Title: Secure token implementation
Inventor: DOVALO JAIME ANTONIO ABRIL
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-04-24
Abstract: A method for obtaining a token for use in a transaction comprising the steps of: determining that a token is required for use in a transaction 903; obtaining an encrypted token 905; obtaining, from a secure element; SE, of a user device, one or more keys for decrypting the encrypted token 907; and using the one or more keys to decrypt the token so that the decrypted token is usable in a transaction 909.

Title: Method and data processing device for determining a spacing of rolling elements
Inventor: THOMSON ALLAN
IPC: G01M13/04
Filed: 2014-10-13
Abstract: A method for detecting roller element spacings in a bearing having at least one row of rollers 10 held by at least one cage, where the method uses roller load induced strain signals to determine the spacings. The method may include application of high pass or band pass filters to strain signal; determining zero crossings of filtered strain signal; appointing roller axis centres as midpoints between adjacent signal zero crossings; determining the roller spacings as a difference between adjacent roller centers and outputting said roller spacings (Fig. 9). A spacing measurement confidence level may be output by comparing the number of roller spacings measured to rollers in the raceway. Roller spacings may be output as angles. An alarm may sound if measurements fall outside of preset maximum or minimum limits to indicate condition of bearing cage or a damaged or missing roller. A plurality of cages 12 may contain the rollers. A data processing device configured to implement the method is also claimed. A wireless transmitter may be employed to communicate bearing spacings.

Title: Method and data processing device for detecting bearing defects
Inventor: ALLAN THOMSON
IPC: G01M13/04
Filed: 2015-10-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a bearing defect severity based on a rotation speed of the bearing (10 figure 1) and on at least one data sample of sensor data obtained by a sensor (12 figure 1) configured to measure vibrations of a bearing ring (10a, b figure 1). The method includes the steps of converting the data sample from time domain to frequency domain by applying a Fourier Transform to obtain a signal frequency spectrum; determining a defect centre frequency of the bearing using said rotation speed; determining peak amplitudes of the signal frequency spectrum in the vicinity of a predetermined number of integer multiples of the defect centre frequency; and using the peak amplitudes for assessing the severity of a defect of the bearing. The method further includes the steps of determining, for each of the frequency peaks, a carpet level of the signal frequency spectrum as a median value of the signal frequency spectrum in a respective averaging interval including the frequency peak; and determining, for each of the frequency peaks, a peak level based on a ratio of the peak amplitude and the pertinent carpet level.

Title: Touch sensor
Inventor: DAVID BRENT GUARD
IPC: G06F3/044
Filed: 2017-02-09
Abstract: A capacitive touch sensor comprises a set of X and Y electrodes having a zeroth order branch extending in an x and y direction, respectively. The zeroth order branches of the X and Y electrodes cross each other at crossing points to form a two-dimensional array of nodes in which the zeroth order branches of any two adjacent X electrodes and any two adjacent Y electrodes enclose a sub-area. The X and Y electrodes each further comprise higher order branches of order n, each of which is confined to the sub-area into which it buds, where order n is a positive integer and where an nth order branch buds from an (n-1)th order branch, so that, away from edges of the node array, each node is associated with four sub-areas. In each sub-area, at least four higher order X and at least four higher order Y branches extend alongside one another separated by a gap suitable for making a mutual capacitance measurement of a touching object impinging on the touch surface. In each sub-area there may be one more interdigitating X branch than Y branch, so that all the interdigitating Y branches are enclosed by X branches.
