Title: Aircraft vapour trail control system
Inventor: SWANN PETER
IPC: F02C9/42
Filed: 2014-04-02
Abstract: The invention concerns an aircraft propulsion control system in which multiple gas turbine engines 10 are under the control of a controller 30. One or more sensor 20 is arranged to sense a condition indicative of vapour trail formation by an exhaust flow from one or more of the engines. The controller is arranged to be responsive to a thrust demand 51 for the aircraft and to control the thrust produced by each of the engines concurrently so as to alter the efficiency of the engines upon sensing of the vapour trail formation condition. The controller may output a separate throttle control signal 35 to each engine. The total thrust produced by the plurality of engines may equal the thrust demand, wherein each engine contributes a different proportion to the total thrust. The controller may be arranged to vary the thrust level of each engine to suppress contrail formation only during one or more of; aircraft cruise conditions, passage through a region of ice super saturated air and/or night.

Title: Data processing systems
Inventor: NYSTAD J RN
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2014-06-16
Abstract: A data processing system includes an execution pipeline that includes one or more programmable execution stages which execute execution threads to execute instructions to perform data processing operations. Instructions to be executed by a thread or thread group are first fetched into an instruction cache 57 and then read from the instruction cache for execution by the thread or thread group. When an instruction to be executed by a thread or thread group 50, 54 is present in a cache line 53, 56 in the instruction cache, or is to be fetched into an allocated cache line in the instruction cache, a pointer 52, 55 to the location of the instruction in the instruction cache is stored for the thread or thread group. This stored pointer is then used to retrieve the instruction for execution by the thread or thread group from the instruction cache. Also provided is a data processing system which stores in the instruction cache an indication of where in the instruction cache the instructions that immediately precede and/or follow the instructions in the cache line are stored (170, 171 in Figure 10); this may be implemented as a doubly linked list.

Title: Demodulation
Inventor: Eivind Sjøgren Olsen
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-12-05
Abstract: A radio receiver comprises: synchronisation circuit 28 utilising synchronisation information of a received packet; demodulation circuit 22 including correlator 30, which receives radio signal 10 and estimates the included address portion 38; address checking circuit 26 receives the demodulated bits and checks for a predetermined bit pattern, and produces a match flag 42 if it determines that they correspond to the predetermined bit pattern (i.e. that the packet received is intended for this receiver according to the address portion). Upon detecting an upcoming timeout event, the demodulation circuit 22 sends a timeout warning signal to the address checking circuit 26 using a handshaking channel 46 there between; if address checking circuit 26 receives the timeout warning signal it stops checking the plurality of demodulated bits for the predetermined bit pattern. This avoids hanging in the receiver wherein the front-end 22 has timed out but the back-end 26 is still expecting data. In a second embodiment the address checking circuit is arranged to produce a match flag if the demodulated bits correspond to a predetermined bit pattern (i.e. expected address) and a predetermined minimum number of demodulated bits corresponding to the estimate of the data packet have been received.
