Title: Silencer accessory device for electrodynamic shakers
Inventor: EUGENIUS NIJMAN
IPC: G10K11/178
Filed: 2018-10-22
Abstract: The invention presents a device to reduce noise in an electromagnetic shaker system by providing an add-on device placed on the shaker housing. The add-on device rests with a soft sealing ring 7 over the shaker table (1, Figure 1) and membrane (5, Figure 1). Within a duct 8 and a narrow expansion chamber 9, an active noise cancellation setup with an accelerometer (12, Figure 3), a microphone (11, Figure 3), a noise cancellation controller (Figure 3) and at least one loudspeaker 10. A sound field in the duct 8 is generated which has the same magnitude but is opposed in phase to the sound field generated by the vibration table 1, thereby producing destructive interference. No shaker noise will hence be radiated at an orifice of the duct 8.

Title: Long-periodic antenna with a passband and a stopband
Inventor: PAVLOS LAZARIDIS
IPC: H01Q11/10
Filed: 2018-11-12
Abstract: A log-periodic dipole antenna and its design method comprises: providing a log-periodic antenna with a number of dipoles for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic signals in a pass-band while rejecting electromagnetic signals in a stop-band, without using any external filters. This is obtained in the high-frequency-cut embodiment of the invention by optimizing the first few dipole lengths, and thereafter following the classical Isbell and Carrel’s gradually increasing pattern for the rest of the dipole lengths. The dipoles are on one or more metallic booms and non-monotonically increase in length along an axis of the antenna. The first dipole may be longer than the second dipole. The antenna design method may be utilized to design antennas capable of operating in any pass-band or stop-band just by optimizing the lengths of dipoles, and spacing between dipoles, depending on the desired frequency of operation. A preferred embodiment may provide a low insertion loss for the antenna in a pass-band and a high insertion loss in the stop-band. The antenna may possess highly directional characteristics and provide a relatively flat gain between 7dBi and 12dBi, depending on the number of dipoles used.

Title: Primitive block-based rasterization in graphics processing systems
Inventor: Robert Brigg
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: Generating a rendering output (3024) in a graphics processing system having a tile-divided rendering space comprises performing a geometry processing phase (304) followed by a rasterization phase (306). The geometry processing phase comprises receiving untransformed geometry data for each untransformed primitive, generating (308) transformed (i.e. from world-space coordinates to screen space coordinates – viewport transformation) position data for each untransformed primitive from the untransformed geometry data, grouping (309) the untransformed primitives into blocks (e.g. either so that untransformed primitives in each block are, when transformed, spatially close in the rendering space – figs. 6-10, or according to submission order), and generating (310) an untransformed display list (UDL) for each tile based on the transformed position data, each list comprising information identifying: (i) the untransformed primitives that, when transformed, at least partially fall within that tile and (ii) the untransformed primitive blocks that they form part of. The rasterization phase comprises fetching (312), for each UDL-identified untransformed primitive block, the geometry data for each of the untransformed primitives in that block, transforming (313) the fetched geometry data to generate transformed geometry data, storing (315) the transformed geometry data in a cache, and rendering (314, 316) the untransformed primitives from the transformed geometry data.

Title: Blockchain based system and method
Inventor: CRAIG STEVEN WRIGHT
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2021-04-13
Abstract: A method of performing a commercial transaction between two parties on a blockchain 106 is disclosed. A token issuer 350 issues a token evidencing that a buyer 103a passed a verification process. A first blockchain transaction is sent to the blockchain and comprises the buyer’s funds and a locking script which includes the issued token and a condition for unlocking the funds. The seller 103b verifies that the first blockchain transaction and has been validated (and so will eventually be recorded on the blockchain) and that its output remains unspent. In response to this verification, a second blockchain transaction is sent to the blockchain and comprises an input pointing to the output of the first blockchain transaction and a corresponding unlocking script, thus transferring the funds in the first blockchain transaction from the buyer to the seller. The verification process may be an identity verification (such as checking a passport, driver’s licence, ID card, birth certificate or utility bill), a know your customer (KYC) process, an eligibility test, a content licensing check, or a restriction on how a child or parolee can spend their money. This may involve using a physically unclonable function (PUF) device in a challenge-response process.
