Title: Identifying address translations
Inventor: FURLEY PAUL MICHAEL
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2013-06-24
Abstract: TCP packets or UDP datagrams, travelling between a user (100) and a server (105) via a Network or Port Address Translation(NAT/PAT) device (110) are tapped at two points (120, 125), respectively before entering and after leaving the device (110), and associated into sessions. An IPQuint (IPQ), comprising source and destination addresses and ports and the IP protocol, of each packet from the same session is investigated by passive correlation device (115) to look for matching destination addresses, ports and IP protocol. Preferably a hash of the IPQ fields is taken and compared. The source addresses of matching packets from each tap point can then be correlated. If no unique match is found, then other packet fields may be compared.

Title: Proximity tag and method for object tracking
Inventor: GUTIERREZ GERALD
IPC: H04M1/72412
Filed: 2013-08-13
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a systems and methods of loss prevention, discovery, and tracking of personal belongings through the use of wireless hardware and mobile communication devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers, and portable computers. The mobile communication device 110 sends out signals which are received by a wireless apparatus (tag) 140 attached to an object and the wireless apparatus periodically sends back received signal strength indication (RSSI) readings. The mobile communication device determines whether the signal strength reading is below an adaptable alert threshold, and if the signal strength reading is below the alert threshold, it alerts a user. A fob is also described (fig.2) and this may be carried by a user to warn if he strays too far from his communication device. The fob may be used to trigger a find me signal for the communication device and the mobile communication device may similarly be used to find tagged apparatus. Power saving may be achieved by only transmitting readings when the RSSI drops by a large enough amount or only when the tag is deemed to be outside of a safe zone (701, fig.7).
