Title: Encrypted biometric data management and retrieval
Inventor: BAUGHMAN AARON KEITH
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2013-01-25
Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for managing and retrieving encrypted biometric data. A plurality of biometric entries is obtained and each one is encrypted with a unique non-invertible encryption function to get a plurality of encrypted biometric entries. A biometric measurement to be compared against the biometric entries is obtained, a predetermined noise is applied to the biometric measurement, and then the biometric measurement if encrypted using the non-invertible encryption function, resulting in a scrambled encrypted biometric. For each comparison, one of the encrypted biometric entries is subtracted from the scrambled encrypted biometric to get a calculated noise. This calculated noise is then compared with the predetermined noise to determine whether a match exists. Based on a determination that a match exists any information associated with the encrypted biometric entry is forwarded to the requestor.

Title: Methods and systems for processing a DNS request
Inventor: CHAN ALEX WING HONG
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 2014-04-22
Abstract: A method and system for processing Domain name Services (DNS) request in a gateway. The gateway receives a DNS request from a host from its local area network. The gateway then selects DNS server(s) and transmits a new DNS request to at least one DNS server(s). DNS server(s) may or may not be accessible through a first tunnel. The contents of the new DNS request are the same as the content of the received DNS request. Further, when the gateway receives a DNS response corresponding to the DNS request, it determines a decision whether to transfer data to the host whose IP address is specified in the DNS response through a second tunnel. The decision may be based on a geographical location of an IP address.

Title: Friction stir welding method
Inventor: YOSHINORI KATO
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 2014-07-15
Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to form a strong joint while solving the problem whereby indentations remain and mar the external appearance. In this friction stir welding method a pair of plate materials (3, 4) are arranged opposing one another such that the ends thereof (3a, 4a) are butted together, after which friction stir welding is performed. A first shoulder (5) is arranged at one surface (7) of the pair of plate materials (3, 4) and a second shoulder (6) is arranged at the other surface (8) of the plate materials (3, 4) so as to sandwich therebetween a joint (S) to be formed by friction stirring of the end parts (3a, 4a) of the plate materials (3,4), and the first shoulder (5) and the second shoulder (6) are rotated, thereby friction stirring the joint (S) of the pair of plate materials (3, 4). As the joint (S) is friction stirred the first shoulder (5) and the second shoulder (6) are moved from the other surface (8) toward the one surface (7) of the plate materials (3, 4), thereby forming at the joint (S) a protruding part (31) protruding from the one surface (7) of the plate materials (3, 4) as the friction stir welding is performed.

Title: Preventing security threats in a computer network
Inventor: DAAVID HENTUNEN
IPC: G06F21/55
Filed: 2016-05-31
Abstract: Preventing communication through covert channels in a Local Area Network (LAN) by suspending an inbound or an outbound network connection related to a network element for a predetermined period of time, then determining if any respective outbound or inbound network connection related to the same or any other network element ceases to transmit for the duration of the time period predetermined. If an outbound or inbound network connection is detected to cease transmission, then it is concluded that the suspended inbound or outbound network connection and the respective outbound or inbound network connections are connected. It is then determined whether the connected network connections use different transmission protocols and if the connected network connections are detected to use different transmission protocols, it is concluded that the connected network connections are related to a malicious covert channel and action taken to prevent the malicious covert channel from working and may include generating an alert and denying a connection corresponding to the network connection.
Patent GB-2541810-A (GB)
Title: Additive manufacturing
Inventor: TREVOR ILLSTON
IPC: C21D1/06
Filed: 2016-08-25
Abstract: A method of reducing surface roughness of a metallic component made by additive manufacturing by placing the component 1 in a chamber, filling the chamber with a combustible gas mixture and igniting the gas mixture thereby exposing the surface of the component to at least one thermal pulse. The thermal pulse or pulses can be at a temperature which is greater than the melting point of the metallic component and be explosive ignition. The method can be used to reduce roughness caused by remnants of support structures formed during the additive manufacturing process. The component can be heat treated prior to application of the thermal pulse and/or the component can be abrasively cleaned (e.g. abrasive blasting) after the application of the thermal pulse, thereby removing surface oxides. Application of one or more thermal pulses can also be used on components made by additive manufacturing prior to their separation from support structures to weaken or break interfaces between the component and supports.
