Inventor: SAID ASSOUS
IPC: G06T7/13
Filed: 2013-03-11
Abstract: A method of detecting an edge of a geological characteristic in a borehole comprises, the steps of , in respect of an image log of a length of a borehole, identifying locations at which the phase congruency of components of a signal representative of data constituting the log or part thereof is maximal and in respect of such locations, characterising them as one or more edges of geological characteristics. It may include generating a plurality of Fourier transforms respectively corresponding to a plurality of locations in the image log and at locations where the phase information converges or is the same, characterising such locations as one or more edges of geological characteristics. The phase congruency of the components of said signal at a location x may be determined through the operation of the Fourier series expansion function

Title: Methods and systems of securely transferring data
Inventor: JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2017-09-05
Abstract: Securely transferring the same master keying material between a master dongle 10 and multiple slave dongles 12a-n by connecting each dongle to a data transfer system 30. The slave communications dongle 12 contains a public key and a private key and master dongle 10 contains master keying material. The slave dongle 12 public key is transferred to the master dongle. The master dongle 10 encrypts master keying material (which may be symmetric encryption key generated by FIPS-approved random number generator) with the received public key. The resultant encrypted master key is sent via data transfer system 30 to slave dongle 12 which decrypts the encrypted master key with the private key and stores the decrypted key to decrypt data encrypted by another dongle. Each may require user authentication to unlock before data transfer. The private key and unencrypted master keying material are preferably not transferred to or read by the data transfer system. The slave dongle public key may be scrambled before transmission and unscrambled at the master dongle using a predetermined scrambling algorithm. The data transfer system may be a dedicated device like a USB hub.

Inventor: RONALD ROJESKI
IPC: H01M4/587
Filed: 2013-07-03
Abstract: An electrode comprises a conductive substrate 105 and a material 1320 disposed on the substrate, the material comprising (i) carbon, especially in the form of carbon nanofibres 110; (ii) an intercalation material 1610 interspersed with the carbon; (iii) a plurality of surface effect dominant sites, especially nanoparticles 1430, for catalysing intercalation of charge carriers into the intercalation material; and (iv) a binder 1440. The intercalation material may be coated on the carbon nanofibers (Figs 15, 18), and the nanoparticles may be concentrated on the surface of the intercalation material. The carbon nanofibres may be detached from the substrate and connected thereto via the binder (as shown), or may be directly connected to the substrate, preferably in an array of vertically aligned fibres (Fig 14). The intercalation material is preferably Si. The highly conductive and mechanically stable CNF core supporting a coaxially coated amorphous Si shell is claimed to have a higher theoretical specific capacity by forming a fully lithiated alloy. Addition of the surface effect dominant sites in close proximity to the intercalation medium results in a hybrid device that includes advantages of both batteries and capacitors.

Title: Method of controlling a mandrel-free spinning apparatus
Inventor: EVRIPIDES G LOUKAIDES
IPC: B21D22/18
Filed: 2020-02-25
Abstract: A method of controlling a spin forming machine comprising mounting two workpieces to the mounting point such that relative movement between the workpieces is substantially inhibited at the workpiece mounting point; rotating both workpieces; and moving a forming tool so as to deform both the rotating first and second workpieces towards the article shape. Preferably the second workpiece is deformed into a second shape that substantially matches the article shape. Initially, the shape of the workpieces may match and they may be the same or different thicknesses. One workpiece may be less stiff and act as a protective layer that reduces pressure on the other layer from the forming tool. Preferably, it is a mandrel-free spinning apparatus with a support tool that supports the second workpiece as the forming tool engages the first workpiece. The method may comprise receiving a computerised representation of the article shape with walls having a thickness equal to the sum of the workpiece thickness and determining the toolpaths of the forming and support tools based on the computerised representation.
