Title: Combining states of multiple threads in a multi-threaded processor
Inventor: Simon Christian Knowles
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2017-10-20
Abstract: A simultaneous multi-threaded processor has multiple register sets for different thread contexts and a scheduler to allocate time slots to different threads. The instruction set of the processor includes an exit instruction, which terminates the execution of the current thread. The exit instruction contains an exit state parameter. An exit state register aggregates the exit states of threads. The register may be a single bit and the exit state may be aggregated using a logical and operation or a logical or operation. The exit instruction may return control to a supervisor thread. The processor may also have a relinquish instruction to return control to the supervisor thread without terminating the thread. The processor may have multiple cores, which share a global exit state register. This value may be copied back to each core. In this case, the processor may also have a barrier synchronisation instruction to synchronise the cores.

Title: Recycling of infusion capsules
Inventor: LESLIE ALEXANDER GORT-BARTEN
IPC: B65B69/00
Filed: 2019-08-29
Abstract: A device for separating infusion capsules 34 comprises a base unit 10 and a plunger 44, the base unit having a face with an aperture 26 for receiving a body part of the capsule, wherein a portion of the face surrounding the aperture has a surface that undulates (66, 68 Fig 1) in a longitudinal direction relative to a central axis through the aperture; the plunger comprising a projection sized to fit within the aperture. A capsule can be placed, rim side down, on the base unit over the aperture, and the plunger used to urge the capsule down into the aperture. Upstanding ridges 28, 30 may be provided. The result is that the capsule inverts, rupturing the foil layer and emptying the coffee or other infusion into the base unit below the aperture. The coffee (etc) and the capsule can then be removed for separate recycling. The undulating surface ensures that the rim section of the capsule is distorted during this process, which assists in separating any layers that have been provided for example by way of sealant.

Title: Enhancing antiviral capabilities of rail vehicles and air filter
Inventor: Domenico Palmisano
IPC: B61L27/00
Filed: 2020-08-20
Abstract: An air filter 10 for an air treatment system has a structure 11 of antiviral material 13 comprising silver (e.g. silver sulphide particles) and liposomes. Ideally the structure is porous, cellular and/or fire-retardant and may be impregnated with the antiviral material. The filter may be used in an air conditioning or HVAC system of a rail vehicle. The liposomes, i.e. vesicle vessels, may line-up alongside a virus (e.g. coronavirus) and deplete the viral membrane of its cholesterol, permitting the silver to inactivate the virus rapidly. Methods for mitigating viral spread on a rail vehicle are also claimed. One method comprises determining whether a passenger number and/or virus concentration on the rail vehicle has reached a critical condition (i.e. threshold) using a sensor and prompting a countermeasure to prevent further increase in passenger number if the condition is reached. The other method comprises operating an air treatment system of a rail vehicle that treats air volumes supplied to a passenger compartment in an anti-infection mode that ideally comprises heating the air treatment system to 200 degrees Celsius or reducing the proportion of air that is recirculated by the system whilst increasing the volume of fresh ambient air.
