Patent GB-2419480-A (GB)
Title: Motor protection using estimated motor temperature
Inventor: CHROSTOWSKI THOMAS
IPC: H02H6/00
Filed: 2005-10-19
Abstract: The temperature of a motor 14 is estimated from the ambient temperature 22; the motor current 18, the time 20 that the current is applied to the motor, and a thermal property 24. When the estimated temperature of the motor 14 exceeds a safe operating temperature a voltage applied to the motor by controller 16 is reduced. The voltage applied to motor 14 may be increased when the estimated temperature returns to a value that is no greater than the safe operating temperature. Temperature estimator 12 and motor controller 16 may be integrated, may comprise a microprocessor, and may utilise an algorithm. Motor 14 may be used to control the position of an automotive seat.

Title: Handling Exception Signals in Translated Code
Inventor: KNOWLES PAUL THOMAS
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2007-04-19
Abstract: A computer system translates subject code written for a different instruction set architecture to target code which may be executed directly by the processor of the computer system. When an exception is generated during the execution of the target code, a target side exception handler receives the exception. Sub-handlers are called in turn to process the exception. The sub-handlers request that either the exception is passed to the next sub-handler or that execution is resumed. If none of the sub-handlers request that execution is resumed, the signal is passed to a subject side handler. The sub-handlers may be selected based on the type of exception generated. The order in which the sub-handlers are called may be predefined for a given signal type. The subject side handler may be passed a subject side context which has been generated from the target side context.
