Patent GB-2517970-A (GB)
Title: A buffer
Inventor: WATTS CARL FRANCIS
IPC: B61G11/16
Filed: 2013-09-06
Abstract: A buffer with telescoping first 21 and second 22 elements defining a hollow interior where the second element 22 is moveable within the first 21. The telescoping elements can be a buffer capsule 31 with an energy absorbing means that is recoverable or elastic to provide resilience up to a threshold level of compression during an impact. When a threshold energy level of compression is exceeded the second element 22 energises a non-recoverable energy absorbing member 34 which may be achieved by a circumferential tapered wedge 41 ironing through and deforming another member 34. A further resilient member such as a ring spring 26 can be provided to allow the buffer to dampen extension forces. An external shroud (53, fig 4) may be provided around the plastically deformable member (47, fig 4). The ends of the buffer are intended to have coupling means such as muff couples 33, 39. A further embodiment uses a tie rod (63, fig 6) and multiple annular spring elements (69, fig 6) to provide resilient compression and extension dampening.

Title: Determining a predicted behaviour for processing of instructions
Inventor: MAX JOHN BATLEY
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2015-06-05
Abstract: Prediction circuitry 40 for determining based on current prediction policy information 43 a predicted behaviour to be used for processing instructions. The current prediction policy information is updated based on an outcome of processing of instructions. A storage structure 50 stores at least one entry identifying previous prediction policy information 60 for a corresponding block of instructions. In response to an instruction from a block having a corresponding entry in the storage structure 50 which identifies the previous prediction policy information 60, the current prediction policy information 43 can be reset based on the previous prediction policy information 60 identified in the corresponding entry of the storage structure 50. This enables saving and restoring previous prediction policy information when a block of instructions is encountered again to reduce the warm up time and increase the likelihood that the prediction will be correct for the new block of instructions. The predicted behaviour may comprises a predicted outcome of a branch instruction, prediction of which processing mode to use or which data to prefetch from a cache memory.

Title: Reducing controller updates in a control loop
Inventor: TERRENCE LYNN BLEVINS
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 2015-03-20
Abstract: A control technique controls a process in a manner that reduces the number of controller changes provided to a controlled device, and so reduces the power consumption of the controlled device along with the loading of a process control communications network disposed between the controller and the controlled device. This technique is very useful in a control system having wirelessly connected field devices, such as sensors and valves which, in many cases, operate off of battery power. Moreover, the control technique is useful in implementing a control system in which control signals are subject to intermittent, non- synchronized or significantly delayed communications and/or in a control system that receives intermittent, non- synchronized or significantly delayed process variable measurements to be used as feedback signals in the performance of closed-loop control.
