Patent GB-2546459-A (GB)
Title: Data verification
Inventor: MARTIN TOMLINSON
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2017-05-10
Abstract: A data verification method comprises: receiving code data defining a 2D code 7 including graphical elements representing an image of data that can be used to identify a user; retrieving verification data 23 associated with the user; calculating a first cryptographic hash value from the graphical elements of the image from the code data; calculating a second cryptographic hash value from the verification data; and verifying the code data by comparing the first and second hash values. In an embodiment, a user is authenticated by a terminal that processes image data of a 2D code to decode key information, the code comprising a cryptographic binding of user credentials, possibly including a low-resolution image 17 of the user's face, to access a database of user information stored on a secure server. The database information could include a high-resolution image of the user. Authentication could also involve comparing the low-resolution image with the high-resolution image. In some cases, data is iteratively altered until the hash of the 2D code has several digits in common with the hash of the user information stored on the server.

Title: Device for zero-setting the residual voltage on the terminals of light sources and the lighting system comprising the device
Inventor: Matteo Mazzotti
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2017-10-17
Abstract: A connection device 6 for setting to zero the residual voltage (VRes) which, in the power-off condition, remains on the terminals of a light source 1 consisting of an LED light source that is powered via a control circuit 3 for the activation and deactivation of the light source, comprises two pairs of series-connected diodes (10, figure 3) connected in anti-parallel between an output terminal of the control circuit and a corresponding terminal of the light source. The voltage drop across the pairs of diodes equates to a reduction in the output voltage of the control circuit, such that a small residual voltage present at the output of the control circuit when the light source is intended to be off is no longer sufficient to cause erroneous or unstable operation of the LED light source. The connection device may be used in a power supply system for a series of light signals for airport signalling

Title: Wireless network security system and method
Inventor: LIAM MCCABE
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2020-02-22
Abstract: Access to a wireless network is controlled by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DCHP) server, an authorising device and a verifying device. The DHCP server receives an identifier of a new device entering network range and interrogates a Candidate Joining Device (CJD) record comprising all devices which have historically entered network range. If there is no record of the new device, a new record is created and sent to the authorising device and verifying device. The authorising device requests an owner for an input. If the input matches a known input and is received within a required time interval, then a flag in the CJD record is set to true and the record is re-issued. The verifying device receives the record, detects the true flag and requests a network owner or already authenticated device for an input. If this input matches a known input within a required time interval, then a second flag is set to true and the CJD record is re-issued. If both flags are true, the DHCP server allows the new device to join the network.

Title: A coaxial double-propeller vertical take-off and landing aircraft using moving mass control and a control method thereof
Inventor: YANGPING DENG
IPC: B64C39/02
Filed: 2020-06-03
Abstract: The VTOL aircraft comprises a body 1 and a coaxial double-propeller mechanism. The body has a columnar structure housing a flight control and communication device 6, a task load and a power battery 7. The power battery is mounted on a moving mass driving mechanism 8 inside the body which can drive the power battery to displace along the radial direction in the body, so that the centre of gravity of the aircraft is offset from the axial direction of the centre of the body. The coaxial double-propeller mechanism comprises upper and lower double-counter rotating motors 4 with a foldable upper propeller 2 and a foldable lower propeller 3. The propeller blades in the present invention are small and portable after being folded. The built-in moving mass driving control device dynamically changes the centre of mass of the aircraft for flight control. There is no additional control device outside the body during flight time, and the flight resistance is small. By using the power battery as the moving mass body of the moving mass, there is no additional weight, and the control force and torque required for the mass body movement are small, so that the power demand and weight of the servo can be reduced.
