Title: Context data management
Inventor: THOMAS CHRISTOPHER GROCUTT
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2017-07-05
Abstract: Apparatus for processing data includes processing circuitry for executing context-data dependent program instructions, which perform processing dependent upon currently existing context data, e.g. floating point instructions where the context data may be rounding mode information. A context save instruction 36 saves context data 50 when it is marked as having been used 40Y and saves default context data 44 when the current context data is marked as not having been used 40N. A context restore instruction (56 in Figure 3) restores context data (66 in Figure 3) when the current context data is marked as having been used (60Y in Figure 3) but preserves the current context data when it is marked as currently unused (60N in Figure 3). Context switching may occur between secure and non-secure domains (e.g. Figures 4 to 8), where secure state data should not be visible to non-secure call back functions (e.g. Figure 7).

Title: A notification system for an electric vehicle, an electric vehicle, and a method
Inventor: MATTHEW JONES
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2017-11-14
Abstract: An audible notification system 40 for an electric vehicle 10 (e.g. EV, HEV, BEV, PHEV) operates when the vehicle is connected to a charging point 26, and produces a sound in dependence on the state of charge (SOC) of a vehicle energy storage device (e.g. battery) to indicate whether the vehicle may be disconnected from the charging point (e.g. when the energy storage device has reached a predetermined state of charge). The system may produce a sound indicating that the vehicle should not be disconnected from the charging point if the energy storage device has not yet reached a predetermined SOC. The sound may be a verbal message in a language that is based on the location of the vehicle. The system may produce sound only: if a vehicle location detection system (e.g. global navigation satellite system (GNSS)) determines that the vehicle is not at a pre-defined location; if it is determined that the vehicle is at a multi-user charging station or a charging point having multiple associated parking spaces; and/or within predetermined time periods. The system may include a sensor arrangement (e.g. motion sensor), wherein a sound is produced if the sensor arrangement detects the presence of a person, or a further vehicle, in the vicinity of the vehicle.
