Title: Improving security of computer resources
Inventor: JARNO NIEMELA
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2015-11-19
Abstract: A method for improving security of computer resources, the method comprising providing access 200 to a reference database storing information on resources (e.g. email servers, domain controllers) which trusted computer processes need from a configuration database (e.g. Active Directory). The configuration database stores information on resources in a computer system. A first computer process detects 202 a request for a resource stored in the configuration database. The first process determines 204 whether the second, requesting computer process is known to need access to the requested resource. If it is not, then the second process is exhibiting suspicious behaviour, and the first process causes transmission 206 of a response to the request which appears to the second process to include the requested resource, but which actually comprises a resource indicator (e.g. fake information) which directs the second process to access an environment monitored by an anti-malware program (e.g. a honeypot).

Title: Improved Raman Spectroscopy
Inventor: Rebecca Joanne Hopkins
IPC: G01N21/90
Filed: 2016-06-27
Abstract: Raman spectroscopy is used for determining the characteristics of surfaces or sub-surfaces, such as within a plastic container. The surface is irradiated with two wavelengths, both greater than 1000nm to reduce the effects of fluorescence and with overlapping or adjacent Raman shifted bands, scattered light collected and the Raman spectra generated. The two spectra are combined (i.e. subtracted) to reduce surface absorption effects. Surface offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) may be used, collecting scattered light at the light source position and a second spatially offset position to produce a sub-surface Raman spectrum at each wavelength. The light sources may be lasers emitting light for example at 1118nm and 1180nm. It may be used for inspection of the contents of a plastic (e.g. HDPE) container.

Title: Layer 2 architecture for cellular radio systems
Inventor: OLIVIER MARCO
IPC: H04W80/08
Filed: 2017-03-24
Abstract: Reordering PDCP Protocol Data Units (PDUs) and PDCP Service Data Units (SDUs) by a PDCP entity Several aspects relating to processing PDUs and SDUs between layers in a cellular communication system are outlined. In one aspect a PDCP entity supplies in-order delivery (IOD) of PDCP SDUs, using the PDCP SDU SNs, to higher layers. The PDCP entity stores received PDCP SDUs while waiting for missing PDCP PDUs, and receives assistance information from link entities that allow it to derive a PDCP SN or COUNT value so that the PDCP entity can derive whether PDCP PDUs are no longer expected from link entities, the PDCP entity then performing IOD of the PDCP SDUs from PDCP PDUs where all previous PDCP PDUs have been received or are no longer expected. The assistance information may be from link entities Radio Link Control (RLC) Acknowledged Mode (AM) or RLC Unacknowledged Mode (UM) state variables. A further aspect also provides a PDCP entity that supplies out-of-order delivery (OOD) of PDCP SDUs to upper layers using a reordering window. In another aspect a transmit window is used by the PDCP entity to limit the number of PDCP PDUs in transmission between a transmitter and a receiver so that no more than half of the PDCP Sequence Number (SN) space is in transmission.
