Title: Memory security for automotive functional safety compliance with independent downstream processes
Inventor: ERIC A WOLF
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2019-01-24
Abstract: A single memory space of a device such as pressure sensor 120 (figure 1) having a dedicated functionality is partitioned to provide separate memory partitions 208, 210 for access by different processes along a production stream, wherein partition boundaries are determined by the data storage requirements of the specific process.

Title: Sample ionisation using a pulsed laser source
Inventor: PAUL MURRAY
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2019-02-07
Abstract: A mass and/or ion mobility spectrometer comprises a sample plate that supports a target sample and a pulsed laser source. A control system moves a focal point of the laser source substantially continuously across the sample plate (e.g. without stopping). Respective packets of ions (300, 306) are generated by respective laser pulses impinging upon respective locations (312, 318) on the target sample. Plural cycles of ion analysis (e.g. during cycle times T1) are performed such that each produce a set of spectral data corresponding to packets of ions (300, 306). In between cycles of ion analysis during inter-cycle time T0, residual ions may be removed from the spectrometer to avoid cross-talk, and the laser pulse may be gated to prevent sample wastage and reduce sublimation of the matrix material. The invention may increase the speed and efficiency of the spectrometry by avoiding moving the focal point in a stop-start manner during MALDI imaging.

Title: Variable configurations of NFRP RU tone sets in wireless networks
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2019-07-04
Abstract: A flexible NDP (null-data-packet) Feedback Report Poll, NFRP, procedure is proposed where an Access Point, AP, can adjust the granularity of the possible answers to a given question. The NFRP trigger frame includes a tone set configuration indication representative of a number of tone groups per Resource Unit, RU, tone set. The number of possible FEEDBACK_STATUS values consequently also varies, making it possible for the AP to poll the stations for more detailed feedback reports. A station determines which FEEDBACK_STATUS values are available, calculates its FEEDBACK_STATUS value and retrieves the corresponding subset of tone groups on which energy must be sent. Due to the multiples existing tone set configurations, the station also determines the tones forming the subset to be activated, based on the tone set configuration indication. The station can then properly send its feedback report response by activating (emitting energy on) the appropriate tunes and therefore the appropriate tone groups. The tone set configuration indication is included in a Trigger Dependent Common Info field of a Common Info field of the NFRP trigger frame according to Draft 4.1 of IEEE 802.11ax.
