Title: Selectively enabling and disabling vehicle key security transponder
Inventor: KEENAN PAT
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2006-05-23
Abstract: In order to deter theft of a key, means is provided for enabling and disabling a key so that when not to be imminently used, the key may be disabled, thus rendering it useless in the event that it is stolen. The key may be a vehicle key (14) for use in conjunction with an engine start system which is operated only when the key (14) is validated following encrypted communication with a vehicle immobiliser. The key (14) may be disabled by modifying a security code in a transponder memory (28) of the key (14) so that a code generator of the key is unable to generate a proper validation code for communication to the vehicle immobiliser. The key (14) is enabled by correctly writing the security code (60) to a key memory. The security code (60) may be written to the key (14), and modified, by a terminal (54) remote from the vehicle or resource with which the key (14) is associated e.g. located in a home or other premises. The terminal (54) may include security means such as a keypad (58) for PIN entry prior to operation. Communication between the terminal (54) and the key (14) may be wireless. The key may be operable so as to remain enabled only for a set time period.

Title: Audio amplifiers with compensation for Earth loop currents
Inventor: BENTLEY EDWARD CAMPBELL
IPC: H03F3/183
Filed: 2006-09-11
Abstract: A simple and inexpensive technique for compensating the effect of Earth loop currents in an amplifier arrangement comprises the insertion of a resistance R8 in the Earth line associated with the amplifier U1A so that both ends of the load R14 are subjected to identical signals caused by Earth loop current flowing in the loop V3, R12, R1, R8. The stray Earth-side resistance of the signal input circuit is denoted R1. Although the unwanted signal developed in R1 is amplified by U1A and fed to the top of the load R14 an identical signal is generated in the resistance R8 and coupled to the Earthed end of the load R14 so that no net signal due to Earth currents flows in the load. The Earth currents may be due to electromagnetic fields or may be due to currents injected into the Earth network by other amplifiers. The technique may be useful in instrumentation and control circuits in avionics, computers and vehicle applications.

Title: Appending encrypted local/private data to service request messages sent to external third party application servers
Inventor: EDWARDS JOHN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2006-09-25
Abstract: Companies can save money by outsourcing processing to external third party application service providers (ASP). Where processes are performed internally on the companies network they have access to local information like internal IP addresses, directory group membership, user name and so on. This may be unavailable to external parties due to security/privacy concerns or network artefacts. The invention proposes encrypting and appending this secret data to messages to external third party servers so that they can undertake the processing tasks securely. This additional secret appendix may be embedded in the header or payload of the original message or transmitted separately and preferably does not affect the transit/utility of the original message.

Title: Quantum Repeater and System and Method for Creating Extended Entanglements
Inventor: MUNRO WILLIAM
IPC: H04B10/70
Filed: 2009-06-30
Abstract: A quantum repeater (80) performs quantum local link entanglements (LLE) with left and right neighbour nodes to produce entangled photon pairs, under the control of left- and right-side control units (82,83) . A merge control unit (87) then carries out entanglement swapping at the repeater using photons from each pair, so that photons in the left and right neighbour nodes become entangled. This procedure may be carried out iteratively using a chain of repeaters to transfer entanglements large distances (e.g. fig.9, not shown). Prior to a merge operation, a repeater waits to receive notification from its preceding neighbour indicating that the neighbour has successfully merged its pairs, and the repeater also ensures that an entangled pair exists between it and the succeeding neighbour. Applications include quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum computing.

Title: Allocating physical resource blocks to a user device for transmitting uplink data
Inventor: ARNOTT ROBERT
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2009-12-23
Abstract: A mobile telecommunications system in which a base station allocates each mobile telephone a plurality of physical resource blocks for use in transmitting uplink data. For each user device, a scheduling metric for each resource block is obtained and the resource blocks are grouped based on the scheduling metric. An initial resource block having a better scheduling metric than others in a selected group, e.g. highest SIR value (step s23), is identified and added to a temporary set of resource blocks. The resource blocks in the selected group are iteratively processed to select a resource block within the group that neighbours the resource blocks in the temporary set and that has the best scheduling metric (step s29), add the selected resource block to the temporary set, and determine if the resource blocks in the temporary set can meet a communications requirement of the user device (step s27).

A getter ion vacuum pump has an anodecathode region 13 including cathode plates 18 of reactive material such as titanium, a cellular anode 19 providing a plurality of passageways grouped side-by-side and extending in the same longitudinal direction, means for establishing an electrical field between the cathode and the anode to produce a glow discharge within the passageways, and means 26, 27 for producing a magnetic field in the longitudinal direction of and within the passageways. The pump also has a gas access region 12 communicating with the anode-cathode region, metal gas permeable means 31 between the anode-cathode region and the gas access region completely covering the entrance to the anode-cathode region and means for maintaining the gas permeable means 31 at such an electrical potential as to confine the electrical field and hence the glow discharge within the anode-cathode region, by, for example, electrically connecting the gas permeable means 31 to the cathode plates 18 and to the earthed pump envelope 11 which can be made of stainless steel. The gas-permeable means 31 can be in mesh or louvre form. In operation evacuation is effected to a pressure of approximately 10<SP>-2</SP>mms. by a mechanical pump, a positive potential of 3000 volts is applied to the anode, and a magnetic field of between 1000 and 1800 gauss is applied by the permanent magnets 26 and pole pieces 27. Two anode-cathode regions 13 can be provided. The pump can be of rectangular cross-section or of circular crosssection with a central gas access region communicating with a plurality of radially extending anode-cathode regions through gas permeable means. In the construction shown in Fig. 7 the envelope 51 has cathode plates 58 secured to its top and bottom portions and rectangular cellular anodes 59 in the overall form of an annular shaped honeycomb. A magnet (not shown) provides a magnetic field aligned with the anode passageways. A gas permeable cylindrical member 65 covers the entrance of the central chamber 55 to the outer chamber 55<SP>1</SP>. A gas permeable shield 65<SP>1</SP> can be fixed across the aperture in the top plate 53. If the getter ion vacuum pump is used within the structure it is desired to evacuate gas permeable means could completely surround the pumping means to confine the discharge to the cathodeanode region.
