Title: Electro-mechanical padlock with keyless access control
Inventor: HOLDING ANDREW CHRISTOPHER
IPC: E05B67/36
Filed: 2007-10-29
Abstract: An electro-mechanical padlock is operated by temporary security codes, rather than keys or cards, the codes being provided to the user by a remote code generator. The padlock is unlocked when a valid security code is presented to a padlock processor 12 (for example via buttons 9) to cause an electro-mechanical actuator 7 to withdraw a plunger 16. The padlock bolt 1 is then rotated using thumbwheel 10 so that an eccentric at 11 acts on a member 2 to disengage (via spring 3) a locking plunger 4 and allow the padlock bolt 1 to be withdrawn. Presentation of an invalid code results in plunger 4 being held in the position shown by plunger 16 and rotation of the bolt acts only to depress member 2 against spring 3 to protect actuator 7 from force overload. The padlock generates a new code periodically based on time elapsed from the initialisation of an internal clock. The remote code generator is in synchronisation with the padlock and can provide the required code for example using SMS.
Patent GB-2443930-A (GB)
Title: An efficient RF amplifier with adaptive bias and adaptive matching
Inventor: MURAO YOJI
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2007-11-09
Abstract: To achieve better efficiency it is known to vary the drain supply voltage or the gate bias voltage of a FET amplifier in dependence on the signal envelope. However, this changes the FET impedances and so to maintain optimum matching at all times the input and output matching circuits are adapted in dependence on the variable supply or bias voltage. The matching circuits 6, 8 may be adapted additionally in dependence on the signal frequency. The matching circuits may be adapted by use of variable capacitance diodes or phase shifters. The delay controller 5 provides time for the bias controller 4 to respond to a change in signal envelope. The delay provided by controller 5 may depend on the adapted supply or bias voltage. Envelope information may be obtained at baseband (figure 7). The RF amplifier may use a bipolar transistor.

Title: Using a human readable code communicated using a trusted channel to verify that a distributed public key was issued by the party who claims to have issued it
Inventor: KERMODE ALAN ARTHUR MICHAEL
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2008-01-15
Abstract: This application concerns a public key distribution system which is resilient against man-in-the-middle attacks. It overcomes the problem of determining whether a public key received at a recipient was sent by the sender who claims to have sent it, or by a party impersonating the sender. This is achieved by generating an identity code from a hash of the public key and communicating this between recipient and sender out-of-band, for example using spoken means, written means or any other form of trusted channel. The invention obviates the use of certificates, a central authority, permanent storage of secret information or exchange of secret information. The public key may be used for encryption or digital signing.

Title: Determination of imaged object centroid using CCD charge binning
Inventor: BELL RAYMOND THOMAS
IPC: H04N5/372
Filed: 2008-06-17
Abstract: A CCD device 22 comprises an array of pixels arranged in rows and columns defining an image area 24. A method is provided to quickly determine the position of an object (see 'signal spot') in the image area by clocking charge to one edge of the image area, binning (ie summing) the charge to a first output register 30. Charge is then accumulated for a second period and clocked to a different edge of the image area in an orthogonal direction to the first edge, the charge being binned to a second output register 32. The binned accumulated charge can then be read out to give an intensity distribution of the imaged object in the orthogonal X,Y directions to determine the position of the object without the need to analyse every pixel. This reduces the processing time required to determine the position of the object within the image.
