Patent GB-2532628-A (GB)
Title: Lock
Inventor: TIMOTHY CHRISTOPHER FINN
IPC: E05B63/20
Filed: 2014-07-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a lock having a bolt (7), fitted to a door (1) that can move between a closed position and an open position. When the door is in the closed position, the lock bolt projects into a recess in the door frame (10) to lock the door. The bolt (7) can be moved into a retracted position by a key- or a knob- operated lock cylinder (57) to unlock the door. The lock has a holdback (30) for holding the bolt in its unlocked position after the key has been removed, thereby allowing the door to be opened without the user having to keep it open. The lock also has a lock actuator (6, 20) that releases the bolt from the holdback as the door is closed and the bolt is then projected by a spring (51) into the recess to lock the closed door. The lock actuator includes a trigger bar (6) that is separate from the bolt (7) to release the bolt from its retracted position when the door is closed. Such a trigger bar (6) is biased by a spring (12) so that it projects out of the lock when the door is opened but is forced back into the lock by the surrounding door frame (8) when the door is closed. It is the latter action that releases the bolt (7) from its retracted position and it is held in its retracted position from the time that it is withdrawn by the lock. The trigger bar (6) is connected to a central operating mechanism (20) which is connected to the bolt (7) via a spring (51) such that when the trigger bar (6) is retracted as when it meets the strike plate (9) the bolt (7) is forced forwards via the spring (51). The springs (12 and 51) are arranged together with the central operating mechanism (20) such that when a backwards force is removed from trigger bar (6) it projects forwards thus retracting the bolt (7) backwards.

Title: Task scheduling in a GPU
Inventor: Simon Nield
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2016-09-23
Abstract: This application aims to provide an improved method for scheduling tasks in a graphics processing unit. The method has two parts. In the first part 400, a task scheduling engine selects a task type by identifying a candidate, or valid, task type 402, based on wakeup event state data, and the contents of a task queue. It then selects one of the candidate task types 404. In the second part 401, the task scheduling engine selects a task of the given type by first identifying the oldest non-executing task of that type 406. It then checks whether or not all of that tasks dependent task have been completed, or met 408. If they have not it clears the wakeup event state data for that tasks task type ID so that it will not be selected again until its dependences are met 412. If its dependencies have been met, then the task is selected for execution and sent to a processing block to be executed. Its state data in the task queue is set to indicate that this has happened 410.

Title: Pressure equalizing valve insensitive to setting depth and tubing pressure differentials
Inventor: SAMUEL C KUCERA
IPC: E21B34/10
Filed: 2016-09-07
Abstract: An equalizer valve is hydraulically operated by a pair of control lines running from a remote location such as a well surface. The use of control lines to make a mandrel or piston move in opposed directions removes the need for a spring or compressed gas to act as a spring against the anticipated hydrostatic force in a single control line system that is dependent on setting depth. The equalizer valve with its pair of control lines is insensitive to setting depth. Three seals on the mandrel are used to move the mandrel with the two control lines in opposed directions and to apply a net force to the mandrel. The seal applying the net closure force is exposed to a low or atmospheric chamber to make the second seal operate reliably using a large differential.
