Title: Systems and methods using active FTIR spectroscopy for detection of chemical targets
Inventor: DERRYCK TELFORD REID
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2019-04-26
Abstract: A Fourier-transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy system takes quantitative measurements of chemical target concentrations in an open-path measuring arrangement. Broadband IR light with wavelengths e.g. from 3.1-3.5 micrometres is generated, in embodiments using an optical parametric oscillator (OPO), and a calibration source e.g. a HeNe laser generates calibration light. These are received at for example a scanning Michelson interferometer and modulated, preferably at a scanning rate of 0.7 Hz – 10 Hz, before being launched into free space, possibly by a Newtonian telescope. The returned light is spectrally modulated by the chemical target, which is for instance methane or ethane or a chemical warfare agent (CWA). The launch path is substantially aligned with an optical axis of the receiving optics. Concentrations of the chemical targets are computed from spectra of the recorded interference fringes. The invention is eye-safe and capable of operating at sub-0.1cm-1 resolution, allowing simultaneous detection of multiple species.
Patent GB-2570257-A (GB)
Title: Connector for steel catenary risers
Inventor: JACK POLLACK
IPC: F16L37/62
Filed: 2017-10-18
Abstract: Methods that may be employed to help to equalize the length of the teeth on a pin-and-box SCR connector during make-up include locating the make-up groove on the box at the far box end away from the pipe end. This causes the make-up force to tension and stretch the box to make it longer. Additionally or alternatively placing grease or other fluid in the nib groove creates a resistance force to nib entry. The grease or fluid exits through a nib vent port in the box while creating a resistance that compresses the pin and stretches the box causing the tooth spacing of the pin and the box to be similar. Providing a ring groove at both ends of the box allows a tensioning device to be used to tension the box causing box elongation, which equalizes the tooth length of pin and box members during connector make up.

Patent GB-2589916-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus, method and computer program
Inventor: JUSSI-PEKKA KOSKINEN
IPC: H04W76/30
Filed: 2019-12-13
Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives an indication from a network to operate in an inactive state and a criterion related to the inactive state. In response to the criterion being met, the UE performs one or more actions. The criterion may be expiry of a timer, and the action performed may be the UE transitioning to an RRC IDLE state. The action may be providing INACTIVE behaviour information to the network such as time in INACTIVE, a UE request to stay in INACTIVE because it assumes uplink data soon or statistics on previous INACTIVE state times. The network can determine the priority of the UE being in the IDLE state and may send an RRC release without INACTIVE configuration so that the UE goes into IDLE. The invention allows the network to select which UEs should be in RRC INACTIVE state and which UEs should transition to RRC IDLE based on information from the UEs of the time spent in RRC INACTIVE.

Title: Data integrity check for granule protection data
Inventor: JASON PARKER
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2020-04-14
Abstract: A data processing system has address translation circuitry to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses. A memory granule protection data block contains entries which specify access control information for physical addresses. When an address for a memory access is translated from a virtual to a physical address, then the information in the entry is used to determine whether the access is allowed. The integrity of the data block is checked. If one entry in the block is found to be invalid, then the whole block may be treated as invalid. The integrity check may check if the individual entries have valid values or may use a cryptographic signature. The entries may allow access to physical memory addresses based on the domain of the requestor. If the integrity check fails a fault may be signaled. A different fault may be signaled if the check passes but the access is not allowed.
