  • Messaging Apparatus For Wearable Items
    Publication number: 20200090581
    Abstract: A messaging apparatus for wearable items. The messaging apparatus may comprise a light source, at least one sensor to detect an event, and a controller to control the flashing of the light source in response to the detection of the event. The controlling of the flashing of the light source may generate at least one visible element that is visible to a viewer. Further, the light source may not be adapted in the form of the at least one visible element, but rather, the controlled flashing of the light source may be in the form of the at least one visible element.

  • Time Limited Code
    Publication number: 20200090160
    Abstract: A method including authenticating a voucher which has a time limited validity period. The method comprises: a user requesting issuance of a token to a customer in a machine readable form; and issuing one or more modified versions of the token to the user, each modified version of the token being associated with a different time period of validity of the token; scanning the ticket on a scanning device connected to a terminal operated by the user; the scanning device modifying the token according to a current time period; and the terminal operated by the user comparing the modified token provided by the scanner with the modified tokens issued by the central server to validate the scanned token. A further method is provided for performing a transaction, between a customer and a vendor, using a customer's mobile phone as an authorisation device.

  • Interface comprising a nasal sealing portion and a rolling hinge
    Patent number: 10589046
    Abstract: An interface for positive pressure therapy includes a mask assembly. The mask assembly can include a mask seal that is adapted to underlie the nose. The mask seal extends up the lateral sides of the nose. The mask seal has a primary seal below the nose and a secondary seal alongside the nose. The mask seal can include a rolling hinge that permits one portion of the mask seal to deform relative to another portion of the mask seal. In one configuration, the portion of the mask seal that underlies the nose is configured to deform relative to a lower portion of the mask seal.

  • Systems and Methods for Automated Generation and Update of Cipher Parameters
    Publication number: 20200076591
    Abstract: Systems and methods for encrypting and decrypting data during an active data communication are disclosed. In one embodiment, seed data is received. A number of first seed bits are extracted from the seed data. The extracted first seed bits is used to index into a first index location of first one-time pad (OTP) data and obtain system setup random data from the first OTP data. System configuration information including a number of cipher parameters is defined based on the system setup random data, where the number of cipher parameters includes encryption cipher parameters and decryption cipher parameters. The data is encrypted or decrypted based, respectively, at least on the encryption cipher parameters or the decryption cipher parameters to generate encrypted data or decrypted data respectively.

  • Hand dryer
    Patent number: 10548440
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wall-mountable hand dryer of the type which uses an air-knife to wipe the water from a user's hand. In accordance with the invention, the hand dryer is configured to have a maximum depth, front-to-back, of less than 150 mm when it is surface-mounted on—not recessed within—the wall. The air-knife is discharged downwardly through one or more discharge apertures on the dryer. These discharge apertures are configured so that the air-knife is discharged in front of the wall or a rear part of the dryer, and is discharged forwards towards the user at a downward angle. The downward angle of the air-knife is such that the air-knife projects to a distance of at least 75 mm in front of the wall or, as the case may be, in front of the rear part of the dryer.

  • Fluid flow plate for a fuel cell
    Patent number: 10541430
    Abstract: A fluid flow plate for an electrochemical fuel cell assembly comprises a first plurality of fluid flow channels extending across an area of the flow plate to define a flow field of the fluid flow plate. An array of first fluid transfer points is disposed along an edge of the flow field for communicating fluid into or out of the fluid flow channels. A gallery has a first peripheral edge portion bounded by the array of first fluid transfer points and at least two second peripheral edge portions each bounded by an array of second fluid transfer points disposed along fluid access edges of the fluid flow plate. The at least two second peripheral edge portions are disposed at oblique angles to the first peripheral edge portion such that the total length of the any of second fluid transfer points is at least as long as, and preferably longer than, the length of the array of first fluid transfer points.
