Title: Method for generating verifiable random selections
Inventor: DERK JAN STEFAN HAMMINGA
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2018-11-07
Abstract: Validatable random seed generation. A secret token 3 is chosen e.g. a title, password etc. A cryptographic hash function 2 is applied to the secret. The resulting hash code 4 is cryptographically signed 5. The signature 7 and hashcode are submitted 8 to a second party, which may comprise a public blockchain. Entropy data 12 obtained from the second party is combined 11 with the secret token. The combined data is used as a seed 14 for a pseudrandom generator. The secret token and data based on the generated pseudorandom data is shared with second or third parties. The entropy data and secret token may be combined using a cryptographic hash function. The dominant source of entropy for the entropy data obtained from the second party may be taken from the hash code of the finalised blockchain block storing the submitted signature and hash of the secret token. The method allows verification by sharing the secret token with verifying parties. Applications may include verifying the randomness of lottery draws.

Title: System and method for accessing a privately hosted application from a device connected to a wireless network
Inventor: Ranjith Kumar Chennupati
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2018-02-19
Abstract: A method and system for determining a path of data traffic based on a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address, the destination IP address being either private or public and belonging to any one of multiple organizations. In the method and system, a VPN is activated at a telecommunication endpoint. In response to activating the VPN, a service device on a private network interconnects with a VPN gateway. A subscriber identifier associated with the telecommunication endpoint and the destination IP address of one of the multiple organizations is received at a managed service platform. If both the subscriber identifier and the destination IP address of the one of the multiple organizations are not registered in a predetermined policy database at the telecommunication endpoint, a subscriber identified by the subscriber identifier is prompted to register the subscriber identifier associated with the telecommunication endpoint. The subscriber identifier is then registered in the predetermined policy database, based on information received from the telecommunication endpoint in response to the prompting. If the subscriber identifier and the destination IP address of the one of the multiple organizations are registered in the predetermined policy database, the service device on the private network routes the data traffic to a private network resource of the one of the multiple organizations matching the destination IP address. If the subscriber identifier is registered in the predetermined policy database and the destination IP address of the one of the multiple organizations is not registered in the predetermined policy database, the service device on the private network routes the data traffic via an IP transit service to a public internet.

Title: Vehicle cabin ventilation
Inventor: ROY ALAN HARRIS
IPC: B60H1/34
Filed: 2019-12-23
Abstract: A vehicle has a passenger cabin and a ventilation system (10, figure 1A) including a vent 40 to discharge air into the cabin. The air may be heated or cooled. The vent comprises a housing 43,55 defining a vent inlet 51, vent outlet 42 and a chamber therebetween. A flow divider 60 splits the chamber into first and second passages 46,47 and includes a trailing edge, which may take the form of a bulbous member 62 or a converging end (62’, figure 6). The first and second passages meet at the trailing edge such that respective ventilating air flows ‘A1’,‘A2’ flowing along the passages converge and combine to provide an outward flow ‘A’ from the vent outlet. A valve element 52 may be rotated to control the relative proportion of the air flows and so determine the direction of the outward flow. The vent outlet is a curved, elongate slot that ideally follows the curvature of a dashboard it is in to extend across a width of the cabin. The trailing edge of the flow divider is correspondingly curved. A gap ‘G’ between the valve element and flow divider may prevent whistling noises.

Title: A full waveform inversion of seismic data using partial match filtering
Inventor: JAMES COOPER
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2020-07-13
Abstract: A method for seismic exploration includes obtaining 310 recorded seismic data, generating 330 synthetic data corresponding to the recorded data using a model of the underground structure, and computing 340 a partial match filter (PMF) which partially matches the recorded data and the synthetic data. The method further includes generating 350 auxiliary data using the PMF and one of the synthetic and recorded data and updating 360 the model based on the auxiliary data. The updated model is useable to locate natural resources in the explored underground structure. Other aspects relate to an apparatus and computer readable recording medium. The method may involve using full waveform inversion and as such, auxiliary data replaces one of the observed data and the synthetic data in the FWI’s objective function to avoid cycle skipping. The generating of the auxiliary data may include a convolution by the PMF or solving a least squares problem. The generating of the auxiliary data may partially compensate for timing and amplitude differences between the recorded and synthetic data.
