Title: Detecting physiological responses using thermal and visible-light head-mounted cameras
Inventor: Arie Tzvieli
IPC: A61B5/01
Filed: 2017-10-02
Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure involve head-mounted systems that are utilized to take thermal measurements of a user's face to detect various physiological responses, such as an allergic reaction, stress, a headache, a stroke, to name a few. Typically, these systems involve one or more head-mounted thermal cameras that may be physically coupled to a frame worn on the user's head and are utilized to take thermal measurements of one or more regions of interest (ROIs). Some of the systems described in this disclosure are intended for "real world", uncontrolled day-to-day use, in which detection of the physiological response may be hampered by "confounding factors". A confounding factor can be a cause of warming and/or cooling of certain ROIs the face, which is unrelated to a physiological response being detected, and as such, can reduce the accuracy of the detection of the physiological response.

Title: Data masking
Inventor: ANJA LEHMANN
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2018-01-02
Abstract: Data masking is provided by, for at least one predetermined data item in data to be sent, applying a one-way function to that data item to produce a first value, producing a masked data item by encrypting the first value via a deterministic encryption scheme using a current encryption key for a current epoch, and replacing that data item by the masked data item. A data-provider computer sends the masked data to the data-user computer. On expiry of the current epoch, the data-provider computer generates a new encryption key for the encryption scheme in a new epoch, produces mask-update data, dependent on the current and new encryption keys, and sends the mask-update data to the data-user computer. The mask-update data permits updating, at the data-user computer, of masked data items produced with the current encryption key into masked data items produced with the new encryption key.

IPC: H01M50/581
Filed: 2019-11-05
Abstract: A battery pack 112 comprises a housing 114 defining a cavity 116, at least one pouch cell 200a-e within the cavity, and an electrical connection 124, (324, figure 3) between the pouch cell 200a, (300a, figure 3) and at least one of a further pouch cell (300b, figure 3) of the battery pack, or another electrical component 122a. The electrical connection is configured to be severed by a movement of the pouch cell, relative to a surface of the housing within the cavity, which satisfies a predetermined condition. The electrical connection may comprise a rigid electrode which is broken under tension caused by swelling of at least one of the pouch cells. In a further example, an electrical connection (524, figure 5) may be severed by movement of the electrical connection caused by swelling of the pouch cell so that it contacts a cutting element (132, figure 5).

Abstract: A method of selecting components, that traverse an incline such as a stairway (2000 fig.2) or an outside slope (1305 fig.13), includes acquiring measurement information about one or more physical dimensions of an incline S1202. The measurement device 1000, such as a PC, or a mobile device (4004 fig.4), which may be a laser or camera based device operated by the homeowner or a skilled surveyor, records live or still images and the data may be sent to a remote device such as a server. A 3-D or 2-D model of the incline is generated based on the measurement information S1204 and the model is confirmed by overlaying the model upon the incline S1206. This may be displayed to a user on the measurement device or performed internally without user intervention. However, if the error between the model and actual dimensions are greater than a predetermined offset (delta fig.7) then model corrections or repeat measurements may be required. When the model is verified a kit of parts for the incline, which may include a stairlift rail, is selected from a predetermined set of components.
