Title: A sensor array for checking the pressure of a vehicle tyre
Inventor: ROSE PETER NORMAN
IPC: B60C23/00
Filed: 2011-08-22
Abstract: A sensor array (13) for checking the pressure of a vehicle tyre whilst being moved over the array comprises two sets (14) and (19) of aligned, facing sensor members. The first set (14) of sensor members is formed by slits (15) cut into a plate of metal to form first fingers (16) connected in cantilevered fashion to a first base portion (17), which extend in the direction of intended vehicle movement to free ends (18). The second set (19) of sensor members is formed by slits (20) cut into a plate of metal to form second fingers (21) connected in cantilevered fashion to a second base portion (22), which extend in the reverse of the direction of intended vehicle movement to free ends (23). The fingers of the two sets are aligned and the free ends (18) and (23) are closely adjacent. Each finger is provided with a load sensing system (28, 29) which provides an indication of the load on the finger as the tyre moves over the finger. Loads are applied to different positions along the fingers as the tyre moves over the array. The sensitivity of the array increases from a minimum for a load applied where the first fingers (16) are attached to the first base portion (17), to a maximum adjacent the free ends (18, 23) of the first and second fingers (16) and (21), and then decreases to a minimum where the second fingers (21) are attached to the second base portion (22).

Title: Data acquisition modes for ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometry
Inventor: UGAROV MICHAEL
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2012-11-07
Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for acquiring spectrometric data from analyte ions implement a combination of drift-type ion mobility separation (IMS) and time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry. Preferably, injection of ions into both the IMS 108 & TOF analyzer 114 is multiplexed such that at least two ion packets are present in each device at the same time. Both separation techniques are carried out in tandem while applying mass filtering with a wide window of ion isolation so as to avoid any overlap between sequential ion packets in the TOF analyzer. One mode of operation entails utilizing a mass filter 112 to limit ion packets to ions in a selected m/z range that remains constant over the entire course of data acquisition. Another mode entails utilizing the mass filter 112 to limit ion packets to an m/z range that varies over the course of data acquisition. Alternatively, a mass range may be selected using, for example, a Bradbury-Neilson (B/N) gate (112, Figure 6) located within the flight region of the TOF mass analyser (114).

Abstract: A method of controlling the movement of a virtual camera whose image plane provides a cut-out 300 from a captured image of a scene is disclosed. A cut out boundary 300 is defined, possibly as an equiangular quadrilateral, defining a set of first pixel positions forming the boundary of the cut-out of the captured image, a set of second pixel positions for the boundary of the captured image is then defined and a virtual camera rotation matrix to be applied to the firstpixel positions is calculated. The virtual camera rotation matrix represents the difference in at least one of the yaw and pitch of the image plane of the virtual camera and the image plane of the captured image of the scene and is limited such that when one of the set of first pixel positions is transformed using the virtual camera rotation matrix, the transformed first pixel position is located within the boundary of the captured image. Furthermore a damping coefficient may be applied to the movement of the virtual camera wherein the position of the virtual camera is moved towards a target position at a rate determined by said coefficient.

Title: Data protection in a cloud service
Inventor: PEARL ANNIE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-07-18
Abstract: In cloud platforms, such as enterprise collaboration workspaces, data loss prevention (DLP) is performed by comparing contents of a file with rules, determining whether a rule is triggered (102), and performing a responsive action (103). A service level agreement can also be updated (104). A rule can be triggered after a character based search of sensitive or confidential information: financial information, credit card and bank account numbers, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Social Security Number (SSN), health information, source code. A responsive action comprises quarantine, notifying an administrator, locking down the file, suppressing notifications to users, email alerts. Competing uploads can reconcile quarantined drafts with collaborators revision by branching separate storage of a quarantined version and a version where violated content is removed. An automation interface allows administrators to configure rules (101), modify upload, download, sharing policies, and create new policies to prevent disclosure of sensitive information in the collaboration process.

Title: Running software application with dynamic action delegation
Inventor: PICHETTI LUIGI
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2013-07-31
Abstract: A first component of a first computer system, such as a wireless mobile device, registers that it can execute various actions requested by applications running on the system. The actions may be sensing a physical quantity or running a background service. When a request to execute an action is received, the component determines whether the action should be executed by a local component or a remote component. The remote component may be on a further mobile device near the first computer system or it may be a remote computer provided by a network service. The first component executes the action on a remote component if there is no local component capable of executing the action. If there are suitable local and remote components, the choice may be based on a metric, such as battery level, network bandwidth, processor usage or memory usage.
