Title: Method and arrangement for guiding a user along a target path
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2003-07-24
Abstract: An audio-based guide arrangement is provided for guiding a user along a target path by the use of virtual audio beacons. The user's current location is sensed and compared to the target path. Sounds are fed to the user, for example through stereo headphones, to simulate one or more audio beacons appearing to be located in a direction at least approximating the direction of the target path onward from the user's current position. Preferably, each successive location of the audio beacon is determined by determining a segment onward from the user's current position of a piecewise linear approximation to the target path, and setting the apparent location of the beacon at or relative to the end of this segment.

The short-term private key (St) is stored in lower-security storage, 15, in the computing entity, 11, for a limited period that encompasses the operational period in respect of which the key (St) was generated. A second embodiment relates to a cryptographic system comprising: a first entity arranged to use the private key of an associated static public/private key pair to form a plurality of different short-term private keys each for use during a corresponding limited operational period; a public key infrastructure for providing a certificate associating the first entity with the public key of its static public/private key pair; and a second entity arranged to use a known formula and known data to migrate the static public key of the first entity, whilst retaining the assurance provided by said certificate, to form short-term public keys each for use, during a corresponding said limited operational period, in carrying out cryptographic operations for which there exist complimentary operations requiring use of the corresponding short-term private key.

Patent GB-8612713-D0 (GB)
Title: Electrophoresis
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 1986-05-23
Abstract: Light from the pattern of spots of bands resulting from electrophoresis is detected by a two-dimensional charge coupled device (26). Visualisation of the spots or bands may be achieved by viewing in transmitted light if the material subject to electrophoresis is dyed, by fluorescent markers in the material stimulated by untraviolet, or by a scintillating material if radioactive markers are used.Preferably the charge coupled device (26) is cooled to suppress thermal dark current, improving sensitivity and dynamic range.Light can be detected from moving components during separation by electrophoresis by clocking the charge coupled device to move charge packets in synchronism with movement of the components. This means that each charge packet moves through all the elements of a charge coupled device column during the detection, resulting in automatic averaging for the detection sensitivity variations in the charge coupled device column. Further, it is thereby possible to detect each separated band or spot at the same position in the gel at different times, and thus at the same degree of resolution, instead of detecting the bands or spots at different positions at the same time.

Patent GB-9216151-D0 (GB)
Title: Containment of plant germplasm
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1992-07-29
Abstract: A recombinant plant genome contains a gene cascade such that it is incapable of producing a mature plant but requires the presence of a chemical inducer. The gene cascade includes a gene switch which is inducible by external application of a chemical inducer and which controls expression of a gene product which affects expression of a second gene in the genome. Survival or development of the plant is dependant upon either expression or non-expression of the second gene and application of the inducer, therefore, selects whether or not the plant develops. In one example the second gene encodes a cytotoxic molecule and expression of that gene is fatal to the plant. In another example the second gene encodes a desirable characteristic which may be excised selectively by applying or withholding chemical application. The second gene may be placed under control of a development regulated promoter.
