Title: Adaptive event-triggered control method for permanent magnet synchronous generator coupled chaotic network system
Inventor: SHAOHUA LUO
IPC: H02P9/10
Filed: 2021-08-16
Abstract: An adaptive event-triggered control method for a permanent magnet synchronous generator coupled chaotic network system, comprises establishing a dynamic model by connecting K identical permanent magnet synchronous generators with resistors and capacitors to form a coupled network to describe an actual power generation system. Dynamic analysis on the dynamic model is performed and in the framework of backstepping control, estimating an unknown item of the dynamic model using an interval type-2 fuzzy neural network. The boundedness of the system states is ensured through a cosine barrier function and stable control is realised in a limited time through an improved saturation function reaching law and a Nussbaum-type function to approximate an unknown function of the dynamic model. Calculation and communication resources are saved by adopting an event-triggered strategy and a second-order tracking differentiator, so as to avoid "item explosion" related to the backstepping process. The inherent chaotic oscillation related to the permanent magnet synchronous generator coupled chaotic network system can be suppressed.

Title: Security method for identifying kill chains
Inventor: IAN HERWONO
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2022-03-10
Abstract: The invention defines multi-step attacks on computers/networks (e.g advanced persistent threats (APT)) as a series of attack tactics (e.g. Initial Access, Execution, Persistence, Exfiltration) which carry out some function needed to perform the overall attack. For each tactic a set of attack techniques (e.g. Drive-By Compromise, Phishing, Hardware Additions, Exploit Public Facing Application) which fulfil the tactical function are determined. Events which match the attack techniques are detected and linked to events matching attack techniques in the other tactic sets. Hence, paths/kill chains through the techniques in the tactical sets are determined and statistics about particular paths may be gathered. Hence, the invention may determine high frequency paths (bold arrows) and prioritise security mitigations at those paths or deprioritise low frequency paths (dashed arrows).

IPC: B22F7/02
Filed: 2022-06-27
Abstract: In a first method of creating a component having a porous part, a composite which comprises a first material and second sacrificial material is located adjacent powder. The powder is densified and bonded to the composite in a single process such as hot isostatic pressing or field assisted sintering. The second material is then removed, e.g. if the second material is NaCl it can be dissolved. The composite can be made by mixing powdered first and second materials and pressing them into a green body or by infiltrating the second material into a porous structure of the first material. In a second method a second sacrificial material is embedded in a structure made of a first material (e.g. made by additive manufacturing), an object or powder is located adjacent the first material, heat and/or pressure is applied to bond the first material to the object/powder and then the second material is removed. The methods can be used to make unipolar and bipolar plates for hydrogen electrolysers, fuel cells and electrochemical hydrogen compressors.
