Title: Adaptive compression by light level
Inventor: RICHARD JONATHAN PETRIE
IPC: H04N5/58
Filed: 2017-05-19
Abstract: Adjusting display data S83 based on monitored light S82, where the monitored light may affect the eye of a viewer. The display data forms an image for display on a display screen S81, which may be a virtual reality or augmented reality headset (41, fig 4). The monitored light may be from the display or may be ambient light in the vicinity of the viewer. At least one display value is adjusted based on the analysis of the monitored light where the analysis is based on one or more predetermined parameters. The parameters may be based on a model of the reactions of a human eye to light or changes in light. The adjusted display value is preferably not a luminance value, and may be a change in colour depth, frame rate, luminance depth or resolution. In an embodiment, the parameters includes one or more colour thresholds and monitoring the light comprises monitoring relative levels of different colours in the monitored light.

Title: Dual-frequency tags to detect cement curing in wellbore applications
Inventor: MARK ROBERSON
IPC: G06K19/067
Filed: 2015-02-20
Abstract: Micro-Electro-Mechanical System ("MEMS") tags having high and low resonant frequencies are used to detect the cured or uncured state of wellbore cement. The MEMS tags may be added to wellbore cement, and pumped downhole. An interrogation tool emits a signal at one or both of the resonant frequencies which, in turn, interacts with the MEMS tags to produce a response signal. Since uncured cement has a high attenuation, only the lower resonant frequency response signal is sensed by an interrogation device, thus indicating the cement remains uncured. When the cement cures, its conductivity drops and the attenuation of the higher resonant frequency response signal drops also, thus allowing that signal to be detected by the interrogation device and indicating the cement has cured.

IPC: G06N3/063
Filed: 2020-07-03
Abstract: A method of implementing in hardware a recurrent neural network (RNN) in which each step operates on a different input in a sequence of inputs, such as a time series. A representation of the RNN is transformed into a derivative neural network which operates over a defined plurality of inputs from the sequence of inputs and is equivalent to a plurality of steps of the RNN, e.g. by unrolling the RNN over the plurality of steps. The derivative neural network is iteratively applied to the sequence of inputs by implementing a sequence of instances of the derivative neural network in hardware, and providing the output of each instance of the derivative neural network as the input to the subsequent derivative neural network, so as to operate the RNN over a sequence of inputs longer than the defined plurality of inputs. The RNN may comprise cells. Transforming the RNN may include each cell identifying non-causal operations which are performed independently of the cell’s input, and the derivative neural network grouping together non-causal operations at the cell for parallel processing, e.g. as a single convolution operation. The hardware may include an accelerator having processors adapted to perform convolution operations.

Abstract: Ray tracing systems and computer-implemented methods are described for generating a hierarchical acceleration structure to be used for intersection testing in a ray tracing system. Nodes of the hierarchical acceleration structure are determined, wherein each of the nodes represents a region in a scene, and wherein the nodes are linked to form the hierarchical acceleration structure and data is stored representing the hierarchical acceleration structure, namely the regions represented by a plurality of the nodes of the hierarchical acceleration structure. At least one node of the hierarchical acceleration structure is an implicitly represented node, wherein data defining a region represented by an implicitly represented node is not explicitly included as part of said stored data but can be inferred from said stored data. Also described are ray tracing systems and computer-implemented methods for performing intersection testing in the ray tracing system in which, based on conditions in the ray tracing system, a determination is made as to whether testing of one or more rays for intersection with a region represented by a particular node of a sub-tree is to be skipped. The one or more rays are tested for intersection in accordance with said determination.
