Title: Electrosurgical device
Inventor: MARNO NAGTEGAAL
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2017-01-09
Abstract: A surgical instrument having a handle, elongate shaft 316, end effector and a trigger mechanism has a pair of chambers 608, 610 with a force absorbing member such as a spring 312 between them. This acts to limit the force applied by the jaws of the end effector, such that the trigger mechanism may be latched into a locked position without undue force being applied to tissue between the jaw members. The spring 312 should be larger than the minimum cavity between the chambers 608, 610 such that it is never compressed to its solid state (which would prevent it from absorbing force applied by the trigger).

Title: 360-Degree video encoding with block-based extension of the boundary of projected parts
Inventor: PATRICE ONNO
IPC: H04N19/597
Filed: 2017-06-30
Abstract: The invention relates to the encoding of spherical 360-degree videos using 2D block-based encoders. The encoding requires a spherical 360-degree image to be projected onto a projection subpart of a 2D image. The boundary of the projected image may then be extended, within the 2D image, into an extended block-based boundary portion based on the block structure used by the 2D encoder to then encode the 2D image. The boundary extension may be set along block edges in the vicinity of the projected image. The extended pixels added to the projected image may be padding pixels with values set based on continuing 360-degree image projection or based on neighboring pixels. Preferably, an outward strip is obtained along the boundary portion. The extended block-based boundary is based upon the blocks in said strip. Preferably the boundary portion is circular with radius R, and the outward strip is defined between the boundary and an outer circular portion with radius greater than R. More homogenous blocks can be obtained for better compression by the encoder, while the seam artefacts resulting from discontinuity between projected subparts of the 360-degree image are reduced.

Title: Call-ahead downloading to vehicles
Inventor: Sagar Kumar Regmi
IPC: H04W4/44
Filed: 2018-06-15
Abstract: A vehicle controller communicates with a cellular communication system to request content. The content is transmitted to one or more road side units with storage (RSS) lying on the vehicles known or inferred trajectory. When the vehicle passes by the RSS some or all of the content is transmitted to the vehicle using a short-range, high-bandwidth communication protocol. The content may be divided into segments and each segment sent to an RSS. The segments may be sized according to a capacity and transmission speed of the RSS, and the amount of time the vehicle is expected to spend traversing a range of the RSS. The traversal time may be predicted based on expected velocity. The expected RSSs may be updated when a change to the trajectory is detected. Content may be cached in the RSS for use by other vehicles.

Title: Instruction cache in a multi-threaded processor
Inventor: Alan Graham Alexander
IPC: G06F12/0875
Filed: 2018-12-27
Abstract: A barrel threaded processor has a repeat cache. When the processor executes a repeat instruction, it checks to see if the cache is claimed. If not, the processor loads the instructions indicated by the repeat instruction into the cache, marks the cache as claimed and then executes the instructions the number of times indicated by a count operand of the repeat instruction. If the cache is claimed and has cached the instructions relating to the same repeat instruction, then the thread executes the instructions in the cache the number of times indicated by the count operand of the repeat instruction. The instructions to be repeated may follow the repeat instruction. The repeat instruction may have a size operand indicating the amount of code to repeat. The operands may be immediate operands or may indicate a register holding the operand value. The count operand may take a non-negative value.
