Title: Plasma generating apparatus
Inventor: HEE-SOO JUNG
IPC: H05H1/24
Filed: 2017-05-08
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a plasma generating apparatus 100 including a body 110 having a storage space 115 for storing a sample 1 and a nozzle 190 formed in one side surface of the body 110 such that air in the storage space 115 can be discharged through the nozzle 190. The body 110 includes a skin member (Fig. 2,120) and a flexible electrode portion (140), a heat sink layer (130) and a breathable layer (150). The flexible electrode (14) generates a plasma with respect to the sample 1 by causing a discharge. When air in the storage space 115 is purged through the nozzle 190, the body 110 contracts and the electrode portion (140) becomes closer to the sample 1.

Title: A security system and method
Inventor: TREVOR JOHN WATKINS
IPC: G06F21/55
Filed: 2017-10-11
Abstract: This application is for a data security system, method and machine to identify unauthorised data transfer from a computer system. The computer system will have an exfiltration data modulator that contains data that has not been authorised for transfer external to the computer system, using a modulation technique into a data output that allows it to be transferred outside of the computer system. The modulated data is also suitable for being demodulated to reconstruct the data. It also has a data transducer that converts the data into a measurable signal output in order to transfer it outside of the computer system. Finally, it has a detector that can detect either, the operation of the exfiltration data modulator, modulated data on the computer system and the operation of the data transducer. An action manager may disable, disrupt or block the transmission if it detects any of these. The detector may reside within the computer system as software, firmware or hardware.

Title: Performing vector comparison operations in fully homomorphic encryption
Inventor: FLAVIO ALVARENGA BERGAMASCHI
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2018-10-09
Abstract: In a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme, a method is provided for performing a homomorphic operation on a data set by applying an encrypted query vector supplied as a ciphertext. A data set containing 'i' library vectors, each with 'j' coefficients (fig.4), is subjected to a pivot operation such that each set of common ‘j’ coefficients is stored in respective library column vectors (fig.6). The query vector is then also subjected to a homomorphic pivot operation to separate out its 'j' coefficients into respective pivoted query column vectors (fig. 7B). A more efficient homomorphic computation can then be carried out between the ciphertexts of the pivoted forms of the query and library vectors so as to compute an encrypted set of vector differences between the query vector and each of the library vectors.

Title: Vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy
Inventor: MARKUS MANGOLD
IPC: G01N21/19
Filed: 2020-02-11
Abstract: A vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy apparatus 5 acquires a differential absorption spectrum. A dual-comb is generated by superimposing comb outputs C1, C2 from two QCL sources 10, 12 to provide a third comb interferogram C3’. The combined comb passes through a polarisation modulator 50 to output left and right circularly polarised light. Detector 30 outputs a measurement signal from the combined comb C3’ after it has passed through sample S. Controller 14 sets the frequencies of the light signals C1, C2 such that resultant beat frequencies of the combined comb are higher than the polarisation modulation frequency so that for each left and right circularly polarised light the detector measures transmission through the sample across the wavelength range of interest during each period of the polarisation modulation. A complete vibrational spectrum is acquired in each modulation of a polarization modulator, instead of only acquiring data for a single wavelength during each modulation of the polarization.
