Title: Validation of the integrity of data
Inventor: JAMES ZORAB
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2016-03-30
Abstract: A method of enabling validation of the integrity of data by reference to a plurality of unique data items (e.g. a hash chain), wherein each said data item is the result of hashing respective data to create respective equal length hashes or digests and combining each new hash with its predecessor. The method comprises storing said hashes on a computing device as a concatenated dataset in which the value of each successive hash is dependent on the value of the previous hash combined with a new hash. The new hash is the result of hashing of new data that has itself been combined with a different previous hash, so that the most recent hash in the dataset is the cumulative result of all previous hashes in their original sequence, and hash in the dataset is unique to the most recently added data. A hash chain may be produced by combining one of its records (HASH_LINKED) with new data (DATA_SOURCE) and hashing the combination to produce a HASH_SALTED, storing the HASH_SALTED and combining it with the most recent HASH_LINKED before hashing the combination to produce the latest HASH_LINKED to append to the chain.

Title: Method of authentication
Inventor: STEWART MCDIARMID
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2016-04-15
Abstract: This application aims to provide a new technique for authenticating users on a computer system. It works by having a system that can receive a user input that represents a first combination of a plurality of images, and then performs authentication by comparing the user input with a second predetermined combination of the same images. The system uses an image capture device to detect a users hand movements with respect to images, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 on a piece of paper. The hand movements may include tapping, clicking and pointing. In one embodiment the images are of people, some of whom may be known to the user, but in other embodiments the images may also be of geographic locations. The images may also be presented together with audio or textual information that corresponds to the images. The images may presented in groups in a respective time period or a predetermined formation. A second embodiment also involves presenting the images on a display device, which may be a touchscreen device, and the user input is received from the touchscreen device.

Title: Data processing apparatuses, methods, computer programs and computer-readable media
Inventor: DAVID HANDFORD
IPC: H04N19/30
Filed: 2016-09-08
Abstract: A set of residual elements 316 is obtained, which are useable to reconstruct a first rendition 306 of a first time sample of a signal such as video data at a relatively high level of quality in a tired hierarchy having multiple levels of quality. The first rendition is based on a relatively low quality version of the first time sample. A set of spatio-temporal correlation elements 326 associated with the first time sample is generated. The set of spatio-temporal correlation elements is indicative of: an extent of spatial correlation between a plurality of residual elements from the set of residual elements; and an extent of temporal correlation between first reference data based on the rendition and second reference data based on a rendition of a second time sample of the signal. The set of spatio-temporal correlation elements is used to generate first output data. The low quality version of the first time sample is used to generate second output data. The process allows a relatively small amount of information to be used for data reconstruction and may be used for transmitting high quality video data.

Title: Timer-based thermal protection for power components of a switch mode power supply
Inventor: Mikhail Zarkhin
IPC: H02M1/32
Filed: 2016-10-07
Abstract: A switch mode power supply (SMPS) 100 comprises a power stage 102 and a thermal protection circuit. The power stage includes; high-current carrying inductors, diodes, field effect transistors (FETs) and capacitors that receive electrical energy from a vehicle battery 104 and convert it to a voltage 106 necessary to operate a load 108 (e.g. ECU). The thermal protection circuit determines the maximum amount of time that the transistors can conduct current as a function of ambient temperature and comprises a counter 120, a maximum count register 128, a digital comparator 126 and an ambient temperature sensor 140. When the battery voltage is less than a reference voltage 116, the counter is started. When the elapsed time as measured by the counter is equals, or exceeds, a maximum value, which is loaded into the maximum count register 128, the transistors of the power stage are shut off. The thermal protection circuit maximises the time that the transistors of the power stage can over-conduct current by using the ambient temperature sensor to provide a digital output count value to the maximum count register. When ambient temperatures are low, the transistors can be operated for an extended time whereas, when ambient temperatures are high, the transistors are disabled much sooner, before they are damaged.

Title: Activity monitoring
Inventor: DANIEL JAMES PLANT
IPC: G08C17/02
Filed: 2016-11-07
Abstract: Apparatus 102 for monitoring a users activity has a sensor such as an accelerometer that generates orientation data of a user. The data is inserted into advertising packets of a wireless communication protocol such as Bluetooth (RTM) Low Energy (BLE) for broadcast at a low repetition frequency over a short range to a device 110 such as a mobile phone or access point. The data is relayed to a server 120. The server may command the apparatus 102 to establish a communication session and generate and transmit further orientation data at a higher repetition frequency. The low repetition frequency broadcasting consumes less power and is used when the user is likely to be sitting down. The higher repetition frequency connection is used when the user is walking. In response to an activity pattern indicative of an imminent fall, an alert is generated such as an SMS message. Other sensors such as heart rate, temperature and pressure sensors may be sued.

Title: Controlling communications in respect of local area networks
Inventor: Nicholas Farrow
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 2017-09-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a system in which a gateway device 30 provides an interface between a digital subscriber line (xDSL) 19 and a local area network (LAN) 20 installed within a premises, particularly when the LAN includes powerline communication (PLC) units 27a, 27b. Signals from a powerline communication (PLC) unit can interfere with xDSL communications, affecting xDSL performance. The present invention aims to mitigate this interference by monitoring at least one data communication characteristic of communications on the xDSL line, and identifying a change in the characteristics. Data flow rate is also monitored for data flows in the LAN. In the event that an identified change in a data communication characteristic coincides with an identified change in data flow rate, the data flow rate is adjusted. The characteristic may relate to speed, reliability, variability, stability or error-rate. The monitoring may be performed by the gateway device.

Filed: 2017-10-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for an automotive communication network. A first controller 19 receives a message sourced from a device 26/28/30 via a data bus 24. The first controller identifies from the message a service associated with the device and offers the service as a subscription service to a second controller 21 via a high-speed communication channel 23. The second controller responds by sending a subscription request for the service to the first controller. Data associated with the service received by the first controller from device 26/28/30 is then forwarded to the second controller. The message received by the first controller may be a device ID which is mapped to a service ID that uniquely identifies the service. The data bus may be Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus or a FlexRay bus. The high-speed channel may use Ethernet and may have a throughput of 100 Gbps. The device 26/28/30 may be an electronic control unit (ECU), a sensor or an actuator. A communication node 50 may allow service data to be exchanged with a remote device 52 such as a smartphone or portable computer.
