Title: Pulling Structures into Water
Inventor: ARNBJORN JOENSEN
IPC: F16L1/16
Filed: 2020-04-29
Abstract: A structure, such as a pipeline bundle, is pulled into or through shallow water, for example when launching the structure, by applying a tensile pulling force to the structure through rigging 22 that extends to the structure from a winch of a first vessel 12. The pulling force is at least partially reacted through a pennant line 24 that extends from the first vessel to a second vessel 14 and that hangs between the first and second vessels to engage the seabed soil 18 frictionally. The vessels may also self-propel to contribute their thrust to the pulling force. The pennant line includes a clump weight such as a bundle of chains that can be repositioned easily for additional pulls by being lifted between the vessels before being lowered to the seabed at a new location. A method of using the pulling arrangement and the pulling arrangement itself is disclosed.

Title: Autonomous vehicle operation using linear temporal logic
Inventor: TICHAKORN WONGPIROMSARN
IPC: B60W60/00
Filed: 2020-06-04
Abstract: Techniques are provided for autonomous vehicle operation using linear temporal logic. The invention defines several possible motion segments between a start point and an end point (a first and second spatiotemporal location). Motion segments meeting an operational constraint, e.g. a speed limit, are labelled as "true" (called linear temporal logic expression). If all motion segments are false, a cost function (operational metric) is generated, considering also possible ranks between the constraints. Collision avoidance takes precedence over comfort. The system selects a motion segment based on the cost function.

Abstract: A method and system for distributed storage of key components which are processed together in a key-assembly process to create a cryptographic key. Also, a method and system for the recovery from storage and reconstruction of the components to subsequently re-generate the cryptographic key. A plurality of key components A-B are generated by different respective computing devices or enclaves 41-42 such that they may be processed together to generate a cryptographic key. A secret sharing process is applied to each key component to generate a plurality of shares, A-1/2/3 for component A and B-1/2 for component B. The shares are then stored in separate storage enclaves 43-47, i.e. first storage, second storage etc. To regenerate the key a subset of the shares of at least a predetermined threshold is received from the storage for each key component. A secret-sharing reconstruction process is then used to reconstruct the key components A and B. A key assembly process is then applied to the components to generate the cryptographic key. The secret sharing process may be Shamir’s secret sharing, Blakley's secret sharing or based upon Chinese remainder theorem. The key assembly process may be a bit-wise exclusive OR (XOR) of the key components.
