Title: A registration plate incorporating a transponder
Inventor: GOULD ADAM
IPC: B60R13/10
Filed: 2007-10-12
Abstract: A registration plate body (4) has a transponder (6), and the vehicle (2) to which the registration plate body (4) is fitted has transponder (8). When the transponders (6, 8) are close enough to each other, as when the body (4) is on the vehicle (2), at least one of them will emit a signal. The signal can be picked up, for example, by a roadside receiver (10) to verify the registration details of the vehicle. If the transponders (6, 8) move apart, as when the registration plate body (4) is removed from the vehicle, the transponders emit no signal, (or a different signal such as an alarm signal), which enables the receiver (10) to determine that a registration plate anomaly has occurred. Theft of the registration plate may be discouraged.

Title: Changing communication channels for secure encrypted communications
Inventor: GOMEZ ALBERTO
IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2008-01-17
Abstract: Security of communications between a mobile terminal 1 and a cellular network node, e.g. base station 3, is enhanced. A communication session transmitted on a first traffic channel is encrypted using a key "KA" 50. The security is enhanced by causing the communication session to change to a second communication channel 54 after a predetermined time, preferably very quickly after establishing the key "KA". The communication session may then change to a third communication channel 56 after another predetermined time. Alternatively, the communication session may be encrypted using a second key "KB" (72 fig.3) after the change to the second communication channel 54.

Title: Compression pipe coupling tightened by tangential bolt
Inventor: REX BRIAN
IPC: F16L19/075
Filed: 2008-06-19
Abstract: A compression type pipe coupling device has tangential bolts 5a, 5b to tighten the compression members 2a, 2b onto the sleeve 1. The compression members can be initially turned by hand until a gasket engages the outer diameter of the pipe, and then the gasket is further compressed by applying torque to the tangential bolt. There may be a ratchet mechanism (figure 6), or the bolt may be connected to the sleeve 1 of the coupling by a band clamp (figure 7). The sealing gasket may have a 'waffle' or 'pocketed' profile to assist in sealing corroded or pitted pipes. The coupling is particularly useful for large diameter pipes where conventional compression fittings are not possible because of the torque required.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the height of sports netting 12 strung between opposed posts 14,16 includes a datum point 28, preferably a pulley, of a given height above ground being provided on each post and a datum line 42 provided between the datum posts. The height above ground X of a specified top of the net 12 is interpolated by measuring the distance Y between the datum line 42 and the top of the net 12 and subtracting this from the datum point height. The datum line 42 may be a light-weight cord strung between the datum points or a beam of visible or invisible light. The datum line 42 may be removable and the specified part of the net 12 may be the centre. The cord may be provided on a reel 46 attached to one post 14 which is deployable across the datum points 28 and anchored by a hook 44 on the other post 16. In effect, the drop or sag of the cord compared to the net 12 is measured. The drop of the cord is negligent compared to that of the net. Where the datum line 42 is a beam of light, a light source may be attached to one post and a target mounted of the other.

Title: Integrated circuit which can enter a low power state while maintaining output signals
Inventor: HENDEN NEIL
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2008-11-26
Abstract: An integrated circuit has an output storage element 401 to store the value of an input/output pin 330. When a functional block of the circuit enter sleep mode, a capture signal 420 causes the current value of the pin to be stored in the storage element. This stored value is then output on the pin while the block is in sleep mode. The pin may be connected to a flexible pin configuration interface 301, 311, 312 to allow several functional blocks to output signals to the pin. The circuit may also have storage elements 402, 401 to preserve the value of input and output enable signals for the pin, while the block is in sleep mode. When the block exits sleep mode, the normal output value is restored.

Title: Scheduling Instructions in a Multithreaded Microprocessor
Inventor: WEBBER ANDREW
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2009-04-28
Abstract: A multithreaded processor capable of issuing a plurality of instructions in each clock cycle determines a highest priority thread that is able to issue an instruction that is not a speculative instruction. Compatible instructions able to be issued from other threads simultaneously with the highest priority instruction are determined, where compatible instructions are those that do not require the use of the same resources at the same time. Preferably, for each thread an instruction decode unit pre-decodes an instruction coming out of an instruction fetch unit, and performs an AND operation between the resources required for that thread's instruction and those determined in parallel for all the other active threads. All of the threads present have all of their stated resource requirements tested against each other in parallel, and a flag is generated for each pair of threads to indicate whether or not the threads are compatible. Each thread is given a priority ranking and the highest priority thread that is ready to issue a non-speculative instruction is selected. Compatible instructions from other threads are then selected based on their priority to form a set of instruction to be issued in that clock cycle.
