Title: Wearable assembly, system and method
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN LYNCH
IPC: G06K19/077
Filed: 2020-09-10
Abstract: Method of associating an electronics module 4 with a wearable item 1 (e.g. a garment) by: reading an electronics module identifier; reading a non-visible wearable item identifier 500; and associating the electronics module identifier with the wearable article identifier. The wearable article identifier may be a machine-readable infra-red reflective pattern (500 fig.5). Reading the non-visible identifier may involve illuminating it with infrared (IR) light and detecting a reflected signal. A wearable article identifier may be obtained and used to identify an associated electronics module identifier. Activity data from the identified electronics module may then be accessed and displayed, e.g. in an augmented reality display. The electronics module identifier and wearable article identifier may be transmitted to an external apparatus, e.g. a mobile phone 400 or server 200 (S504, Fig. 12). The electronics module identifier and associated activity data may be received by a user device via an external apparatus on request (S508, S509 fig.12). The method may be performed using separate readers for each of the electronics module identifier and the non-visible garment identifier, and a controller for associating the identifiers.

Title: Liquid ring pump control
Inventor: ANDRIES DANIEL JOZEF DE BOCK
IPC: F04C7/00
Filed: 2020-09-21
Abstract: A system and control method comprises a liquid ring pump 10 with a chamber (102, Fig 2), suction inlet, exhaust outlet and an operating liquid inlet. A gas line 36 with a valve 8 is coupled to the liquid ring pump. A first sensor 81 measures a first parameter of inlet fluid and a second sensor 82 measures a second parameter of either operating liquid, exhaust fluid, or a fluid within the chamber. A controller 20 determines a vapour pressure of the operating liquid using the second parameter and controls operation of the valve, based on the first parameter and the vapour pressure. The first parameter may be pressure and the second temperature. The controller may determine the vapour pressure of the operating liquid using the Antoine formula. The controller preferably compares the measurement of the first parameter and the vapour pressure to control the operation of the valve. The controller may determine a difference between the first parameter and the determined vapour pressure, and control the valve based on the difference and / or compare the difference to a threshold value. A non-return valve may be disposed in a line coupled to the suction inlet.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and computer programs for audio focusing, particularly in mobile devices, to distinguish between target sources 207 and unwanted noise sources 209 when they are close together or in a similar direction. The apparatus comprises means for providing a plurality of beams 601 for processing microphone audio signals, along with means for analysing the plurality of beams to determine one or more parameter values such as energy or noise levels, based on the microphone audio signals in a plurality of different frequency bands. At least one of the plurality of beams is selected for use based on the determined one or more parameter values in the plurality of different frequency bands, such that different beams can be selected for different frequency bands. The parameter values may give an indication of whether a target sound source is within a beam. For frequency bands with a beam width above an angular threshold the beam with the lowest energy level may be selected, and conversely the beam with the highest energy level may be selected for frequency bands with a beam width below an angular threshold.

Title: Ghost point filtering
Inventor: YU PAN
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2021-02-16
Abstract: Techniques are described for obtaining a range image related to a depth sensor of a vehicle operating in an environment and for the removal of “ghost points” from such data. A first data point is identified in the range image with an intensity at or below a first intensity threshold. A first number of data points are determined in the range image that have an intensity at or above a second intensity threshold in a first region of the range image. Then, it is determined whether the first number of data points is at or above a region number threshold. The first data point is removed from the range image if the first number of data points is at or above the region number threshold. Operation of the vehicle is then facilitated in the environment based at least in part on the range image. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

Title: Algorithm for secure communications using symmetric keys
Inventor: RAVISANKAR JAKKULA
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2022-10-20
Abstract: A system for a server 102 and a client 104 to establish encrypted communication. At step 1 the client sends a ‘hello’ message to the server. At steps 2-4 the server validates the client and sends an integrity check image which the client stores in RAM. At step 5 the client suspends application code that is running and instead executes an integrity check using instructions from the integrity check image held in RAM. At steps 6-7 the client validates the application image that the client executes, and if successful, the client sends a hash and a temporary key to the server. At step 8 the server verifies the hash by comparing it with a hash it has calculated for the client application image. At step 10, if the verification is successful, the server sends an encryption key to the client to be used for symmetric encryption between the client and the server. At step 12 the client resumes executing the application code. If the integrity check fails, the server may erase the client application image and send a replacement application image. If the hash verification fails at step 9, the server may terminate further communication with the client device.
