Title: Detection of lane-splitting motorcycles
Inventor: Jinesh J Jain
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2016-10-21
Abstract: A controller for an autonomous vehicle receives audio streams from one or more microphones and one or more image streams from one or more cameras. The audio streams are processed to identify audio features that potentially correspond to a motorcycle. The video streams are likewise processed to identify image objects that have movement and/or visual attributes corresponding to a motorcycle. The audio features and image objects are correlated. If a correlation is identified among the audio features and image objects, then a potentially lane-splitting motorcycle (lane filtering, white lining, lane sharing, stripe riding) may be determined to be nearby. A confidence score mat be assigned to the determination. Actions may be taken to avoid collision with the lane-splitting motorcycle, such as avoiding lane changes, signaling longer, or performing lane changes more slowly. A radar, lidar and/or sonar may be incorporated.

Inventor: KEITH MARSHALL
IPC: A61B34/30
Filed: 2016-12-09
Abstract: A surgical robot arm extending between a base and a terminal link. The terminal link is connected the robot arm by a joint which permits the terminal link to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the terminal link. The terminal link comprises a drive assembly 2100 having a first drive assembly interface element 2102 for driving a first instrument interface element of a surgical instrument when the robot arm engages the surgical instrument. The first drive assembly interface element 2102 is engageable with the first instrument interface element on the longitudinal axis 2104 of the terminal link. The first drive assembly interface element 2102 is linearly displaceable along the longitudinal axis 2104 of the terminal link, so driving the first instrument interface element along the longitudinal axis 2104. The first drive assembly interface element 2102 may be configured to drive an articulation of the robotic surgical instrument for articulating an end effector, the first drive element 2102 being linearly displaceable along the longitudinal axis of the terminal link drives the end effector to rotate about an end effector axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the terminal link.

Abstract: Radio network audio capture and analysis for connectivity and operation, in particular for combat radio networks voice communications (such as Combat-Net Radio (CNR)). Voice communications between a number of radio units (or nodes) (120) across a radio network are collected and audio analytics are applied to the communications to determine connectivity measures (or properties) between radio units of the network, and the time evolution of said measures. The radio units may be deployed in a field exercise in a specific geographical locale, with each radio unit being operable to transmit and receive messages (140) as audio signals over the radio network. The method may comprise: recording, at each of one or more transmitting radio units of the plurality of radio units, respective transmitted audio signals for messages transmitted from the transmitting radio unit, recording, at each of one or more receiving radio units of the plurality of radio units, respective received audio signals for messages received by the receiving radio unit, and identifying, for each transmitted audio signal, the received audio signals for messages common to the transmitted audio signal and the received messages to thereby generate one or more measures of connectivity between radio units of the plurality.

Title: Method of determining NOx and NH3 output from a lean NOx trap (LNT)
Inventor: MICHAEL PARMENTIER
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2017-12-21
Abstract: A vehicle exhaust system (1, fig 1) includes a sensor (6, fig 1) downstream of a Lean NOx Trap (LNT) (2, fig 1). The sensor is responsive to both NOx and ammonia (NH3) and gives an output signal (7, fig 3) indicative of the level of both NH3 and NOx. During a first period, the NOx output is assumed to be the level indicated by the sensor, and the NH3 output is assumed to be zero. A first time point (14, fig 3) subsequent to an LNT regeneration cycle is determined, where the NOx output is estimated to be zero and the NH3 output is estimated to be the level indicated by the sensor. A second time point is determined, whereafter the NOx output is assumed to be the level indicated by the sensor and the NH3 output is assumed to be zero. This method corrects the NOx signal from the sensor to stop overloading of a downstream SCR (5, fig 1) with NH3.

Title: Parameter signature for realm security configuration parameters
Inventor: NICHOLAS WOOD
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2018-10-19
Abstract: A data processing system uses realms to protect data. Each realm is a portion of a software process, a software process or a group of software processes. Memory regions are associated with realms and a realm controls which other realms have access to its memory regions. When a realm is activated, security parameters are used to determine the security configuration of the realm. The parameters are signed with a private key. The signature is validated by verifying that it has been signed with the same key as is used to protect data associated with the realm being activated. If the signature is invalid, the activation of the realm may be prevented. Alternatively, if the signature is invalid, the realm may be prevented from accessing a private key associated with the realm. The parameters may include a realm type, a protected address range, an indication about whether debugging is allowed, an indication of whether data can be exported from one memory region to another and key information,
