Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080214726Polymeric Materials - Copolymers, desirably having a molecular weight of from 500 to 20000, of aminoesters or aminoamides of (meth)acrylic acid and (meth)acrylamides at a molar ratio of from 10:1 to 60:1, particularly from 12:1 to 50:1 and especially about 20:1, can act as gas hydrate inhibitors in water containing hydrocarbon gas streams. Desirably the aminoesters or aminoamides are N-alkyl-amino(esters or amides) in particular of the formula (I): H09-04-2008
20080221002Dispersant - A novel ashless polymeric dispersant is claimed which is suitable for use in an automotive lubricant composition. The ashless polymeric dispersant has a number average molecular weight of between 200 and 15,000 and derived from the reaction of a polar head group, which comprises a polar moiety having more than one amine, alcohol, acid or halogen functionality with two or more polar tail groups where each polar tail group comprises a polymeric backbone of 2 to 30 monomeric repeat units, each repeat unit comprising a hydrocarbon chain functionalised by the presence of at least one electronegative element or moiety. The dispersant has good dispersancy properties, when used as a sole dispersant or in combination with other dispersants. It provides enhanced seal resistance and has good oxidative stability in automotive applications as compared to current commercial products. Furthermore the low temperature viscosity of an automotive lubricant composition containing the dispersant is superior to that of a composition with current commercial dispersants.09-11-2008

James Irvine, Glasgow GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100235638IDENTIFICATION AND AUTHENTICATION OF DEVICES IN A NETWORK - A method of distributing a network access key to devices in a network comprises the steps of generating a network access key, and generating a plurality of distinct key shares for the network access key. A device requires a predetermined number of distinct key shares to generate the network access key. Key shares are distributed to devices in the network, such that at least one device receives a plurality of distinct key shares.09-16-2010
20100313246DISTRIBUTED PROTOCOL FOR AUTHORISATION - A decentralised, distributed approach to performing authorisation involves receiving an authorisation request at a service providing device, for example “Carol”, and then retrieving trust information from other peer devices in the network. The gathered information is used by the device “Carol” to make a well-informed authorisation decision.12-09-2010
20110023097AUTHENTICATION METHOD AND FRAMEWORK - Authentication in an ad-hoc network is established between a first device (for example a service-requesting device) and a second device (for example a service-providing device) using a third device (a peer device). An authentication request is transmitted from the first device to the second device. The second device transmits a query message to at least one third device (i.e. peer device). If the peer device has previously been authenticated with the first device, the peer device sends an authentication credential, for example an authentication key, to the first and second devices. Upon receiving the authentication credential, the first device sends the authentication credential to the second device. The second device then compares the authentication credential received from the first device with the authentication credential received from the third device, and authenticates the first device with the second device if the authentication credentials match. Preferably the authentication credential from the third (peer) device to the first device is encrypted.01-27-2011
