Title: Wave energy convertor
Inventor: TODALSHAUG JÃ RGEN HALS
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2014-01-20
Abstract: A wave energy convertor 1 for extracting energy from ocean waves comprises a buoy 2 arranged to oscillate relative to a reference point 3 on a support member, e.g. a rod, pole or cable, about an equilibrium position 4. A negative spring device 10 is connected between the buoy 2 and the reference point 3, so that it applies a positive force in the direction of displacement when the buoy 2 moves away from the equilibrium position 4. This has the effect of reducing apparent stiffness of the system, increasing movement of the buoy 2 and the range of frequencies that can be efficiently captured.

Title: Controlling user access in a mobile device
Inventor: DEELEY ANDREW
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2014-04-17
Abstract: The permission controller (PCU) 21 is provided by a hardware component functionally separate from the CPU in a portable electronic device (fig. 2), such as a mobile phone or tablet computer. The PCU allows user access to functions, such as storage, wireless communication, audio or data input / output in whole or part, based on encrypted permission data received from an external central server (4, fig. 3). The permission data may be generated from user data sent to the server. Preferably, the PCU controls supply of power from a battery or transformer, to the functional units of the device, independently of any function of the CPU. Access to a devices functions can be restricted if bad debt is incurred in connection with a hire-purchase (rent-to-own) device. The operating systems of such devices are often easy to alter (to root or jailbreak) in comparison with software/ middleware/ firmware embedded in the device itself, which might be used in larger consumer devices such as televisions.

Title: Secure token implementation
Inventor: DOVALO JAIME ANTONIO ABRIL
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-04-24
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for transferring a token into a secure element, SE, of a user device such as a SIM in a smartphone where the user device having a secure communications channel that is configured to transmit data, that has been encrypted with one or more keys, between a data source remote from the user device and the SE of the user device. The method comprising: obtaining a token 703 by an application on the user device, wherein the obtained token is outside of both the SE and the secure communications channel; encrypting the token 705 using the same one or more keys configured to encrypt data transmitted from the remote data source in the secure communications channel; and using the secure communications channel 707 to transfer the encrypted token to the SE. The SE stores one or more tokens and a token is not retrieved from the SE until it is required for use during a transaction. Advantageously, this prevents malicious activity from stealing tokens from the user device.

Title: Multi-component regression/multi-component analysis of time and/or space series files
Inventor: BRADLEY MICHAEL S
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: MCR (Multi-component regression) estimates pure component time- and/or spatial series spectra as extracted from infrared or other spectroscopy, which are capable of being compared to spectra in a reference library to find the best matches. The best match spectra can then each in turn be combined with the reference spectra, with the combinations also being screened for best matches versus any one of the estimated pure component time/space series spectra. These resulting best matches can then also undergo the foregoing combination and comparison steps. The process can repeat in this manner in an unbounded fashion if desired until an appropriate stopping point is reached, for example, when a desired number of best matches are identified, when some predetermined number of iterations has been performed, etc. This methodology is able to return best-match spectra with far fewer computational steps and greater speed than if all possible combinations of reference spectra are considered.

Title: Providing drawing assistance using feature detection and semantic labeling
Inventor: WINNEMOELLER HOLGER
IPC: G06T11/20
Filed: 2015-02-06
Abstract: Methods for providing drawing assistance to a user sketching an image include geometrically correcting adjusting user strokes to improve their placement and appearance. In particular, one or more guidance maps indicate where the user "should" draw lines. As a user draws a stroke, the stroke is geometrically corrected by moving the stroke toward a portion of the guidance maps corresponding to the feature of the image the user is intending to draw based feature labels. To further improve the user drawn lines, parametric adjustments are optionally made to the geometrically-corrected stroke to emphasize "correctly" drawn lines and de-emphasize "incorrectly" drawn line.

IPC: G06F3/042
Filed: 2016-03-21
Abstract: A display controller suitable for a whiteboard has a light source 210 for generating at least two light beams of different wavelengths and different angular offsets. The light beams may be visible 320a or non-visible 320b light i.e. infrared light. A reflective device such a dichroic mirror 300 receives the light beams and emits them substantially coincidental and at a substantially common angle. A reflector array 400a-c, 410 receives the different wavelength beams from the reflective device and generates at least two substantially collinear illumination fields corresponding to the two different wavelengths. Diffusers 500a-d may be used to form overlapping beams which may provide parallel visible and non-visible fields (820a-b, figure 5) and the visible field can provide an indication of the parallelism of the illumination field with respect to a display surface (12, figure 5) of an interactive device (1000, figure 5). The non-visible field detects the position of a contact on the display region.
