Title: System and method for authenticating a non-transferrable access token
Inventor: MICHAEL GARRY KELLY
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2017-04-26
Abstract: A non-transferrable access token e.g. boarding pass or event ticket is generated and authenticated, the token comprising access token data and a one-way hash of user identity information (Fig 1). The access token is authenticated by performing the one-way hash on received further identity information 26, comparing 30 the two hashes, and authenticating the token if the hashes match. Alternatively the user identity information may instead be encrypted (Fig 4) using a symmetric encryption key based on a public key and a subset of the access token data, the access token being authenticated by decrypting the user identity information and comparing it to the further identity information. The one-way hash may be performed on the user identity information combined with access token data. The type of user identity information may be encoded in the token to prompt the user. The access token may be digitally signed. The further identity information may be retrieved from a database upon receiving secondary identification from a user such as a biometric scan. The hash may be stored upon authentication to prevent repeated authentication using the same hash. The identity of the individual that presents the token is authenticated without storing plaintext identity information.

Title: Method of training a neural network to reflect emotional perception and related system and method for categorizing and finding associated content
Inventor: JOSEPH MICHAEL WILLIAM LYSKE
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2019-04-03
Abstract: Training an artificial intelligence to reflect human subjective responses to stimuli, e.g. audio, music, images, videos or text, employs an artificial neural network (ANN) to identify similarity between the content of two files, e.g. music tracks. For audio files, measurable signal qualities, e.g. rhythm, tonality, timbre and texture, are extracted from both files to identify musical properties 404. The ANN outputs a property vector for each musical property 408, and the property vectors are assembled into a multi-dimensional vector for each file. The weights or bias values of the ANN are adjusted by backpropagation 422 based on the distance between the two multi-dimensional vectors 410 and any discrepancy between this distance and a quantified semantic dissimilarity distance between the two files in semantic space 412, such as textual description of the track or other semantic associations with events, feelings, themes or environments. Thus, the ANN is trained to align the distance between the files in property space to correspond to the distance between the files in semantic space. The ANN can then identify music files which are subjectively semantically similar to a target file based only on the target file’s objective musical properties.

Title: Feed dispensers
Inventor: ROGER COLLINSON
IPC: A01K5/02
Filed: 2021-04-14
Abstract: A granular feed dosing device 100 with a receptacle 12 for a quantity of granular feed, a dispensing tube 282 in fluid communication with an outlet 16 of the receptacle and a valve. The valve is moveable between open and closed positions for controlling the egress of granular feed from the receptacle. The valve comprises an axially displaceable valve tube 102 located within the dispensing tube. The coaxial tube arrangement permits the exhaled breath (202, fig 11) of livestock (200, fig 11) to rise up through the dispensing tube, through the valve tube to be vented (204, fig 11) from the top of the arrangement, which reduces moisture build-up and reduces jamming of the valve tu.

Title: Anomaly characterization using one or more neural networks
Inventor: NEILESH CHORAKHALIKAR
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2021-06-30
Abstract: Machine learning neural networks are used to collate and analyse user feedback reporting problems such as connection issues, lag, blank screen, games hanging, etc, to identify performance anomalies that occurred during the provision of an on-line computer game or games. The issues, faults or anomalies may occur across multiple on-line games provided by the same platform which are caused by the same global issue. One or more neural networks are used to characterize one or more game performance anomalies into one or more groups of performance anomaly types. Feedback may be filtered to remove unwanted feedback and classifiers may output feedback types using a standardised language. The initial clustering to identify feedback types may be clustered further to group the identified feedback into anomaly types. Clusters may be reduced by reducing the dimensionality of the clustered data or by removing feedback that doesn’t meet a minimum threshold. Clusters representing potential anomalies and satisfying a criteria may be identified and may trigger an alert or alarm to flag a potential anomaly in the game provision system.
