Title: Common priority information for multiple resource arbitration
Inventor: JONAS OLOF GUNNAR KÄLLÉN
IPC: G06F13/362
Filed: 2018-03-23
Abstract: A computer system has requestors, such as processors, which access resources, such as memories. Each resource can be accessed by a single requestor in each cycle. To determine which requestor should access the resource in a cycle, priority information is generated for each resource. This may be a bit for each requestor, which is set if the requestor has priority. If a requestor with priority was selected in the last cycle, the information indicates all the higher order requestors have priority in this cycle. If a requestor without priority was selected, it indicates that all the other requestors have priority in this cycle. This priority information is then modified by clearing each bit for a requestor, which did not request access to the resource on the previous cycle. The priority information for the resources is combined using a logical or operation. If one or more requestors with priority are active in the next cycle, then the lowest ordered such requestor is granted access. Otherwise, the highest ordered requestor, requesting access, is granted access.

Title: A computer implemented method of generating a parametric structural design model
Inventor: SHAWN O'KEEFFE
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2020-05-26
Abstract: This invention relates to a computer implemented method of generating a parametric structural design model from a built structure, a computer program product and an apparatus for performing the method. The computer implemented method comprises the steps of receiving a point cloud (PC) representation of the built structure and thereafter generating a plurality of planes from the PC. Planes that are representative of objects to be included in the model are stored in memory while other planes that are not representative of objects to be included are discarded. The properties of the objects included in the parametric structural design model are retrieved from an Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard and the parametric structural design model is generated with the chosen planes and the properties of those objects from the IFC standard. In this way, the generation of the model is more efficient and less computationally burdensome than was heretofore the case.

Title: Monitoring misalignment of coupled rotary members
Inventor: VLADIMIR GVINIASHVILI
IPC: G01P3/481
Filed: 2020-07-16
Abstract: An apparatus 100 for monitoring alignment of a rotary coupling comprises a rotatable component of the rotary coupling having a rotation axis and a tangential surface carrying a marker region 150 and a signal provider 130 for providing a first signal indicating presence of the marker region at a first reference coordinate 133. The first reference coordinate defines a location with respect to a preferred axis of rotation of the rotatable component. The marker region is bounded by an axial datum edge aligned with the rotation axis of the rotatable component and a circumferential datum edge which extends circumferentially along the tangential surface. The axial extent of the marker region varies along the circumferential datum edge so that, during rotation of the rotatable component, a time between: (i) passing of the first reference coordinate by the axial datum edge; and (ii) passing of the first reference coordinate by the circumferential datum edge, indicates the axial position of the marker region. The signal provider may be a laser or other illumination source or optical detector.

Title: Method for generating control signals for an image capture device
Inventor: YACINE EL KOLLI
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2021-01-22
Abstract: Clock signals are generated for an image capture device (e.g. camera) 110 using a communication device 111 with two slave time generators (a,b) associated with respective clocks 201a, 201b. The first clock is synchronised with a first remote time server, and used to generate a control signal. Upon detecting a loss of synchronisation between the first slave time generator and the first time server, the second clock is instead used, which is synchronised with a second remote time server. The first and second time servers may be different, or may be a same time server. After loss of synchronisation is detected, the first clock may be synchronised with the second time server. The control signals may be generated according to an SMPTE 2059 standard. A slave time generator may be connected to multiple time severs, and may select one of them for synchronisation according to a predefined set of rules.

Title: Anisotropic texture filtering
Inventor: ROSTAM KING
IPC: G06T15/04
Filed: 2021-07-26
Abstract: A method of performing anisotropic texture filtering. The method includes generating one or more parameters describing an elliptical footprint in texture space, performing isotropic filtering at each sampling point of a set of sampling points in an ellipse to be sampled to produce a plurality of isotropic filter results with the ellipse to be sampled being based on the elliptical footprint. Weights of an anisotropic filter are then selected, based on one or more parameters of the set of sampling points and one or more parameters of the ellipse to be sampled with the weights being selected to minimize a cost function that penalises high frequencies in the filter response of the anisotropic filter under a constraint that the variance of the anisotropic filter is related to an anisotropic ratio squared, the anisotropic ratio being the ratio of a major radius of the ellipse to be sampled and a minor axis of the ellipse to be sampled. The plurality of isotropic filter results are then combined using the selected weights of the anisotropic filter to generate at least a portion of a filter result.
