Title: Document processing
Inventor: GREGG ROGER JOHN
IPC: G06Q30/04
Filed: 2013-03-19
Abstract: The disclosure concerns systems and methods for extracting data from documents. A computer receives a message from a sender. The message has the electronic document and an electronic address of the sender. Based on the address of the sender the computer selects a map that comprises location data of data fields and determines values of the data fields by extracting data from the electronic document using the location data of the selected map. Since the computer selects the map based on the address of the sender the computer does not need to rely on the content of the electronic document to select the correct map to use, which makes the selection less prone to errors and the method can be used with existing email systems.

Title: Negative impedance converter-based impedance matching technique to achieve multi-feed multi-band antennas
Inventor: SAMPSON HU
IPC: H04B1/40
Filed: 2015-07-24
Abstract: Transceiver ports 3A-3C are matched to respective feed points 2A-2C of a compound antenna system 1A-1C by matching networks, at least some of the matching networks comprising a negative impedance converter (NIC) 5A,5B located between passive pre-matching 4A,4B and post-matching 6A,6B networks. The pre-matching networks 4 may be configured to selectively decouple the branches in the frequency bands of interest despite coupling between radiating elements. The post-matching networks 6 may decouple branches connected to a single transceiver port (figure 9). The pre-matching network may increase the real part of the antenna impedance and transform the imaginary part of the antenna impedance so that it increases from negative to positive in the frequency band of operation, the NIC then cancelling this reactance and the post-matching network converting the residual impedance to 50 Ohms.

Title: Water sprinkler
Inventor: TANG CHIEH YU
IPC: B05B3/16
Filed: 2016-03-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a water sprinkler which includes a housing 1 and an ejection head 12. An impeller (21, see fig 2) is assembled in the housing, pushed by water, and connected to a cam 2. A water-hit target (3) is pivoted with the housing via a compression spring (31), and an impacted portion 32 of the water-hit target extends outside of the housing. The water-hit target repeatedly impacts the housing because of the pivoting motion caused by the pushing of water flow and by the pulling of the compression spring, so that the housing is pivoted to change the ejection direction of the ejection head 12. A water baffling cover 4 is pivoted with the housing and an abutted member 5 is assembled on the water baffling cover and abutted against the cam. The cam can push the abutted member to drive the pivoting motion of the water baffling cover, so that the water baffling cover shields the ejection head by different extents. Additionally, an elongate groove (43) may be provided with a rack (431) that co-operates with a pinion and knob (52, 51) to adjust the pivoting angle of the water baffle.

Title: A relay node, a method of configuring a relay node, a computer network, and a method of operation of a computer network
Inventor: SARAH HAINES
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-03-31
Abstract: A Multi-Level Security (MLS) solution is implemented over a networking architecture, where the MLS solution comprises a policy-controlled protocol that facilitates secure information sharing between different networks/organisations and across securitydomains. The solution uses a boundary protection processing entity to control data flows between security statuses. A relay node 13 comprises a RINA boundary protection processing entity having access to security credentials corresponding to two or more security statuses. It is thus able to form a facility with a processing entity in a first node 11 having a first clearance status, and is also able to form a facility with a processing entity in a second node 12 , having a second clearance status, forming a multi-level facility. Data may be routed from the first node to the second node via the boundary protection processing entity. The boundary protection processing entity forms a security boundary within the multi­level facility, which controls the data transfer by inspecting the data and determining whether it is suitable for the destination node based on a boundary protection policy.
