Title: Anti-spoofing
Inventor: FRANCISCO ANGEL GARCIA RODRIGUEZ
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2019-09-18
Abstract: Anti-spoofing technology is provided for verifying a user of a fixed computer terminal. Image data of at least one verification image is received, as captured by an image capture device of the fixed computer terminal at a time corresponding to a request for access to a restricted function of the fixed computer terminal. User verification is applied to determine whether to grant access to the restricted function of the fixed computer terminal. A differential feature descriptor is determined, which encodes feature differences between the verification image data and image data of at least one unobstructed background image as captured by the image capture device. An anti-spoofing classifier processes the differential feature descriptor to classify it in relation to real and spoofing classes. Access to the restricted function of the fixed computer terminal is refused or granted based on the classification of the differential feature descriptor by the anti-spoofing classifier.

The control of the engine (202) to operate within a torque threshold depends on the absence of an overriding request for operation of the vehicle in an off-road mode, an off-road-suitable terrain mode or a driving surface optimisation mode. The vehicle is typically a hybrid. The invention may address a requirement for reduced diagnostics engine running time in a hybrid electric vehicle.
Patent GB-2612903-A (GB)
Title: Parameter estimation in driver circuitry
Inventor: Chandra B Prakash
IPC: H04R29/00
Filed: 2022-09-22
Abstract: Circuitry 200 for driving a load 120, such as an audio or a haptic transducer, includes driver circuitry 110, load sensing circuitry 280 & 290, and a parameter estimation engine 210. The circuitry is operable in a driving mode in which the driver circuitry supplies a drive signal to a load. The circuit is also operatable in a load sensing mode for estimating a characteristic of the load, based on a signal provided by the load sensing circuitry in response to a stimulus signal Vin supplied to the driver circuitry. The circuitry performs a calibration operation in which the parameter estimation engine generates a circuit parameter, for example a level of the stimulus signal, for use in the load sensing mode. The parameter is based on signals generated in response to a calibration stimulus signal supplied to the driver circuitry. The selection of parameters by the parameter estimation engine 210 may ensure that clipping of the stimulus signal during a load sensing operation is avoided and that safe operating conditions for the load are complied with.

Title: Low capacity emitters
Inventor: DERMITZAKIS ARISTEIDI EMMANOUI
IPC: A01G25/02
Filed: 1998-05-12
Abstract: High capacity, low throughput emitter of a meander like form, created by the addition of a thin baffle between the edges of two successive reflectors of the meanders like path. The baffle interferes parallel to the primary flow of the water, is not in contact with the meander-like path, and creates around it two channels, a narrow one and a wide one enabling water to pass. Due to the arrangement of the meander-like form and the baffle, all the quantity of water only through the high performance narrow channel, whereas the wide channel remains stand-by and inactive. Thus, a high water pressure drop is achieved, so that water supply to the emitter is reduced, and for ensuring a parallel connected wide stand-by path automatically activated as a by-pass in the case of blockage of the narrow high performance operating channel.
