Title: Methods and systems of securely transferring data
Inventor: JOHN PETER MICHAEL
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2017-09-05
Abstract: Securely transferring master keying material between master dongle 10 and slave dongle 12a-n by connecting each dongle to a data transfer system 30. The slave communications dongle 12 contains a public key and a private key and master dongle 10 contains master keying material. The slave dongle 12 public key is transferred to the master dongle. The master dongle 10 encrypts master keying material (which may be symmetric encryption key generated by FIPS-approved random number generator) with the received public key. The resultant encrypted master key is sent via data transfer system 30 to slave dongle 12 which decrypts the encrypted master key with the private key and stores the decrypted key to decrypt data encrypted by another dongle. Each may require user authentication to unlock before data transfer. The private key and unencrypted master keying material are preferably not transferred to or read by the data transfer system. The slave dongle public key may be scrambled before transmission and unscrambled at the master dongle using a predetermined scrambling algorithm. The data transfer system may be a dedicated device like a USB hub. Multiple slave dongles 12a-n may share the same master keying material to securely communicate with one another.

Title: Establishing hydraulic communication between relief well and target well
Inventor: JOSEPH ELI HESS
IPC: E21B43/117
Filed: 2015-07-02
Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for establishing hydraulic communication between a relief wellbore and a target wellbore during relief well applications are provided. Present embodiments include a perforating gun that uses an explosively formed penetrator (EFP) to establish hydraulic communication between a relief well and the target well for well kill operations. The EFP may be detonated downhole according to the Misznay-Schardin effect, thereby releasing a projectile toward the target well to form a relatively large hole through the casing/cement between the wellbores. The EFP may be positioned in a desired orientation with respect to the target well, in order that the projectile may be directed from the relief well directly into the target well. In some embodiments, the disclosed perforating gun may include several EFP charges positioned along one side of the gun at approximately 0 to 10 degree phasing from each other.

IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2016-05-24
Abstract: A process for selectively activating a guardian camera in response to detecting a distracted user includes first identifying an available camera external to a mobile computing device (MCD) having a field of view that incorporates a current location of a user of the MCD. The MCD then detects that a user's attention is substantially focused on a user interface of the MCD, and responsively transmits an instruction to the available camera to transition to a recording state and/or to begin monitoring an area surrounding the user for unexpected movements or objects. In response to the MCD detecting an indication that the available camera has recorded an unexpected movement or object in the area surrounding the user, the MCD takes a responsive action.

Title: System and method for speech processing
Inventor: Ines Almeida Nolasco
IPC: G10L13/08
Filed: 2020-08-28
Abstract: A speech synthesis model is trained S153 using speech that corresponds to known text S151. A performance metric is calculated as the model is tested S155 using several text sequences, and used to determine S157 if further training is needed. Targeted training text is determined S161 using the metrics so that the training text relates to the text sequences for which further training is needed. The training text is then output with a request for further speech S163. In this way, training material can be recommended so that learning is tailored to measured weaknesses of the model, so that the model undergoes active learning. The metrics may be derived from the output of the model, or intermediate outputs (eg spectral information or alignment) possibly using an attention network. The metrics may be derived by transcribing the synthesised speech using speech recognition and comparing the transcription with the input text.

Title: Utility usage determining apparatus, system, method and device
Inventor: LARS WALLDEN
IPC: G01R22/06
Filed: 2020-12-22
Abstract: A utility, e.g. gas, electricity and water, calculation device to determine the amount of utility that is used in a utility metering system. A pulse sensor, e.g. light detector, magnetic sensor, Hall sensor, Reed switch or inductive sensor, detects pulses from a pulse emitter and generates data corresponding to a relative amount of utility usage. A camera images a visual display, e.g. dial containing numbers, of the meter. The camera is controlled and operated by the device and preferably operates periodically taking pictures in time intervals in order to reduce power used by the device. An image-reading circuit, e.g. optical character recognition, converts the image into data corresponding to utility usage. Utility consumption is determined using the pulse data and the image data. Preferably, a wireless transmitter communicates the amount of utility used, by e.g. a customer, to a utility supplier or a customer. Other preferable features are a light source, e.g. flash, for the camera, a reflective mirror for redirecting a sightline of the camera, temperature sensor, gas sensor, water presence sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope or magnetometer.

Title: Joining multicast sessions
Inventor: Horst Thomas Belling
IPC: H04W28/02
Filed: 2021-04-06
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for handling policy updates in a communications system are disclosed. A request for policy update comprises an indication that a device with a unicast session is joining a multicast session and information about the multicast session. Policy rules are determined based on the information about the multicast session and the policy rules are sent in a response with an indication that the policy rules are related to quality of service (QoS) flows associated with a multicast session. It can be determined that a device with a unicast session is joining a multicast session, whereafter a request for a policy update is sent to a policy control entity (Policy Control Function, PCF). From the response a QoS flow description can be determined, and the QoS flow description can be associated with the multicast session. The request may be sent by a Session Management Function, SMF. The request message may comprise a Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Update request and the response a Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Update response. After receiving the response the SMF may notify a radio access system (RAN) serving the device of the determined QoS flow description.
