Patent GB-2556186-A (GB)
Title: Fail functional automated driving
Inventor: ERIC SHE
IPC: H04L45/125
Filed: 2017-09-21
Abstract: A network in a vehicle has nodes (e.g. primary/secondary powertrain/steering/brake) connected by various links, see Fig. 1. The invention measures 505 the speed of each link (possibly expressed in milliseconds, see. Fig. 3) and puts it in a table. It calculates the cost of each path between two nodes by adding up the speeds from the table. The fastest link with the lowest cumulative speed is selected for communication between the nodes 530,535,540,545. Speed may be based on data rate and link load and may be measured and updated periodically. In the event of a network node/link failure 515 the new fastest/lowest cost path is determined for the updated network topology.

Title: Compensated line length estimation
Inventor: Edmund Kirkham
IPC: H04B3/46
Filed: 2016-02-26
Abstract: Proposed is a method of estimating a compensated length of a telephone line that takes into account the effects of additional equipment, typically at the exchange, on the capacitance measures used to determine the line length. A linear model is used to represent the relationship between capacitance and line length for a set of lines offering the same service, such as ADSL2+. The gradient and offset determined from the model can be used to adjust capacitance measures from a test tine, to give an estimate of a compensated line length associated with that test line. The compensated line length is extremely useful, as it is more likely to mirror the actual line length and can serve as the basis for other calculations such as estimating of potential sync rates for DSL lines, and estimating of distance to faults.

Title: Encrypting plaintext or decrypting ciphertext
Inventor: ADAM DUNKLEY
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2018-11-05
Abstract: A device and method to encrypt a plaintext string 10. A substitution number, S, and a repositioning number, R, having a numerical relationship are generated, 15, for each portion 10a-c of the plaintext string. A temporary intermediate string, 12, is formed by scrambling the plaintext string using R to rearrange, 17, each piece of the plaintext string. A ciphertext string, 11, is formed from the intermediate string by encoding, 19, each part of the intermediate string using the S number associated with the relevant portion. The same process is reversed to decrypt a ciphertext string to plaintext. An initial S value may be obtained from a cryptographic key, 1, and subsequent S values by applying a modifying algorithm. R may be obtained by applying a trigonometric or inverse trigonometric function to S. The S number may be used to define a substitution cipher that is to be applied to the each portion of the intermediate string and a polyalphabetic cipher table may be built up. The advantage of the invention is that fewer pseudorandom numbers need to be generated and the likelihood of cracking by mechanisms such as frequency analysis or identification of repeated patterns is reduced.
