Title: Measuring vehicle speeds with an uncalibrated camera
Inventor: JONATHAN DEVOR
IPC: G06T7/80
Filed: 2020-09-30
Abstract: Measuring speed of a vehicle in a road environment using a calibrated traffic camera. During calibration, multiple images are captured of a calibration vehicle traveling at a known ground speed. A calibration image feature is located in the image of the calibration vehicle and an optical flow of the calibration image feature is computed to determine a model between an image speed of the calibration image feature and the known ground speed of the calibration vehicle. During speed measurement, multiple images are captured of a target vehicle traveling along a road surface at unknown ground speed and a target image feature located in an image of the target vehicle is identified. An image speed is computed of the target image feature and the model is applied to determine the ground speed of the target vehicle from the image speed of the target image feature.

Title: Data acquisition technique for rapid sampling
Inventor: GARETH RHYS JONES
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2020-10-14
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises repeatedly or continuously causing first analyte sample to be released or ejected from a first sample, for example using an acoustic mist ionisation or acoustic droplet ejection ion source. If a quality threshold is determined to have been met or exceeded or a pre-determined period of time has elapsed, the method then further comprises repeatedly or continuously causing second analyte sample to be released or ejected from a second sample. The quality threshold may be a spectral quality threshold (e.g. an ion peak intensity, peak shape or profile). One or more experiments may be performed on the first analyte sample to a preset quality criteria before moving onto the next sample. The experiments may comprise determining an optimum collision energy or setting, determining fragmentation pathways or determining an ion mobility cross section values. The invention may prevent undersampling or oversampling, and may improve sampling efficiency by ensuring high-quality data is obtained before moving onto the next sample.

Title: Software vulnerability graph database
Inventor: Darius Tsien Wei Foo
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2019-07-31
Abstract: To analyze open-source code at a large scale, a security domain graph language ("GL") has been created that functions as a vulnerability description language and facilitates program analysis queries. The SGL facilitates building and maintaining a graph database to catalogue vulnerabilities found in open-source components. This graphical database can be accessed via a database interface directly or accessed by an agent that interacts with the database interface. To build the graph database, a database interface processes an open-source component and creates graph structures which represent relationships present in the open-source component. The database interface transforms a vulnerability description into a canonical form based on a schema for the graph database and updates the database based on a determination of whether the vulnerability is a duplicate. This ensures quality and consistency of the vulnerability dataset maintained in the graph database.
