Title: Observation-resistant authentication method using finger pressure determination
Inventor: DUNPHY PAUL MICHAEL
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2010-01-11
Abstract: Observation-resistant authentication methods are likely to become increasingly important, as situated computing technologies such as tabletop interfaces and public displays become habitual. The method includes the user placing the fingers of both hands on a multi-touch surface substantially perpendicularly to each other. A grid is defined by the fingers, the grid containing a number of cells each containing an object. The method further includes the user communicating the coordinate of an object (x,y) by increasing pressure on fingers (x,y) on the edge of the grid. The multi-touch surface records this increased pressure and maps the coordinates to the object in the grid. This is repeated until the user has identified all objects in their authentication sequence and access can then be allowed or denied. The location of the objects in the grid can be varied after each input. Not all five fingers on each hand may be used. The authentication method is particularly resistant to shoulder-surfing.

Patent GB-2509751-A (GB)
Title: Temperature controlled valve
Inventor: MILLER MARK KENNETH
IPC: E03B7/10
Filed: 2013-01-14
Abstract: A controller opens or closes a valve in response to the ambient temperature crossing a threshold value, for example to prevent the continued supply of water to pipes that might have frozen and burst. An output shaft 4 acts on a stem of the valve to rotate it between the open and closed positions. A clock spring 8 biases the output shaft towards one of those positions but is restrained by a latch 28 until a thermal actuator 30 operates mechanically to release the latch in response to a change in temperature. The latch may be a pawl 28 acting on a ratchet gear 22 that allows the output shaft 4 to rotate in one direction but not the other. The ratchet gear 22 may be mounted on an input shaft 14, which is connected to the output shaft 4 through a gear train (16-19, Fig. 2) to give a mechanical advantage when turning the output shaft 4 against the force of the spring 8.
