Title: Security monitoring system and corresponding alarm triggering method
Inventor: HU XIAOPING
IPC: G08B13/196
Filed: 2013-08-05
Abstract: A security monitoring system and an alarm triggering method thereof, wherein the method comprises steps: a first processor obtaining a first signal indicating that an infrared sensor is triggered; according to the first signal, guiding a first camera lens to capture a first image; obtaining a first background image that is stored; comparing the first image with the first background image to discover a difference; and if the difference meets a predefined condition, triggering a first alarm operation. A method enabling infrared sensor detection and image difference detection to function together is used; therefore, a possibility that a false alarm occurs due to high environment temperature can be reduced.

Title: Implementing enhanced performance with read before write to phase change memory to avoid write cancellations
Inventor: CYRIL GUYOT
IPC: G11C13/00
Filed: 2015-06-25
Abstract: Each write to Phase change memory (PCM) is preceded by a read to avoid write cancellations with urgent reads from nearby locations. For every write, a large block of data is read from PCM, such as an entire partition, prior to the write in PCM. The cache copy of the large block of data is kept in a controller for the duration of write. A read request from the pre-fetched region is provided from the cached copy thereby preventing read interrupt during write operation. Reading a block of data from the pre-fetched region of the PCM may include reading an entire partition following a write request. A read request can then be performed in the cached copy, preventing read interrupt during write.

Title: Method and system for controlling the condition of a biological sample
Inventor: AKSHAY PEER
IPC: G16H70/60
Filed: 2015-11-20
Abstract: A computer-implemented system for controlling the condition of a biological sample, comprises a computer-based resource arranged to transmit configuration data to a sensor associated with the biological sample. The configuration data specifies an acceptable value or range of values, such as a threshold value, for an environmental factor relating to the biological sample e.g. geographical location or temperature. The sensor may repeatedly send data relating to the environmental factor to the computer-based resource. Alternatively, the sensor may be arranged to start recording and/or transmitting data relating to the environmental factor: (i) after the sensor has been configured; and/or (ii) after a specified period of time or at a specified time; (iii) upon detection of a pre-determined condition. Deviation of the environmental data from an acceptable range of values may result in an alarm or alert notification being generated. The sensor may be arranged to delay operation until a specified time period has elapsed, or until a certain condition is met e.g. the temperature of the sample has stabilised. The system may allow real-time monitoring of the biological sample. The biological sample may be stem cells, bone marrow, blood or tissue.

Title: Blockchain zero checksum trading system
Inventor: FLORENCIO CABRERA FERNANDEZ
IPC: G06Q20/36
Filed: 2017-01-29
Abstract: A secure network architecture provides a digital securities trading with blockchain credit guarantees. A collateral asset trust, such as government bonds, secures blockchain ledger bonds used in a private credit-guarantee system. A new crosscheck two-ledger method for verification of users and transactions is implemented to record true blockchain transactions. Every is validated by means of a second blockchain ledger that is verified by secure crosscheck hashing algorithms. This system incorporates biometric user credentials and integrates a background-check SOAP to verify credit records. An improvement over prior-art block chain ledgers is a zero-checksum algorithm, using two encrypted ledgers in order to incorporate vetted user information and transactions in the blockchain, which is proposed as another improvement over prior art by solving problems limiting regulatory approval. The two ledgers undergo a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to form time domain pulses. The checksums are compared, and if the differences between the checksums is non-zero, an error is determined.

Title: A dumper vehicle
Inventor: SIMON J RATCLIFFE
IPC: B60P3/16
Filed: 2017-04-28
Abstract: A dumper vehicle includes a frame 12 comprising front 14 and rear 16 ends and an operator seat mounted to the frame. An open topped container 24 (e.g. skip) for carrying a load therein is mounted to the frame between front and rear wheels. The container is moveable between a transport position for transporting a load and a discharge position for discharging of a load. The container defines an upper extent thereof, the upper extent decreases in height with respect to a lower extent of the wheels towards the front end 14 of the frame, when the container is in the transport position. Decreasing the upper extent in height toward the front of the vehicle advantageously increases visibility over the container of an operator in the seat. The frame 16 may comprise a main chassis 36 having the operator seat mounted thereto and an articulating front chassis 38 having the container 24 mounted thereto. The lower extend of the front chassis 42 may be lower than a lower extent 44 of the main chassis, thus lowering the skip 24 to increase line of sight angle over it, and also lowering the centre of gravity to improve stability of the vehicle.
