Title: Sensor comprising reusable portion and disposable portion releasably magnetically connected to each other
Inventor: LAMEGO MARCELO
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2012-07-19
Abstract: A magnetic reusable sensor is configured to attach to a tissue site to illuminate the tissue site with optical radiation and detect the optical radiation after attenuation by pulsatile blood flow within the tissue site. The sensor is configured to communicate with a monitor so as to calculate a physiological parameter corresponding to constituents of the pulsatile blood flow determined by the detected optical radiation. The sensor has a reusable emitter 600 and a detector 800. A disposable wrap strip 530 removably secures the emitter and the detector to a tissue site. The reusable portion magnetically attaches to the disposable portion via magnetically enhanced receptacles fixedly mounted on the wrap and magnetically enhanced carriers housing the emitter and the detector. Also disclosed is a sensor comprising a fixed portion and a removable portion which magnetically attach to each other, and wherein the removable sensor portion comprises a memory element electrically connected to a reader in a sensor processor via a conductor in a connector disposed on the fixed sensor portion. A plurality of mounts may be disposed on the fixed and removable sensor portions and a conductive coil may be disposed around at least one of the mounts so as to release the mounts when the coil is electrically activated.
Patent GB-2505002-A (GB)
Title: Monitoring buffer capacity when transferring data between domains using different clock signals
Inventor: KULMALA ARI TAPANI
IPC: G06F1/12
Filed: 2012-08-17
Abstract: Data is written from a first domain 117, which uses a first clock signal CLK1, to a FIFO memory buffer 105 in a second domain 119, which uses a second clock signal CLK2. The memory buffer operates using the first clock signal, which is delivered alongside the data. The data is read 115 from the memory buffer using the second clock signal, and a read pointer is adjusted and synchronised 109 with the delivered first clock signal. A token is generated 111, using the first clock signal and based on the read pointer, representing a capacity of the memory buffer having been made available. The token is then passed to the first domain and synchronised with the first clock signal. The writing of data to the memory buffer is controlled based on a comparison between the synchronised token and a previously received token. This enables the system to avoid underflow or overflow in the buffer, with minimal delay in receiving warning of such events.

Title: Storage class memory having low power, low latency, and high capacity
Inventor: CHU FRANK R
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2013-09-26
Abstract: Direct attached dual in line memory (DIMM) card 102 contains dynamic random access memory (DRAM) 104, at least one of non-volatile memory 105-108 and a processor 110 selectively allocating data among the DRAM and the non-volatile memories based on the data set size. Such hybrid arrangement has low power and high capacity because of the non-volatile memories, such as solid-state memories, while low latency is obtained by distributing data-sets according to their size. Smaller data sets are placed in DRAM, medium sized data in phase change memory (PCM) 105, and large data-sets in NAND flash 108. Data-sets can also be straddled by partitioning them across different memory technologies. Data writes can involve buffering to DRAM, sending the data to the NAND flash 108, and then a selective migration among the memories. Other non volatile memories can include resistive RAM (ReRAM) 106 and spin transfer torque RAM (STT-RAM) 107.

Inventor: MARQUESS PAUL
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2013-10-21
Abstract: A system for modifying messages having an archive file format in a communications network. The system comprises receiving 400, at a first network device, a message sent from a second network device for receipt by a third network device, selectively modifying 404, at the first network device, content of the received message that is in an archive file format based on a determination 402 that the content can be optimised, and sending the received message with the optimised content to the third network device. For example, the received message having the archive file format may comprise a container for an electronic file and the optimising may comprise identifying at least one field of the container for removal from the container, such as a field for reserving additional bytes to allow a part of the container to be expanded. Alternatively, the optimising may comprise determining that the content is uncompressed and compressing the content, or determining that the content has been compressed but can be more efficiently compressed.

Title: Image processing
Inventor: BICKERSTAFF IAN HENRY
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2014-07-29
Abstract: Image processing for a head-mounted display (HMD) using an image generated based on an initial user head position and/or orientation and wherein a current head position/orientation is detected at a time when the image is to be displayed and pixel position mapping is used to displace respective pixels or pixel subsets based on the difference between the initial and current head position/orientation. Lateral pixel displacement may occur due to horizontal head rotation (turning the head left/right) and vertical pixel displacement due to vertical rotation (up/down gaze or viewpoint). Lateral pixel manipulation may differ for two or more subsets of rows of pixel with greater lateral displacement for pixel subsets towards a vertical centre of the image than for pixel subsets towards a top or bottom of the image. Pixel displacements may be a function of pixel position in the image and the initial/current difference in head viewpoint. The generated image may be distorted to compensate for the optics of the HMD. The present invention uses an approximation of image re-projection using pixel mapping which requires less processing power than full image regeneration or full geometrical reprojection.

Title: Method and system of registering and authenticating a user of an online system
Inventor: JONATHAN GEOFFREY MILTON CRAYMER
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2014-11-06
Abstract: The present invention provides advantageous methods and systems for registering and authenticating a user of an online service using pattern authentication secrets, typically a memorable identification pattern within a matrix of elements. The methods and systems are beneficial over similar methods and systems according to the prior art in that they utilize a pre-defined user key in order to improve security and in order to improve the speed by which a user can be authenticated. The pre defined user key may comprise an indication of the location of elements within the matrix. In particular, the method differs from the prior art in that when a user registers with an online service and generates their pattern authentication secret a pre-defined user key is also generated. Subsequently, when the user wishes to be authenticated that pre-defined user key is utilised to decipher the users pattern authentication secret.

Title: Handling exceptional conditions for vector arithmetic instruction
Inventor: NIGEL JOHN STEPHENS
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2015-10-22
Abstract: Processing circuitry (30, 35 in Figure 1, such as SIMD) supports a first type of vector arithmetic instruction specifying at least a first input vector Za. When at least one exceptional condition is detected for an arithmetic operation performed for a first active data element X0 of the first input vector in a predetermined sequence, the processing circuitry performs at least one response action. When the at least one exceptional condition is detected for a given active data element other than the first active data element, such as X3, the processing circuitry suppresses or prevents the at least one response action and stores element identifying information identifying which data element is the given active data element which triggered the exceptional condition (first faulting register 79 in Figure 5, which may then provide a predicate mask Pg for a subsequent execution attempt, as shown in Figure 6). This facilitates reducing the amount of hardware resource for tracking the occurrence of the exceptional conditions and/or supporting speculative execution of vector instructions.
