Title: System for decomposing events from managed infrastructures that includes a reference tool signalizer
Inventor: PHILIP TEE
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2018-06-11
Abstract: An event clustering system 10 comprising an extraction engine and signalizer engine. The extraction engine 12 receives messages from a managed infrastructure 14 and produces events relating to the managed infrastructure. The events are converted into words and subtexts used to group the events into clusters relating to failures or errors in the managed infrastructure physical hardware. The managed infrastructure supports the flow and processing of information and includes physical hardware. The signalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the managed infrastructure. Membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or actionable problem in the physical hardware. In response to production of the clusters of events one or more physical changes in the managed infrastructure hardware is made. A reference tool signalizer (‘cookbook’) may also be involved which provides for a decomposition of events. A factor may include: alert frequency or temporal proximity; event temporal proximity; trigger; or recipe creation/editing controlling which events or alerts are clustered into ‘situations’. A subset of monitored events (reference tool ‘recipe’) may be analyzed using a specific feature detection algorithm.

Patent GB-2581842-A (GB)
Title: Mesh communication network provision
Inventor: ROBERT GRANT
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2019-03-01
Abstract: A method of provisioning mesh communication networks involves simulating the performance of a proposed network design to ensure the design meets service level criteria before provisioning the network. Such simulations are required to be comprehensive because highly improbable events can be sufficient to result in a mesh network not meeting stringent performance criteria. Known methods of provisioning rely on exhaustively listing the network states which would adversely impact the service offered by a proposed design as part of simulating its performance; this is an error prone exercise since relevant network states can be missed. A simulation technique is proposed in which the network state after each event is represented by a weighted graph indicating a measure of path cost for each of the links in the mesh network. A graph searching algorithm is applied to seek a path across the graph, thereby systematically exploring paths which could provide a suitable route for the service in the simulated network state represented in the graph. The graph is iteratively adjusted to represent failures and corresponding repairs to nodes and/or links and the availability of the service is evaluated across the iterations. Networks are provisioned which meet stringent performance criteria without being over-engineered.
Patent GB-2584154-A (GB)
Title: Knowledge proof
Inventor: DANIEL JOSEPH
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2019-05-24
Abstract: At least one proof transaction for recording on a blockchain comprises at least an s-part for an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm, ECDSA, signature. The s-part is computed from a set of signature components, each provided by a participant of a signing subset of a set of keyshare participants. Each of keyshare participant holds an ephemeral keyshare of an unknown ephemeral key, and each of the signing components is provided by the participant of the signing subset based on their ephemeral keyshare. The at least one proof transaction indicates an r-challenge of at least one challenge transaction, and a node of a blockchain network applies signature verification to: (i) the s-part of the at least one proof transaction, and (ii) one of: (iia) an r-part of the r-challenge, (iib) an r-part of the at least one proof transaction, and in that event checks that that r-part satisfies the r-challenge. This provides an alternative to a conventional hash puzzle which does not require participants to share their ephemeral keyshares. Because the r-part of a signature is not linked to any identity within the system, this means that any signing subset can meet the proof.

Title: A method of controlling a brushless permanent magnet motor
Inventor: MATE HORVAT
IPC: H02P21/24
Filed: 2021-02-25
Abstract: A brushless permanent magnet motor has a plurality of phase windings and an inverter for applying voltage vectors to the plurality of the phase windings. A phase current flowing through a first phase winding is monitored to determine a zero-crossing point of the phase current flowing through the first phase winding. A polarity of phase current flowing through a second phase winding is predicted based on the determined zero-crossing point of the phase current flowing through the first phase winding. A timing of a control signal to control switches of the inverter to apply a voltage vector to the phase windings is determined. The timing of the control signal is determined using the predicted polarity of phase current flowing through the second phase winding. The inverter may comprise a plurality of high side switches and a plurality of low side switches, and the timing of the control signal is determined based on whether a transition from a low side switch to a high side switch, or from a high side switch to a low side switch, is required to apply the voltage vector to the phase windings.
