Publication number: 20170155693Abstract: Non-limiting examples disclosed herein describe processing capabilities for ad-hoc online meetings. In an implementation, an identifier is received that corresponds with a specific location. A proximity signal is received from one or more components associated with the specific location. The received proximity signal comprises one of: a modulated light signal, an audible sound, an inaudible sound and ambient noise. The identifier is validated based on a comparison of the proximity signal with a reference signal for the one or more components. A service identifier for a conferencing session is provided based on a validation of the identifier. In one example, a computing device is connected to the conference session based on receipt of a request that comprises the provided service identifier. In another example, the conference session is automatically transferred from a client computing device to a component associated with the specific location such as a room display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2017Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventors: Ross Garrett Cutler, Andrew Peter Sinclair, Jonathan Adam Kauffman, Anton Krantz

Patent number: 9454677Abstract: Secure communication of user inputs is achieved by isolating part of an endpoint device such that certificates and encryption keys are protected from corruption by malware. Further, the communication is passed through a trusted data relay that is configured to decrypt and/or certify the user inputs encrypted by the isolated part of the endpoint device. The trusted data relay can determine that the user inputs were encrypted or certified by the protected certificates and encryption keys, thus authenticating their origin within the endpoint device. The trusted data relay then forwards the inputs to an intended destination. In some embodiments, the isolated part of the endpoint device is configured to detect input created by auto-completion logic and/or spell checking logic.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Truedata Systems, Inc.Inventors: Peter Sinclair, James Lloyd, Michael Eynon

Publication number: 20160232649Abstract: A camera for polarimetric, multispectral imaging is described. Such cameras are used in photonics, computational imaging and multispectral imaging in which both multispectral and polarimetric sensing modalities are used simultaneously for detection, recognition and identification. The camera enables multiple spectral images to be recorded simultaneously using polarising beamsplitters and mirrors to divide the image according polarimetric and spectral bands. These multiple, polarised images are recorded on a single focal plane array (FPA) simultaneously. An image processor allows for the resolution of the subsequent image to be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2014Publication date: August 11, 2016Applicant: SELEX ES LTDInventors: Roger Malcolm PILKINGTON, Gerald WONG, Robert A.
