Title: Water heating apparatus comprising a safety valve
Inventor: HALFORD IAN
IPC: F16K17/38
Filed: 2011-01-31
Abstract: A water heating apparatus comprises a tank (1a, fig.1) having a water supply inlet and a hot water supply outlet. The tank contains a heating tube 7 having a fluid inlet and outlet, where the fluid inlet is connected to a source of heated fluid, such as that provided by a boiler, so that heated fluid flowing through the heating tube heats water in the tank. The water heating apparatus also has a safety device 10 to inhibit or reduce the flow of fluid through the heating tube. The safety device comprises a valve 11 biased to a closed condition, a valve control element biased to a first position in which the valve control element acts against the valve biasing to hold the valve open, and a tank temperature responsive member 12. In operation, if the temperature within the tank exceeds an operating temperature or temperature range, the temperature responsive member moves the valve control element from the first position to a second position in which the valve control member no longer acts against the valve biasing. In a further aspect, a safety device is disclosed comprising a valve biased to either an open condition or a closed condition.

Title: Associating meta-information with vertex shader attributes
Inventor: NYSTAD JA RN
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 2012-03-02
Abstract: A graphics processor includes a vertex shader that processes input attribute values from a vertex buffer 26 to generate output vertex shaded attribute values 28 to be used by a rasteriser/fragment shader 22 of the graphics processor when processing an image for display. The system recognizes when a vertex shader output attribute value to be generated from a vertex shader input attribute value by the vertex shader 20 will be a copy of the vertex shader input attribute value from which it is to be generated. In this event, the vertex shader 20 does not generate the copy vertex shader output attribute value, but the rasteriser/fragment shader 22 instead processes the corresponding vertex shader input attribute value in place of the copy vertex shader output attribute value that would otherwise have been generated by the vertex shader 20. The invention of this application relates to the association of meta-information with the attributes used in the vertex shading stage for use when loading or storing the attributes. The meta-information may relate to whether the output attribute should be written to memory or not and/or the form of a test to determine whether such writing should take place and the parameters for such a test.
