Title: Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding images
Inventor: TERO RISSA
IPC: H04N19/93
Filed: 2015-03-05
Abstract: The invention relates to assigning context labels to magnitude bits of coefficients used in the coding of images in, for example, a JPEG2000 compliant encoder. A stripe comprising a magnitude bit of two or more coefficients, each magnitude bit belonging to the same bit-plane is obtained. The coefficients represent an image or a part of the image. Context matrices are obtained for the current bit plane and a bit plane one layer above the current bit plane (i.e. the previous bit plane.) These context matrices comprise the significance states of the two or more coefficients and of neighbouring coefficients. A context stripe of a bit plane one layer above the previous bit plane comprising the significance state of coefficients on a bit plane two layers above the current bit plane, and a significance propagation state context matrix comprising the significance of coefficients and neighbouring coefficients on the current bit plane are also obtained. At least one of these obtained matrices or stripes are then used to construct a context label for each said two or more magnitude bits in parallel by assigning a context label selected from a set of context labels.

Title: Negative-polarization spin-torque-oscillator
Inventor: KEIICHI NAGASAKA
IPC: H03B15/00
Filed: 2015-09-23
Abstract: A spin torque oscillator (STO) 300 has a first magnetic layer 304, a second magnetic layer 308 and an interlayer 306 disposed between the first and second magnetic layers. One of the first and second magnetic layers is made of a negative polarization material while the other magnetic layer is made of a positive polarization material. As a result, the magnetizations in the first and second magnetic layers are in the same direction when in oscillation, which suppresses the partial cancellation of the magnetizations in the first and second magnetic layers and strengthens the AC magnetic field. Negative polarization materials have opposite directions of magnetization and spin. The STO can be used for microwave assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) in a write head of hard disc drive. The STO may comprise an underlayer 302 and a cap 310. The first magnetic layer may be a spin polarization layer and the second magnetic layer may be a field generation layer.

Title: Method and apparatus for generating time series data sets for predictive analysis
Inventor: JOSEPH TOWNSEND
IPC: G06Q40/04
Filed: 2016-02-29
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating, from time-series data (e.g. stock market, exchange rate, bitcoin price prediction, sales figures), a time-series of data sets for predictive analysis, comprises dividing the time-series data into evenly sized overlapping segments of data, generating an image representing data (e.g. a plot of a specific time window) for each segment, using the time-series data to determine a trend associated with each image, and storing each of the generated images and its associated trend as a data set. In some embodiments of the method the image from each stored data set is transformed into numerical vectors through a feature extraction process using a pre-trained convolutional neural network. The numerical vectors are stored in association with the data set, and the data sets and associated numerical vectors are used to predict the trend for a new time-series image which has been generated from any time-series data.

Title: Attack resistant biometric authorised device
Inventor: Jose Ignacio Wintergerst Lavin
IPC: G06F21/32
Filed: 2016-03-24
Abstract: A biometric authorised device includes a signal checking module for providing a signal checking parameter derived from the output signal. The signal checking parameter is a function of the output signal with the same function being used each time the processing unit receives an output signal from the biometric sensor. A number of past signal checking parameters are stored on the device and a new signal checking parameter is compared to the stored signal checking parameters and if they are identical then access to the protected features is denied. The signal checking parameter maybe a checksum and similar or identical checksums may indicate a fraudulent use of a duplicate electrical signal between the biometric sensor and processing unit as fingerprints are variable and noisy. If the checksum is different to the stored checksums then access may be permitted if the fingerprint is a match to an enrolled fingerprint. This may protect against so called sniffer attacks.

Title: Systems and methods for purging an exhaust reductant delivery system
Inventor: RICHARD D YOUNG
IPC: F04B49/08
Filed: 2016-03-03
Abstract: A hydraulic system comprises a fluid tank and a pump, including a pump reservoir, fluidly coupled to the tank via a supply line. A valve is in fluidic communication with the pump reservoir via a pressure line. A backflow line fluidly couples the pump reservoir to the fluid tank via a timer reservoir and an orifice included in the timer reservoir. The hydraulic system transitions between a normal state and a purge state. In the normal state in which the pump is on, a first portion of the fluid is communicated from the pump reservoir to the valve and a second portion of the fluid is communicated from the pump reservoir to the tank. In the purge state, the pressure line and valve are purged followed by the backflow line and the pump reservoir such that no fluid remains in the pump reservoir.
