Title: Augmented reality doll
Inventor: SEAN HILTERMANN
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2019-08-19
Abstract: The visual representation of an object is augmented with a different overlaid visualisation by providing information on the location and motion of each movable part (e.g. limbs) of the object. Images / video of the object is acquired and three dimensional (3D) distance and position of the movable parts of the object are calculated (12). An overlay image is generated and overlaid into the same space as the object by a display means (13). The information on the location and motion of each movable part of the object may be captured using markers with different appearances or colours, inertial measurement units, rotary encoders, or may be achieved using chromakey techniques. The object may be covered in a bodysuit, e.g. wearable by a human. The system may be self-contained in a smartphone based Virtual Reality (VR) headset. The object may be a toy or an adults’ doll. A Projection Augmented Model (PA model) is therefore provided to augment the visualisation of an object in a seamless lifelike manner.

Title: System and method for determining a wet road condition
Inventor: MATTHIAS KRETSCHMANN
IPC: H04W4/46
Filed: 2019-09-26
Abstract: A system and method for determining a wet road condition comprises the steps of: receiving a value of the received signal strength index (RSSI) of a radio frequency (RF) signal received from a sensor associated with a wheel of a vehicle; comparing the RSSI value to a threshold; and, if the RSSI is less than the threshold, determining that a wet road condition is met and outputting a pre-aquaplaning warning signal. This works because the RSSI is affected by water in the surroundings commonly known as “rain fade” (e.g. see fig. 4 for wet W vs. dry D conditions). The warning may include triggering a passive warning to the vehicle driver; outputting the warning to an active vehicle control system, such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS) or electronic stability program (ESP); or transmitting it externally, for example using wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V, Car2Car) communication or vehicle to infrastructure communication (V2X, Car2X). The system may also include a camera and/or rain sensor for additional positive detection of the wet road condition/ risk of aquaplaning.

IPC: G09G3/3233
Filed: 2019-11-29
Abstract: A display device includes a plurality of pixels. At least one of the pixels includes an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and a driving transistor, DT. The driving transistor is connected in series with the OLED with a node between the OLED and the driving transistor. During a programming period the driving transistor is turned off and the OLED is turned on. During a discharging period the driving transistor is turned off and a voltage charged on the node during the programming period is discharged through the OLED. During a sensing period the OLED is turned off and the driving transistor is turned on to generate a pixel current to be sensed. During the programming period a reference voltage, which is higher than the operating point voltage of the OLED, may be applied to the node. During the programming and discharging period a first voltage, which is lower than the reference voltage, may be applied to the cathode of the OLED. During the sensing period a second voltage, which is higher than the operating point voltage of the OLED may be applied to the cathode of the OLED.

Title: Methods of generating a key and a communication method
Inventor: THOMAS PREST
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2020-03-25
Abstract: A method to generate a common key for communication between two peers e.g Alice and Bob. Bob generates a public ephemeral-key, ekKEM and uploads it to a server. Alice retrieves ekKEM and uses it with a key-encapsulation function KEM.enc to compute a ciphertext c that encrypts a parameter I. Alice signs c to generate a signature Ϭ, encrypts Ϭ with Bob’s public key and uploads the encrypted signature cϬ and ciphertext c to the server. Alice then generates a common key, K, from the parameter I and signature Ϭ. Bob retrieves the encrypted signature cϬ and ciphertext c. Bob uses the corresponding key-decapsulation function KEM.dec, his private ephemeral key dkKEM and ekKEM to retrieve the parameter I. Bob decrypts the encrypted signature to obtain Ϭ and generates the key K using I and Ϭ. The key may be used with a key-management algorithm such as Double Rachet. The key-encapsulation mechanism, public-key encryption scheme and signature scheme may be chosen from any of: lattice-based, code-based, hash-based, braid-group, isogeny based etc. The method may be used for peer oblivious asynchronous communication, e.g a messaging service, and may be used as a post-quantum alternative if discrete-logarithm problems become soluble by quantum computers.

Abstract: Engaging an actuator of a subsurface tool, preferably a subsurface safety valve (112, Figure 2B), having a valve closure device (228, Figure 2B), which may be a flapper valve, and a plurality of actuation assemblies. Each of the actuation assemblies has an actuation device 214a,214b that may be electrically powered, an actuation rod 316a,316b axially translated by the actuation device 214a,214b, an actuation platform 340 engaged by the actuation rod 316a,316b and a plurality of actuation heads 360a,360b each engaging the actuation platform 340. The actuation platform 340 may be biased out of engagement with the actuation rod 316a,316b by a retraction spring 345. The actuation heads 360a,360b engage an actuation member 220 to transfer mechanical force to the actuation member 220 and thereby axially translating the actuation member 220, preferably against the bias of a valve power spring 238. Axial translation of the actuation member 220 exerts a downward force on the valve closure device (228, Figure 2B) and causes it to move from a closed to open position. Each actuation assembly may have a second actuation device 214a,214b, the first and second actuation devices 214a,214b acting together to cause the valve closure device (228, Figure 2B) to open.
