further terminal on the strip lies within a crimping zone on the feed path. The crimping press 21 then crimps the terminal.

Title: Monitoring (E)PLMN changes for connected mode handover and notifying UE for improving management of CSG whitelists
Inventor: SEBIRE GUILLAUME
IPC: H04W8/08
Filed: 2011-08-22
Abstract: When a user equipment (UE) 20 hands-off from a serving cell-A 24 to a target cell-B 28 in a connected/dedicated mode/state it may not perform an update operation (eg. location/registration update). In these circumstances it will not receive an updated Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) whitelist/Allowed CSG List (ACL) 102 for the target cell. If the PLMN and equivalent PLMN (EPLMN) on the target list differ from the whitelist 101 of the original cell problems registering with CSGs (eg. cell-C 30) may occur. For example, registering with CSG not allowed in the new PLMN or not considering CSG that are newly allowed. The invention monitors PLMN changes at handover (HO) and signals the UE when changes occur, possibly using HO commands or system information (SI) messages. The UE may then refrain from reporting new cells until a registration/location update has occurred. In alternatives the target cell may trigger an update and thence supply the target whitelist or the serving cell may provide the target whitelist in HO command or SI message.

Title: Mobile application for credential recovery
Inventor: LALWANI AKHIL
IPC: G06F21/31
Filed: 2012-12-04
Abstract: In a credential recovery process, a user is authenticated using an application 2 running on a mobile communications device and requests recovery of a credential. The application generates a session key encrypted with the public key of a gateway 4, and sends the encrypted key to the gateway. The gateway recovers the credential from a depository 6, encrypted using a symmetric key shared with the depository. The gateway decrypts the credential and re-encrypts the credential using the session key. Preferably, the decryption and re-encryption is performed within a hardware secure module within the gateway. The re-encrypted credential is sent to the application, which decrypts the credential and outputs it to the user. In this way, the credential is provided securely to the user and may be made available for use immediately, or nearly so. The credential may be a card PIN for authorizing payments.

Title: Guided image filtering for image content
Inventor: VERMEIR THIJS KOEN
IPC: H04N9/64
Filed: 2013-07-12
Abstract: Enhancing an image by upsampling 18 the spatial resolution of a chrominance component 14 of the image, then applying a guided image filter 20 with an adaptive radius parameter which is variable for different pixels of the image. The guided image filter takes a filter image 19 and a guidance image 17 as inputs and the radius parameter determines the spatial extent or kernel size of the filter. The original image has a luminance component with a higher spatial resolution than the chrominance component and preferably the guidance image 17 is the luminance component. The window size or radius of the filter may be determined by analysing the luminance image data in a window around the current pixel. A histogram 15 may be formed from the luminance values used in the analysis and the radius could be inversely proportional to the number of brightness levels in the histogram. An apparatus claim is also included.
