Title: Data replication based on compression ratio history
Inventor: HIROSHI ARAKI
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2016-12-05
Abstract: Data is replicated from a first data processing system to a second data processing system. The first system compresses data that is replicated to the second system and maintains a history of the compression ratio of the replicated data. When further data needs to be replicated, the first system consults the history to determine whether to compress the data. If the average of the compression ratios in the history indicates greater compression than a threshold, then the data is compressed. The replicated data may be checked on a file by file basis, with the compression ratio history for each file being stored in an extended file attribute. An integer value between 1 and 100 may be used for each history entry. An additional time parameter may be used to force the data to be compressed at predetermined intervals.

Title: Audio data transfer
Inventor: MICHAEL PAGE
IPC: G06F21/83
Filed: 2017-07-26
Abstract: Audio data such as microphone data representative of an audio signal is received for instance at a voice biometric authentication module in a secure manner, such that the receiving module can trust that the received audio is genuine. An authentication module receives microphone data representative of an audio signal received at the microphone and generates authentication data for certifying that the microphone data did pass via the authentication module. The first authentication data comprises information relating to distinguishing characteristics of the audio content of the microphone data and may be an acoustic fingerprint of the audio content. The authentication data, may be cryptographically signed and sent with the microphone audio to allow a receiver to verify that the audio is genuine and the content has not been substantially altered. The process may be robust to processing of the data that results in imperceptible changes in the audio content.

Title: Transitioning between private and non-private state
Inventor: SANDRO FEUZ
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2017-10-25
Abstract: A computer implemented method is disclosed for automatically transitioning messaging clients into a private state based on the messages themselves. An ongoing message exchange thread between two or more participants operating two or more respective message exchange clients 106 is examined. Based at least in part on the examining, a likelihood is determined that a message(s) in an exchange thread would be deemed private, by at least a given participant of the two or more participants, for example based on the content of the message. A determination is then made of whether the determined likelihood satisfies one or more thresholds, and in response, one or more of the message exchange clients is transitioned into a private state 480. In particular, the transitioning involves sending a command from a first client to a second client to transition to the private state.

Title: Selecting audio input from a hearing device and a mobile device for telephony
Inventor: AMRE EL-HOIYDI
IPC: H04W4/80
Filed: 2018-07-23
Abstract: A method for selecting audio input from a microphone of a hearing device worn by a user or a microphone of a mobile device. A proximity between the hearing device and the mobile device is detected. If the proximity between the hearing device and the mobile device is below a threshold (implying that a user has the mobile device close to their head) then the microphone of the mobile device is used to detect the users speech and generates a mobile device audio signal from the audio input and transmits into the communication network. If proximity between the hearing device and the mobile device is above a threshold (implying that the mobile device is not close to the users head) then the microphone of the hearing device is used to detect the users speech and convert into an audio signal which is then transmitted to the mobile device over a short range link (for example, Bluetooth) and then into the communication network.

Title: Method and apparatus for actuation of downhole sleeves and other devices
Inventor: Glen W Holcomb
IPC: E21B34/14
Filed: 2016-09-02
Abstract: A downhole equalization assembly (100) permits selective and remote opening of at least one downhole port (21) or pathway to allow communication of pressure and/or fluid flow from inside a pressure containing system (such as, for example, a tubular pipe or other pressure containment system) to the outside of the containment system, or vice versa. A control device generating a magnetic field is inserted into a well and conveyed to a downhole equalization assembly. When the control device passes through an equalization assembly, an electronic counter is triggered. When a predetermined counter number is reached, a sliding sleeve is shifted, thereby exposing ports and/or pathways extending between the inside and outside of the equalization assembly. No physical contact or mechanical interference is required between the control device and any other components in order to actuate the equalization assembly.

Abstract: In order to control security risks posed by vulnerable IoT devices having vulnerabilities, and to minimise damages resulting from the devices, a network security method is provided for identifying the type of device that has been connected to a network without requiring prior knowledge of the device/device type or its fingerprint, so that a security related decision (e.g. sandboxing, limiting connectivity, malware scanning) can be made based on the determined type. The invention comprises, at a network gateway, detecting a device connected to the computer network, detecting the device transmitting a DNS query for resolving a hostname, transmitting a query comprising the hostname related to the DNS query to a content rating system, receiving, from the content rating system, a list of categorization categories assigned to the resolved hostname, determining a type of the target device on the basis of the received list, and generating a security related decision on the basis of the determined type of the target device. A network activity report of the target device may be updated with classification criteria (e.g. time connected to the network, list of hostnames, total number of hostnames encountered etc.) and an IoT device detected based on threshold criteria.
