Title: A multi-capability apparatus supporting background RFID tag-reading and corresponding methods
Inventor: Nicholaus Adam Jones
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 2017-02-17
Abstract: A portable multi-capability apparatus 101 has a non-RFID capability 104 and an RFID-tag reading capability 105. Upon determining that the apparatus is employing the non-RFID capability, the apparatus automatically causes the RFID-tag reading capability to operate in a ping mode of operation 302 as a background task while also continuing to simultaneously use the non- RFID capability. The apparatus could also correlate the non-RFID capability, or a tag response, to a location, for example in a retail facility. The non-RFID capability could include reading barcodes or printing labels.

Title: A lightweight sleeping aid device
Inventor: IMRAAN FEISAL JHETAM
IPC: A61M21/02
Filed: 2020-02-04
Abstract: A sleeping aid comprising a head strap 6; a nose and mouth mask 1; and electronic apparatus 2 to detect trigger events for reducing or increasing the oxygen in a supply of air to the wearer of the mask. The device may control the concentration of oxygen in the air inhaled by a user using electronically controlled semi-permeable membrane valves 22 in order to induce a state of sleep by lowering the oxygen concentration of the inhaled air. The blood oxygen saturation of the user (SpO2) may be measured using a nasal pulse oximeter 7 (Figure 4), and the device may seek to raise the blood oxygen saturation of the user once they have fallen asleep. Further sensors may comprise an accelerometer and a gyroscope for determining the position of the user.

Title: Virtual x-ray vision in a process control environment
Inventor: JAMES AARON CREWS
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2018-09-26
Abstract: In a method of providing virtual enhanced vision to a user of an augmented reality (AR) mobile device, it is determined that a first node associated with a map of a process control environment corresponds to a first real- world object currently within a field of view of a camera of the AR mobile device. A relationship between the first node and one or more other nodes is determined, with the relationship indicating that one or more other objects corresponding to other nodes are at least partially obscured by the first object. At least partially in response to determining the relationship, one or more digital models or images depicting the other object(s) is/are retrieved from memory. A display of the AR mobile device is caused to present the retrieved digital models or images to the user while the first object is in the field of view of the camera.

Title: Source-code dividing device, source-code analyzing device, source-code dividing method, and source-code dividing program
Inventor: TAISHI AZUMA
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2018-10-25
Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to reduce the degree of deterioration in analysis precision due to dividing a source code. In the present invention, an influence specifying unit (22) specifies, for two functions in the source code as targets, the degree of influence on the analysis of the source code when the targeted two functions are divided into two divided codes on the basis of amount of information passed between the targeted two functions. The degree of influence is specified as the analysis influence degree between the targeted two functions. A dividing unit (23) divides the source code into a plurality of divided codes so that the total of the analysis influence degrees between the functions divided into separate divided codesis minimized.

Title: Comparable stress for rolling bearings
Inventor: DIRK-OLAF LEIMANN
IPC: G06F30/23
Filed: 2020-04-23
Abstract: A computer implemented method for simulating the operating resistance for the formation of cracks in a rolling bearing 100 with respect to the damage mode WEC (White Etching Crack) is provided. WEC is noticeable by various phenomena such as breakouts or axial cracks on the rolling bearing 100. The damage is caused by cracks and/or a network of cracks which are initiated under a load at a distance yM below the bearing raceway 110 on an inner ring 101, on the bearing rollers 102 or below the bearing raceway 111 on the outer ring 103. An occurring stress σoccurring is formed out of the occurring load and compared with a permissible stress σpermissible in the defined material depth yM, taking account of the time-dependent stress levels of the occurring and permissible stresses. The simulation permits the user to judge whether this damage occurs due to the given operating conditions and the chosen material properties.

Title: Vacuum pump
Inventor: Nicolas Jonathan Grant
IPC: F04C27/00
Filed: 2020-06-10
Abstract: Vacuum scroll pump (fig.1A) with a housing, a first element 26,30 connected with the housing providing a stator, a second element 28, 32 rotating relative to the first element having at least one pump element interacting with the stator to convey a gas. A seal 38, 40 arranged between the first element and the second element has a base element 42 with a contact surface 46 against the opposite element, where the contact surface is non-flat and becomes flat after first use (fig.3) as running in has caused bedding-in and abrasion of the seal. Preferably the seal is a tip seal seated in a groove of the wrap’s end wall on the scroll and having a contact surface with a feature such as a protrusion 48 adjacent to the opposite scroll’s base 50; the protrusion being rectangular, triangular, or a partial ellipse in cross-section. Preferably the seal is from 1-5mm in width D and the protrusion is less than 1mm, or less than 0.01mm in width W and the feature varies along the length of the seal. Benefit: because of the smaller contact area a harder seal material can be used but run-in period can be kept below 24h.

Title: Methods and systems for hands-free fare validation and gateless transit
Inventor: MICAH BERGDALE
IPC: H04W12/08
Filed: 2018-05-08
Abstract: A system and method in which a user application on a mobile device facilitates hands-free fare validation and gateless entry/exit at a transit facility like a transit station or a transit vehicle. The user application communicates with a Bluetooth gateway to authenticate the device and provides device-specific information for device identification and location determination. The user application also sends a secure token to the gateway to validate an electronic ticket stored in the device. A positioning unit uses the device-specific information to generate a timestamped location data for the device. A camera monitors the device user's movement and generates another timestamped location data for the device. A controller driver compares two timestamped location data to determine that the user of the device is approaching a gateless entry point and allows the user to avail a transit service through the gateless entry point when the electronic ticket is valid and active.

Title: Non-native blockchain signatures
Inventor: PAUL GERMOUTY
IPC: H04L9/14
Filed: 2022-04-26
Abstract: A method of constructing transactions for a blockchain such that non-native blockchain signatures can be verified in a script. A second blockchain transaction references a first blockchain transaction and has an unlocking script comprising first and second signatures. The first signature is a dummy signature based on the second blockchain transaction and uses a dummy private key set equal to one, using a signature scheme native to the blockchain such as ECDSA. The second signature is based on the first signature and uses a second private key, using a non-native signature scheme such as IBS, quantum resistant, Rabin or Schnorr. The first blockchain transaction has a locking script which requires the first and second signatures to be verified. The blockchain may be a bitcoin-type blockchain implemented with opcodes such as OP_CHECKSIGVERIFY. A key generator may generate the second private key from a master key and an identifier; and may be a trusted third party or a hardware security module.
