Title: Delivering hash valves
Inventor: JERRY DAVID CHAN
IPC: H04L67/1087
Filed: 2020-12-10
Abstract: Deriving the next block for a blockchain transaction relies upon determining a solution to a current cryptographic hash problem using a proof-of-work arrangement. Commonly hashing pools tackle this problem with multiple hashing devices working in parallel to solve the problem on behalf of the hashing pool. This document involves the hashing devices encrypting the candidate solutions 403 it generates before they are returned to the hashing pool 404. Such encryption may be enforced through the firmware used by the hashing devices and e.g. verification of the firmware in use by the hashing device(s) by the hashing pool before providing a block header 401 giving the hashing device the current problem to solve. This avoids pool-hopping by the hashing devices and ensures any solutions generated are given to the hashing pool also avoiding withholding of solutions. In a second embodiment the hashing pool may count 406 the number of solutions provided by a hashing device to the hashing pool to ensure a contract is being fulfilled by the hashing device and e.g. that it is not working on behalf of other hashing pools at the same time and is generating a number of solutions reflective of its hash rate.

Title: Phishing detection
Inventor: DAVID PRYCE
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2018-06-26
Abstract: A method and a device to detect phishing attacks that uses a pre-defined statistical model to determine whether one or more network resources are a potential phishing threat. The method comprises the steps of: (i) receiving one or more network resource identifiers, (ii) extracting one or more features from the one or more identifiers, (iii) applying the pre-defined statistical model to the extracted features and (iv) classifying the network resource as a phishing threat if the output of the statistical model determines it as such. Examples of identifier features are: subdomain characteristics such as length, quantity, presence of hyphens, presence of alphanumerics or the Kullback-Leibler divergence of subdomains in a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). The statistical model may be trained by a machine learning algorithm and a Random Forest algorithm may be used to combine multiple features for historical data. As phishing websites are typically ephemeral a distributed blacklist of such sites is soon out of date and the advantage of the invention is that it provides a real-time threat analysis without the need to distribute lists of known phishing websites.
Patent GR-880100147-A (GR)
Title: Pump control system
Inventor: LUDDING FRANS
IPC: A61M5/172
Filed: 1988-03-11
Abstract: A pump control system is described in which the pumping mechanism causes corresponding movement of a pair of capacitor plates (64,66). The plates are energized by an a.c. signal, and the signal produced by the plates is amplitude detected, with the amplitude modulation representing pumping force. The pumping force is converted to pumping pressure. The pumping pressure peak during pumping and the pressure minimum during filling are detected to determine the portion of a pumping cycle required to make the transition between these two pressure levels. The difference between the two pressure levels divided by the transition portion of the pumping cycle gives a measure of the compliance of the pump chamber. The ratio of the compliance measure to the total cycle, when multiplied by the nominal chamber volume, gives a measure of unpumped volume, which is subtracted from the nominal volume to give the volume actually pumped during a pump cycle. The volume pumped is compared with a desired flow rate to determine a speed control value for the motor of the pumping mechanism. A motor control signal is developed by subtracting from a constant number a value which is a factor of the speed control value and the position of the motor.
