Title: Electric power assisted steering using compensation
Inventor: BEAN ALEX
IPC: B62D5/04
Filed: 2012-10-29
Abstract: A vehicle comprises an improved electric power assist steering (EPAS) system 10, configured to receive a detected value of steering wheel angle and/or steering wheel angular velocity and wherein the EPAS system 10 is configured to improve the accuracy of the detected value of steering wheel angle and/or steering wheel angular velocity. This is achieved by compensating for an angular phasing of the joint 17b between any two linked components of the steering mechanism 10. The phasing may be associated with stiffness, friction, stiction or free-play at a joint 17b. The improved accuracy is alternatively provided by compensating for the effect on steering wheel angle of the deflection across a torque sensor 20. The effect of the deflection is due to low stiffness of the torque sensor 20. The invention is aimed at addressing the need for an appropriate steering feel.

Title: Safety door
Inventor: HALL BENJAMIN
IPC: E06B3/32
Filed: 2012-12-28
Abstract: A safety door assembly comprises a door frame with a door leaf hingedly mounted in the frame so as to be openable in a first direction, the hinged mounting of the door leaf being on a doorpost mounted to be pivotable about an axis 25 parallel to and spaced from the hinged door mounting. The doorpost can thus pivot between a first rotational position in which the door leaf is openable in one direction only, from a closed position in which its free edge remote from its hinged mounting engages a side of the door frame as in the case of a conventional door, and a second rotational position in which said free edge is pulled away from the frame, enabling the door to be pulled open in a direction opposite to its normal opening direction. In this way the door can be opened in an emergency even when opening on its normal opening side is prevented by locking or by a heavy object placed against it.

Patent GB-2511054-A (GB)
Title: Protecting multi-factor authentication
Inventor: NIEMELA JARNO
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2013-02-20
Abstract: The claims specify monitoring state information at two devices associated with a user. During two factor authentication associated with an online domain, the system performs a supplemental security check using the data. During authentication at device 1 the system checks whether device 2 has recently sent ID information to the online domain. If so the authenticity of an application on device 1 is checked. Alternatively, device 1 receives an authentication message including an application or link thereto. The trustworthiness of the application is checked, and if it is untrustworthy then state information is requested from device 2. Alternatively, when device 1 receives an authentication message from a domain, information about the domain is obtained from device 2. This information is used to assess the authentication message. For example, if a PC has not entered a bank-safe mode for a bank domain then the message at a mobile phone is flagged as suspicious.

Title: A method of controlling the stopping and starting of an engine of a motor vehicle
Inventor: HOWELL STEPHEN
IPC: F02N11/10
Filed: 2013-08-30
Abstract: A method and system for controlling the stopping and starting of an engine in which the inlet throttle valve is closed during an engine shutdown, and if, during an engine shutdown period, a signal indicative of a request for restarting the engine is generated 160, the engine is restarted if the engine speed is within a predefined speed range and the absolute pressure (MAP) in a manifold of the engine is below a predefined limit 164. Where the manifold pressure is below the predefined limit it can be assumed that the throttle valve has fully closed on time and that there are no inlet manifold leaks downstream of the throttle valve which gives an improved prediction that there would be no significant fluctuations in instantaneous engine speed. Such unwanted fluctuations in engine speed could result in potentially damaging or unreliable starter motor engagement.

Title: Communications system
Inventor: COLLET THIBAUT
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2013-08-30
Abstract: A mobile communication device 3(UE) is described, which communicates with a universal integrated circuit card 38 (UICC). The communication device sends to the UICC a command s402a relating to a first task requested by a first application. The UICC, in responsive to said first command, sends a response message indicating that the command is being processed s403. The communication device sends to the UICC a second command s406a relating to a second task, different from the first task, and the UICC sends a response to the second command s406b. The communication device sends to the UICC a further command relating to a first task s408a. In response to the further command, the UICC sends a further response message s408b relating to the first task (e.g. the results of the first task or a further indication that the task is being processed). This allows pseudo-parallel processing of commands at the UICC to allow greater efficiency.
