Patent GB-2521119-A (GB)
Title: Indication device
Inventor: CAMPBELL JAMES GORDON
IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 2013-10-30
Abstract: An indication device (dip strip) for providing a visual indication of the presence of a substance in a material such as urine, comprises a carrier with an active ingredient which changes colour when brought into contact with the substance, the active ingredient being provided on a first part only of the surface of the carrier, with a part of the surface surrounding the first part being coloured such that a change in colour of the active ingredient due to the presence of the substance provides a visual contrast with the surrounding parts of the surface. The device enables the change in colour due to the presence of the substance to be seen more easily against the carrier background.

Title: Techniques for freeing renamed registers
Inventor: SCHON GUILLAUME
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2013-12-23
Abstract: Register renaming circuitry for a processing apparatus, the processing apparatus being configured to process a stream of instructions from an instruction set, the instructions specifying registers from an architectural set of registers, the processing apparatus comprising a physical set of registers configured to store data values being processed by the processing apparatus. The register renaming circuitry(34, 46) is configured to receive a stream of operations from an instruction decoder (32) within the processing apparatus and to map registers that are to be written to by the stream of operations to physical registers (37, 47) within the physical set of registers that are currently available. The register renaming circuitry is configured to identify additional registers that are registers that are to be written to by the operations that are not from the architectural set of registers. The register renaming circuitry comprises register release circuitry for releasing physical registers that have been mapped such that they are available for register renaming. The register release circuitry is configured to release the physical registers that have been mapped to the registers from the set of architectural registers when a first set of conditions have been met, and to release the physical registers that have been mapped to the additional registers (Fig 1) when a second set of conditions have been met, at least some of the conditions within the first set of conditions being different to the conditions within the second set of conditions.

Title: Using frequency diversity to detect objects
Inventor: WHELAN DAVID A
IPC: G01S13/04
Filed: 2014-03-06
Abstract: Technologies for detecting a passive object through the use of frequency diversity to find at least a resonant peak are disclosed. For example, a radar system 102 may illuminate a suspect area 106 with a pulsed radio wave 108 based on a large number of frequency bands and based on parameters associated with the passive object. The reflected radio wave 112 may be processed to generate synthetic aperture radar (SAR) maps associated with the frequency bands. The SAR maps may be analyzed and compared to determine large deviation amplitudes or a retroreflection that may indicate a location of the passive object 110. The range resolution may be determined based on a dimension of a passive target, which in turn then affects the determination of the number of frequency bands and their interval, based on a predetermined frequency diversity.

Title: Data dependent control of the intensity of ions separated in multiple dimensions
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN RAYMOND
IPC: H01J49/26
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises separating or filtering according to two physico-chemical properties (e.g. ion mobility and mass to charge ratio) to obtain a multi-dimensional array of data. If the most intense ion peak within a selected subset of the multi-dimensional array of data would cause saturation of the ion detection system, then the ionisation efficiency of an ion source, an attenuation factor of an attenuation device or a gain of an ion detector system is adjusted. The adjustment alters the intensity of all ions detected substantially equally and irrespective of the mass to charge ratio of the ions. Mass spectral data is then obtained and the intensity of the mass spectral data scaled based upon the degree of adjustment. By using a selected subset of the data, the invention excludes background matrix ions from dominating the calculation of attenuation required and ensures that the correct signal attenuation is applied for target species.

Title: Methods and apparatus for storing content
Inventor: SMART ROBERT
IPC: G06F21/78
Filed: 2014-03-27
Abstract: Receiving first data from a functional block having a virtual buffer, said first data having a virtual (or logical) address in said virtual buffer which is contiguous with the virtual address of second data. The first data is encrypted using at least one key which is dependent on virtual address information associated with said virtual buffer; before being written to a location in physical memory which is non-contiguous to the location of the second data in the physical memory. There is a similar process, in reverse, for reading and decrypting data from non-contiguous physical memory using contiguous virtual addressing. A windowed ciphering block specifies a range of addresses in the virtual address space. Two windowed ranges allows ping-pong use. The invention may be used in set top boxes with Secure Data Path (SDP), Compartment ID (CID) and Compartment Aware Filters (CAF).

Title: Data storage resource assignment
Inventor: PIERRE SABLONIERE
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2014-12-19
Abstract: Storage resources, such as disc drives, are allocated to storage pools. Each pool contains different tiers of storage devices with different performance characteristics. A gap analysis is performed on each tier of each pool to determine if it has excess capacity or excess demand. The effect of switching storage resources from a tier of one pool to the same tier of another pool is modeled. If the modeling determines an improved arrangement of storage resources, the resources are switched accordingly. The resources may be switched if the improvement is greater than a threshold. The analysis may be performed periodically. In this case, the resources are only switched if the repeated analyses show an improvement.
