Title: Establishing secure connections in ad-hoc wireless networks in blind trust situations
Inventor: KALOGRIDIS GEORGIOS
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2004-03-05
Abstract: Ad-hoc or spontaneous networks are not generally able to rely upon certifying authorities or the like to provide trust in the party you are communicating with. Therefore the establishment of secure links in such networks is problematic, three solutions are proposed. In the first a device joining the ad-hoc network will only establish a secure link if only one other device attempts to communicate with. This builds on the resurrecting ducking approach where a device connects to the first, of possibly many, other devices it communicates with by trying to ensure that malicious devices are not in the vicinity. The second requires a user to authorise the link before establishment. The third establishes a link, but assigns a level of trust to it which limits how data received over the link can be processed.

Title: Dynamic generation of forms
Inventor: BEYNON MEGAN
IPC: G06F17/22
Filed: 2004-12-31
Abstract: For dynamic generation of forms on devices such as mobile telephones a device user enters a form descriptor code comprising a set of alphanumeric characters, and a form generator applies stored mappings between the input characters and a set of electronic form components. This identifies required form components. The form generator dynamically generates an electronic form having the identified form components, and displays the form on a display screen of the device. The device user completes the form and sends the completed form to a target data processing system. The dynamic generation of a form in response to a simple input code can be used to control the format of user-entered data, such that the data is validly formatted when received at the target.

Title: LED Signal Lamp Circuit
Inventor: TICHBORNE FRANK GEORGE
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2001-12-11
Abstract: An LED signal apparatus comprises input power supply terminals 7, 8, a series connection of switch means S1-S4 and a ballast load 6 connected across the supply terminals, an LED signal lamp 1, 2 connected to the terminals, and switch operating means D1 to D4. The switch operating means control the state of the switch means whereby failure of the current supply to the LED signal lamp results in the switch means opening to disconnect the ballast load for the power supply. In this way the LED signal lamp will appear to a signal monitoring system to be the same as a filament bulb signal. The ballast resistor causes the LED signal to draw a similar amount of current as a filament bulb signal and the disconnection of the ballast resistor upon failure of the LED signal results in the same no current situation that would exist if a filament bulb failed. A plurality of LED arrays may be provided as well as plurality of switch means and switch operating means.
