Title: Anomalous propagation detection
Inventor: EDWARDS PHILIP TREVELYAN
IPC: G01S13/20
Filed: 2013-09-13
Abstract: A method of detecting an anomalous propagation condition in a Radar system, resulting from refraction of waves over the horizon due to atmospheric (environmental) effects, comprising the steps of: subtracting returns received in a first time period from returns received in a later second time period, and repeating this step over many time periods; if the result of a subtraction calculation exceeds a predetermined threshold, then the period is registered as a possibly including clutter, from multiple time around echoes. The scan may be divided into sectors around the azimuth in which at least a predefined number of sectors (preferably one) must register a result above the threshold to confirm anomalous propagation. The radar operation may change automatically or manually to include at least one guard pulse. If clutter is no longer detected the Radar may automatically revert to its previous mode of operation. An additional claim covers the physical system to implement the method.

Title: A device system, method and computer program product for processing electronic transaction requests
Inventor: Steven George Garlick
IPC: G06Q20/38
Filed: 2014-12-18
Abstract: The invention is primarily concerned with databases 110A/B which record inter-bank financial transactions. Message M1 from a first bank specifies some payment between banks. This is logged in the databases and triggers message M2 to a second bank. The second bank credit/debits an appropriate account and respond with acknowledgement message M3. Message M3 is also logged in the database and acknowledgement message M4 to the originating bank is issued. This transaction message history log is utilised during intermittent settlement operations to determine the amounts of money due to pass between the banks. The logs may be cleared after settlement. The claims in this application specifically relate to the databases 110 being clustered databases and their recording of the transaction messages.
