Patent GB-2539073-A (GB)
Title: Speaking intersection controller
Inventor: PAUL COX
IPC: G08G1/097
Filed: 2016-04-01
Abstract: An intersection controller IC comprises a monitoring device, an event recorder ER, a converting device CD for converting text related to the recorded event into an audio file, and a communication device COM for communicating the audio file to a mobile device MD. A user of the mobile device who may be an engineer configuring or maintaining the controller may define the event to be monitored. The controller may send a text file relating to the recorded event to the mobile device for conversion to an audio file, which may be a speech file, for outputting to the user. The system may be used where an engineer is monitoring the functionality of a controller e.g. to determine if vehicles ahead of traffic lights are being detected. The engineer does not need to visually monitor the sequence of events at the IC; instead the mobile device displays or announces the data directly.

Title: Self-testing in a processor core
Inventor: BALAJI VENU
IPC: G06F11/27
Filed: 2016-04-11
Abstract: Apparatus and a method for processor core self-testing are disclosed. The apparatus 10 comprises processor core circuitry 20 to perform data processing operations by executing data processing instructions. Separate self-test control circuitry 14 causes the processor core circuitry to temporarily switch from a first state of executing the data processing instructions to a second state of executing a self-test sequence of instructions, before returning to the first state of executing the data processing instructions without a reboot of the processor core circuitry being required. There is also self-test support circuitry, wherein the processor core circuitry is responsive to the self-test sequence of instructions to cause an export of at least one self-test data item via the self-test support circuitry to the self-test control circuitry. The apparatus may be such that the export of the self-test data maybe be exported after returning to the first state. The self-test support circuitry may, for example, comprise a dedicated self-test path from the processor to the self-test control circuitry, instruction type indication circuitry, memory transaction request indication circuitry, or memory transaction blocking circuitry.

Filed: 2014-10-24
Abstract: In a method of producing a composite animation live captured image sequence by capturing a live action sequence of action scenes with an image capture device, which include a stand-in for an animated feature or character, generating concurrently with the live action sequence configuration data for the stand-in, positioning data associated with the stand-in derived through machine vision techniques applied to the live action sequence image frames; producing from the configuration data and the positioning data a computer-generated animated sequence for combining with the captured image sequence to produce composite image sequence comprising the animated feature in place of the stand-in, both the configuration data and frame-by-frame virtual camera data corresponding to the live action image captured frames can be synchronously incorporated enabling efficient and effective production of composite animation live action digital video or film or broadcast. As such, the stand-in tracking data is video-ready such that all animation data may be readily slotted into the captured video image to produce a composite that achieves the requirement of suspended disbelief.

IPC: B65B67/12
Filed: 2016-06-24
Abstract: Apparatus for holding open a canvas, or like, bag 7 on a site, e.g. a building or nucleardecommissioning site, consists of four corner blocks 2 fitted around the corners of a pallet 3, which are held in place by a circumferential securing device, preferably a strap 4 incorporating a tensioning device (Fig 1, 5), such as a ratchet mechanism. The corner blocks 2 may contain grooves (2E, Fig 3) or loops (2D, Fig 4) to hold the strap in place. Vertical poles 6 are inserted in a hole in each corner block and the handles 8 of the bag are fitted to hooks 9 at the distal end of each pole to keep the bag open for filling. The apparatus of the invention is fitted round a pallet and removable from it and is packable into an easily portable or storable module (Figs 6&7). The filled bag may be removed from above, e.g. by a crane, or on the pallet by a forklift means, after the apparatus has been removed. Preferably the poles 6, corner blocks 2 and/or securing device 4 are constructed from a lightweight, polymeric material. When disassembled, the apparatus is used again with the same or another pallet. The apparatus can be used so that people do not have to hold open the bag and expose themselves to danger, e.g. the risk of physical injury from the means used to fill the bag or from radiation.

Title: Downhole tool and method of use
Inventor: STEFFAN HANSEN
IPC: E21B29/00
Filed: 2016-09-07
Abstract: During normal circulation mode (Fig 1), fluid flows through a first bypass pathway 38 in the tool and actuate / control another tool located downhole on the tool string. Fluid flows through bore 30 and channels 32a into the bypass channel 38. The flow continues through ports 54 on the piston 40 into the bore 52. Ports 34 are blocked by port valve 35 preventing flow from acting on the piston sleeve 42 to actuate the cutter mechanism 18. During cutting mode , a second flow pathway, initiated by axial force via weight-set or drop ball (fig 6B) on switching mandrel 14, allows fluid flow through bore 30 of the mandrel into the chamber 62 via the ports 34 on the mandrel 14 to push against the spring biased piston 42 and extend the pivoting cutting knives 20. To retract the knives 20, the fluid flow pressure through the second pathway is reduced.

Title: Computer device and method for isolating untrusted content
Inventor: JOHN GOODRIDGE
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2017-04-25
Abstract: A computer device 200 receives email items 50 from a plurality of senders into a client email application 220 executing under access privileges which are derived from a primary user account 210 of a logged-in user. The client email application 220 opens and processes the email items 50 until an attachment access request to access an attachment 51a to one of the email items 50a is encountered. The attachment access request is intercepted and a sender of the email item 50a is determined to be trusted or untrusted according to a sender identity of the sender of the email item 50a. Where the sender is determined to be trusted, the computer device 200 permits access to the attachment 51a by the client email application 220 in the primary user account. Otherwise, where the sender is determined to be untrusted, the computer device 200 causes access to the attachment 51a to be isolated within a programmatically created secondary user account 210b (e.g. sandbox).

Filed: 2017-05-15
Abstract: A motor vehicle seating arrangement 100, 400, (50, figure 5, 200, figure 2e, 300, figure 3a) comprising two spaced apart outboard seats 105, 106, 405, 406, (305, 306, 205, 206, figure 2e) defining between the pair of seats, a gap into which an item of utility is fitted. The utility may be a central seat, a child seat, a table, a storage box, a storage locker or an entertainment system. The item of utility is supported solely by the two outboard seats.
