Title: Image forming device
Inventor: ATSUSHI MATSUMOTO
IPC: G03G15/08
Filed: 2015-05-22
Abstract: The present invention carries out developer elimination suitably in a constitution wherein the feed capacity of a first feed screw (25) for a developer for a region facing an elimination opening (40) for eliminating the developer is low. The first feed screw (25) has blades thereof cut away in a first region that includes a part facing the elimination opening (40). Thus, the feed capacity for the developer in the first region is lower than the feed capacity for the developer in a second region adjacent to the first region. As an acquisition unit, a moisture detection unit detects developer moisture as information concerning the amount of charge in the developer. As a control means, a CPU carries out control such that the drive speed for driving feed screws (25, 26) is faster in the case of the developer moisture being a second moisture which is greater than a first moisture than in the case of the developer moisture being the first moisture on the basis of developer moisture (H) detected by the moisture detection unit.

Title: Simulation system and method for integrating client behavioral prederences within decision-based simulation scenarios
Inventor: ROBERT PAUL HANLON
IPC: G06Q40/06
Filed: 2015-06-19
Abstract: Client decision-making behavioral preferences for evaluating or coping with unknown outcomes (risk temperament or "RT") and absorbing information (preference typology or "PT") during decision-making events are identified and classified by processing client responses to questions. Behavioral preferences are classified and stored in a behavior-influenced decision-making data set (BDDS). The simulator also receives an objective decision-making data set (ODDS) of factually objective inputs. The simulator combines and triangulates the PT and RT information contained in the BDSS with the ODDS and derives a new data set of resultant output goals (OGDS). The transformed OGDS output is displayed as a triangulation of the simulator's RT, PT, and ODDS, with a balanced OGDS displayed as a bubble or spirit level. Out of balance status identifies deviation from intended outcome. OGDS decision-making tools can be recursively combined as modular blocks to create decision-making tools for other desired outcomes.

Inventor: STEPHEN CRAIG WHITEHEAD
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2017-04-28
Abstract: A crossflow heat-exchanger 100 has first 103 and second 104 sets of fluid-flow channels arranged such that each set crosses the other to afford heat-exchange between cooling air in the first set and hot air in the second set, without the cooling air and the hot air contacting one another.

Title: A method and an information appliance device for preventing security breach in information appliance device
Inventor: VIPIN TYAGI
IPC: H04N21/6334
Filed: 2017-08-24
Abstract: The invention is concerned with preventing a security breach in an information appliance device 103 such as a set-top box (STB) having a unique access card, e.g. smartcard. In response to validating a users content access request 102, a multimedia content server 107 transmits a one-time access key 108, 110 to both the STB and another device of the user, e.g. a mobile phone. The user inputs their copy of the access key to the STB and the STB verifies that the two access keys match. The STB then activates a periodic activation key to provide access to the multimedia services. Therefore, even if unauthorized users try to skip the access key verification process through modification of the smartcard, they cannot access the multimedia service due to the lack of the periodic activation key. Hence, security breaches such as cloning or duplication of smartcards can be minimized. The multimedia server sends the one-time access key to the STB in the form of a control message that also includes the periodic activation key. The periodic activation key provides user access for a predetermined period only, after which the user must make a further content access request.

Title: Rodent trap
Inventor: CHARLES DAVID CANT
IPC: A01M23/16
Filed: 2018-03-12
Abstract: A rodent capturing device consisting of a base chamber A and moving barrier, which may be spring biased. Bait is placed inside the trap in a location E2 that the moving barrier conceals when the trap is set.
