Title: Thermal pendular engine
Inventor: JARMAN JOHN WARNER
IPC: F03G6/00
Filed: 2012-05-11
Abstract: A thermal e.g. solar powered engine consists of two sealed containers 2, 3 joined by a near horizontal pipe which is pivoted 8 on a support 10. The device interacts with a tuned complementary pendulum 7. A temperature differential exists between the two containers, either by heating one container 3 and/or cooling the other container 2. A vaporising fluid in the hot container 3 causes an increase in pressure and forces some of the working fluid along the pipe to the cold container 2, thereby creating a weight imbalance and pivoting the device. This change in orientation allows gas to escape from the hot container 3, and liquid to return, pivoting the device the other way. Force from this oscillation is transmitted to the pendulum 7 by thrusters 6 which oscillates at its natural frequency in synchronous interaction with the device. Energy can be extracted from the pendulum to perform useful work.

Title: Method of determining an attribute of a subject
Inventor: ROYLANCE STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2014-01-14
Abstract: The invention provides a method of determining an attribute of a subject 10, for example, to provide authentication of the subject 10. An identity provider 200 establishes a first shared secret with a subject 10, i.e. via a communication device 100 of the subject 10, and the identity provider 200 determines whether the first shared secret is associated with an identifier of an entity at a source of authority 300, based on information received at the identity provider 200 from the source of authority 300. The source of authority 300 creates an association between the first shared secret received from the subject 10 and the identifier of the entity, and the source of authority 300 sends to the identity provider 200 information indicating that the first shared secret is associated with the identifier of the entity at the source of authority 300. The invention may be used to authenticate that a subject 10 represents a company, or is authorised to act on behalf of the company, or that the subject 10 is a registered, chartered or certified person, such as a lawyer or doctor.
