Title: Materials handling system and equipment for use in a warehousing installation
Inventor: WAINWRIGHT EDWARD
IPC: B66F9/075
Filed: 2014-09-29
Abstract: A materials handling unit 1, such as a forklift truck, for use in a very narrow aisle (VNA) storage environment comprises a body 2 with a first set of wheels 8a, 8b, 8c for running on a surface such as a floor and a second set of wheels 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b are raised clear of the floor for engaging with mounting surfaces 25, 26 of rails 23, 24. The central wheel (8a fig. 2) is driven by a motor. The rails 23, 24 may be laid so that rail mounting surfaces 25, 26 are substantially coplanar and provide a substantially horizontal reference surface upon which the raised wheels 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b can run when engaged with the mounting surfaces 25, 26. In this way the materials handling unit 1 can be oriented in a stable manner and is guided along the aisles within a VNA system, as it runs along the pair of guide rails 23, 24. This removes the need to provide a substantially flat floor surface as is required with known systems. The system can be retrofitted into existing installations if required. The second set of wheels 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b may have a circumferential lip (27c, 27d fig. 2). Each of the rails 23, 24 may have an inclined surface (30 fig. 5B) at its end.

IPC: G06Q20/42
Filed: 2014-10-24
Abstract: A means of transaction authorization using a vocalized challenge response. The method comprises the steps of transaction authorization server (30), receiving from a computerized transaction system (20), transaction request data responsive to a user (1) having initiated (S20) a transaction via the transaction system; generating (S50) a single use, one-time challenge, vocalized by voice synthesis and call a computerized electronic device (10, 10a, 10b) of the user such as a smartphone or phablet, using an endpoint identifier linked to the user (such as a mobile phone number), the latter enrolled (S10) at the server, to vocally communicate the vocalized challenge to the user; and communicating (S70) with the transaction system to validate response data sent by the user to the server and/or the transaction system for validation, to authorize (S80) the transaction. The invention provides an alternate method of authorization from known methods of utilizing mobile Transaction Authentication Numbers (mTAN) currently issued via Standard Message Service (SMS) text messages. The preferred embodiment is for use in financial transactions being executed on a smartphone or like, where the voice response, uses two separate channels for execution and authentication making an attack significantly more difficult.

Title: Disk drive with servo system providing time-syncing for gapless sectors.
Inventor: CREECH WILLIAM GARY
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 2014-12-01
Abstract: Disk drives with servo systems include a servo ID pattern (SID) 60 with a servo address mark (SAM) field used for time syncing , as well as, one or more Integrated Servo sequences designed to provide a redundant sync mark function. The write-to-read gaps 23 are omitted before selected servo sector SIDs. For example, write-to-read gaps can be omitted before alternating servo sector SIDs. When in write-mode that allows writing an extended user data sector with addition data bits 24 without a write-to-read gap, the servo system delays the servo gate assertion 25C with respect to the following SID to accommodate the absence of the write-to-read gap, which means that the SAM field cannot be read, but the Integrated Servo sequence(s) can be read and detected by the digital filters. The integrated Servo sequences provide a sync timing function when writing extended user data. User data space is gained by having the gapless sectors.

Filed: 2015-01-06
Abstract: A computer implemented method for suggesting one or more candidate words from a list of preferably ordered words based on an input string (e.g. a word based location identifier) received at an electronic device (e.g. smart phone), the method comprises a first step of providing an array/ table in memory for receiving edit distance values between initial substrings of the input string and initial substrings of each word in a set of some or all of the words in the list of words. The method includes applying an edit distance algorithm (e.g. Wagner-Fischer algorithm) comparing a selected word to a received input string in order to obtain the aforementioned edit distance values. The method includes determining for one or more words of the set of words a number of characters K by which it overlaps with a prefix of a previously considered word and retaining edit distance values in said memory array for said word being considered using some or all of the edit distance values for the K prefix characters of the previously considered word.
