IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2016-03-23
Abstract: A control system 1 for controlling a plant 2 comprises a feedback loop including an integrator 7; a signal generator 32; and a scaling unit 10. The feedback loop comprises an input suitable for connection to an output 18 of the plant. The integrator integrates a signal received from the input to generate a state signal. The signal generator generates a periodic base perturbation signal 34 with an initial amplitude. The scaling unit generates a scaling factor 30 having a first value if the variance of the state signal is zero, or a second value if the variance of the state signal is non-zero. The scaling unit is arranged to multiply 16 the initial amplitude of the periodic base perturbation signal by the scaling factor to produce a state dependent perturbation signal 35, 36, which is applied to an input of the plant.

Title: Authentication methods and systems
Inventor: JUSTIN PIKE
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2016-05-27
Abstract: The invention provides a solution for secure authentication of an individual. The invention comprises methods and apparatus for secure input of a user's identifier e.g. PIN. An image of a keypad is superimposed over an operable keypad within a display zone of a screen associated with an electronic device. The keypad i mage and/or the operable keypad are generated by the device using a scrambled or randomised keypad configuration generated on or at the electronic device. The configuration or order of keys depicted in the image may or may not be scrambled or randomised. Thus, t he order of keys depicted in the image do not correspond to the order of the keys in the operable keypad, so that when the user selects a 'key' depicted in the image on the screen, the underlying operable keypad is caused to operate and an encoded version of the user's input is received into memory on the device. The encoded input can be sent for decoding on a remote computer. The keypad configurations used for generation of the operable keypad(s) and/or keypad image(s) are generated using an inpu t. The input could be a true or pseudo random number or biometric data relating to a user of the device. The device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, laptop, PC, payment ter minal or any other electronic computing device with a screen.

Abstract: A blank with has foldable body 12 has panels 26, 28 extending from spaced apart regions of the same edge 14 of the body 16-24. A tab 46 on one panel 28 can engage with a slot 50 along the edge 14 where the other panel 26 meets the body. Two weakened regions 38 extend part of the way between the body edge 14 and tab 46 along the panel.

The weakened regions 38 are weaker than engagement of the tab 46 in the slot 50 so that they tear when an attempt is made to open the box as evidence of tampering. Panels 26 and 28 can be opposed. There can be further lines of weakness 60, 47 between the body and panel 28 and/or between panel 28 and the tab 46. Slot 50 can be between 30% and 90% of the length of fold 17, and 1.5mm shorter than the widest point of the tab. The opposite edges of tab 46 can diverge to their widest point 48 and then converge. Slot 50 can include wider aperture 52 designed to be adjacent tip 37 of tear region after folding. Lines of weakness can comprise perforations. The blank can be folded into a carton to contain pharmaceuticals.

Title: Secure multiparty loss resistant storage and transfer of cryptographic keys for blockchain based systems in conjunction with a wallet management system
Inventor: CRAIG STEVEN WRIGHT
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2017-02-14
Abstract: The invention provides a computer- implemented solution for controlling access to a computer-related resource such as, for example, a digital wallet. In one or more embodiments, the wallet may be implemented using a blockchain such as the Bitcoin blockchain but the invention is not limited in this regard. Use of the invention during the initial set-up of the wallet can enable subsequent operations such as wallet transactions to be handled in a secure manner over an insecure channel such as the internet. A method according to an embodiment of the invention can comprise the steps of splitting a verification element (such as a private key in an asymmetric cryptography pair) into a plurality of shares; determining a common secret at two or more nodes in a network; and using the common secret to transmit at least one share of the verification element between the two or more nodes. The shares can be split such that no share on its own is sufficient to arrive at the verification element. This means that no one party stores the entire private key, providing for enhanced security of the key. Two or more shares are required to restore the key. The shares are stored at separate locations one of which is an independent back-up or safe-storage location. If one of the other shares becomes unavailable, the share can be retrieved from back up to ensure that the key (and thus the controlled resource) is still accessible. To ensure safe transmission of the share(s), the common secret is generated at two different nodes independently of each other and then used to generate an encryption key. The encryption key can be used to encrypt at least one share of the verification element, or a message comprising it, to ensure that the share(s) are transmitted securely.

Title: Apparatus and method for utilizing reflected waves in a fluid to induce vibrations downhole
Inventor: WILLIAM A HERED
IPC: E21B31/00
Filed: 2016-10-18
Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus for inducing vibrations in an object in a wellbore is disclosed that in one embodiment includes a tubular conveyable in the wellbore and has at its bottom end an engagement tool that is configured to engage with or latch onto the object. A first flow control device, such as a cycling valve, in the tubular cycles (closes and opens) at a selected frequency or rate and generates at each closing a first upward pressure pulse in a fluid flowing through the tubular and a downward pressure pulse in the fluid, which induces a first force in the engagement tool and thus in the fish engaged with the engagement tool. A second flow control device, above the first flow control device in the tubular, closes in response to the first upward pressure pulse during each cycle and generates a second upward pressure pulse in the fluid flowing through the tubular and a second downward pressure in the fluid and a corresponding second force in the object. The selected frequency may be set to match a resonant frequency of the tubular. The first flow control device may be cycled to close on or before arrival of the second downward pulse at the first flow control device to generate a resonance in the tubular.
