Title: Method of fingerprinting with using carbogenic nanoparticles
Inventor: ANTONIOS KELARAKIS
IPC: A61B5/1172
Filed: 2015-09-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to a powder composition, in particular a fingerprint powder composition for the visualisation of latent fingerprints. Such fingerprint powder compositions comprise carbogenic nanoparticles which, when mixed with a suitable diluent (including any existing or future fingerprint powders), exhibits excitation- dependent emission properties which enable the fingerprint powder compositions and imagable fingerprint impression patterns formed thereform to be imaged in a variety of different colours by simply varying the wavelength(s) of any excitation radiation. As certain backgrounds can render visualisation of fingerprint impression patterns very difficult, having the flexibility to judiciously tune the foreground colour of the fingerprint impression patterns is a significant advantage since it permits instantaneous improvements in visualisation without needing to resort to using a different fingerprint powder. The invention also relates inter alia to corresponding methods and specialised apparatus for fingerprinting.

Title: Renewable energy wind funnel for powering of automotive vehicles
Inventor: HASSAN HILOU
IPC: B60L8/00
Filed: 2017-03-14
Abstract: A renewable energy wind funnel apparatus for a vehicle (e.g. automated electric vehicle, car, van, SUV, MPV, bus, train, ship, aircraft), the apparatus including; a wind funnel 1, funnel housing 3, side inlets 4, a turbine 5, a dynamo 6, wiring connectors 7, a Venturi pipe 8, a battery 9, and a DC motor 12. As the vehicle travels forward, wind flow 2 enters the funnel through a main frontal opening and/or side inlets and into the narrowed Venturi pipe to compress and accelerate the air to the turbine, which is rotated by the air flow. The turbine is directly linked to the dynamo/generator, the rotation of which generates electrical energy which is passed through the wiring connectors to the battery which, in turn, may power the DC motor. Therefore, the battery is recharged as the vehicle travels. The wind funnel, Venturi pipe, turbine and dynamo may be enclosed within a roof mounted box. Power generated by the wind funnel apparatus may be used for powering third party devices once the vehicle has reached a destination, e.g. lighting at a camp site.

Title: Method of forming a seal, method of manufacturing a sealed unit, a sealed unit, and apparatus for forming a seal
Inventor: ADAM NORTH BRUNTON
IPC: H01L51/52
Filed: 2017-04-19
Abstract: A seal between first and second panels 1,2 is formed using a sealant 4 having metal particles. The sealant is provided along a path, in contact with both panels 1,2. A first heating process fuses the metal particles. A second heating process provides a continuous weld between the two panels 1,2 and the fused metal particles. The panels 1,2 may be silicate/soda-lime glass. The metal particles may be silver, gold, nickel, aluminum, copper, microparticles, nanoparticles. The sealant 4 may hold the metal particles in a liquid or paste matrix. The second heating process may use a laser, with pulse lengths less than 50 picosecond, ps. Prior to fusing the metal particles, a portion of the sealant 4 may be heated, increasing its stiffness before the panels are brought together, preventing lateral spreading of the sealant, but allowing deformation to compensate for panel irregularities and misalignment. Sealed units may be formed, such as vacuum insulated glass assemblies, or assemblies with electronic components sensitive to atmospheric humidity, such as OLEDs.

IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2017-06-01
Abstract: A monitoring arrangement for an online environment such as a chat room, online game live-chat or for interaction in a virtual world. A rule is applied to a user action in an online environment to produce a result 500. Based on the result indicating to do so, a score is determined 502-514 based at least on two of: a value corresponding to the rule, at least one value deriving at least in part from a first user, and a value based on actions of the second user in the online environment that precede the user action (e.g. historical actions). It is then determined 516, 518 if an intervention action is taken based at least on the determined score. The intervention action may be a notification/warning, a ban from the environment, blocking/muting a user etc. The arrangement provides a protection system e.g. for children to detect and handle bullying/harassment, virtual groping, stalking or offensive language/behavior. The first user may be questioned to determine their state of mind in response to a user action 504 and determine e.g. a sensitivity level of the monitored user which is used in determining the score. Keywords/phrases may also be monitored.

Title: Address translation in a data processing apparatus
Inventor: GRAEME PETER BARNES
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2018-01-31
Abstract: An apparatus comprises address translation circuitry to perform a translation of a virtual address comprising a virtual tag portion and a virtual address portion into a physical address comprising a physical tag portion and a physical address portion. The address translation circuitry comprises address tag translation circuitry to perform a translation of the virtual tag portion into the physical tag portion. The address translation to be performed is selected in dependence on the virtual address, for example on the most significant bit of the virtual address portion. That bit might indicate whether the virtual address has been allocated to kernel-owned processes or to user-owned processes, and accordingly the physical tag portion either matches the virtual tag portion or is modified by the tag translation circuitry by being inverted or incremented. A predetermined part of the physical tag portion can trigger a guard tag comparison between the physical tag portion and a guard tag value associated with the memory location, and a mismatch may indicate a fault condition. A predetermined part of the physical tag portion may indicate a match-all or match-one comparison.

Title: Guaranteed data compression
Inventor: SIMON FENNEY
IPC: H04N19/42
Filed: 2018-06-29
Abstract: Lossy data compression method comprising: dividing a block or tile of pixels into a plurality of sub-blocks; for each sub-block: using a lossy compression mode, selected from a set of lossy compression modes, to compress the sub-block data, wherein the set of lossy compression modes comprises at least one compression mode that uses a fixed (constant) alpha value for all pixels in the sub-block. Also disclosed: decompressing the data by unpacking compressed sub-blocks from a compressed data block and identifying the compression mode from a block mode field and reversing the compression process. Compressed sub-blocks may be packed into data blocks. Fixed alpha value may equal average of alpha values of all pixels in a sub-block. Range of transparency values between maximum and minimum alpha may be calculated and compared with an error value – if the difference is above this threshold a compression mode using variable alpha channel values for different pixels is chosen. Red, green and blue colour channels may be converted from 8 bits to 5 bits. Colour difference values may be calculated for pixel pairs, compared to a threshold and used to select the encoding mode. Pixel pairs may be represented as a single new pixel.
