Patent GB-2565295-A (GB)
Title: Accelerometer
Inventor: ALAN MALVERN
IPC: G01P15/125
Filed: 2017-08-07
Abstract: A structure for an accelerometer 100 (e.g. a capacitive MEM accelerometer) has a proof mass 102 in the form of an outer frame and mounted to a support via flexible legs 106, allowing movement of the mass in response to an applied acceleration. At least four fixed electrodes 108, 110, 112, 114 are also mounted to the support and contained within the outer frame of the proof mass. The fixed electrodes each comprise capacitor electrode fingers 116 that interdigitate with the movable capacitor electrode fingers 118 of the proof mass. Accelerations applied to the structure change the spacing of the interdigitated electrode fingers and therefore the capacitance, which can be measured to obtain acceleration. The arrangement of the structure minimises physical separation between the fixed electrodes, decreasing the effect of temperature gradients across the structure, thereby minimising thermal biases in measured acceleration values.

Title: Secure session communication between a mobile device and a base station
Inventor: CAMERON SMYTH
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2018-02-12
Abstract: Secure session communication between a mobile device 380 (e.g. smartphone) and a base station, in particular a vehicle, is established. The vehicle includes a main telematics module and a connectivity module 200, 300 including antenna(s) and processor(s). The connectivity module is configured to authenticate a mobile device via a vehicle-access-key (VAK) 402-410. Upon successful authentication, the connectivity module issues an ephemeral-session-key (DSK) 414 to the mobile device encrypted with the VAK and establishes an active session 418, 422 with it. The connectivity module encrypts all messages to the mobile device with the VAK during the authentication stage and with the DSK during the active session. The connectivity module may automatically revoke the DSK upon expiration of a predetermined time interval. The authentication stage may involve a challenge-response procedure using a nonce. If the DSK is too large to be transmitted in a single message, it is split into a first block (DSK1) and a second block (DSK2), with DSK1 being sent to the mobile device during the authentication stage (406, fig. 5) and DSK2 sent after successful authentication (414).
