Title: Method of and system for authenticating and operating personal communication devices over public safety networks
Inventor: REITSMA KATRIN
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2013-11-26
Abstract: A public safety (PS) person (10) having a PS communications device (12) is able to authenticate and authorize operation of a non- PS, personal communications device (14) over a PS network. The PS device (12) issues a challenge, and the personal device (14) responds to the challenge, when the devices are in close proximity. A conditional token having specified conditions is sent to the personal device (14), which captures information at an incident scene. The personal device (14) attaches the conditional token to the captured information, and uploads the captured information with the attached token to the PS device (12) to permit distribution of the captured information in accordance with the specified conditions of the attached conditional token.

Patent GB-2549927-A (GB)
Title: Circuit architecture
Inventor: Ben Fletcher
IPC: G06F15/78
Filed: 2016-04-25
Abstract: A System-on-Chip (SoC) uses state machine 6 as a lightweight controller in an always on power domain (AON) for dealing with incoming tasks. When a first signal or event is received, mapping portion 5 of memory 2 links the signal to a first function stored in memory 10, 12. The state machine executes the first function in response to the mapping. In dependence on the execution, the first signal is remapped to a second function such that the state machine executes the second function when receiving a subsequent first signal. This is desirable, for example, when running initialising instructions the first time an event occurs and only processing instructions afterwards. Re-mapping depends on the number of times the first functions is executed or is part of its execution. Large functions can also be broken into smaller ones avoiding blocking higher priority events. State machine 6 is a single-stage, single-thread instruction decoder.

Title: Vehicle winch control system and method of controlling a winch
Inventor: JEREMY GREENWOOD
IPC: B66D3/00
Filed: 2013-03-26
Abstract: A control system 110C to control winding speed of a winch 110 on a vehicle 100, the winch 110 having electric motor 116, so as to limit to a substantially constant prescribed winch line 114 tension or to a substantially constant prescribed value of torque applied to the drum 112. Winding speed may be dependent on or may match a speed of travel of the vehicle over a driving surface. Winding speed may be dependent on a speed of rotation of the vehicle powertrain, for instance wheel 102, 104 speed, and may be proportional to powertrain speed. The speed at which the vehicle 100 is pulled over-ground may be substantially equal to a speed at which the vehicle would be driven over ground if there an amount of wheel slip were less than a prescribed value. The prescribed value of winch cable 114 line tension may be selected through a user input device (figure 3). The system may limit, may apply a brake torque to the winch drum 112, which may effect regenerative braking, and may limit the rate of increase of torque applied to the drum 112 to the prescribed value. Power supply potential may be between 110V and 5kV. The vehicle may be electric or hybrid.
