Title: High definition image generation from low definition representation
Inventor: WILLIAMS AARON PAUL
IPC: G06T17/40
Filed: 2007-04-05
Abstract: High definition image data, e.g. of a retail product, is generated at a server. High definition three-dimensional data sets are developed e.g. for each of a plurality of retail products. A low definition 3D data file is produced from each of the high definition sets such that each high definition set has an associated low definition data file. A request (<B>701</B>) is received from a remote client for a low definition file and the file is supplied (<B>702</B>) so that a client may view a three-dimensional representation (<B>703</B>) of the selected product. Viewing data (<B>705</B>) is received from the client in response to manipulating (<B>704</B>) a viewed representation. A high definition two-dimensional image is rendered (<B>710</B>) in response to the viewing data and the stored high definition data set. The rendered image is stored at the server (<B>711</B>), transmitted to the client (<B>712</B>) and transmitted to a publishing facility (<B>714</B>).

Title: Cache memory with tag memory bypass circuit
Inventor: CHIBA SATOSHI
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2007-10-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a cache memory with a four (4) stage pipeline that can be arranged between a processor and a low-speed memory. The processor requests data from the cache memory using an input address (which splits into a tag address (which is loaded into a latch circuit) and an index address). The cache memory comprises two main data stores: a data memory to store a subset of data corresponding to the low-speed memory and a tag memory to hold tag address corresponding to the data stored in the data memory. It also comprises a hit decision unit which is used to decide whether there has been a cache hit or a cache miss. This is done by comparing tag addresses acquired by searching the tag memory using the processor supplied index address with the tag address supplied in the input address. Further, it has a bypass circuit which can be used to supply the tag address held in the latch circuit direct to the hit decision unit. On a cache miss, a controller is configured to update the tag memory using the tag address in the input address, load the correct data into the data memory from the slow-memory and modify the behaviour of the bypass circuit.

Title: Aircraft tail having leading edge slat
Inventor: HOFFERNBERG ROBERT
IPC: B64C5/02
Filed: 2008-06-10
Abstract: An aircraft comprises a vertical tail 10, 200 which includes a leading edge slat 18, 202 that can be moved to increase the maximum aerodynamic yawing moment provided by the tail. Ideally, the leading edge slat is symmetrical about the cruise chord line of the vertical stabiliser, and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. Further, the slat preferably pivots relative to the main element. By extending the leading edge slat of the vertical tail forwardly, a gap is created between the tail main (fixed) lift surface 16, 204 and the slat 18, 202, allowing air to pass through the slot and further delay boundary layer separation, thereby enabling a greater a yawing moment to be achieved. The vertical tail slat may be operated simultaneously with the rudder 206. The description also briefly mentions applications to high-speed marine and land vehicles, and that its use is not restricted to vertically oriented flight control surfaces.
