Title: Hybrid vehicle with a controller which overrides outputs when vehicle parameters stray
Inventor: DEXTROIT CLEMENT
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2011-02-01
Abstract: A hybrid electric vehicle has a controller 140 which controls the vehicle having a first and one or more further actuators, e.g. an internal combustion engine 121 and an electric motor 123, each operable to deliver torque to a driveline. The controller 140 comprises an energy management portion (EMP) which determines a required torque split between the actuators 121, 123. An energy management protocol determines a proportion of torque of the required torque split provided to the drive line by each of the actuators 121, 123. Controller 140 further comprising a powertrain mode manager (PMM) portion, the PMM portion being arranged to monitor the control output of the EMP and a value of one or more vehicle parameters, the PMM being further arranged to override the control output of the EMP in response to the value of the one or more vehicle parameters, thereby preventing the parameters from straying outside a permitted range. A method of controlling a hybrid vehicle using the energy management protocol and override is also disclosed.

Title: Checking positional accuracy of features
Inventor: GREEN RICHARD
IPC: G01B5/00
Filed: 2011-03-31
Abstract: A component such as a casing of a gas turbine engine has an array of holes 2 (and 4, fig 2) distributed around a flange. The casing may distort when unsupported, but the positional accuracy of the holes 2 (4) may be checked by manipulating measured hole positions to lie with known deviations from a best-fit circle 10. The maximum load and stress required to bring the hole array into conformity with the best-fit circle 10 is calculated and compared with a predetermined maximum. The deviation of the hole positions 2C(4C) associated with the best-fit circle 10 from nominal positions can also be calculated.

Title: Recording dump data of a computer process which provides trace data
Inventor: LEEDHAM NEIL WILLIAM
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2012-10-31
Abstract: A system records the core or dump data of a computer process in which the computer process comprises trace points. An application program (104) has trace code that outputs trace data 106 at trace points in the processing of the application. Trace data 106 is stored in trace file 201 and includes a sequential set of trace data elements 202 produced in response to corresponding trace points. In response to the first set of trace data being produced from the first trace point, an image of the memory (105) is stored as base core data 203. In response to a subsequent entry of trace data 202 in trace file 201 being produced a first set of delta core data 204 is saved, the delta core data 204 representing the difference between the contents of the memory between the first and second trace points. Thus, the delta core data is recorded incrementally removing the need for a full core file to be saved at the point which a crash or other problem occurs. A core data reconstitution program (108) allows a reconstituted set of core data (303) to be formed from delta core data and case core data 203.

Title: Compiling processor specific code in an executable
Inventor: KUESEL JAMIE R
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2013-01-08
Abstract: A compiler may optimize source code and any referenced libraries to execute on a plurality of different processor architecture implementations. For example, if a compute node has three different types of processors with three different architecture implementations, the compiler may compile the source code and generate three versions of object code where each version is optimized for one of the three different processor types. After compiling the source code, the resultant executable code may contain the necessary information for selecting between the three versions. For example, when a program loader assigns the executable code to the processor (305), the system determines the processor's type, preferably using a processor ID stored in a register (315), and ensures only the optimized version that corresponds to that type is executed (320). The executable code may comprise references to the code portions which may be statically or dynamically linked (Fig 4).
