Title: Method to transmit messages between user equipments
Inventor: BO HOLM BJERRUM
IPC: H04W12/02
Filed: 2019-10-25
Abstract: An apparatus, such as a vehicle-to-everything user equipment V2X-UE, sends a message to a set of user equipment via a groupcast communication. The message comprises a layer 2 group identity and a layer 2 source identity, wherein the source identity is based on a secret and a counter value. The apparatus receives a direct communication request from another user equipment of the set via a unicast communication. The apparatus accepts the request, authenticates the user equipment and sends the secret and the counter value to the user equipment via the unicast communication. The unicast communication may be on a vehicle-to-vehicle V2V sidelink. The V2X-UE stays anonymous to passive attackers who are eavesdropping groupcast communication under L2 group identity.

Title: Method of threat detection
Inventor: PAOLO PALUMBO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2019-11-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for threat detection in a network. The start of a new process is detected, S202, at a node in the network and it is determined whether the new process requires external code modules, S203. The times at which required external modules are loaded are observed relative to the time of the new process starting, S204. If the load time is outside predetermined expected boundaries, S205, then the usage of the external module is considered anomalous, S206. Action is then taken to protect the node and/or the network, S207. The new process may comprise the execution of: a code module, a dynamic load library or a shared object. The related executable image for the new process may be determined as known clean by satisfying whitelisting criteria. The file contents of the executable image may be processed to retrieve a list of the external code modules that are expected. The advantage of the invention is that it may detect living-off-the-land (LotL) attacks which abuse legitimate software and trust in its originators. The invention may improve detection of such threats which occur inside a reputable trustworthy process or executable image.

Title: Training of artificial neural networks
Inventor: Manuel Le Gallo-Bourdeau
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2018-10-23
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for training an artificial neural network having a succession of layers of neurons interposed with layers of synapses. A set of crossbar arrays of memristive devices, connected between row and column lines, implements the layers of synapses. Each memristive device stores a weight Ŵ for a synapse interconnecting a respective pair of neurons in successive neuron layers. The training method comprises performing forward propagation, backpropagation and weight-update operations of an iterative training scheme by, in at least one of the forward propagation and backpropagation operations of the scheme, applying input signals, associated with respective neurons, to one of row and column lines of the set of arrays to obtain output signals on the other of the row and column lines, and storing digital signal values corresponding to the input and output signals in a digital processing unit operatively coupled to the set of arrays. The weight-update operation of the scheme is performed by calculating, in the digital processing unit, digital weight-correction values ΔW, dependent on the stored digital signal values, for respective memristive devices, and applying programming signals to those devices to update the stored weights Ŵ in dependence on the respective digital weight-correction values ΔW.

Title: Methods and systems for monitoring compliance with health and/or sanitation requirements at a site or building
Inventor: SYED AHMED
IPC: G16H40/63
Filed: 2020-05-21
Abstract: A method for monitoring compliance with health and sanitation requirements comprising determining at a server 107 whether an individual meets health and/or sanitation criterion based on information from sensors at a sanitation station 103 indicating health data e.g. temperature sensor, voice signal, swab, blood sample or breathalyser, or whether the individual has complied with sanitation actions e.g. dispensing sufficient volume of hand sanitiser or donning PPE, and logging the compliance data in association with identify information of the individual in a database. The sensors may determine whether the individual is infected with a contagious pathogen. A compliance rating may be determined for the individual based on compliance data from multiple sanitation stations. Weightings and risk factors may be assigned to different sanitation criteria. Access to an area of a site or building may be controlled based on the overall compliance rating. Location of the individual may be tracked to determine their route through a site or building to enforce safety precautions such as quarantining areas and identifying others with whom the individual had contact. Hand sanitiser may be automatically refilled from a reservoir or a notification may be issued based on sensed volume.

IPC: F23R3/28
Filed: 2021-11-11
Abstract: A swirler assembly 50 includes a primary swirler 102 with an associated fuel nozzle 106, and a secondary swirler 104. The primary swirler defines a primary swirl passage 112 and the secondary swirler defines a secondary swirl passage 134. Between the primary swirler and the secondary swirler is a connection that includes a primary swirler connecting portion 118 and a secondary swirler connecting member 142, that together engage and interface the primary swirler and secondary swirler in the longitudinal direction and permit radial movement between both swirlers.

Title: Long platform guy-wire hanging basket and construction method for main girder section
Inventor: DONG CHEN
IPC: E01D21/10
Filed: 2020-10-27
Abstract: A construction method for a long platform guy-wire hanging basket and a main girder section. The method comprises the following steps: extending load-bearing ends of a load-bearing mechanism (1) out of a cast concrete section (2) to set positions and anchoring same; hoisting precast anchor blocks (31) to preset positions above the load-bearing ends, connecting the precast anchor blocks (31) and the load-bearing ends by using anchors (32), and providing a shearing mechanism (4) between the cast concrete section (2) and the precast anchor blocks (31); and once stay cables (5) are installed to cable conduits (311) and tensioned, pouring concrete between the cast concrete segment (2) and the precast anchor blocks (31) to complete the pouring of the main girder section. The method solves the problems of: when the stay cables are connected to an arc-shaped head of the guy-wire hanging basket by using guy-wire rods, once main girder concrete is poured, tensioned and prestressed, the guy-wire rods need to be dismantled, and the cable force of the stay cables needs to be converted from the arc-shaped head to the concrete the main girder, and during a "system conversion" process, there will be great instantaneous cable forces, which can easily damage the structure. The method may reduce the number of guy-wires and increase the construction efficiency.
