Title: Tile region protection
Inventor: IAN KING
IPC: G09G5/00
Filed: 2018-12-04
Abstract: A graphics processing system and associated method for performing tile-based rendering of a scene that includes safety-critical elements are disclosed. The system includes a geometry engine 319 configured to, in a geometry processing phase, identify protected tiles including security-related information. A fragment processing engine 320 is configured to, in a fragment processing phase, process twice in succession the crucial tiles so as to generate first and second outputs. Subsequently, for each protected tile, a check unit 314 compares both outputs, raising a fault signal if they do not match. The fragment processor may process only once tiles not depicting safety-related information. The system may employ several geometry and/or fragment processors (Fig.4). The verification unit may generate characteristic signatures for the outputs of the fragment processing phase for comparison. The processing units may be subdivided in mission (303, Fig. 4) and safety (304, Fig. 4) processors. The geometry engine may be configured to receive geometry data defining elements contained in a scene, and transforming them to represent these objects from the point of view of a frame to be rendered.

Title: Hydraulically assisted pulser system and related methods
Inventor: MANOJ GOPALAN
IPC: E21B47/24
Filed: 2019-01-08
Abstract: An asynchronous top-mounted pulser system for a measurement while drilling tool uses hydraulic flow, an obstruction, a piston-balance system, and an orifice, to create pressure pulses in drilling fluid, using hydraulic pressure on an obstruction in a main pulser to assist in closing the obstruction. A valve poppet is set above (upstream of) the orifice and is pushed by fluid flow towards a closing position. The piston-balance system, connected to the poppet and located downstream of the orifice in the main pulser, responds to net pressures on the upstream and downstream sides of the piston to move the poppet. The piston also responds to a spring assembly urging the piston downstream, and tending to move the valve poppet to a closed position. A servo pulser, located downstream of the main pulser, opens and closes a rotary shear servo valve-controlled bypass flow path to control the net pressures on the piston.

Title: Method of signalling in a video codec
Inventor: SAVERIO BLASI
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2019-03-08
Abstract: Intra encoding or decoding of a block of video data using a most probable mode list of different intra prediction modes S110 chosen from a plurality of intra prediction modes, or otherwise encoding/decoding the intra prediction without generating a most probable mode (MPM) list. An initial flag S102 may indicate whether or not the current intra mode is directional, with the mode being directly coded if not S104, and MPM process being done only in the directional case S106. When a most probable mode list is used, indexes in the bitstream may indicate whether or not the chosen mode is on the MPM list S112 and, if so, which mode on the list should be used S114. When the most probable list is not generated, the mode index may be directly encoded into the bitstream S108 to enable identification of the selected mode as a member of a mode list comprising the plurality of modes.

Title: Machine learning for amino acid chain evaluation
Inventor: NICOLÁS LOPEZ CARRANZA
IPC: G16B40/00
Filed: 2021-06-22
Abstract: A method for evaluating an amino acid chain that includes: obtaining a sequence of letters that represent corresponding amino acid positions in an amino acid chain, generating probability values associated with a position in the chain and applying a language model to the sequence to determine probability values associated with the positions wherein the language model is trained using a dataset of amino acid chains. Comparison of the probabilities may produce candidate amino acid in a chain. In this way, it may be possible to identify promising candidate amino acids in order to change the characteristics of the amino acid chain according to one or more criteria (e.g. design a protein which has a greater binding energy with a virus protein than the human receptor protein.) The probabilities determined for each position may be of a different type and a probability of a second type may result from the product of probabilities associated with a letters representing a position. The language model may include a Transformer model including a decoder being input to a softmax function dependent on a temperature value.

Title: Apparatus and method for the distribution of audio and/or video data
Inventor: MICHAEL JONES
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2021-11-26
Abstract: Some modern satellite transmission send a single wideband signal on each of the horizontal and vertical polarisations 22,24 (rather than two high/low frequency signals on each polarisation used in previous satellite systems). The invention’s fibre satellite system uses optical fibres to carry the signal from the receiver dish rather than the more conventional co-axial cables. The invention takes the horizontal/vertical wideband signal from an LNB 20 (low noise block) frequency multiplexes/stacks these signals 26 and modulates 34 the combined result on to an optical signal. The optical signal is transmitted over a fibre optic cable 38 to the receiver. The receiver (Fig. 2b) demodulates the optical signal and demultiplexes the horizontal/vertical wideband signals.
