Title: Determining phonetic relationships
Inventor: NIKHIL CHANDRU RAO
IPC: G10L15/26
Filed: 2017-10-13
Abstract: An input text phrase is received, converted to a spoken rendering as an audio output, and transcribed to text again. The text transcription is compared against a plurality of test phrases to identify a match with at least one test phrase. When a match is identified, an indication that the input string is phonetically similar to a test text may be provided, and a phonetic distance between the speech-to-text result and the input sentence may be determined. If the phonetic distance is less than a threshold, the input words and test text are deemed similar. Determining the phonetic distance comprises determining first and second phonetic transcriptions associated with the input text and the text transcription respectively, and determining the number of phonetic speech units that are different between the first and second transcriptions. If the speech recognition text does not match any test phrases, an indication that the input text is phonetically distinct is provided. The text transcription of the sound output may be based on one or more biased language models based on a general language model and the plurality of test phrases. The text-to-speech audio may comprise a synthesized speech waveform.

Title: Packet processing graphs
Inventor: MICHAEL JEFFREY EVANS
IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 2018-08-13
Abstract: A packet processing system with packet classifier nodes arranged in a packet processing graph, including a root classifier node and leaf classifier nodes and possibly branch classifier nodes through which the graph (or tree) is traversed according to matching rules until one of the leaf nodes can classify the incoming packet or a no-match result is made. A first classifier node stores match data indicative of a match corresponding to content from plural packet header field types including a first packet header field type and a second packet header field type, different to the first, and wherein a second downstream neighbouring classifier node is configured to store node match data indicative of a match corresponding to content from at least one packet header field type, including the first packet header field type. This arrangement means that at least one header field is evaluated twice (or is evaluated again) by consecutive nodes in the graph. A first header field may be Ethertype 701, 703 or a DSCP tag (601, 603, Figure 6). A first header type may be an IP header and the second header type may be a port identifier field in a TCP/UDP header. Bitmask matching may be used.

Title: End-to-end encryption and backup in data protection environments
Inventor: CHRISTIAN MUELLER
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2017-02-15
Abstract: A computer receives a set of objects from a client (201), whereby at least one of the objects of the set are respectively associated and encrypted with a unique file encryption key (FEK). The computer encrypts each of the FEKs with a common master encryption key (MEK), resulting in respective locked keys. In an initial backup, the encrypted objects together with their associated locked keys are transmitted to a backup server (205) where a first module determines if locked key has changed via referencing an encryption state associated with the encrypted objects. If an MEK has changed, the existing FEKs are re-encrypted with the changed MEK to generate new locked keys, and, in a subsequent backup operation, sending the new locked keys to the backup server (205) to replace the existing locked keys, while avoiding transmitting to the backup server (205) the objects whose associated FEKs are affected by the changed MEK.

Title: Image processing
Inventor: Dumidu Sanjaya Talagala
IPC: H04N5/355
Filed: 2018-10-24
Abstract: Method of retaining dynamic range, comprising: obtaining a vignetting correction mesh for image data; generating an intensity compression curve, comprising segments, based on the vignetting correction array; adjusting pixel values of a portion of the image data using the intensity compression curve and the vignette correction grid. Encodable dynamic range may be extended. Correction arrays may be pre-calibrated and may reduce or remove lens shading by multiplying pixel values by the inverse of the brightness gradient profile – a flat field image may be inverted to generate a per colour channel correction mesh and white balance coefficients may then be computed. Image regions may be evaluated by applying portions of the correction mesh to generate local maximum output intensity of an image signal processor. Intensity compression curve may comprise two sections. First section may be a linear mapping of input intensity values to equal output intensity values up to a threshold input value which may be a percentage of the highest intensity (local white level) and include a percentage of the input values. In the second section input values are compressed or scaled so that highest intensity maps to maximum output value. Clipping of highlights in intensity curve may thus be avoided.

Title: Management of pre-allocated resources
Inventor: RONEN COHEN
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2018-12-13
Abstract: Uplink resources which repeat with a predefined periodicity are allocated by a cellular network for a UE to utilise. If the UE does not require an occurrence of the resource, it may transmit an indication such as a preamble in the allocated resource. The network decodes the preamble as an indication that the UE does not have any data to transmit but does not wish to terminate the repeating resource allocation. The network may reallocate the unused resource. Alternatively, the preamble may indicate that the resources may be terminated. In a further alternative, the preamble may indicate that data will be transmitted in the allocated resource. The preamble may be selected to have a high detection rate and may comprise a Zadoff-Chu sequence, DMRS, low data rate subframe or combination. Transmission of a preamble reduces UE power consumption compared to dummy data.
