Title: Method for detecting phishing of a matrix barcode
Inventor: PIZZUTILO RICCARDO
IPC: G06K7/14
Filed: 2013-09-24
Abstract: A matrix barcode (e.g. QR code) comprising colored and white squares in rows and columns is analysed, e.g. for the detection of phishing performed by overlaying a barcode with a malicious barcode (see figs. 2-4). The barcode is scanned row by row and column by column resulting in received squares, and a corresponding white color level for each received white square is stored. The white color levels of the received white squares are compared in pairs. A counter may be increased if the white color levels of the pair differentiate by more than a threshold and a notifier (e.g. phishing notifier) is activated after all the comparisons are performed if the counter is greater than a threshold. A web access corresponding to the barcode may be blocked upon activation of the notifier. Shading compensation may also be performed on the barcode, e.g. by applying a dynamic multiplier which is proportional to an intensity of shade on the matrix barcode.

Title: 4G/LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) gateway that offers UE/user option to inhibit downlink of some traffic/data types, particularly whilst roaming
Inventor: ZISIMOPOULOS HARIS
IPC: H04W8/02
Filed: 2011-07-27
Abstract: 4G/LTE (Long term evolution) cellular systems propose an Evolved Packet System (EPS) wherein all traffic, including voice, is carried on a packet/IP network rather than some using circuit switched networks. Thus the inhibition of certain traffic types must occur in the EPS, rather than simply deactivating packet/data functionality. An association is formed between the user equipment UE and one or more gateways (GW, PGW, SGW) in the packet switched data network S210-204. Gateways may send messages to the UE indicating their capability to inhibit downlink transmission of user data towards the user equipment S205. The UE can respond with a blocking request S206-207 and data transmission is disabled at the gateway S208. Alternatively UEs may request blocking without a capability message from the gateway. The gateway responds to the request with parameters specifying UE Gateway transmission behaviour and controls communications in accordance with the parameters (Fig.9). May be used to block data/internet functions whilst roaming.

Title: Improving the appearance of an object
Inventor: MONTAGUE ROLAND WESCOTT
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2012-10-23
Abstract: A method and system of displaying and rotating a 3d numeric model. Upon pausing, or completing the rotation by releasing the mouse button, a raster image loads and displays thereby improving the sharpens or allowing the user to zoom in on additional detail. The raster images may be created by photographing the real life version of the object represented by the 3d numeric model. The raster images may otherwise be created by long duration renderings of the 3d numeric model at very high quality settings and mesh size then saving the result to a raster image file. The benefit is smooth rotation inherent to 3d numeric models with the detail and sharpness of photographs after the rotation is completed.

Title: Gypsy for windlass and method for its manufacture
Inventor: NIGEL CHRISTOPHER SMITH
IPC: B66D1/72
Filed: 2015-05-29
Abstract: A gypsy is disclosed, adapted for mounting in a windlass for hauling and/or veering anchor rode. A chain-engagement region 12 of the gypsy comprises chain link pockets 18 sized and spaced around the chain-engagement region to engage with chain of the anchor rode. A line-engagement region 24 is provided, with an array of rope grip features 26 spaced around the line-engagement region 24. The chain-engagement region 12 of the gypsy is formed from a polymeric material, preferably being 30% glass filled nylon and the line-engagement region 24 is formed from a metal material, preferably brass or stainless steel. As a result, the gypsy can run more quietly than one formed entirely of metal, and the polymer material reduces metal-on-metal contact between the gypsy and the anchor rode. Use of polymer material may also reduce the total weight of the gypsy.

Title: An apparatus, method and computer program for providing sound reproduction
Inventor: MIKKO-VILLE LAITINEN
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2015-07-09
Abstract: A method comprises obtaining at least three ambient audio signals 31 wherein at least one of the ambient audio signals is to be processed with a first directional transfer function pair and at least one other of the ambient audio signals is to be processed with a second directional transfer function pair. The directional transfer function pairs may be head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) and are based on target directions of the ambient audio signals. A change of the target direction for the at least one ambient audio signal to an updated target direction is determined 33 and an updated directional transfer function pair is selected 35. The updated directional transfer function pair is selected from a plurality of directional transfer functions and is more closely associated with the updated target direction than the first directional transfer function pair. The at least one ambient audio signal is then processed with the selected updated directional transfer function pair and the at least one other ambient audio signal is processed with the second directional transfer function pair 37. The method may prevent a user perceiving jumps in the audio signal when HRTFs are updated following movement of his head.
