Title: Method and device for removing error patterns in binary data
Inventor: TOBIAS BLAETTLER
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2014-10-30
Abstract: When decoding product coded data (typically row and column parity or equivalent codes 102,103) the invention identifies pathologic error patterns that have been detected but not corrected by the component codes. These are typically wherein multiple errors exist in a subset of the rows and columns (see Fig. 3 for instance). The method checks for zero remaining errors 104 which will terminate decoding and for error patterns that can be corrected by a further round of row/column decoding 105 which will trigger that further decoding. If neither of these cases occur the invention checks if too many errors exist 106 and if so decoding is terminated. If there are not too many errors the pathologic error pattern is deemed to be removable and the error bits are inverted/flipped 107 before initiating another round of row/column decoding. Checking whether an error pattern is removable is an optional feature in the claimed invention.

Title: A driveshaft assembly
Inventor: GILLETT MATT
IPC: F16C3/02
Filed: 2015-02-20
Abstract: A drive shaft assembly 10L, 10R; 110 is provided. The drive shaft assembly is formed from two concentrically arranged drive shafts 11, 12; 111, 112 that are fastened together near to one end of the drive shaft assembly 10L, 10R; 110 so as to prevent relative rotation therebetween. The drive shafts 11, 12; 112, 113 are connectable together near to an opposite end via a torque sensitive driveable connection 13, 14; 113, 114. The torsional stiffness of the drive shaft assembly 10L, 10R; 110 is primarily dependent upon whether one or both drive shafts 11, 12; 111, 112 are arranged to transmit torque. The driveable connection 13, 14; 113, 114 is operable to either connect the two drive shafts 11, 12; 111, 112 together or not based upon the magnitude of torque applied to the driveshaft assembly 10L, 10R; 110. Therefore the drive shaft assembly 10L, 10R, 110 provides more than one torsional stiffness allowing it to be better optimised to meet differing operational requirements.

Title: Verifying a user's identity based on adaptive identity assurance levels
Inventor: Robert e lee
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-05-26
Abstract: A system for managing access to a computer-based resource receives a request identifying a user seeking access to the resource. The system obtains a set of security levels for a set of identity-proofing techniques, wherein the set of security levels is based on success rates of the identity-proofing techniques in preventing fraudulent access to resources. The system then calculates an identity assurance level for the user based on the security levels and a set of success rates of the user in completing one or more of the identity-proofing techniques. If the identity assurance level of the user meets a minimum identity assurance level, the system enables access to the resource. If not, the system may respond by providing one or more options for increasing the identity assurance level to the minimum required for access. The system is able to adapt to changes in the security landscape and maintain the appropriate degree of assurance at the time of the request.

Filed: 2015-11-30
Abstract: An integrated circuit having a security supervision system with a plurality of functional circuit blocks mutually interconnected so as to be capable of collectively performing data processing tasks. One or more communication interfaces to the functional circuit blocks are capable of sensing the state and/or activity of the functional circuit block. A memory stores definitions of state and/or activity of the functional circuit block and actions corresponding to each definition. In security mode the communication adaptors monitor traffic characteristics between the cores, and the state of the cores, for a match to a stored related trigger. The state and/or activity of the said functional block is compared with each definition and when state and/or activity of the said functional block correspond to a stored definition the corresponding action is performed. The action is one of at least partially disabling the functional circuit block and causing a message to be transmitted to a destination off the integrated circuit.

Title: Method and apparatus for acoustic crosstalk cancellation
Inventor: Vitaliy Sapozhnykov
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2017-03-06
Abstract: An acoustic crosstalk canceller for an asymmetric audio playback device, by determining a transfer function of an acoustic stereo playback path 212, 214 having asymmetries defined by speakers SL, SR of the playback device. The transfer function is inverted to determine an inverse transfer function. The inverse transfer function is regularised by applying frequency dependent regularisation parameters to obtain an acoustic crosstalk canceller. Preferably less crosstalk cancellation and spectral coloration is applied to higher frequencies, e.g. above 8 kHz. Preferably the crosstalk canceller is able to reduce the difference between individual loudspeakers respective frequency responses. Preferably separate crosstalk cancellers are used depending on whether the playback device is in portrait playback or landscape playback. There is a further invention where the inverse transfer function is regularised for symmetric playback paths by applying aggregated frequency dependent regularisation parameters to obtain an acoustic crosstalk canceller without band branching. The application relates to reducing acoustic cross-talk for stereo speakers associated with small devices such as smart-phones.
