Title: System and methods for screening people and their baggage for threats at the same time
Inventor: OSANN ROBERT JR
IPC: B64F1/36
Filed: 2012-07-06
Abstract: A system and method for allowing passage from a public area to a secure area comprises an automated human security portal, operable to detect a threat on a human subject using a threat sensor and retain the human subject if a threat is detected, and an automated baggage portal, operable to detect a threat in the baggage and retain the baggage if a threat is detected. The person and their baggage are screened concurrently. Passage through the system is not permitted unless both the person and their baggage pass the threat detection processes carried out by the human portal and the baggage portal. If either the person or their baggage fails the tests, then both the person and their baggage are detained and prevented from entering the secure area. Access to at least the human portal may be restricted through a keypad system. The person and baggage portals may be synchronised using optical sensors and a coordination mechanism. Baggage portal mechanisms may include dual conveyers, sliding drawers and variable size baggage chambers. The invention allows a person and their bags to be screened at the same time with both being detained if a threat is sensed on either.

Abstract: A set of adjustments for compensating for noise or delay in the output signal of a metal detector is determined by a) measuring 176 the output signal in the presence of ferrite between the coil system at a given frequency, b) digitally adjusting 179 the output signal so that the output signal in a first or second component of the output signal is equal to or below a first predetermined threshold value and the output signal a second or first component of the output signal is above a second predetermined threshold value, the first component being out of phase with respect to the second component at a predetermined phase angle c) storing 180 the adjustments in a database or a look-up table; and d) repeating 174, 184 steps a, b and c for different frequencies. Also disclosed is a method of a) generating an adjustable balance signal, b) combining the adjustable balance signal with the output of the detector, and c) varying the adjustable balance signal to provide a compensated signal. The metal detector can be used to detect metal contaminants in food products.

Title: Multifunctional Extrusion assistance tools
Inventor: LEEUW JON OTEGUI VAN
IPC: B65D35/28
Filed: 2013-08-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a tool for the extrusion of fluid material from a flexible walled tube container such as a toothpaste tube. The tool comprises two clamping elements (1.4) having surfaces (1.5) held in close proximity to each other by resilient connectors (2.1). By applying a force so as to push connectors (2.1) towards each other the surfaces (1.5) are moved apart to allow the insertion of the end of the tube from which material is to be extruded. When the force is removed the resilient connectors cause the surfaces (1.5) to move towards each other and pinch the tube. Pushing the tool along the tube towards the outlet of the tube results in the contents of the tube being extruded. Alternatively the tube may be fed through a slit (1.2) in a first of the clamping elements to extrude the material. The empty portion of the tube may be passed through a second, wider, slit in a second of the clamping elements.

Title: Improvements in and relating to secret communications
Inventor: DEARLOVE CHRISTOPHER MARK
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2014-08-01
Abstract: A first entity broadcasts an ANNOUNCE message announcing its identity and details of other entities it is aware of (a neighbour list, for example). Each of the other entities of which it is aware is associated with a particular nonce. The ANNOUNCE message is encrypted using a broadcast encryption scheme common to the first and second entities. The second entity, upon receiving and decrypting the ANNOUNCE message, transmits to the first entity a SHARE message which comprises a signcryption of the secret, authenticated using signcryption data associated with the particular nonce associated with the second entity. The secret may be a symmetric key for the two entities to securely communicate within an adhoc network. Nodes which are compromised may be revoked. One aim of the above is to keep messages which reveal the topology of the network secure from an unauthorised node.

Title: Dynamic optimization of a multicast tree hierarchy for a distributed switch
Inventor: WALK BRUCE
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2013-02-26
Abstract: A distributed switch may include a hierarchy with one or more levels of surrogate sub- switches (and surrogate bridge elements) that enable the distributed switch to scale bandwidth based on the size of the membership of a multicast group. Moreover, each surrogate may optimize the hierarchy according to one or more optimization criteria. For example, each surrogate in the hierarchy may have the necessary information to ensure that if the next surrogate in the hierarchy is unavailable, the data may be routed to a backup surrogate. The selected hierarchy may be further optimized by skipping surrogates (or a surrogate level) such that the data intended for a skipped surrogate is sent to a surrogate in a lower-level of the hierarchy. This may better utilize the connection interfaces in the transmitting sub-switches and eliminate any unnecessary surrogate-to-surrogate transfers.
