Title: A radio-frequency identification tag configured to detect its own motion
Inventor: WILKINSON BRUCE W
IPC: G01S11/06
Filed: 2012-04-27
Abstract: An RFID tag 100 can determine its own relative movement with respect to a reader 200.

Title: A method and system for authenticating a user of a computerised system
Inventor: SAGA CATALIN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2011-02-02
Abstract: A method for authenticating a user of a computerised system comprises computing an array or grid 100 of elements 102, presenting the array to the user, receiving user input comprising elements corresponding to pre-determined positions 104, 106 within the array, comparing the user input against a known value and authenticating a user if there is a match. The number of unique or distinct elements in the array is less than the total number of elements (so that at least one element is repeated). The number of distinct elements may be greater than four, but not greater than one above the greatest integer less than or equal to the square root of the total number of elements in the array. The array may be generated using the current time and date, an identifier associated with a user or device, and an incrementing seed number. The user input might form a one-time password (OTP), and the pre-determined position (defined by a memorable identification pattern) might not be received by the authentication device. A static PIN or password may also be input by a user. The elements may be numbers (digits), letters, symbols, other characters, shapes or colours.

Title: Storage device and method for controlling storage device
Inventor: SADAHIRO SUGIMOTO
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 2013-12-12
Abstract: This storage device supplies, to a host device, an extension VOL having no correlation (mapping) with a final storage medium, and accepts access to the extension VOL from the host device. The storage device compresses the data written into the extension VOL on-line in a cache memory and correlates the compressed data to a compression VOL which is a volume correlated with the final storage medium. At the same time, the storage device maintains and manages mapping information about an area in the extension VOL into which data is written and a position in the compression VOL to which the compressed data of the written data is correlated, whereby, when a request for read from the extension VOL is received from the host device, the storage device converts information about a position in the extension VOL designated by the read request into information about a position in the final storage medium on the basis of the mapping information, reads out the compressed data from the final storage medium into the cache memory, extends the compressed data in the cache memory, and transfers the extended data to the host device.
