Title: Unauthorised/Malicious redirection
Inventor: NIEMELA JARNO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2013-12-09
Abstract: Method(s) and apparatus are described for use in preventing unauthorised redirection and/or routing of packets transmitted in a communication network. Packets generated by one or more devices in a communications network are intercepted and packet header and protocol data is inspected to determine the originally intended destination of the packet and any other destination(s) associated with redirection of the packet. For each interceptedpacket, if the other destination(s) are not associated with one or more authorised destinations corresponding to the originally intended destination, then the intercepted packet is determined to have been subject to redirection to an unauthorised destination. Such packets associated are either blocked or routed to the original destination via authorised routes. The method will assist in determining whether a device sending the packets has been infected with malware.

Title: Error measurement and calibration of analog to digital converters
Inventor: ZARE-HOSEINI HASHEM
IPC: H03M1/10
Filed: 2015-03-30
Abstract: In a capacitive analogue-digital converter, mismatch between the capacitance 222 associated with one of the more significant bits, and the total capacitance of the capacitors 220-212 associated with the less significant bits, is measured by using components of the ADC itself. In a first step the common node 230 of the capacitors is connected to Vcmm while the input nodes of the capacitors 222 and 220-212 are connected respectively to earth and to Vref. The common node 230 is then (figure 5) disconnected from Vcmm while the connections to the input nodes of the capacitors 222 and 220-212 are transposed. The resulting voltage at node 230, which is proportional to the mismatch, is converted to a digital number by use of a small number of the less significant bits of the ADC. The mismatch, which should represent one LSB capacitance unit, may be corrected in the digital section of the ADC or by trimming of the capacitor 222.Â The more significant bits 224-228 may be subject to calibration and correction in sequence. The offset of the comparator 232 may be measured and corrected within the ADC (figure 3).
