Title: Automated detection of flaws and incompatibility problems in information flow downgraders
Inventor: TRIPP OMER
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2012-07-27
Abstract: Mechanisms for evaluating downgrader code in application code with regard to a target deployment environment. Downgrader code in the application code is identified. Based on an input string, an output string that the downgrader code outputs in response to receiving the input string is identified. One or more sets of illegal string patterns are retrieved. Each of the one or more sets of illegal string patterns is associated with a corresponding deployment environment. The illegal string patterns are string patterns that a downgrader identifies in the information flow for security purposes. A determination is made as to whether the downgrader code is compatible with the target deployment environment based on the one or more sets of illegal string patterns and the output string. An output indicative of the results of the determining is generated.

Title: Self Correcting gas camera
Inventor: HUTTON ROGER
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2014-05-01
Abstract: An imaging device for use in gas detection comprising a thermographic camera and a sensor for measuring temperature. The device is configured to generate a first thermal image of radiation of a first location using the camera, measure an ambient temperature of the location using the sensor and calculate a first value based on the temperature of a first portion of the first image and the measured ambient temperature. The first value of the first portion of the first image is compared to a predetermined value indicative of a detection limit of the camera and a level of confidence is assigned to a first area of the location corresponding to the first portion of the first image based on the comparison. In this way unreliable gas detections can be identified and taken into account. The first value may be the difference between the ambient temperature and the image temperature.

Title: Valve assembly
Inventor: NASR GHASEM
IPC: B65D83/48
Filed: 2014-06-03
Abstract: A valve assembly 200, particularly for use in an aerosol spray device, includes a housing 202 with an internally projecting lip 226 that seals against an outer surface of a valve stem 220 inserted through it. A gas inlet 234a is provided above the lip and a liquid inlet 212 is provided below the lip. The lip thus ensures that a gas flow path and a liquid flow path are kept separate until the valve stem is moved to an open position, at which point a liquid inlet hole 284 in the stem is brought into communication with the liquid inlet 212 in the housing and a gas inlet hole 286 in the stem is brought into communication with the gas inlet 234a in the housing for the fluids mix in an outlet conduit (280, fig. 4b) in the stem. The arrangement means that there is no contact between the liquid and a sealing gasket (260), thereby avoiding swelling of the gasket that can cause the stem to stick.
