Title: Method for anonymising personal information
Inventor: MAWDSLEY GARY
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2010-11-23
Abstract: Scheme for storage of private information on a cloud computing platform without contravention of territorial privacy laws via anonymizing a database of personal data. Data identifiers are assigned to data items and deviation identifiers are assigned to deviations for selected data items derived from reference records. Such information can then be uploaded to a cloud based storage platform. A translation table maps the data items, data identifiers and deviation identifiers to the original data entries. This translation table is stored locally and separate to the anonymized information uploaded to the cloud. The invention further describes a method of decoding the database anonymised according to the above scheme. Translation tables and deviation identifiers can be encrypted. The reference records comprise a common financial profile with pre-characterized financial data. The invention allows statistical analysis to be performed on the content of the data stored in the cloud without reference back to personal information. Data is entered by an authorized person on a device such as desktop computers, corporate servers, tablets, and smartphones, residing in appropriate geographical territories and software splits the data into the identifiers, pushed to the cloud, and translation tables kept within an organisation.

Title: Compensating For Setpoint Changes In A Non-Periodically Updated Controller
Inventor: BLEVINS TERRENCE LYNN
IPC: G05B6/02
Filed: 2013-01-15
Abstract: Controller, device and method which implements iterations of a control routine to generate a control signal using a reset or rate or feedback contribution component that produces an expected process response to the control signal. A continuously updated filter 116, which is coupled to receive the output of a limiter 114, produces a feedback indication of the expected process response to the control signal 105 based on the output value of the limiter and the execution period or time of the control algorithm 100. Preferably the filter provides this signal to a switch 118. The switch sets the output of the filter at the output of the switch whenever a new process variable measurement value has been received, preferably via a wireless transmitter 106 and maintains this value until the next process variable output is received at a communications stack 80. The output of the switch remains the output of the filter that was sampled at the last measurement update. This method makes the controller more robust when producing control signals in the presence of setpoint or feed-forward changes received between the times at which non-periodic process variable measurements are received at the controller.
