Title: Quantum laser-driven engine
Inventor: COREY KAIZEN REAUX-SAVONTE
IPC: H01S3/00
Filed: 2017-08-16
Abstract: An engine comprising one or more photon sources, such as a Laser 102, one or more chambers, such as a vacuum chamber 101, and one or more power sources 107. The photon source fires photons, such as a Laser beam 103, at opposing walls within the chamber at different average speeds to create an internal directional pressure imbalance. A pressure difference greater than the external resistance is allegedly generated to create thrust. Dark coloured walls may be used to reduce photon reflection. Solar panels 106 or thermoelectric generators (TEG) 104 may be used to recharge the power source. The engine may comprise components which can send and receive data, and one or more steering mechanisms which rely on multiple photon sources or engines pointing in different directions, or swivelling of one or more components or engines.

Abstract: Measuring a users biometric data and determining a current biometric state from the biometric data. Receiving a rule set associated with a desired biometric state of a user; and cross referencing the rule set with a database to determine a rule. Comparing the current biometric state of the user to the rule, and in response to determining that the current biometric state corresponds to the rule, enabling a media guidance application. The rule set may refer to one or more rules that indicate a biometric state corresponding to a specific goal. For example, a parent may set a goal for the user, such as a child. A rule set may correspond to acceptable behaviour, whereby the rule set may indicate an allowable blood-alcohol level or nicotine level.

Title: Adjustable range of aids allowed for random access in short feedback procedures in wireless networks
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2019-06-19
Abstract: A random access mechanism for short feedback procedure where an AP keeps control on the number of stations competing for random access. The AP provides a NFRP trigger frame (Null Data Packet Feedback Report Poll) wherein an access type indication defines whether tone sets are accessed on a random basis, and a range scaling field defining a scale factor to design the range of AIDs authorized to compete. A non-AP station uses the access type indication to detect random access scheme and then use the scale factor to obtain, from a conventional range of AIDs, an extended polling range of station AIDs authorized to access the tone sets on a random basis. If the station determines its AID belongs to the polling range, it randomly selects one tone set to send a NDP (Null Data Packet) feedback report response. The AP can adjust the scale factor depending on network statistics to mirror a level of contention. A Range Scaling of Zero may indicate scheduled access, while Range Scaling of Non-Zero may indicate random access. The second range may be the first range multiplied by the range scaling factor. The first range may be the number of available RU tone sets.

Title: Encoding and decoding apparatus
Inventor: MARK JACOBUS BREUGELMANS
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2019-10-24
Abstract: Encoding apparatus (100) comprises input (102) obtaining training images (101), the images being for use in training a machine learning model. The apparatus also comprises label unit (103) which obtains a class label associated with the images, and key unit (104) which obtains a secret key used in encoding the images. The apparatus further comprises image noise generator (105) which, based on the secret key, generates noise for introducing into the images. An image processor (106) determines, based on the secret key, a spatial distribution at which the noise is to be applied, and applies the generated noise in the determined distribution to generate modified training images. The image noise generator generates noise that correlates with the class label associated with the images such that a machine learning model subsequently trained with the modified training images learns to associate the introduced noise with the class label for those images. The introduced noise provides a watermark that allows unauthorised use to be detected. Also claimed is a decoding apparatus which decodes training images modified by noise with a key provided to entities authorised to use the modified training images for training a machine learning model (see Fig. 3).

Title: Method of generating a hash-based message authentication code
Inventor: CRAIG STEVEN WRIGHT
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2020-03-04
Abstract: A hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) of a message is generated using blockchain transactions. A first party generates an output script (locking script) of a first blockchain transaction, the output script comprising a HMAC script configured to, when executed alongside an input script (unlocking script) of a second blockchain transaction, generate the HMAC based on an input value included in the input script. The first blockchain transaction is transmitted to node(s) of a blockchain network for inclusion in the blockchain. The HMAC script may comprise the message and the input value comprise a HMAC key. Alternatively, the HMAC script may comprise the HMAC key and the input value comprise the message. In a further alternative the input value is a hash of the HMAC key and the message, and the input script includes the message. The first blockchain transaction may comprise a public key derivation script comprising the HMAC script and be configured to, when executed alongside the input script, generate a new public key based on at least the HMAC of the message. Generating a HMAC using blockchain transactions allows the HMAC to be permanently and immutably recorded on the blockchain for any party to check and verify.

Title: System for managing EESS and telecom
Inventor: BENJAMIN KIM
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2020-11-27
Abstract: A spectrum protection system enables spectrum sharing that protects Earth Exploration-Satellite Services (EESS) observations, allowing for uninterrupted weather forecasting, from terrestrial operations that operate near or within EESS frequency bands. The system calculates the satellite observation times using a device’s location recognizing that these satellites are only observing a particular location on Earth for a very short time because of their orbital dynamics and scanning characteristics. Using this calculated list of observation times and comparing it to the current time input, the system then enacts a mechanism for action when EESS observations are occurring. The action may include momentarily changing frequencies or reducing transmission power levels to prevent erroneous EESS measurements. This system allows telecommunication providers to operate at optimal power levels at all other times near or within the EESS frequency bands.
