Patent GB-2585882-A (GB)
Title: Electrochemical probe
Inventor: ROMEO-ROBERT RACZ
IPC: G01N27/327
Filed: 2019-07-19
Abstract: An electrochemical probe (e.g. 6, Fig. 14) has a plurality of wire electrodes, each having a conductive core and outer insulating layer of no more than 40 μm diameter, arranged alongside each other. The probe is formed by laying the electrodes into channels 5 disposed, maybe by photolithography, on the surface of a sheet of material 4, e.g. a flexible polymer. The sheet is manipulated into a bundle: in a cross-section of the bundle, the sheet traces out a predetermined shape, and the distribution of electrodes depend on that shape and on a predetermined spacing (e.g. 20 μm) of the channels in the sheet. Sheets may be stacked, folded or rolled to form multiple layers in the bundle, perhaps with a hollow channel. The lengths of protruding ends of the wires may be controlled, e.g. tapered. Metal or metal oxide nanostructures may be deposited on the tips of the wires.

Title: Endpoint malware detection using an event graph
Inventor: BEATA LADNAI
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2016-06-29
Abstract: Detecting malware on an endpoint in an enterprise network, where the endpoint is instrumented to monitor a number of causal relationships among a number of computing objects at a plurality of logical locations within a computing environment related to the endpoint. A set of logical locations is selected from the plurality of logical locations and a sequence of events causally relating the number of computing objects at the set of logical locations is recorded, creating an event graph based on the sequence of events. A malware detection rule is applied to the event graph to identify a compromised security state of the endpoint. When the malware detection rule in the event graph identifies the compromised security state of the endpoint, the event graph is traversed forward to identify one or more other ones of the number of computing objects affected by the compromised security state, and one or more of the identified one or more other ones of the number of computing objects affected by the compromised security state is remediated.

Title: Audio data transfer
Inventor: MICHAEL PAGE
IPC: G06F21/60
Filed: 2018-07-06
Abstract: This application relates to transfer of microphone data from a microphone (101, 102, 102a, 201) to a processing module, such as voice biometric authentication module (111) in a secure manner, such that the receiving module can trust that the received audio is genuine. An authentication module (203) is configured to receive microphone data (DM) representative of an audio signal received at the microphone (201), and generate from the microphone data, authentication data (DA) for certifying that the microphone data did pass via the authentication module. The first authentication data (DA) comprises information relating to distinguishing characteristics of the audio content of the microphone data and may, for instance be an acoustic fingerprint of the audio content. The authentication data, may be cryptographically signed or encrypted and sent with the microphone audio to allow a receiver to verify that the audio is genuine and the content has not been substantially altered. The process may be robust to processing of the data that results in imperceptible changes in the audio content.

The measurements may be used to investigate inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, etc. The NMR measurements may comprise T2 measurements of the tissue. Corrections 8 for movement may be made by obtaining a plurality of temporally spaced images. The calculated measurement of the inflammation or permeability may be an indirect measurement, based on a correlation between the NMR measurement and the inflammation or permeability of the bowel wall. The measurement may be calculated on a numerical scale comprising at least three different possible measurements. The scale may correlate with a physical parameter.
