Title: Blockchain (ML) Technology
Inventor: STEPHEN MOLLAH
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2017-02-09
Abstract: Blockchain is a distributed financial data structure ledger engine. It allows peer-to-peer electronic currency transactions and data mining as sets of codes that represent e-currency. The system creates a hash value for a prior transaction, and combines the hash value, transaction data and the public key of a transaction. It mines data and formats it with a hash-based proof-of-work mechanism with an algorithm that makes combinations of digits to form a digital code that represents e-currency. It broadcasts the data or transaction codes to peers with a time-stamp, assists a subset of peers to collect electronic codes to form a transaction block, and helps each participant in the subset to create a solution to a proof-of-work problem for its transaction block. It manages all participants in the subset, broadcasting their transaction blocks and the solution to all participants. It obtains a valid consensus that a transaction block is valid, and accepts and adds that transaction block to the existing chain of blocks. It manages the digital wallet and helps peers to make transactions over the Internet or telecommunication channels. It keeps the data in its ledger permanently for verification.

IPC: B60H1/24
Filed: 2017-11-14
Abstract: Ventilation system for a vehicle cabin 22, comprises: a duct 30 extending around the perimeter of the cabin 22; an airflow inducer such as a fan 31; and an opening 34 extending around the perimeter to receive and expel air from the duct 30. A second opening 38 around the perimeter of the cabin draws air from the vehicle cabin into a system passage (52, fig 7) extending about the perimeter, where air flow from the first opening 34 entrains the flow from the second opening 38. The first opening 34 can be formed into a nozzle to accelerate air flow (fig 7). The duct 30 can be formed as part of the vehicle trim (fig 3), behind the trim (fig 4), associated with a structure displaced from the trim to form the system passage 52 (fig 7), or within the displaced structure (fig 8). The duct 30 can have varying cross-sectional area, reducing away from the air source to maintain constant pressure (fig 13). The duct can be split into multiple zones with multiple air flow inducers and valves separating the zones (figs 10, 11). Heating and cooling elements such as air conditioning can be provided in the ducts 30.

Title: Cancellation of interference and harmonics
Inventor: GARY DENT
IPC: H04B1/12
Filed: 2018-08-24
Abstract: Cancellation circuitry receives, at a first antenna A3, a first signal comprising an interference component and a desired component and receives, at a second antenna A1, a signal comprising an interference component A1. The interference component in the second signal is stronger than that the interference component in the first signal. A cancellation signal is derived from the second signal, e.g. by adjusting, r31, amplitude or/and phase of the cancellation signal. An output signal S3 is generated by subtracting the cancellation signal from the first signal. In another embodiment, the first signal includes an interference component at a harmonic multiple of a fundamental frequency at which the interference is generated. In this case, the second signal includes an interference component at the fundamental frequency. When the interference is harmonic, a single antenna (302, Fig. 7) is sufficient because the first and second signals may be passed through band filters (310, 320, Fig 7) with different frequencies. An application is aircraft-to-ground communications (ATG), which are affected by interference from pulsed air traffic control (ATC) signals.

Title: System and method for testing the quality of a communication channel in a telecommunication network
Inventor: TERENCE SIMPSON
IPC: H04M3/22
Filed: 2019-02-26
Abstract: To test a telecommunications network, a call is established over the network, and a reference signal transmitted and recorded at the receiving end. The recording is used to create a degraded file which may be compared to the original signal. The recording begins before the start of the reference signal and ends after signal transmission is complete. The start or end times of the reference signal transmission and the recording are recorded using a common timing reference. The transmission and reception end points may be at a common testing unit (124, fig. 1) and the times may be recorded using a single clock. Alternatively, the end points may be at separate units 124A 124B and the times recorded using respective synchronised clocks. The clocks may be GPS clocks or may be synchronised using a network based protocol. In creating the degraded file, the portions of the recording made before and after the reception of the signal may be removed. The reference signal may be voice data.

Title: Improvements in or relating to stairlifts
Inventor: PAUL ALEXANDER COOK
IPC: B66B9/08
Filed: 2019-07-09
Abstract: A stairlift 5 has a carriage 7 and a safety edge, also known as a movable pad, which may be incorporated into the foot support 18 and under tray 19 assembly. An electro-magnetic sensing facility, possibly a Hall effect device (23 fig.3A) and a magnet (24 fig.3A) senses displacement of the safety edge relative to the carriage. There may be several safety edges and the direction of displacement in x, y and z directions may be determined. The stairlift may include a control unit 17 which receives the sensor signals and controls a drive motor 13 to stop when the safety edges are displaced such as when an obstacle is encountered. When the stairlift is required to move around a curved path (30 fig.4A) the sensor input to the control unit may be swapped from the leading edge (32a fig.4A) to the trailing edge (32b fig.4A) or vice versa depending on the direction of travel.

Title: Variable position shift for matrix processing
Inventor: DAVID HENNAH MANSELL
IPC: G06F17/16
Filed: 2020-05-13
Abstract: An apparatus has matrix processing circuitry to perform a matrix processing operation, e.g. an outer product operation, on first and second input operands, preferably one dimensional vector operands, to generate a 2D result matrix; operand storage circuitry to store information for forming the first and second input operands for the matrix processing circuitry; and position shifting circuitry to apply a variable position shift to vary which row/column of the result matrix is updated based on a given element of one of the first and second input operands stored in the operand storage circuitry during a given matrix processing operation.
