Title: Vehicle sliding door latch mechanism with planetary gears can release latch and cancel release
Inventor: YOKOMORI KAZUHITO
IPC: E05B81/20
Filed: 2013-06-18
Abstract: A vehicle door closer device comprises a latch 7 movable from a half-latch position to a full-latch position, and a ratchet 9 which can engage with the latch 7. A planetary gear mechanism 33 has a sun gear 35 able to turn in only one direction, and a planetary gear 36 engaged with the sun gear 35. A closing lever 38 pivots with both the sun 35 and planetary 36 gears. A ring gear 39 surrounds the sun 35 and planetary 36 gears, engaging with the planetary gear 36. When the ring gear 39 turns in a closing direction, the planetary gear 36 orbits the sun gear 35, driving the closing lever 39 to move the latch 7 into the full-latch position. When the ring gear 39 turns in a releasing direction, the planetary gear 36 drives the sun gear 35 to rotate, releasing the ratchet 9 from the latch 7. Also presented is a device with a latch 7, a ratchet 9 and a motor slowed by a reduction mechanism 33, the motor motion releasing the ratchet 9 from engagement with the latch 7. A release cancelling mechanism 303 disconnects the motor motion from the ratchet 9. The devices may be used in a vehicle sliding door.

Title: Network Configuration
Inventor: GRAUBE NICHOLAS GUY ALBERT
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2014-07-17
Abstract: A method of determining the topology of a network, preferably a wireless mesh network, is disclosed. The network comprises a central network entity 207 and a plurality of devices 201-206 each of which communicates directly with one or more local devices of a local group 208, 209, 210. The local devices are the devices of the network with which the device is within direct communication range. At each device an identifier message is received from each local device comprising an identifier and an instruction not to retransmit the message. Each device reports the identities of the local devices in the local group to the central network entity 207. The central network entity determines the topology by collating the identities of the local devices in the local groups of each device. Transport of messages through the network may be provided by each device listening for and retransmitting messages. The identities of local devices in a local group may be stored in a store at each device, the store being updated with the received identities. Each local device may transmit its identifier message in response to receiving a trigger message from the central network entity or from another device.

Title: An apparatus and method for controlling debugging of program instructions including a transaction
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN WILLIAMS
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2015-02-13
Abstract: An apparatus (100 in Figure 3) comprises: processing circuitry to execute 215 program instructions including a transaction (Figure 1) which comprises a number of program instructions that execute to generate updates to state data, where those updates are committed if the transaction completes without a conflict (Figure 2A); and control storage (135 in Figures 3 and 4) for storing at least one watchpoint identifier. The processing circuitry is arranged, when detecting 220 a watchpoint match condition with reference to the at least one watchpoint identifier during execution of a program instruction within 225 the transaction, to create 230 a pending watchpoint debug event. The processing circuitry is then responsive to execution of the transaction finishing 210 to initiate 235 a watchpoint debug event for the pending watchpoint debug event; however, if instead a conflict arises during execution of the transaction, such that it may be aborted 240 before it finishes, the processing circuitry is arranged to cancel 250 the pending watchpoint debug event. This prevents a probe effect arising during execution of a transaction due to debugging activity.
Patent GB-2533438-A (GB)
Title: Transmitter and method of transmitting and receiver and method of receiving
Inventor: NABIL SVEN LOGHIN
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2015-03-12
Abstract: A transmitter encodes data into forward error correction encoded (FEC) frames of encoded data cells. Plural FEC frames are formed into service frames for transmission. A convolutional interleaver interleaves the data cells of the service frames before modulation onto OFDM sub-carriers. A receiver which powers on and receives a new service frame may fail to decode an FEC frame contained therein because some of the data cells of the FEC frame have already been transmitted in a previous service frame. To save on energy wasted trying to decode the FEC frame the invention proposes either that the transmitter indicates to the receiver a first cell of a first FEC frame in a service frame it is able to decode or the receiver calculates which FEC frame it is able decode without requiring data cells of previous service frames.

IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2012-02-17
Abstract: A virtual body model of a person is created with a small number of measurements and a single photograph and combined with one or more images of garments. The virtual body model represents a realistic representation of the users body and is used for visualizing photo-realistic fit visualizations of garments, hairstyles, make-up, and / or other accessories. The virtual garments are created from layers based on photographs of real garment from multiple angles captured by a video camera. Furthermore the virtual body model is used in multiple embodiments of manual and automatic garment, make-up, and, hairstyle recommendations, such as, from channels, friends, and fashion entities. The virtual body model is sharable for, as example, visualization and comments on looks. Furthermore it is also used for enabling users to buy garments that fit other users, suitable for gifts or similar. The implementation can also be used in peer-to-peer online sales where garments can be bought with the knowledge that the seller has a similar body shape and size as the user as well as being used in manufacturing the garment chosen.
