Title: Data Processing
Inventor: DANCER COLIN TREGENZA
IPC: H04L49/9023
Filed: 2013-08-28
Abstract: In a telecommunications network including a user device and a network node separated by at least a packet-switched part 306 of the network, the user device including a primary jitter buffer 308 having a constant packet play-out rate and the network node including a secondary jitter buffer 312, incoming packets 318 destined for the user device are received and passed through the secondary jitter buffer of the network node downstream towards the primary jitter buffer of the user device. The departure times of packets passing through the secondary jitter buffer are monitored, and on the basis of the monitoring and one or more known characteristics of the primary jitter buffer, an estimate of a current state of the primary jitter buffer is maintained, e.g. the fullness of the primary jitter buffer. Operation of the secondary jitter buffer is dynamically controlled according to the maintained estimate.

Title: Sonar arrays
Inventor: MILLER ROBERT JAMES
IPC: G01S3/808
Filed: 2014-03-17
Abstract: In a passive sonar array the signals from the outputs of sound receiving elements 101-10m are analysed to look for discrete tones corresponding to separate targets or objects of interest in a monitored scene. The tones will be a frequency component in the received signal which corresponds to the objects of interest. Having identified a plurality of n tones, the tones in the signal from each sound receiving element are filtered 141-14n; 241-24n etc. and fed to separate beamformers 161-16n which enable the bearings of each target to be estimated. The selection of the signal portions which correspond to the filtered frequency components can be done in parallel for more efficient processing and object position determination, or can be done sequentially.

Title: Assigning primitives to tiles in a graphics processing system
Inventor: YANG XILE
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2014-06-17
Abstract: A tiling unit assigning primitives to tiles in a graphics processing system which has a rendering space subdivided into a plurality of tiles. A primitive is assigned to a tile by including a primitive ID of the primitive in a display list for the tile. If a primitive or a mesh of primitives entirely covers a tile such that all of the previous primitives in the tile are obscured (i.e. hidden) then a start pointer of the display list can be moved to thereby skip the obscured primitives. In this way, a hidden surface removal (HSR) module will not fetch the primitives which would ultimately be hidden by the primitive or the mesh which entirely covers the region. This method therefore reduces the number of primitives which are fetched by the HSR module.
