Title: Channel selection by decoding a first program stream and partially decoding a second program stream
Inventor: STIEGLITZ PETER
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2012-03-28
Abstract: An apparatus and method in which a first pipeline receives and decodes a first program stream and a second pipeline receives and partially decodes a second program stream. When the first program stream is selected, the first pipeline provides the decoded first program stream to be output and the second pipeline discards the partially decoded second program stream. The second program stream may be partially decoded according to a partial processing mode that may involve; identifying packets of the second program stream; performing frame analysis on the identified packets; decoding reference frames of identified packets and identifying and decoding remaining frames of the identified packets. The invention may be used to reduce latency when a new program or channel is selected by ensuring that information relating to a channel the user may select has already been partially decoded. Also disclosed is an apparatus configured to decode packets from a first program stream.

Title: Reprogrammable electronic memory with limited repeat programming capability, comprising one time programmable elements
Inventor: LONG MEL GERARD
IPC: G11C17/16
Filed: 2012-09-03
Abstract: A reprogrammable electronic memory, comprising a logic device 13 having a plurality of inputs and an output 14 , wherein a signal at the output 14 changes each time a signal at one of the inputs changes; and a one-time programmable element 10,11,12 connected to each of the inputs, each element providing a first output signal prior to programming of that element and a second output signal after programming of that element. The output of the logic device therefore changes or toggles as the one time programmable element is programmed. The logic device may perform an XOR function between the inputs, and may further be a parity tree. At least one of the one-time programmable elements may be a fuse, an anti-fuse or a one-time programmable Flash cell. Preferably there are three inputs to the logic device and three one time programmable elements. The electronic memory may be implemented as an integrated circuit, whilst the logic device may be implemented in hardware or software. The reprogrammable electronic memory may be used to allow limited reprogramming of a non volatile memory device or to allow limited repeat device testing. In one embodiment the value of the memory is high immediately after manufacturing allowing testing. Post testing, the element is altered, the memory value goes low and test mode is denied. The second element may be altered (memory high), if the device is returned by a customer for repair or maintenance, allowing access to the test mode. The third element is then processed disabling test mode prior to return of the device.

Title: Location system
Inventor: SPENCE CHRISTOPHER ROBERT
IPC: G01S15/93
Filed: 2013-07-04
Abstract: An object is located with respect to a radar, sonar or lidar (ladar) sensor, or the sensor is located with respect to the object, by means of using some of the sensor data to hypothesise a plurality of candidate sensor or target locations, and determining which hypothesised location gives rise to a best fit between other sensor data and an a priori model of the object. The object may be augmented with spherical reflectors of two different sizes that return the sensor signal back towards the sensor so that the object can be more easily detected by the sensor; the reflectors are arranged in an a priori known pattern on the object, to help identify both the location and the orientation of the object with respect to the sensor. Sensor returns may be filtered based on their relative or absolute received signal strength, or the relative positions of their targets. In the preferred embodiment, the sensor is a sonar, mounted on an unmanned underwater vehicle, and the object is a cage (garage) for the UUV; the relative positions may be used to control the UUV.

Title: Transforming rules into generalised rules in a rule management system
Inventor: JUNKER ULRICH MARTIN
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2013-12-18
Abstract: A method and system are provided for transforming an original set of rules into a resulting set of generalised rules in a rule management system. The method includes providing an original set of rules stored in a data structure, and automated processing of the original set of rules by building a compact description of one or more rules in the original set of rules and their actions in the form of logical constraints, and solving constraints to find a solution that represents a case and an applied action. A family of cases is then built by taking all logical tests or their negation that are satisfied by the solution, and generalising the family of cases by removal of specific logical tests which do not apply to the action, resulting in a most-general rule (ms1) which is added to the resulting set of rules. The automated process is iterated, where the step of building a compact description of one or more rules in the original set of rules excludes 404 any rules in the original set of rules which are addressed by the resulting set of rules (ms1). The rules may be business rules.
