Patent GB-2526815-A (GB)
Title: A cooling system for an internal combustion engine
Inventor: MORENA JOAQUIN DE LA
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 2014-06-03
Abstract: A low temperature cooling system 600 is for an internal combustion engine 110. The system comprises a coolant circuit 605 having a coolant pump 610, low temperature radiator 615, charged-air cooler (intercooler) 260 and a long-path exhaust gas recirculation cooler (LP-EGR cooler) 310. The intercooler is downstream of the radiator and the LP-EGR cooler is downstream of the intercooler and upstream of the radiator. A diesel exhaust fluid injector cooler (DEF cooler) 284 is preferably disposed between the intercooler and the LP-EGR cooler. Placement of the intercooler before the LP-EGR cooler results in coolant being preheated by the intercooler before reaching the LP-EGR cooler, preventing overcooling of exhaust gases by the LP-EGR cooler and formation of condensate in an LP-EGR conduit (305, figure 1) that may damage a compressor (240, figure 1) of a turbocharger (230, figure 1). Ideally an electronic control unit (ECU) 450 maintains the temperature of coolant entering an inlet 311 of the LP-EGR cooler between 45 and 55 centigrade by regulating coolant mass-flow rate using the pump. A coolant temperature sensor 620 and a determination of the mass flow-rate of air through the intercooler and air temperature gradient across the intercooler may also be used.

Title: Parallel lookup in first and second valve stores
Inventor: SKILLMAN ALLAN JOHN
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2014-06-11
Abstract: A cache 2 can receive addresses from two channels in parallel. The cache has two tag memories. The main tag memory 10 contains tags for all entries in the cache. A micro-tag array 22 is smaller than the main tag array and holds a proper subset of its entries. If two addresses are received simultaneously, one is looked up in the main tag array and the other is looked up in the micro-tag array. If a miss is detected in the micro-tag array, then the address may be looked up in the main tag array. A tag may be stored in the micro-tag array in the event of a miss in the main tag array. The read latency of the micro-tag array may be lower than that of the main tag array by at least a clock cycle.

Title: Image compression method and technical equipment for the same
Inventor: PAYMAN AFLAKI BENI
IPC: H04N19/597
Filed: 2016-06-21
Abstract: A most probable viewing direction in a content, such as for a 360 degrees image, is determined. The content is segmented based on distance between pixels of the content, and the determined most probable viewing direction (MPVD). The segments are encoded with different qualities, wherein the lightest encoding is applied to a segment that is closest to the determined most probable viewing direction. The heavier encoding can mean greater compression which results in lower quality in the less likely viewing directions. This results in less of a bandwidth requirement. A multi-camera device (figures 4a-b) may be used to capture the content and a head movement tracker and eye gaze tracker may be used to ascertain the MPVD. The segments may be a particular kind of shape based on how the content has been created.

The proximity interaction event may be determined based on location data such as from GPS, short-range communication such as Bluetooth or NFC, correlated accelerometer data, or by one device scanning a barcode displayed on the other device. Alternatively, these events may be determined using a machine learning system which receives time, location and demographic data as its input. The messages may be sent anonymously, and in an exemplary embodiment may be used to alert previous sexual partners to the possibility of STD infection. The system may determine a risk profile for a user based on the number of previous proximity interaction events.
