Title: Operation of an inductive power transfer system
Inventor: LUDWIG CHRISTOPH
IPC: H01F38/14
Filed: 2014-07-23
Abstract: A system for detecting either the primary transmitting unit or the secondary receiving unit of an inductive power transfer system, such as the charging pad for an electric vehicle, includes a detector comprising an electrical conductor, such as a loop or coil sensor, which is used to measure or detect an electrical property of multiple different regions of the detected unit and comparing the sensor readings with existing information recorded about the expected characteristics of the unit in order to determine if the detected arrangement is as expected. This can detect alignment of the primary and secondary windings, or can be used for foreign object detection (FOD or LOD). Each detected region can be sensed according to frequency or resonance characteristics, and the material of each region can be determined, building an array or pixilated map of the detected sector, which can be compared with a stored map of the expected unit.

Title: A system for production boosting and measuring flow rate in a pipeline
Inventor: BEG MIRZA NAJAM ALI
IPC: G01F1/74
Filed: 2014-11-10
Abstract: A system for measuring flow rate in a pipeline by use of a surface jet pump (10) that receives input from both a high pressure pipeline and a low pressure pipeline is disclosed. Flow rate is predicted by utilising existing pressure sensors (P) located on the high pressure pipeline, low pressure pipeline and discharge pipeline (12) respectively. A control processor predicts flow rate in at least one of the high pressure pipeline, low pressure pipeline and discharge pipeline based on correlations between flow rate and pressure for a given surface jet pump geometry and, for example, utilises momentum, conservation of mass and continuity equations, balanced against the pressure forces and velocity in the surface jet pump.

Title: Method and apparatus for a multi-standard, multi-mode, dynamic, DC-DC converter for radio frequency power amplifiers
Inventor: ARNO PATRIK
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2014-03-07
Abstract: A multi-mode, dynamic, DC-DC converter supplies a dynamically varying voltage, as required, from a battery to an RF power amplifier (PA). In envelope tracking mode, a fast DC- DC converter generates a dynamic voltage that varies based on the amplitude envelope of an RF signal, and regulates the voltage at the PA. A slow DC-DC converter generates a steady voltage and regulates the voltage across a link capacitor. The fast and slow converters are in parallel from the view of the PA, and the link capacitor is between the fast converter and the PA. Because different nodes are regulated, no current sharing is possible between the converters. The link capacitor boosts the dynamic voltage level, allowing a maximum dynamic voltage at the load to exceed the battery voltage. In power level tracking mode, the fast converter is disabled and the link capacitor is configured to be in parallel with the load. The slow converter directly regulates the PA, and the link capacitor is in parallel with (added to) an output capacitor. Multiple wireless network standards may be supported, allowing for the sharing of RF circuits.

Title: Data Processing Device
Inventor: JOHN DAVID MERSH
IPC: G06F21/74
Filed: 2015-10-09
Abstract: This application aims to overcome the problem of grey manufacture of electronic devices that are often produced by contract manufacturers (CM). The invention works by having each device 10 have a processor 12 that can operate in both a secure and non-secure mode. The memory 14 also has secure and non-secure regions 16 and 18. The processor can only access the secure region of the memory when it is operating in secure mode, and only an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) can put it into secure mode. A private key 24 is stored in the secure region of the memory 20, and a public key 26 and device certificate 28 are stored in the non-secure region of the memory. The CM installs the software in the non-secure region of the memory and encrypts it using the public key. The OEM can then retrieve the private key and decrypt it. The device certificate allows the OEM to authenticate the device, and thus detect grey manufacture more easily.

Title: Testing applications with a defined input format
Inventor: Franjo Ivancic
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 2017-09-21
Abstract: The invention provides a method for testing the performance of applications such as web browsers, e.g. using fuzz testing techniques. The method includes training 220 a machine learning component, e.g. a recurrent neural network, with a corpus of documents containing sequences (e.g. strings) of text characters in accordance with a defined format (e.g. HTML, PDF, CSS). The trained neural network may represent a probabilistic model of the defined format. The trained neural network is then used to determine the predictability 230 of the value of individual text elements within a test document by determining a score relating to the probability of a particular character equaling a given value or how frequently the character follows same or similar sequences of preceding characters in the documents used to train the neural network. The method may use scores to identify portions of the test document to be modified. When the neural network indicates that the value of a text element is unlikely (i.e. when its score is below a threshold) the value is modified 240, e.g. randomly changed by a mutation based fuzzing module. The modified document is used to test 250 an application that processes documents having the defined format.
