Title: Brain correlates of deception and criminal behaviour
Inventor: SILBERSTEIN RICHARD BERNARD
IPC: A61B5/16
Filed: 2007-12-17
Abstract: A method of detecting an untrue or deceptive response of a participant to a cognitive task, the method including the steps of: presenting to the participant a group of cognitive tasks including control tasks and test tasks; detecting brain response signals from the participant during presentation of the group of cognitive tasks; calculating SSVEP amplitude, phase and/or coherence from the brain response signals; comparing SSVEP amplitude, phase and/or coherence from the controlled tasks to SSVEP amplitude, phase and/or coherence from the test tasks; and determining that the subject is giving an untrue or deceptive response if there is a predetermined change in SSVEP amplitude, phase or coherence associated with the test tasks.

Title: Spoken language proficiency assessment by computer
Inventor: NAIR ANISH
IPC: G09B7/02
Filed: 2008-01-30
Abstract: A system and method for spoken language proficiency assessment by a computer is described. A user provides a spoken response to a constructed response question. A speech recognition system processes the spoken response into a sequence of linguistic units. At training time, features matching a linguistic template are extracted by identifying matches between a training sequence of linguistic units and pre-selected templates. Additionally, a generalized count of the extracted features is computed. At runtime, linguistic features are detected by comparing a runtime sequence of linguistic units to the feature set extracted at training time. This comparison results in a generalized count of linguistic features. The generalized count is then used to compute a score.

Title: Batch verification of multiple signature data
Inventor: HAKUTA KEISUKE
IPC: G06F21/24
Filed: 2008-03-13
Abstract: This invention is concerned with providing highly secure and highly efficient batch verification of multiple signature data. A mathematical function computing part replaces an order of a multiple batch instances, specifies a number corresponding to the replaced order, and carries out verification based on whether or not a value calculated by carrying out a modular exponentiation of a generator of a finite cyclic group, with a multiplied value, obtained by multiplying a first value of a batch instance by a number corresponding to the order, as an exponent, and a value calculated by carrying out a modular exponentiation of a second value of the batch instance, with a number corresponding to the order as an exponent, are in agreement. In an alternative embodiment, scalar multiplication is used in place of modular exponentiation.

Title: Controlled translocation of a polymer in an electrolytic sensing system
Inventor: HIBBS ANDREW D
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2007-08-17
Abstract: An electrolytic sensing system (1) for measuring a blocking signal allows for controlled translocation of a molecule (18), such as DNA (18'), through a fluid channel (16, 16'). A substantially constant electric field supplied by a DC source (23) is applied across the fluid channel (16, 16') and induces translocation of the molecule (18) within the system (1). An oscillating electric parameter (e.g. current or voltage) supplied by an AC source (22,22') is also applied across the fluid channel (16, 16') as a means for measuring a blocking signal. The substantially constant electric field can be altered to provide more detailed control of the molecule (18) and, optionally, run a select portion of the molecule (18) through the channel (16, 16') multiple times to provide numerous signal readings. A temperature control stage (14) cools the system, providing further control of molecule translocation. A modified or non-modified protein pore (38) may be utilized in the fluid channel (16, 16'). The system allows for long DNA (181) strands to be sequenced quickly without amplification.

Title: Observing an internal link of an MCP via an external link
Inventor: ISLAM SYED
IPC: G01R31/3185
Filed: 2009-08-10
Abstract: A multichip package (MCP) 100 includes first 110 and second 170 dies able to communicate via an intra-package link 165. First die 110 is also able to communicate with an external link 195. Test controller 140 is able to select intra-package data to transmit via the external link, enabling the internal link in the MCP to be observed externally. The MCP thus requires fewer external connections. A method includes selecting first data received in the first die of the MCP from the second die via the intra-package link for output from a selector during a first clock period of a first clock signal, selecting second data transmitted from the second die to the first die for output from the selector during a second clock period, and transmitting the first and second data from the MCP via the external link.

Abstract: 1497236 Colour television ELECTROCHROME Ltd 12 March 1976 10109/76 Heading H4F A delay line PAL system receiver is converted to a simple PAL system receiver, so that phase errors can be detected by observing differences in the colours of adjacent lines on the C.R.T. display screen of the receiver, by selectively rendering the delay line channel of the receiver incapable of passing the chrominance signal, e.g. by shortcircuiting this channel using a transistor switch TR3. As shown the chrominance output of buffer 10 is fed via an amplifier TR2 to delay line channel 14 and via the non-delayed channel to the centre tap of coil L2, the signals Œ V being derived at terminal 15 and the signal U at terminal 16. In the delay line mode contact 11 is engaged with fixed contact 12. To observe any phase errors contact 11 is moved to contact 13 so that transistor TR3 shorts out coil L1 and thereby inhibits delay line channel 14.
