IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2017-12-19
Abstract: A vehicle keypad lock control system includes a computer programmed to determine whether the keypad master code should be deactivated based at least on data received by or stored on the computer.

Title: Cooperative vehicle navigation
Inventor: JAN BREMKENS
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2018-02-23
Abstract: A method including determining a trajectory 230 of a first vehicle 100 which may be determined by a predetermined route or driver intention such as use of a turn signal. Upon determining that a second vehicle 101a blocks the trajectory an instruction is sent to the second vehicle to adjust the second vehicle speed. The instruction is based on the trajectory of the first vehicle, a second vehicle location and speed which may be determined by first vehicle sensors. If the second vehicle accepts the instruction then it may speed up or down allowing either trajectory 230a or 230b to be chosen. The second vehicle may refuse the instruction to change speed and an alternative trajectory may be determined after sending instructions to other vehicles in the vicinity of the first vehicle. The second vehicle may decide to accept a change of speed instruction based on a time to collision TTC of the first vehicle.

IPC: B64C23/06
Filed: 2018-10-29
Abstract: An aircraft (Fig 1a, 1) comprises a fixed wing (7) and a wing tip device 9 moveably mounted thereon. The wing tip device is movable from a load-alleviating configuration to a flight configuration. The wing tip device comprises an airflow channel 88 extending between respective apertures 83, 84 on the upper surface and lower surface of the wing tip device. The channel is configurable between an open state in which air can flow through the channel and a closed state in which the airflow through the channel is blocked. The channel is configured such that when the wing tip device is in the load-alleviating configuration and the channel is in the open state, the aerodynamic loading on the wing tip device in flight urges the wing tip device towards the flight configuration. An actuator may be incorporated into the device to assist the movement between the two positions.

Title: Verification of hardware design for data transformation pipeline
Inventor: SAM ELLIOTT
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2018-11-06
Abstract: Formal verification for a data transformation pipeline is performed under conditions that simplify the data transformations calculations that the formal verification tool has to perform. The hardware design for the data transformation pipeline may be verified by replacing one or more of the data transformation elements in the hardware design with a function element which is treated as an unevaluated function of its combinational inputs by a formal verification tool such that during formal verification the function element will produce the same output for the same inputs, and formally verifying that for each transaction of a set of transactions an instantiation of the modified hardware design for the data transformation pipeline produces a set of one or more outputs that matches a reference set of one or more outputs for that transaction. Non-identical substantially equivalent data transformation elements may be verified as being functionally equivalent, so that they can be replaced or linked with the function element. A reference set out outputs for a transaction may be used to verify assertions are true for the pipeline hardware design.

Title: Cybersecurity system
Inventor: BRYAN C HARRIS
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2017-02-24
Abstract: A cybersecurity system detects abnormal behaviour of a user device relative to a peer group to which the user is assigned. The system receives an authentication packet from a network activity data capture device, the authentication packet including an identifier of a user of a computing device being monitored by the system. The system parses authentication data from the packet and determines a peer group identifier associated with the received user identifier, the peer group identifier identifying a peer group whose members exhibit similar network behaviour. The parsed authentication data and the determined peer group identifier are buffered into a first event block object and into a second event block object. The first event block object is sent to a first source window of an event stream processing engine (ESPE) 942 configured to process netflow packets, and the second event block object is sent to a second source window of the ESPE configured to process authentication packets. The first source window acts to supplement netflow records generated from received netflow packets with associated peer group identifiers. The enhanced netflow records can then be used to detect abnormal device behaviour relative to other devices within the peer group.
