Title: Method and apparatus for signal regeneration
Inventor: PAUL MASON
IPC: H04B17/26
Filed: 2020-01-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for regenerating a signal is provided. The method involves sampling a received signal 13 to obtain a plurality of samples each having an associated magnitude. The samples are sorted to obtain a statistical distribution 15 which may be a histogram. Known distributions are fitted to the statistical distribution using a fitting operation 16, and for each a measure of similarity is obtained. A matched distribution is then determined from the measures of similarity, the matched distribution corresponding to an optimum value of the measure of similarity. A regenerated signal is then synthesised using the matched distribution and the regenerated signal is then output. Such a method purports to mitigate a storage burden associated with the recording and subsequent regeneration of representative wireless signal environments for wireless device testing.

Title: Communication method and system that uses low latency/low data bandwidth and high latency/high data bandwidth pathways
Inventor: KEVIN BABICH
IPC: H04B7/22
Filed: 2015-12-08
Abstract: A communication system uses multiple communications links, A, B. In some disclosures of the application one of the links may include a high latency but high bandwidth link using a fiber-optic cable and the other communications includes a low latency/low bandwidth link implemented using sky-wave propagation of radio waves. Skywave propagation refracts and/or scatters radio waves from the ionosphere. Skywave propagation is configured to carry smaller volumes of data with a lower latency across a substantial portion of the earth’s surface. However, in the invention claimed both links use skywave propagation. Command data 1116, 1117, 1118 is transmitted on a first communication link, A. Triggering data 1112, 1113 1114 is transmitted on a second communication link, B. The triggering data includes an identifier identifying at least one command contained within the command data. In the invention claimed, triggering data 1113 is also transmitted on the first communication link, A. The two communications links may be used together to coordinate various activities such as the buying and selling of financial instruments.

Title: An improved speaking valve
Inventor: IAN DAVID WORTHINGTON
IPC: F16K7/17
Filed: 2018-11-29
Abstract: A speaking valve 7 moveable between a first configuration (Fig 15A) allowing for inspiration and expiration through the valve, and a second configuration in which expiration is resisted. Increasing the pressure difference across the valve to a threshold causes the valve to transition into the second configuration. In the second configuration the valve continues to resist expiration until a threshold negative pressure difference across the valve causes it to transition back into the first configuration. The valve may comprise a bistable diaphragm 14, with the diaphragm interacting with a valve seat 18 to resist flow through the valve in one of its two stable configurations, said stable configuration corresponding to the second configuration of the valve. The diaphragm preferably has a hole therethrough and is mounted on a shaft 16 with a diameter greater than the hole. Such a valve may be used as part of an airway management device.

Title: Blockchain script engine
Inventor: ALESSIO PAGANI
IPC: G06F21/64
Filed: 2021-12-07
Abstract: Execution of a script formed from a locking script of a first blockchain transaction and an unlocking script of a second blockchain transaction, wherein the script comprises a first script portion, a version function, and a second script portion. A native script engine executes the first script portion and, upon encountering the version function, the native script engine terminates said execution and determines whether the first script portion is valid according to a blockchain protocol. If it’s determined that the first script portion is valid, the native script engine supplies a sub-script comprising at least the version function and the second script portion to a versioned script engine for execution. The execution of the sub-script by the versioned script engine does not affect the validity of the first and/or second blockchain transactions. This allows for blockchain nodes to execute transactions differently in accordance with their capabilities without the network partitioning.
