Title: Authorized remote access to an operating system hosted by a virtual machine
Inventor: JENKIN PETER
IPC: G06F21/30
Filed: 2013-09-18
Abstract: A client system receives a request to load an operating system hosted by a virtual machine provided by a remote server. The client generates an authentication token. The client sends the token to the server with a request to shut down the operating system. In response to verifying that the token is valid, the server shuts down the operating system. The client then generates a second token. The client then sends the second token to the server with an initial program load instruction to restart the operating system. In response to verifying that the second token is valid, the server executes the initial program load instruction. The shutdown and load instructions may include identification of a user of the client system or identification of the operating system. The tokens may be generated based on the load request or authentication information provided by the client system or a user.

Title: Control system and method
Inventor: WOODLEY JONATHAN
IPC: B60W50/00
Filed: 2014-02-18
Abstract: A system for a vehicle comprises first (12 see fig 4) and second (11 see fig 4) controllers. Typically these are a low speed progress control system (12) and a powertrain controller (11). In a first state, the first controller (12) is configured to generate a controller powertrain signal in order to cause the powertrain to develop drive torque and cause the vehicle to operate in accordance with a target speed value. The second controller (11) receives a signal indicative of the state of the first controller (12) and receives the controller powertrain signal. The second controller (11) causes the powertrain to deliver an amount of drive torque according to the controller powertrain signal in dependence on the state signal. If the powertrain signal exceeds a threshold torque for more than a specified period, the second controller (11) causes a change of the first controllers state. The invention is usable in a step S113 for disabling low speed progress control.

Title: Secure pairing of personal device with host device
Inventor: JOHN WILLIAM DUFFELL
IPC: G06F21/36
Filed: 2014-10-29
Abstract: Pairing one or more personal devices to a host device where personal devices are detected in wireless proximity of the host device via NFC, Bluetooth, RFID etc. A unique input instruction for each personal device in range is allocated and stored, wherein the unique input instruction is convertible to an augmented reality display input at a personal device such as a mobile phone, tablet or wearable devices such as headsets. When a user views the input interface of the host device through their personal device it provides via augmented reality an overlay of the unique input instruction on the host input interface. This unique input is then received from a user of the personal device at an input interface of the host device and activates an exclusive pairing between the host device and the personal device for which the unique input has been received.

Title: Information processing apparatus and information processing method
Inventor: UEMATSU TARO
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2015-01-15
Abstract: An information processing apparatus 1040 comprises first acquisition means 1020, 1050 for acquiring a viewpoint position (3025, figure 3) and orientation of an observer who observes a first three-dimensional virtual object 2090 arranged in a virtual space, the first 3D virtual object having a first cross-section plane 2040. A second acquisition means (1070, figure 1) acquires a first normal vector 2100 associated with the cross-section plane 2040. Based upon the position and orientation of the viewpoint and the first normal vector 2100, an image generation means is able to generate a second 3D virtual object having a second cross-section plane with a second associated normal vector, different from the first cross-section plane 2040. An image output unit (1140, figure 1) sends the image of the second 3D virtual object to a display for observer viewing. The invention allows the observer to interact with the virtual object in a more intuitive manner which is dependent upon the relative alignment of the viewing direction and the cross-section plane normal vector. The observer may view the images using head-mounted display (HMD) 101 which may be equipped with left and right cameras to enable a stereo mixed reality display of the virtual object superimposed upon real images of the surrounding environment.

Title: Optimized multiple reaction monitoring or single ion recording method
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN RAYMOND
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2015-02-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for mass spectrometry, wherein the emergence or elution of an ion of interest, or a product ion of interest indicative of a transition of interest (such as a fragmentation reaction), is monitored. When it is determined that the ion or transition of interest has eluted, monitoring is discontinued for that ion or transition, or the dwell time for that ion or transition is reduced. In experiments where multiple ions of interest are monitored during a single acquisition, and, for example, a mass filter is used to scan the masses or mass to charge ratios (m/z) of ions of interest during a cycle, when elution of a first ion of interest is complete, for example from a liquid chromatographic source (LC), the filter may be controlled to discontinue monitoring for that mass or m/z and thereby improve the duty cycle of the other mass or m/z ranges.

Title: A system for use in a vehicle
Inventor: ANDREW FAIRGRIEVE
IPC: G01C21/34
Filed: 2015-03-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for use in a vehicle for determining in real time whether to permanently store vehicle data indicative of at least one vehicle-related feature during a vehicle journey. The system receives the vehicle data from at least one subsystem of the vehicle at a first location of the journey and stores it as a permanent data point. Vehicle data obtained at a second location of the journey is stored as a temporary data point, the second location being subsequent to the first. During the journey an equation of the straight line passing through the permanent data point and a data point obtained at a current location of the vehicle is determined and the shortest distance between the temporary data point and the determined straight line is calculated. The temporary data point is stored as a permanent data point only if the calculated shortest distance is greater than a predetermined threshold distance value, in a similar manner to a Douglas Peucker algorithm.

Title: Handle Assembly For A Vacuum Cleaner
Inventor: OLIVER STANTON BLANCHARD
IPC: A47L9/32
Filed: 2015-09-21
Abstract: A handle assembly for a vacuum cleaner comprises a handle 2, a duct 3, a valve assembly 4 and a cover 5. The handle 2 is attached to the duct 3, which has an inlet 15 at one end, an outlet at an opposite end, and a bleed aperture 17 located between the inlet 15 and the outlet. The valve assembly 4 comprises a valve 20 and an actuator 21. The valve 20 is moveable between a closed position and an open position, with the valve 20 closing the bleed aperture 17 when in the closed position and opening the bleed aperture 17 when in the open position. The actuator 21 moves the valve 20 from the closed position to the open position when actuated. The cover 5 surrounds the duct 3 such that an upper part of the cover 5 overlies the bleed aperture 17 and the valve 20, and one or more holes 29 are formed in a lower part of the cover 5. During use, suction at the outlet causes a primary airflow to be drawn into the duct 3 via the inlet 15. Additionally, when the valve 20 is in the open position, the suction causes a secondary airflow to be drawn in through the holes 29, around the space between the duct 3 and the cover 5, and into the duct 3 via the bleed aperture 17. The arrangement reduces noise.
