Patent GB-2577669-A (GB)
Title: Improvements to manifold design
Inventor: ALAN WYNN-DAVIES
IPC: F16L37/00
Filed: 2018-06-14
Abstract: The crux of the invention is the flexibility of the ends of the pipes or tubes as they enter the manifold. An upper plate which has a cylindrical or disk-shaped body for receiving at least one pipe or tube. A lower plate may receive at least one [corresponding] pipe or tube. The lower plate may allow at least one pipe or tube to move, such that its longitudinal axis is not perpendicular to the planes of the upper or lower plates. The connector may hold four pipes or tubes. The connector may comprise means to limit rotation. The invention essentially allows multiple pipes or tubes to be loosely held in place so that they can be re-positioned and manipulated in order to form tight seals between two pipes or tubes. The prior art sometimes has difficultly forming tight seals when multiple pipes are rigidly fixed, because the positions are often not precise enough to allow all pipes to form a tight seal when engaged, thus having flexibility in the positioning allows for all to have a tight seal when engaged. The upper plate and lower plate, which hold the pipes/tubes in place, slot into one another, and have notches which prevent the pipes from twisting as the bodies cannot twist relative to one another.

Patent GB-2577930-A (GB)
Title: A traction control system
Inventor: RICHARD FORD
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2018-10-11
Abstract: A vehicle has a wheel 101 driven by a first electric motor (e.g. an in-wheel motor) that includes a first set of coil windings. The vehicle also has a traction control system that includes first and second controllers. The first controller controls current in the first set of coil windings for generating a drive torque for driving the first wheel. The second controller 102 determines: a maximum wheel velocity, based on a first slip ratio value for the wheel and the vehicle velocity; and a minimum wheel velocity, based on a second slip ratio value for the wheel and the vehicle velocity. The second controller communicates: the maximum and minimum wheel velocity values; and a torque demand value, corresponding to a drive torque for driving the wheel, to the first controller, wherein the first controller controls current in the first set of coil windings to generate a drive torque based on these values. If the first controller determines that the received torque demand value would result in the motor generating a torque that results in the wheel speed exceeding the maximum or minimum speed limit, the first controller is arranged to prevent this occurring, even if the torque generated by the motor is different from the torque demand value that is received.

Patent GB-2580530-A (GB)
Title: Graphics texture mapping
Inventor: Carmelo Giliberto
IPC: G06T15/04
Filed: 2019-12-06
Abstract: When a texture mapper in a graphics processor is performing a texturing operation for a set of (e.g. four, a “quad”) execution threads together following the receipt of a request from a fragment shader, the texture mapper determines (500) whether the texturing operation for the set of threads can be performed together with the texturing operation for another set of execution threads (e.g. another “quad”) for which a texturing operation is required. When the texture mapper determines that the texturing operations for the (e.g. two) sets of execution threads can be performed together (YES) (e.g. based on the similarity of the performed texturing operation, reading the same texture(s), using the same control parameters, belonging to the same thread group), it does so (502, 503, 504) (e.g. by merging, performing the operations as a single operation sequence), but when it determines that the texturing operation for the set of threads cannot be performed together (NO) with the texturing operation for another set of execution threads, it performs the texturing operation for the set of execution threads separately (505, 506, 507), e.g. by stalling one and performing the other. Texture mapping throughput and efficiency is thus improved.
