Title: Method and apparatus for colour imaging
Inventor: PATRICK DAVID COOPER
IPC: H04N19/85
Filed: 2018-04-16
Abstract: Encoding S50, using a first colour space, a first portion of image data intended to be displayed on a first area of the screen and encoding, using a second colour space, a second portion of image data intended to be displayed on a second area of the screen. The encoded first and second portions are compressed S55 and transmitted S60. Preferably the first area is a central zone and the second area is a peripheral region of the image. Alternatively, the sensitivity of a viewer to light in different regions may be modelled and the areas are set according to whether the sensitivity is above a threshold. A model of the chromatic aberration of image data displayed on the screen may also be modelled to select the colour spaces and regions. In embodiments the screen is a head mounted display for use in virtual reality application, such as a VR headset. The invention exploits varying colour perception fidelity across the field of view in the human vision system to increase user experience and efficiency of compression.

Title: A consensus method and framework for a blockchain system
Inventor: RICHARD MATTHEW DENNIS
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2018-10-05
Abstract: A blockchain system is described implementing a method comprising receiving, at a participant node, a node participation document comprising a list of node identifiers that uniquely identify each node in the blockchain and receiving, at the participant, a true random number associated with a current time interval. Further, at the participant, a leader node is selected for the current time interval from the nodes listed in the node participation document based on a numerical disparity between the random number and the node identifiers from the node participation document; and sending, from the participant, any new transactions for inclusion in the blockchain system to the determined leader node in the current time interval. The node identifier closest to the random number may be selected as the leader node. The leader node is the only node that can generate new blocks during the corresponding time interval to be validly appended to the blockchain. A beacon may be implemented to disseminate the random numbers to the participant nodes. A second method is described (Figure 4) wherein some nodes do not store the whole blockchain by deleting blocks that do not meet a threshold (e.g. timeframe or blockchain size) but maintain block headers.

Title: Multi-channel interferometer-based optical sensor
Inventor: PETER ROENTGEN
IPC: G01J3/36
Filed: 2020-06-29
Abstract: An optical sensor comprises first and second photodetectors 206, 207 and a Fabry-Perot interferometer 201 comprising top and bottom mirrors 202, 203, which may be separated by a MEMS device 204. The first and second detectors 206, 207 are sensitive to different wavelength ranges (211 & 212, fig. 2B) corresponding to different modes of the interferometer. The photodetectors may be separate photodetectors, e.g. each with a different filter and/or made from a different material, formed at different depths or formed on the upper and lower side of the wafer. One photodetector may be transparent to the wavelength range of the other and may be located such that light transmitted by the interferometer passes through it before reaching the other. The sensor may be used in spectroscopy and may be capable of detecting multiple modes of the etalon simultaneously, e.g. lined up to detect characteristic wavelengths of a species.
