Title: Wind-powered electricity generator
Inventor: WILLIAM ROBERT DOE
IPC: H02S10/12
Filed: 2022-06-16
Abstract: A building 10 comprises a building structure and a wind-powered electricity generator 22. The building structure defines a first air flow path which extends from a first inlet end 40 to the generator at a first outlet end 42; the cross-sectional area of the first air flow path is smaller at the first outlet end than the first inlet end such that the air flow path narrows, so the building structure acts to funnel wind flowing towards the generator and thereby increase the wind speed incident on the generator. The building may define a second air flow path that extends from a second inlet end to the generator. The air flow path(s) may be defined by a roof 12 of the building. The building may be a car port. The generator may comprise a horizontal axis wind turbine or a vertical axis wind turbine.

Title: Integrated circuit with asymmetric access privileges
Inventor: MICHAEL CHANDLER-PAGE
IPC: G06F21/76
Filed: 2021-08-04
Abstract: An integrated circuit 750 has two interfaces 702 and 751. Internal functions of the circuit are accessed from the interfaces via a bus 753 using address ranges. A programable access control unit 740 controls access to the bus from the interfaces using a gate 741, 747 per interface. An audit module 742 compares an incoming request with a policy table 743. The policy table indicates what address ranges are accessible from each interface. If the request is allowed for that interface, the associated gate is opened. Otherwise, the gate is closed. An addressable control register 759 may be used to designate the interfaces as restricted or unrestricted. One interface may be connected to a secure microcontroller, which initialises the circuit. The other interface may be connected to a processor.
