Title: Computed tomography imaging
Inventor: CHARLOTTE K HAGEN
IPC: A61B6/03
Filed: 2018-12-13
Abstract: An X-ray beam 12 is generated in a z direction from a focal spot 3. A mask 10 comprises a plurality of apertures with period p in a direction x orthogonal to z. It forms a plurality of X-ray beamlets 14. The beam is passed through a subject 6, and images are captured on X-ray detector 8 which has an array of pixels with period a. The subject 6 is moved with respect to the X-ray detector and mask, including a rotation around a y axis, and a computed tomography image is reconstructed from the plurality of measured data points. The mask is structured such that each of the beamlets defines a region in the subject which when geometrically scaled to the detector mask is less than F, wherein F is the full width half maximum FWHM of the overall spread function caused by the combination of finite size of the focal spot and the finite pixel resolution at the plane of the detector. The mask may be on the X-ray source side of the subject. p may be equal to a/m where m is the effective magnification between the mask and the detector.

Patent GB-2583112-A (GB)
Title: Efficient protection for an IKEv2 device
Inventor: GRAHAM BARTLETT
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2019-04-16
Abstract: A method to drop Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) traffic that does not appear to be trustworthy. A snapshot is taken of legitimate traffic so that IKE_SA_INIT and IKE_AUTH messages can be identified and characterised. This is done by noting at least the size of the IKEv2 header and its accompanying payload. A firewall or filtering rule can then be constructed that identifies the message type and drops any non-legitimate traffic which does not conform to the expected size. Attributes in the IKEv2 header such as nonce size or vendor ID may also be used to create filtering rules. Additional rules may also be created to accommodate the use of IKEv2 features such as redirects or cookie notifications. The invention may be implemented as part of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway. The advantage of the invention is that only known good VPN handshake traffic is permitted and traffic that does not conform to known good packet sizes may be discarded. No decryption process is necessary since only the sizes of the received packets are used in the determination process.

Title: Indirect radar detection
Inventor: DOUGLAS ROGER PULLEY
IPC: G01S13/04
Filed: 2019-06-28
Abstract: A method of detecting the presence of an object of low radar cross section (RCS) comprises using radar detection at one or more frequencies greater than 2GHz to determine a steady state response profile of the environment S602, the profile comprising at least one indication of one or more reflected signals from an object of high RCS. The profile is stored in memory S603 and radar detection is again subsequently used to determine a test response profile of the environment S604. The test response profile is compared with the steady state response profile S605 to determine the presence of an object S606 of low RCS via identifying at least partial absence of at least one reflected signal in the test response profile. The environment may be an indoor environment and the radar detection may involve frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) detection. An electronic device may be controlled based upon the determined presence of an object of low RCS.
