Title: Verifying the authenticity of a secure subject image displayed in non-secure domain
Inventor: FELTON DONALD
IPC: G06F21/74
Filed: 2010-10-21
Abstract: A device comprises a processor core 8 that selectively operates in either a secure domain or a non-secure domain. Data stored within a secure region 34 of a memory 10 can only be accessed when the processor core is executing in the secure domain. A frame buffer 36, for storing a display image 20 is stored within a non-secure region of memory which can be accessed by the processor core, irrespective of whether it is in the secure domain or the non-secure domain, as well as by a display controller 12. When a subject image 22, e.g. the destination or amount of a financial transaction, is written to the frame buffer, validation data for the subject image, perhaps the image data itself or a hash value thereof, is stored within the secure region. When a user input is received the displayed data, stored at a validated display area to which the subject image was written, is read back and used to generate check data, perhaps the displayed data itself or a hash value thereof. The check data is then compared with the validation data before the user input data is authenticated.

Title: Authentication using digital photo to prevent phishing
Inventor: DAI DONGYONG
IPC: G06F21/36
Filed: 2012-08-18
Abstract: A user authentication or login protocol comprises using a digital photo which is divided or torn randomly into at least two parts (Fig 5d ). One part, server PassPhoto 4, is stored by an authentication server. The other part, user PassPhoto 3, is stored by the user (e.g. in a mobile phone, cloud storage). A message digest (hash) of the photo is created. During login the authentication server randomly selects a patch of the server PassPhoto and shows the image to the user as a hint to remind user about the PassPhoto. If the user recognises this patch image, then the user uploads user PassPhoto 3 into the authentication server. The authentication server generates a recover image based on the user PassPhoto and server PassPhoto. If the user validates the recovered (whole) image then the authentication server verifies whether the message digest of the recovered image and the original image is the same. If the message digest validation fails the login procedure stops, otherwise the login succeeds. The authentication protocol helps to prevent internet phishing or spoof websites.

Title: High frequency disturbance detection and compensation
Inventor: BUCK TIMOTHY MERRILL
IPC: G01C21/16
Filed: 2013-05-09
Abstract: A disturbance correction device comprises a disturbance detector configured to detect and output a high frequency component of a measurement signal from an inertial sensor and a level converter coupled to the output of the disturbance detector. The level converter is configured to convert the high frequency component to a direct current (DC) signal. The disturbance correction device also comprises a compensator coupled to an output of the level converter and configured to compare the DC signal with a plurality of thresholds. When the DC signal passes one of the plurality of thresholds, the compensator is further configured to output a respective process noise increment to a Kalman filter. The respective process noise increment corresponds to the passed threshold. This arrangement is intended to compensate for disturbances such as shocks or acoustic noise that may be produced by, for example, an aircraft encountering an air front, lightning strike or an explosion.

Title: Method and apparatus for implementing changes within a data system
Inventor: OLIVER CRAIG DOUGLAS
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 2013-08-13
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for implementing changes within a data system, particularly an ERP system. The method comprises receiving a request including one or more objects to be imported into a data system, creating a back up request comprising a copy of the objects included within the request as they are present in the system at the time the request is received and storing the back up request. The invention generates a log of changes to objects in the data system from the list of changes to the objects found in the request. Once the back up request has been generated, the request may be imported into the system, with the system being updated by its objects. If the imported request causes problems, the back up request can be retrieved and imported into the system in order to quickly and simply restore or rollback the system to the previous state. The backup request can be linked to the request by an identifier and may be deleted after a predetermined amount of time. A user may be warned of a non-reversible change to an object by either the importing of the request or the back up request.

Title: Correction of time of flight MS ADC data on push by push basis
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN RAYMOND
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2013-12-13
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising pulsing ions into a time of flight region and detecting the ions using an ion detector. The signal output from the ion detector is digitised to produce a digitised signal. The peak area A1 and arrival time T1 of the ion peak are determined and a degree to which the ion peak suffers from saturation is also determined. A corrected area A'1 of the ion peak is then determined based upon the degree to which the ion peak was determined to suffer from saturation. Using the area of a saturated peak rather than the height or maximum intensity of the peak allows a greater improvement to the dynamic range of the apparatus.
