Title: Method for entering and exiting sleep mode in a graphics subsystem
Inventor: JAYAVANT RAJEEV
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2012-07-10
Abstract: A method implemented by a graphics processing unit (GPU) for entering a power-down, low-power or sleep state comprises; receiving 410 a command to enter a sleep state; saving 414 an internal processing state for the GPU onto a local or dedicated graphics memory; causing 416 the memory to enter a self-refresh mode; and entering 420 the sleep state. All incoming workloads and further processing tasks may be stalled to halt processing within the GPU when in the sleep state. The memory may be dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device. When exiting the sleep state (i.e. entering a power-on or power-up state), the method may further comprise causing the memory device to exit the self-refresh mode and reloading the internal processing for the GPU from the memory to the GPU [fig. 4B]. The GPU and memory system may be configured to operate at a predetermined speed and operating state prior to entering or exiting the sleep state.

Title: Method and apparatus for use in a radio communication device
Inventor: ROUSU SEPPO
IPC: H01Q1/00
Filed: 2013-07-05
Abstract: Information is received about a sensed change in antenna matching of a radio communication device that has an antenna associated with it wherein the sensed change in the antenna matching is caused by a change in the environment of the antenna. The received information is analyzed to determine whether the sensed change in the antenna matching corresponds to a predetermined user activity. If yes, a control action is caused to be performed on a user function of the radio communication device and/or a further entity associated with it. The control action is associated with the predetermined user activity. Aspects of the invention include the change in antenna matching performed by measuring a signal reflecting from at least one of the antenna and an object in the environment of the antenna or by detecting settings of an antenna tuner. The predetermined user activity may comprise e.g. predetermined presence of a user body part in the environment of the at least one associated antenna. Alternatively, the predetermined user activity may comprise e.g. a predetermined gesture made by a user in the environment of the at least one associated antenna.

Title: SIIS level 2 sensor offset distance extender
Inventor: MELLO REAGAN D
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2013-12-06
Abstract: The maximum offset distance between an underwater sensor and a subsea control module is increased by providing an emulated sensor on the sensor bus. The emulated sensor is a component which contains a terminating resistance similar to that of a real sensor. The termination resistance may be switchable or variable. The total parallel resistance of the sensor network can therefore be lowered, which increases the maximum possible offset distance. The decrease in resistance may compensate for variations in cable capacitance due to pressure or age and the lower resistance improves signal degradation, hence increasing the maximum offset distance. The additional sensor(s) by be emulated by a smart plug-in module, a printed circuit board assembly, and a virtual sensor. The bus may be subsea instrumentation interface standard (SIIS) compliant. The sensors may be connected in star or daisy chain topology. The sensor network may be used in the oil or gas industry.

Title: Automatic aggregation of online user profiles
Inventor: NIYATI CHHAYA
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2015-07-23
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for identifying the same online user across different communication networks (e.g. social networks), and further creating a unified profile for that user. The unified profile is an aggregation of publicly available user profile attributes across the different networks. In an embodiment, the techniques are implemented as a computer implemented methodology, including: (1) feature space analysis to identify relevant user features that allows for clusterization of the given target network(s), (2) unsupervised candidate selection to identify one or more candidate user profiles from each target network and that are likely belonging to a target user or so-called queried user, and (3) supervised user identification (e.g. a classifier) to identify a likely matching user profile for that target user from each target network. Example profile features may include: username and name, profile image or headshot, biographical information, geographic location, gender, and language. A unified user profile can then be built from data taken from all matched user profiles, and effectively allows a marketer to better understand that user and hence execute more informed targeting.

It designed specifically for use with applications that have multi-layered objects such as plans for a building 100. The user will see the usual objects such as the walls 112, and the rooms 110 that are outlined by the walls. The plan will then have a colour layer 120 overlaid on top of it. Each layer within the plans has a different colour value. Each colour value is attributed to an item, or items, and each item has actions and information associated with it. The colour layer is invisible, or the colours are indistinguishable to the user. There is a second invention for electronically mapping information to a structure by attributing a colour value to an item and linking information associated with that item to the colour value, and a third invention for manipulating an electronic plan of a structure by moving the colour block of an item with the item when the item is moved.

Title: Device and method for monitoring moving entity
Inventor: IWASAKI TETSUYA
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2014-03-10
Abstract: In this monitoring device (1), an area sensor device (optical rangefinder) (2) detects objects by scanning a monitored area. From the detected objects, moving entities are specified, and the moving entity closest to a high-priority monitoring target (e.g. an entrance/exit), which is set in advance within the monitored area, is set as the target to be tracked. A camera device (3) automatically tracks the moving entity that has been set as the target to be tracked. Thus, even if there are a plurality of moving entities within the monitored area, the target to be tracked can be switched, and a moving entity desired by a monitoring person is set as the target to be tracked.
