Title: Behaviometric signature authentication system and method
Inventor: AVNI YOSSI
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: A set of sampled data points, associated with a different position along the signature are compared with a set of characterising nodes in a pre-stored user profile. If each identified characterising node lies within a predetermined threshold range of a corresponding predetermined characterising nodethen a positive verification is made. The data points may comprise a time component relating to the interval between a data point and an adjacently located sample data point, or a distance of separation between nodes, or a vector of both time and spatial components. Optimisation matching may be used, to select the highest correlation with stored signature profiles, and to authorize a financial transaction remotely. A hash may be taken to ensure that the new signature is unique.

Title: Coordinating image sensing with motion
Inventor: HOWE WAYNE R
IPC: H04N19/142
Filed: 2015-09-02
Abstract: Apparatus and method suitable for reducing the data compression and data transmission processing in a moving object imaging system as employed in an aircraft flyover ISR (intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance) system 100. This involves transmitting 109 a portion (figures 3) of the captured image pixel data (figure 2) within a frame, whereby the portion represents the pixels (130, 132, 134, 136 figure 3) which differ from that of a previous set of frames (T1-T2 figure 3). Each sensor pixel is identified with a given area on the underlying ground (surface) or surface resolution cell (L1,W1 figure 2). In one embodiment the controller 105 controls either the velocity or the distance of the image sensing system 102 relative to the surface S1 and/or regulates the rate of recording of the pixel frames (frame rate). The controller signal may be based on the requirement that each recording time interval is substantially equal to or an integral multiple (1 <=m< M) of the time it takes for the imaging system to move along the distance L1 associated with the surface resolution cell, in the direction of travel D. Here m is less than the effective number of pixels M in a row identified as being aligned in the direction of travel. In this case, by synchronising the frame rate with the stepwise extension of the pixels 118a-d, pixel redundancy is identified in the image captured in adjacent pixel cells of consecutive image frames (figure 4), thus lessening the burden of post imaging data compression and transmission. In other embodiments the method may include generating control signals to control a velocity of an image sensing system based on a rate of recording pixel frames (frame rate) in the image sensing system. In addition or alternatively the control signal may control the pixel frame rate based on the velocity of the sensing system, and may further control the distance of the sensor from the surface. The method may involve prior determination of the vehicle velocity and altitude by means of a satellite navigation system (GPS). The imaging vehicle may also be a drone, UAV or a satellite platform.

Filed: 2016-03-07
Abstract: A charging station 3 for inductively charging an energy storage device 5 (e.g. one or more batteries) of an electric vehicle 1 (e.g. EV, HEV, PHEV) is controlled when, upon detection of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag 14 near the charging area, an inhibiting control signal S1 is generated by a control means 2. The inhibiting control signal may be configured to control a power supply 18 connected to a base induction coil 8 of the charging station to reduce the electromagnetic field or to inhibit activation of the base induction coil. The aim is to inhibit charging when an object that incorporates an RFID tag (e.g. pet animal collars, mobile phones, etc.), which is not intended to be in proximity to the charging area, is detected near the area. A sensing loop (antenna) 15 may be used to detect the RFID tag. Alternatively, the vehicle induction coil 7 may be configured to function as a sensing loop to detect the RFID tag. The detecting means and the control means may be disposed in the vehicle to communicate with the charging station or it may be disposed in the charging station itself.

Title: Data generation system and methods
Inventor: PATRICK CONNOR
IPC: G06T9/20
Filed: 2017-09-29
Abstract: Generating data representing content to be displayed (1800) comprises dividing (1810) the content to be displayed into a plurality of polyhedra (e.g. cubes, tetrahedra) and generating polyhedron position information. Intersection information that describes the intersection of one or more surfaces within the content with the plurality of polyhedra is generated (1820), and each of the polyhedra is classified (1830) in dependence upon the intersection information. The classification indicates the properties of the surface within the respective polyhedra. Data comprising the polyhedron position information and the polyhedron classification information is then generated (1840). As such, an algorithm such as the Marching Cubes algorithm is used to generate data for transmission and/or storage, effectively compressing the data. Interpolation information may be generated from the intersection information, and this may be included in the classification. The generated data may be divided into separate sets, e.g. representing a higher and lower quality, or two objects within the content. Content may be generated based upon a user’s viewpoint within the content. A group of pictures (GoP) generation unit may generate key frames and predicted frames to store the generated data.
