Title: Generating secure keys at communicating parties by inferring the opening and closing of a switch at the other party from current flow observations
Inventor: ANTILLI DAVIDE
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2005-07-11
Abstract: Communicating parties X and Y (A) are connected via an electrical circuit with a power supply (B) and are each equipped with a switch (C). The parties operate their switches in a synchronised manner. In each switching cycle each party sets its switch open/closed in a first period and then reverses the switch position to closed/open in a second. Current flow is monitored throughout. When X and Y make the same switching choice (open then closed or vice versa) current will flow during one period, since this can be detected externally the result is discarded. If they make different switching choices no current will flow and it is not possible to detect externally which party made which choice. However X and Y can infer what the other did with its switch. Each switching option is assigned a bit value by the parties and thereby an encryption key can be built up. Also disclosed are systems to prevent detection of switch position by introducing noise and magnetic materials and related schemes using variable resistances and power supplies.

Title: Granularity analysis in cellular phenotypes
Inventor: RAO AIBING
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2006-03-08
Abstract: Method and apparatus for analyzing images of cells and extracting biologically significant features from the cell images, such as from granules representing intra-cellular organelles. An image is received in which a marker identifies at least one type of intra-cellular granule within the cells. The edges and local maxima are detected in the received image. The intersection positions where the local intensity maxima, after dilation, intersect detected edges in the image are identified. The identified intersection points are then dilated to define granules within the biological cells of the image. The extracted features can include the number of granules, the total surface of the granules or the mean or maximum intensities of the granules. These features can be determined on a cell-by-cell basis, or for particular regions within a single cell, or for various groups of cells. The cells may be hepatocyte cells.

Title: Starting a rim driven pm motor by an associated induction motor
Inventor: HUSBAND STEPHEN MARK
IPC: H02K16/00
Filed: 2006-07-26
Abstract: In situations such as marine propulsion the advantages of a rim driven permanent magnet motor propeller for providing a motor propulsion arrangement have been identified. However, it is difficult to initiate drive of such permanent magnet motors without use of a cumbersome and complicated converter. By providing a combination of a permanent magnet motor with an induction motor in association initial driving of the propeller and therefore the permanent magnet motor up to synchronisation can be achieved by the induction motor. Once near synchronisation has been achieved the permanent magnet motor will then continue operation and drive of the propeller in the normal way. The induction motor association may be provided as a line-starting induction motor in association where there is a conductive can about the permanent magnets to create magnetic interaction with circulating magnetic fluxes created by electrical currents passing through coils about the conductive can. Alternatively, the inductive motor association may be provided by an appropriately rated separate inductive motor coupled to the permanent magnet motor through a drive train and appropriate gearbox to allow a reduced rating for the induction motor.
