Title: Message communication
Inventor: DAVID ROWLAND WILLIAMS
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2015-07-24
Abstract: A device configured to receive messages, the device comprising audio output circuitry configured to emit notification sounds in response to receiving a message, wherein when the device is set to a discreet mode the audio output circuitry provides either a quieter notification sound in response to the reception of a message than when the device is in a standard mode or no notification sound at all, message receiving circuitry configured to receive a message (e.g. an SMS message) comprising a header portion containing metadata, and a body portion containing message text, and processing circuitry configured to examine metadata within the header of the received message to detect whether the message comprises an urgent notification, wherein when the processing circuitry detects that a received message comprises an urgent notification, the processing circuitry overrides settings associated with the discreet mode in order to emit a louder notification sound than if a message not comprising an urgent notification were received. Thus, a user of a mobile device is alerted to the reception of a message comprising an urgent notification irrespective of the notification settings selected for the receiving device.

Title: Motor vehicle apparatus and method
Inventor: Jag Virdie
IPC: B62D35/00
Filed: 2015-12-09
Abstract: A motor vehicle active wing apparatus comprises a wing assembly 120 having a pitch angle P adjustable through an actuator 131 in real time whilst the vehicle is travelling. Assembly 120 may when retracted be stowed in a boot lid (50L, Figure 9) and may be deployed using a lifting arm 112L, 112R. A controller (15, Figure 9) may control pitch angle P and deployment of assembly 120, typically with assembly 120 being deployed when speed exceeds a threshold (for example 60 km/h) and retracted when speed exceeds a lower threshold (for example 40 km/h); adjustment of pitch angle P may depend on brake force (for example exceeding 5 bar for 5 seconds), lateral acceleration (for example exceeding 0.5g) or steering angle. The arrangement may create increased downforce and may overcome difficulties in packaging rear wings in high performance vehicles.

Title: Annotation free license plate recognition method and system
Inventor: ORHAN BULAN
IPC: G08G1/017
Filed: 2016-01-11
Abstract: The invention encompasses methods and systems for automatically recognizing a license, registration or number plate character (ALPR). Synthetic license plate character images are generated for a target jurisdiction (e.g. a particular state). A limited set of license plate images can be captured for a target jurisdiction utilizing an image-capturing unit (e.g. camera). The license plate images are then segmented into license plate character images. The license plate character images collected for the target jurisdiction can be manually labeled. A domain adaptation technique is utilized to reduce the divergence between synthetically-generated and manually-labeled image sets. Additionally, OCR (optical character recognition) classifiers are trained utilizing the images after the domain adaptation method has been applied. Input license plate character images can then be received from the target jurisdiction. Finally, the trained OCR classifier is employed to determine the most likely labeling for the character image and a confidence associated with the label.

Title: Sequential ACK/NACK encoding
Inventor: DAVID EDWARD COOPER
IPC: H04L1/18
Filed: 2016-02-05
Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for the transmission and reception of feedback acknowledgement messages for a HARQ packet stream with resilience against transmission errors. A plurality of HARQ processes each using a different transmission epoch 200 transmit a first packet 205-208. At least two feedback signals 220/221 sent in different subframes are jointly channel coded depending on the acknowledgement message and at least one further acknowledgement message. A convolutional code combines successive acknowledgment messages which are then further coded with a block code to produce the feedback signals. To allow for the decoding delay 230 at least one additional HARQ process is created to transmit a packet 209 prior to transmission of the second packet beginning. If packet transmission is temporarily suspended or terminated a control channel signals the receive side 150 to send a feedback signal in an epoch that does not correspond to an acknowledgement epoch of a transmitted packet.

Title: Graphics processing
Inventor: ANDREAS DUE ENGH-HALSTVEDT
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 2017-07-06
Abstract: A graphics processing pipeline 10 includes: a position shader 11, a tiler 12, a pool of memory 15 for storing primitive lists and vertex shaded attributes data for vertices, a varying-only vertex shader 13, and a fragment frontend and shader 14. The position shader 11 performs vertex shading for the positional attributes of the vertices of a set of vertices to be processed by the graphics processing pipeline. The tiler 12 uses the vertex shaded position data to identify primitives that should be processed further to generate the render output. When the tiler 12 determines that a vertex should be processed further to generate the render output, it allocates memory space in the memory pool 15 for storing vertex shaded attributes data for the vertex. Vertex shaded attributes data for the vertex is then stored in the allocated space in the memory pool 15 for later use, e.g., by the fragment frontend and shader 14.
