Title: Enhancement of audio signals
Inventor: MATTHEW TURNER
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2016-07-07
Abstract: A system for real-time enhancement of an audio/speech signal on a network derives hearing capability parameters of a user at predetermined frequencies (via a hearing test 67) and using this unique hearing profile (which may be linked to a user MSISDN reference number) to eg. filter or adjust the audio signal. A second users voice may be characterised by a unique voice profile in order to shift the pitch or tone of the speech towards the hearing profiles requirements, and ambient noise filtered before delivery to the users device. This pre-enhancement may take place centrally within eg. a mobile phone network (20, fig. 2) so as to simulate a user-end hearing aid.

Title: Method and device for filtering packets
Inventor: Robert John Dale
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-11-21
Abstract: A data filter 1 filters packets by deriving metadata 4 from elements of the layer 2, layer 3 or layer 4 headers of received packets 2. An action decision is made on packets identified 5 to contain the following: formats other than one or more specified EtherTypes, Etherframe broadcast data, VLAN tagging information, broadcast, multicast or reserved destination IP addresses. An additional level of assurance may be provided by verification of the packet data against data serialisation languages such as YAML or bitmap (BMP) file types. If the data does not conform to the required standard then format of the data payload may be transformed by file conversion or by providing a wrapper around it with a different file type. Prior to transmission 3 it may be decided to use the original packet header or to construct a new header 6 which may be a modification of the original or a completely rewritten version to a different standard.

Title: System and method for controlling a plurality of light fixture outputs
Inventor: GARY BEWICK
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2015-07-10
Abstract: A method of controlling a plurality of light fixtures. The method includes detecting the light outputs of a plurality of light fixtures and detecting a reflection of light from a surface. The light outputs and the reflection of light are analyzed. Differences among the light outputs of the plurality of light fixtures are determined, and a difference between the reflection of light and a desired reflection of light is determined. New or updated values for output color, output brightness, and output spectra are determined for the plurality of light fixtures such that the light outputs of the light fixtures are consistent and correspond to a desired light output, and such that the reflection of light corresponds to the desired reflection of light. Each of the plurality of light fixtures is then driven using respective light source output values to produce the desired light outputs.

Title: Autonomous vehicle workload allocation
Inventor: ERIC SHE
IPC: B60W50/029
Filed: 2017-07-13
Abstract: A vehicle system includes a first vehicle component 110A, such as a braking module, at least partially controlling a vehicle action and a second vehicle component 110B, such as an accelerator module, at least partially controlling a vehicle action. A coordination controller 120 detects a first vehicle component failure, possibly by receiving a signal from arbitration block 125, selects a vehicle mode (315 fig.3) and allocates workloads of the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component according to that mode. First and second components may be linked by actuators to allow the second component to control the first component system, in the event of a first component failure, when commanded to do so by the coordination controller thus allowing at least partial system redundancy. The controller may be programmed to determine a component failure based on a driver condition, vehicle traction capability, power supply operability, traffic condition, ambient temperature or distance to a destination.

Title: Labeling computing objects for improved threat detection
Inventor: ANDREW J THOMAS
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2015-09-14
Abstract: An application firewall 810 is deployed at a network gateway 808 and provides conditional, rules-based access to network resources 806 by an object such as an application 804 executing on an endpoint 802. The application is monitored and coloured or labelled, in response to a first observed action, with a descriptor of a context for the action and having one or more attributes selected for relevance to threat detection. The first action includes exposure to out-of-network data by the application. In response to a second observed action, a rule dependent on the descriptor is applied at the endpoint to detect a reportable event that is communicated from the endpoint to the firewall. The firewall then limits access by the application to the network resource based on the event. The second action includes a transmission by the endpoint of data labelled as secure.
