IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2017-10-31
Abstract: This information processing system is provided with a control unit; a peripheral device provided with a first register; a second register; and an initialization flag circuit. When the information processing system starts up, the initialization flag circuit outputs a High-level signal, and when data that indicates a Low level has been written to the second register, outputs a Low level signal, which is the same level as the aforementioned Low level; if the output signal of the initialization flag circuit is determined to be the High level, then the control unit writes, to the first register, initial configuration data for initializing the peripheral device, and writes, to the second register, data that indicates the Low level, indicating that writing of the initial configuration data has been completed.

Title: Method and apparatus of current picture referencing for video coding using adaptive motion vector resolution and sub-block prediction mode
Inventor: CHEN-YEN LAI
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2019-02-11
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a video coding system with the current picture referencing (CPR) mode enabled are disclosed. According to one method, when the current reference picture is equal to the current picture, an integer motion vector flag is inferred to be true without signalling the integer or parsing the motion vector flag. In another method, when all motion vector differences for the current block are equal to zero, an integer motion vector flag is inferred to be true without signalling the integer or parsing the motion vector flag. In yet another method, when all reference pictures for the current block are equal to the current picture: the sub-block prediction coding mode is disabled; and the current block is encoded or decoded by disabling the sub-block prediction coding mode. Alternatively, derived motion vectors associated with sub-blocks for the current block can be converted into integer motion vectors.

Title: PUF device
Inventor: JACK OWEN DAVIES
IPC: H04L67/1097
Filed: 2021-05-12
Abstract: A wallet application is instantiated E4 using a seed determined E3 using an output from a physically unclonable function (PUF) 600 in response to an input challenge E2. A transform of the seed or PUF output is stored in association with the wallet, and later used to verify a user’s right to use the seed. If verified, a child key is derived from the seed and used to sign a blockchain transaction, which is then recorded on a blockchain 106. The user’s right to use the seed may be demonstrated using an instance of the PUF output re-generated P3 by the user re-inputting P2 the input challenge. The seed may be equal to, or derived from, the output challenge. The transform of the seed or PUF output may be one-way, such as a hash, which may then be compared with re-determined seeds or output. The transform may be an encrypted seed or output decryptable using a user-supplied password.

Patent GB-2618617-A (GB)
Title: Electromagnetic field detector
Inventor: FRASER BURTON
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2022-05-13
Abstract: A radio frequency photon is detected using a vapour cell containing atoms excited to a predetermined Rydberg state by probe 123 and coupling 125 lasers. An incident RF signal from a transmitter 110 excites the atoms to a further Rydberg state. Decay from this further Rydberg state to the ground state emits a photon of optical wavelength which is detected by a detector 127. The Rydberg atoms may be rubidium enclosed in a silica bulb 122 with a highly reflective internal coating and a small exit passage to the detector. A single emitted decay photon can therefore be detected. Two Rydberg cells may be used with polarisation filters to detect different polarisations of the RF signal. This may be used for quantum key distribution (figure 4). The vapour cell may be in a housing (228, figure 3) with an opening to limit detection to a certain direction of incident radio signal.

Title: Fast identification of offense and attack execution in network traffic patterns
Inventor: Wayne Francis Tackabury
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2021-04-23
Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer system to identify threats on a TCP/IP-based network. The approach leverages a set of reference patterns (or "network spectrals") associated with one or more defined Indicators of Compromise (IoCs). At least one reference pattern is time-bounded and profiles a network traffic pattern using a set of session data (e.g., volume, direction, traffic metadata) that is payload-neutral and may be derived in part by time-series compression of at least one non-varying encoding interval. Network traffic data associated with a traffic pattern under test is received and encoded to generate a test spectral. A stream-based real-time comparison is performed to determine whether the test spectral matches against any of the reference spectrals. Responsive to identifying a match, a given remediation or mitigation action is then taken. A reference spectral may represent a bi- or multi-directional flow, and the multi-directional flow may involve multiple entities.
