Title: System and method for determining product perishability
Inventor: MICHAEL LAWERANCE PAYNE
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2018-01-12
Abstract: An average spoilage temperature for a product is obtained. The average spoilage temperature is the temperature when the product becomes not viable for customer use. In real-time, the current temperature of the retail store in which the product resides is measured. In real-time, a perishability time for the product is calculated using the average spoilage temperature of the product, and the current temperature of the retail store. In real-time, the location of the product and the time since the product has left a first shelf are tracked. The first shelf is a location where a shelf temperature is maintained to adequately preserve the product. In real-time, the perishability time is compared to the time since the product has left the first shelf. When the time since the product has left the first shelf exceeds the perishability time, an action is taken.

Title: Copying and forwarding for concurrent copying garbage collection
Inventor: Charles Robert Gracie
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2018-11-16
Abstract: An approach for optimizing a copying of a data object in a concurrent copying garbage collection operation is provided. In an embodiment, a source copy of the data object to be copied as part of the garbage collection operation is identified. A copying of the source copy to a target location is initiated by a primary accessing thread. This initiating of the copying includes the creation of a temporary target object header for the target object in the target location that contains an indicator set to indicate that the copying is ongoing. As the copying is occurring, the execution of any other accessing threads that are attempting to use the data object are held for as long as the indicator indicates that the copying is ongoing. Once the copying has completed, the target object header is replaced with a copy of the source object header, resetting the indicator.

Title: Identifying denial-of-service attacks
Inventor: Michaella Pettit
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2020-10-28
Abstract: A first participant 102a in a threshold signature scheme holds a share in two shared secrets. A target public key is calculated, based on a target value calculated using the first participant’s target share and a first predetermined amount of target shares calculated by other participants (102b,c), where the first participant’s target share is calculated based on their shares of both first and second shared secrets (and used to calculate a share of a threshold signature). Denial of service (DOS) is determined based on whether the target public key matches a verification public key calculated using the first participant’s verification share and a second predetermined amount of verification shares calculated by other participants, where the first participant’s verification share is calculated based on their share of the first secret and a public key of the second shared secret. A joint verification random secret sharing scheme (JVRSS) may be performed.

IPC: G07C5/08
Filed: 2020-11-27
Abstract: A system for monitoring a reliability of a component of an asset comprises receiving input data, which includes performance data relating to the component, configuration data relating to the component, and statistical data relating to a plurality of assets. The system provides a pre-emptive recommendation for the component based on the input data, such as a workscope or a list of sub-components to replace. The component or the asset may be an engine or jet engine. Statistical data may include a Weibull distribution, probabilistic models and trend analytics. Input data may also include engine build configuration and utilisation history. Also, a system using similar inputs monitors a reliability of a subset of assets of a fleet of assets where the performance data and configuration data relate to a set of components from assets in the subset of assets. The recommendation could include an indication of whether a group of engines may successfully complete a deployment of a specified duration. A further system uses similar inputs related to a fleet of assets to monitor a reliability of the fleet of assets. The recommendation may indicate which asset of a fleet of assets, which may be engines, is best suited for deployment.

Title: Well plate insert
Inventor: YONGGANG JIANG
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2021-02-18
Abstract: An insert 100 to be used with a multi-well plate which has a number of wells 130, the insert comprising a plurality of protrusions 120 with each protrusion having a distal surface configured to face an end surface of a corresponding wells when the protrusion is inserted into an opening of the well wherein when the protrusion is inserted into the well, at least some contents of the well is displaced away from the distal surface and along a side surface of the protrusion and the distal surface of each protrusion is opaque and is non-auto fluorescent. Ideally, the well content comprises a mixture of target molecules and fluorescent tag molecules wherein some of the tags are bound to target molecules, and some are unbound and free floating. In use, the insert displaces free floating fluorescent tag molecules and unanchored target molecules to which a tag is bound such that when fluorescence imaging is taken at the bottom of the well, the free floating tags are less likely to be imaged and so background noise in the image is reduced. The protrusions may comprise several pimples or projections (fig 3) or be formed of an absorbent material (fig 7).
