Title: Mapping keys to a blockchain overlay network
Inventor: JACK DAVIES
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2019-12-24
Abstract: A method of managing an overlay network overlaid on data-storage transactions of a blockchain, whereby data content of the overlay network is stored in payloads of the data-storage transactions and overlay-layer links are defined between the data-storage transactions. The method comprises identifying a graph structure, preferably a tree structure of the overlay network 300, wherein nodes 301 correspond to different data-storage transactions and edges 302 correspond to the links. Each node is associated with a respective first key for signing an input of a child data-storage transaction to authorise writing the child to the blockchain. The method further comprises using a child key derivation, CKD, function to determine a hierarchical set of second keys 500 having the same graph structure as the overlay network, wherein the second keys enable an additional function other than signing inputs of the data-storage transactions, which can be one of obfuscation, encryption or funding. Further, the position of a node is received to determine a second key, which then performs its function. A CKD function may also determine the first keys, as well as further sets of keys with other functions.

Title: Writing zero data
Inventor: JAMSHED JALAL
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 2020-08-24
Abstract: An interconnect 103 carries transactions between master devices 101, such as processors, and target or slave devices 105, such as memories. An all-zero-data write transaction causes a target device to set the storage locations 107 indicated in the transaction to zero. No data is transferred with the transaction. The transaction may be issued when the data processing circuitry performs a context switch. In this case, the address translation entry 108 for the locations may be invalidated at the same time. The storage locations may be identified by their memory addresses. The storage locations may be in a cache 110. There may be an all-zero-data write-unique transaction, which generates snoop operations on the interconnect, and an all-zero-data write-no-snoop transaction, which does not generate snoop operations.

Title: Mass spectrometer calibration
Inventor: RICHARD DENNY
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2020-08-28
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of processing mass spectral data to improve the calibration of the instrument. Direct calibration measurements are taken 301 to determine a calibration shift of the mass spectrometry instrument at calibration times and a set of intrinsic ion species are determined 302 that persist across multiple acquisition periods. The direct calibration measurements are then used together with an expected variation in calibration shift as well as the set of intrinsic ion species to calculate the calibration shift of the mass spectrometry instrument at one or more time points of interest other than the calibration time 306. This reduces the effect of multiple direct calibration measurements on the duty cycle of the instrument.

Title: Firing mechanism for a grenade and a grenade
Inventor: DUNCAN THOMAS
IPC: F42B27/08
Filed: 2020-12-07
Abstract: A grenade firing mechanism has a body defining an internal chamber 32 in which a firing pin structure is located. The firing pin structure is actuated by an inertia toggle 64 having a first end contained within the chamber 32 and a second end region 72 which projects from the body. A safety lever 16 (see figure 2) is releasably mounted to the second end region 72 of the inertia toggle 64 in an operative position to prevent the inertia toggle 64 moving to actuate the firing pin structure. A lever spring 104 is operative to eject the lever from the inertia toggle 64 to allow the firing pin structure to be actuated when the grenade is deployed. The lever carries an abutment pin 120 which extends through the body to engage the firing pin structure to inhibit the firing pin structure moving in a firing direction when the lever is in its operative position. The inertia toggle 64 may have a convex abutment surface which engages the firing pin structure.
Patent GB-2597818-A (GB)
Title: Driver circuitry
Inventor: Ross Crawford Morgan
IPC: H02P7/29
Filed: 2021-02-23
Abstract: A driver circuit includes digital circuitry 510 (for example a pulse-width modulation signal generator) configured to generate a digital output signal PWMOut, and monitoring circuitry 500 to monitor a supply voltage VBat and to control operation of the digital circuitry 510 based on the supply voltage VBat. Monitoring circuitry 500 includes a waveform generator 530 which outputs an increasing ramp voltage VRamp whose gradient is inversely proportional to the supply voltage VBat. Comparator 540 outputs a signal once VRamp reaches a reference voltage, and in turn logic circuitry 550 modifies input signal Sin to output Sin’. As VBat decreases, VRamp reaches threshold voltage sooner so that Sin’ causes digital circuitry 510 to generate wider pulses, to give constant pulse area (figure 4) and hence constant average voltage (or power) output. In other embodiments, monitoring circuitry 500 may use a timer (840) and digital signal based on VBat (830, figure 8), or a voltage-controlled oscillator (1030) and counter (1040, figure 10). The invention allows constant motor speed, constant LED brightness, etc. despite changing supply voltage due to a discharging battery or voltage transients in the supply.

Abstract: Obtaining 620 a down-going wavefield in a space-time domain from seismic data acquired by at least one receiver over a water-covered subsurface formation and estimating 630 a water-wave (a first arrival) in the space-domain. The method further includes deriving 640 a down-going annihilation operator using the down-going wavefield and the estimated water-wave and generating 650 an image of the water-covered subsurface formation based on the down-going annihilation operator. Deriving the operator may include transforming the down-going wavefield and the water-wave from the space-time domain to a plane-wave domain, calculating the operator using the plane-wave down-going wavefield and plane-wave estimated water-wave and transforming the operator from the plane-wave domain to the space-time domain. The operator may be compared with a unit-spike to derive a modified water-wave. The modified water-wave may be used to rederive the down-going annihilation operator. The operator may be calculated using a multi-dimensional deconvolution.
