Title: Braking mechanism for use on high chairs
Inventor: CHEN HONG-BO
IPC: A47D1/00
Filed: 2013-04-25
Abstract: A high chair and a braking mechanism 40 for use on a childs high chair 1. The locking mechanism includes a braking component pivoted to the supporting frame 20 of the childs dining chair, for pivoting between a first position and a second position. The locking component contacts against the ground to raise the supporting frame and separate the wheels 30 from the ground as the braking component is forced to pivot to the first position, so as to implement a function of immobilising the chair. As the braking component pivots to the second position, the braking component is separated from the ground, so that the wheel contacts against the ground, so as to implement a function of releasing the wheel. The childs dining chair can be pushed to move as the wheel contacts the ground. The childs dining chair is east to operate and has a simple structure and high security.

Title: Method of controlling a diesel particulate filter
Inventor: LATROFA GIACOMO
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2013-04-30
Abstract: A method of controlling a diesel particulate filter (DPF), wherein the control is carried out with the help of one soot loading model out of a multitude of available soot loading models. The models comprise at least a soot loading physical model, which makes use of signals from an exhaust gas pressure sensor. A reliability score is allocated to each soot loading model, and the soot loading model with the best reliability score is used for the DPF control. The method comprises identifying a DPF parking effect if an engine shut-off time is longer than a first time threshold, and a DPF inlet temperature is lower than a first temperature threshold. If a parking effect is identified, the reliability score of the physical model, or all of the remaining soot loading models, is changed so as to avoid the soot loading physical model being used to help the control of the DPF.

Title: Iterative refinement apparatus
Inventor: ANGERER CHRISTOPH MARTIN
IPC: G06F17/16
Filed: 2014-02-20
Abstract: An iIterative refinement apparatus is provided for generating data defining a solution vector x for a linear system represented by Ax = b, where A is a predetermined matrix and b is a predetermined vector. An outer solver (2, Fig 1) processes input data, defining the matrix A and vector b, in accordance with an outer loop of an iterative refinement method to generate said data defining the solution vector x. An inner solver (3, Fig 1) processes data items in accordance with an inner loop of the iterative refinement method. The inner solver is operable for processing said data items having variable bit-width and data format. A precision controller (4, Fig 1) determines the bit-widths and data formats of the data items adaptively in dependence on results of processing steps during progress of the iterative refinement method. The precision controller 4 is adapted to control operation of the inner solver 3 for processing said data items with the bit-widths and data formats so determined.

Title: Rendering with point sampling and pre-computed light transport information
Inventor: PETERSON LUKE TILMAN
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2014-02-25
Abstract: A Rendering system combines point sampling and volume sampling operations to produce rendering outputs. For example, to determine colour information for a surface location in a 3-D scene, one or more point sampling operations are conducted in a volume around the surface location, and one or more sampling operations of volumetric light transport data are performed farther from the surface location. A transition zone between point sampling and volume sampling can be provided, in which both point and volume sampling operations are conducted. Data obtained from point and volume sampling operations can be blended in determining colour information for the surface location. For example, point samples are obtained by tracing a ray for each point sample, to identify an intersection between another surface and the ray, to be shaded, and volume samples are obtained from nested 3-D grids of volume elements expressing light transport data at different levels of granularity. The volume sampling process uses ray tracing and sampling of light transport data volumetrically dispersed in 3-D space. It comprises tracing a ray in a direction from a point in s 3D scene up to a maximum distance of the transition zone and if no intersection was detected for the ray closer than a minimum distance of the transition zone then a conic section is marched through a 3-D grid of volume elements in the 3-D scene along the direction of the ray. Each volume element is associated with data representative of light energy propagating through surfaces of that volume element and the area of the conic section being marched is determined based on a spreading factor and a distance from the point in the 3-D scene to a current sampling point. Light energy is collected from the volume elements intersected by the conic section during the marching and lighting information is produced for the point in the 3-D scene from the collected light energy from the volume elements.

Title: A skip corner protector
Inventor: WRIGHT CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B65D90/22
Filed: 2014-04-04
Abstract: Injury can occur to persons within the vicinity of skips 20, because skips 20 incorporate a plurality of corners. In particular, many conventional skips 20 have a base for resting on the ground that is smaller than their lateral extent above ground level. This can pose an increased risk to persons within the vicinity of the skip 20, such as pedestrians and/or cyclists, who may not expect projections above ground level on a pavement and/or road. The present invention relates to a skip corner protector 10 for preventing injury to persons in the vicinity of a skip 20, by providing an indication that is optimised for visibility horizontally, when the skip corner protector 10 is attached to a sloping face 40 of the skip 20. In particular the protector encompasses a corner and can be secured by magnets and/or clamps. The indicator can be a light source or reflector 50 and its intensity can have a directional bias. There is also a tool with a handle, a screw driving head and an arm to hook behind the protector.
