Title: Framework for privacy-preserving big-data sharing using distributed ledger
Inventor: GANG WANG
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2020-04-07
Abstract: To provide a trusted, secure, and immutable record of storage operations executed by a storage center for storing measurement data provided by a process plant, techniques are described for utilizing a distributed ledger. When a data contributor such as a process plant generates measurement data, an encrypted version of a set of measurement data is transmitted to a storage center for secure storage of the measurement data. In some instances, the data contributor divides the set of measurement data into several subsets and transmits each subset of encrypted measurement data to a different storage center. Furthermore, the storage center generates a transaction for the storage operation which is recorded in a distributed ledger. When a data subscriber retrieves the encrypted measurement data from a storage center, the data subscriber can verify the authenticity of the data based on the information recorded in the distributed ledger.

Title: Spacing device and method
Inventor: CLIFFORD PETIT
IPC: A47B96/06
Filed: 2020-11-11
Abstract: A method of securing fitted furniture 11 to a target surface 12 using one or more spacing devices 21,22, each spacing device has a first end for engagement with the furniture and a second end for contacting the target surface. The method comprises the steps of mounting one or more fixed length spacing devices to the rear of a unit of fitted furniture, positioning the furniture with respect to the target surface, such that at least one of the spacing devices is in contact with the target surface, and fixing the furniture to the target surface. By utilising fixed length spacing devices to position the fitted furniture with respect to the target surface (for example the wall), the side panels 14,15 of the unit of fitted furniture do not need to extend back to contact the wall (because this function is carried out by the fixed length spacing devices), but can instead be shortened in the rearward direction, for example terminating at or near a cross-brace 16 of the unit of fitted furniture. This reduces the size of the side panels, thus reducing the amount of materials, weight and cost of the unit of fitted furniture.
