Title: Methods and devices for automated digital certificate verification
Inventor: Michaella Pettit
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2019-11-25
Abstract: Validating a certificate associated with a first node comprising: receiving from the first node a transaction template containing a first input that references a certification transaction output and is signed by a certification transaction key; obtaining a copy of a certification transaction and determining that the certification transaction includes the certificate associated with the first node and that the certification transaction is signed by a certification authority key; and propagating the transaction template on a blockchain network, the template including a second input transferring resources to an output address, whereby the transaction template is to be validated by nodes on the blockchain network if the certification transaction output is contained within an unspent transaction output set. A public key may be recorded on the blockchain by a certificate authority (CA), such that any third party may quickly and easily verify that the public key is certified by the CA (and has not been revoked). The certification can be revoked nearly instantaneously and/or CA can simultaneously certify a new key for the same entity while revoking the old key. Each transaction in which the certificate is used can serve as linked certificate transaction renewing the certificate to enable a subsequent use.

Title: Strategic treatment of pressure ulcer using sub-epidermal moisture values
Inventor: MARTIN F BURNS
IPC: A61B5/053
Filed: 2018-11-16
Abstract: A patient assessment comprises an initial scan for sub epidermal moisture 644 (SEM) of a body location selected for monitoring. The patient is assigned to a risk category, based partially on the initial SEM scan of the body location. A delta value is calculated for a previous SEM scan. If a delta value for a body location is greater than or equal to a first threshold, a SEM scan is performed on that body location after a first time interval. If a delta value is less than or equal to a second threshold, which is lower than the first threshold, a SEM scan is performed after a second time interval which is longer than the first time interval. In this way, SEM measurements may be limited to when they are needed. The body location may be selected from the group of a sternum, sacrum, heel, scapula, elbow, ear.

Title: A method of operating user equipment in a telecommunications network
Inventor: JONATHAN HART
IPC: H04W36/08
Filed: 2020-10-07
Abstract: In a wide-area cellular telecommunications network comprising a plurality of access points (APs), a user equipment (UE) identifies a default AP from the plurality of APs. The UE further identifies an alternative default AP, with identification based on the alternative default AP and default AP having been simultaneously available to the UE for wireless connection, the UE being instructed to connect to the default AP in preference to the alternative default AP. The UE connects to the default AP and upon detecting a subsequent loss of connection with the default AP, the UE directly initiates only a connection with the alternative default AP. Either one or both default and alternative default APs may be a small cell (e.g. a femtocell). The default and alternative default APs may be designated based on a duration or number of instances of connections with the UE. If the UE fails to connect with the alternative default AP, the UE may perform an AP search and selection process for APs other than the default and alternative default APs.

Title: Method and apparatus for generating a quantum cryptographic key
Inventor: JAMES PATRICK LEE
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2022-04-05
Abstract: One or more electromagnetic pulse sources (e.g. gain-switched lasers, L5, L6) are used to output at least a first set and second set of two or more EM pulses. A first EM pulse is based on the first set of EM pulses and a second EM pulse is based on the second set of EM pulses. A random phase relationship exists between the first EM pulse and the second EM pulse. An optical element (BS3) (e.g. beam splitter) receives the first EM pulse and the second EM pulse on first and second input paths and is configured to interfere the first EM pulse with the second EM pulse and output an interfered EM pulse along an output path, c, d. In one example, at least one attenuator attenuates the interfered EM pulse such that the attenuated EM pulse comprises an average of up to one photon. The attenuated pulse is output towards a further apparatus, for generating a quantum cryptographic key e.g. in Quantum Key distribution, QKD. The beam splitter output on two output paths may represent a path-encoded quantum cryptographic basis, which may be changed to a different (e.g. polarisation-encoded 2c) cryptographic basis prior to transmission.
